Rajoli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rajoli is a town situated at Sakoli tahsil in the District Of Bhandara in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

Before its independence Zamindari estate was under Muslim family rule from 1851 to 1947. The ruler was popularly known as Nawab of Rajoli. The Zamindari system was abolished in India after independence in 1947.[citation needed]

The Rajoli estate is said to have been conferred on the ancestors of the present family about six generations ago for assistance given by them against the Gonds. A grant signed by the Bhonsla Raja in 1775 stated that it had been held by the family for many year's. The family is believed to have been a branch of that of Rahim Ali Khan, the governor of Dongartal, who held the fort of Sangarhi in Bhandara, and granted these estates to some of his relatives.
