Patiala State 〔(Gazetteer )〕 was a self-governing princely state outside British India during the British Raj period in the Indian sub-continent. Patiala was one of the Phulkian States. When the British left India in 1947, they abandoned their subsidiary alliances with the princely states, and the Maharajah of Patiala acceded his state to the new Union of India. ==History== Patiala State was established by Muslim kasana and Brar Sikh Jats. Patiala state was established by two friends, Ala Singh Brar, a Sikh Jat, and Lakhna kasana, a Muslim, in about 1721. Initially, they captured 24 villages and then enhanced further by conquering more and more adjacent areas. From the beginning of Patiala State until 1857, the Raja used to be a Sikh, from the family of Ala Sing Brar and the Army Commander, a Muslim, from the family of Lakhna kasana—most likely because of an oral understanding and agreement of the two founders. The renowned commanders (Sipah Salar) of Patiala State, from Lakhna kasana's family were: Lakhna kasana, Sadar Deen kasana, Shaira kasana, Kaima kasana, Saida kasana, sardar Karim-Buksh kasana and sardar Kala kasana,who was commander-in-chief of Patiala in Sikh-English war fought at Mudhki.From(1845-1862) Patiala was ruled by Jat ruler Maharaja Narendra Singh who fortified the city of Patiala by constructing ramparts and ten gates around it as listed below. Darshani gate – Main entrance of Qila Mubarak Lahori gate Nabha gate Samana gate Sirhindi gate Sheranwala gate Safabadi gate Sunami gate Top Khana Gate Ghalori Gate The royal house is now headed by His Highness Maharajadhiraj Captain Amarinder Singh, Mahendra Bahadur of Patiala who also served as the Chief Minister of Punjab from 2002 to 2007. The royals are considered cultural and political icons in Patiala. Maharaja Karam Singh who ruled from 1813 to 1845 (the Sikh Kingdom of Patiala in Punjab) was also known as a traitor. He joined the British East India Company and helped the British during the First Anglo Sikh wars against the Sikh Empire of Maharajah Ranjit Singh of Punjab which was larger and extended from Tibet Kashmir, plains of Punjab to Peshawar near the Afghan borders. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patiala State」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
