Chang Bhakar (also Changbhakar ; capital Bharatpur , from 1946 Janakpur ) was a princely state of British India on the Chota-Nagpur plateau in today's state of Chhattisgarh . The principality of the Chauhan - Rajputs was originally part of Korea , in 1818 the British East India Company made it a separate state under the sovereignty of Korea, and in 1848 an independent British protectorate (until 1947). In 1901 it had an area of 2347 km² and 19,548 inhabitants.
Chang Bhakar joined the Eastern States Union in August 1947 . On January 1, 1948, this union was dissolved and Chang Bhakar was incorporated into Madhya Pradesh and thus India . On November 1, 1956, all princely states were dissolved. Since November 1, 2000, the area has belonged to the newly formed state of Chhattisgarh.
