Sangli was a princely state of British India on the Deccan Plateau in today's states of Maharashtra and Karnataka . Its capital was the place Sangli .
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 Jagir ( fiefdom ) Sangli initially belonged to Miraj, but Shrimant Rao Chintamanrao I. Appasaheb Patwardhan was expelled by his uncle and founded the city and principality of Sangli in 1801, which was a British protectorate from 1818-1947 . Chintamanrao II. Dhundirajrao Appasaheb Patwardhan (1901-56) was raised to Raja in 1932 . Sangli had an area of 2941 square kilometers and 296,000 inhabitants in 1941. The Sanglis area consisted of numerous scattered villages in the districts of Satara , Solapur , Belgaum and Dharwad .
After Great Britain had decided on July 18, 1947 to give India and Pakistan independence (see History of India ), Sangli first became independent and the Raja, along with 15 other princes, founded the United Deccan States , which on February 5, 1948 the State of Bombay were incorporated. On March 8, the Raja formally annexed India. In 1956, the southern villages came to the state of Mysore (renamed Karnataka in 1973 ) by the States Reorganization Act , the rest remained with Bombay, from which the state of Maharashtra emerged in 1960 .
