Tori Fatehpur (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist. or टोडी फ़तेहपुर), also known as Tori, was a princely state in India during the British Raj. It was one of the Hasht-Bhaiya Jagirs, under the Bundelkhand Agency of British India.[1] Today it is part of Jhansi District in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
History[edit | edit source]
Tori Fatehpur State was founded in the Bundelkhand region in 1812 by a descendant of the royal family of Orchha Diwan Rai Singh of Baragaon near Jhansi. He had eight sons who were granted Jagirs, including Dhurwai, Bijna, and Tori Fatehpur.[2]
Tori Fatehpur is on a hill near Gursarai, about 100 km from Jhansi. The fort on the hill is more than 300 years old.[3]
A part royal family started living in a town near Jhansi in the late 1880s after a massive drought and adapted a name "Biswari" for survival. After drought state lost all of its trade and other sources of fortune which resulted in downfall of state.
After Indian independence, on 1 January 1950, Tori Fatehpur acceded to the Republic of India and was merged into the Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh.
