Banganapalle (also Banaganapalli , Banganapalli ) was a princely state of British India in the Deccan in what is now the state of Andhra Pradesh ; The capital was Banganapalle . The Jagir Banganapalle existed since 1665 as a fiefdom of the Muslim Sultanate of Bijapur , which was conquered by Aurangzeb in 1686 for the Mughal Empire . In 1783 Banganapalle was annexed by Mysore , and in 1790 it was recaptured by its previous owner Ghulam Ali Khan, who was given the title Mansur ad-Daula by the Nizam of Hyderabad , together with his brother-in-law Sayyid Asad Ali Khan, a Shiite and son of a minister of the Shah of Persia .
When the Nizam handed over the Kurnool ( Karnulu ) district to the British in 1800 , Banganpalle came under the sovereignty of the Madras presidency . 1831-48 the fiefdom was withdrawn from the Nizam due to mismanagement, but was administered by the British (as well as from February to April 1905). Sayyid Fateh Ali Khan (1868-1905) got the title Nawab in 1876 . In 1901 the country had an area of 712 km² and 32,000 inhabitants. In 1939 the British took over the administration again and the Nawab Fadli Ali Khan III. had to leave the country. After India became independent in 1947 (see History of India ), the Nawab was annexed on February 23, and Banganapalle came to the state of Madras , from which Andhra Pradesh was separated in 1953 . On November 1, 1956, all princely states were abolished.
