history
The principality was in 1437 by Rana founded Anand Deo, who claimed by the Rathore - Rajputs of Marwar ( Jodhpur descent).
Alirajpur was a British protectorate from 1819 to 1947 and had 50,180 inhabitants in 1901, who lived in 307 villages on an area of 2165 km². The population consisted largely of Adivasi : Bhilala (47%), Bhil (31%), and Patila (4%). Muslim Makrani , members of the powerful vizier in the early 19th century, formed a ruling class.
In the decade 1891–1901 the population fell by 28% as a result of the devastating famine . The Raja had been entitled to 11 rounds of salute since 1920 (previously 9), so he automatically received a seat in the Chamber of Princes created in 1921 .
The ruler was annexed to India on June 15, 1948 and joined the Madhya Bharat Princely Union on June 16. On November 1, 1956, all princely states of the Union were dissolved and Alirajpur was incorporated as Tehsil into the state of Madhya Pradesh .
