3. History of Chanderi
• Chanderi is a block in Ashok Nagar District. Chanderi
is located strategically on the borders
of Malwa and Bundelkhand. History of Chanderi goes
back to the 11th century, when it was dominated by
the trade routes of Central India and was proximate
to the arterial route to the ancient ports
of Gujarat as well as to Malwa, Mewar, Central
India and the Deccan. Consequently, Chanderi
became an important military outpost. The town
also finds mention in Mahabharata. Shishupal was
the king of Chanderi during the Mahabharata period.

4. • Chanderi is mentioned by the Persian scholar Alberuni in
1030. Ghiyas ud din Balban captured the city in 1251
for Nasir ud din Mahmud, Sultan of Delhi. Sultan Mahmud I
Khilji of Malwa captured the city in 1438 after a siege of
several months. In 1520 Rana Sanga of Mewar captured the
city, and gave it to Medini Rai, a rebellious minister of
Sultan Mahmud II of Malwa. In the Battle of Chanderi, the
Mughal Emperor Babur captured the city from Medini Rai
and witnessed the macabre Rajput rite of jauhar, in which,
faced with certain defeat and in an attempt to escape
dishonor in the hands of the enemy, women with children
in their arms jumped in a fire pit to commit suicide, which
was made for this specific purpose, against the background
of vedic hymns recited by the priests.

5. • The Bundela Rajputs captured the city in 1586, and it was
held by Ram Sab, a son of Raja Madhukar of Orchha. In 1680
Devi Singh Bundela was made governor of the city, and
Chanderi remained in the hands of his family until it was
annexed in 1811 by Jean Baptiste Filose for
the Maratha ruler Daulat Rao Sindhia of Gwalior. The city was
transferred to the British in 1844. The British lost control of
the city during the Revolt of 1857, and the city was
recaptured by Sir Hugh Rose on 14 March 1858. Richard Harte
Keatinge led the assault, for which he was awarded
the Victoria Cross. The city was transferred back to the
Sindhias of Gwalior in 1861, and became part of Isagarh
District of Gwalior state.
• After India's independence in 1947, Gwalior became part of
the new state of Madhya Bharat, which was merged
into Madhya Pradesh on 1 November 1956.
