'''Sakti State''' was one of the [[princely states]] of India during the [[British Raj]]. It belonged to the [[Chhattisgarh States Agency]], which later became the [[Eastern States Agency]].<br />
<br />
The capital was [[Sakti, Chhattisgarh|Sakti]] town, which had 1,791 inhabitants, according to the [[1901 Census of India]]. Today, it is located in the state of [[Chhattisgarh]]. It had an area of 357&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> and, in 1982, a population of 22,819 inhabitants. Its rulers were [[Gondi people|Gond]] and had a [[privy purse]] of 29,000 [[rupee]]s. The princely state acceded to the [[Dominion of India|Indian Union]] on 1 January 1948, thus ceasing to exist.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Sakti State's rulers were [[Raj Gond]]s. The year when the state was founded is not known. Legend says that it was founded by two twin brothers, who were soldiers of the Raja of [[Sambalpur]]. The capital was in [[Sakti, Chhattisgarh|Sakti]], [[Janjgir-Champa district]], [[Chhattisgarh]].<ref>[http://www.indianrajputs.com/view/sakti Sakti (Princely State)]</ref><br />
Sakti's last ruler was Rana Bahadur Leeladhar Singh, born on 3 February 1892, who succeeded as new [[Rana (title)|rana]] on 4 July 1914. The princely family still exists and is headed by Raja Surender Bahadur Singh, who represented India in its [[field hockey|hockey]] team and was twice a minister for the government of the State of [[Madhya Pradesh]].<br />
