Jamkhandi was a princely state of British India on the Deccan Plateau in what is now the state of Karnataka . Its capital was the place Jamkhandi .
The Brahmin Har Bhat Patwardhan rose in the service of the Peshwa of the Marathas ; he was the ancestor of the princes of Budhgaon , Miraj , Kurundwad , Sangli , Jamkhandi and Tasgaon . The first Raja of Jamkhandi was Gopal Rao Ramchandra Rao Patwardhan (1811-40). In 1820 Tasgaon was separated as a separate principality; this became British in 1848. Jamkhandi itself was a British protectorate until 1947. In 1941 it had an area of 1,357 square kilometers and 131,000 inhabitants. Jamkhandi consisted of two parts, a northern one around the capital Jamkhandi in today 's Bagalkot district and a southern one around the city of Kundgol in the Dharwad district .
After Great Britain decided on July 18, 1947 to give India and Pakistan independence (see History of India ), Jamkhandi first became independent, and the last Raja, Parshuram Rao II. Patwardhan, founded the United Deccan States along with 15 other princes which were annexed to the state of Bombay on February 5, 1948 . On February 19th the Raja formally annexed India. In 1956 Jamkhandi came to the state of Mysore through the States Reorganization Act (renamed Karnataka in 1973 ).
