Akkalkot State

In 1911, the state enjoyed a revenue estimated at Rs.26,586/- and paid a tribute to the British Raj of Rs.1,000/-.

Upon his adoption, Ranoji assumed the name 'Fatehsinh Bhonsle' and received in appenage the town of Akkalkot and surrounding areas.

Akkalkot then became one of several vassals of Satara to be recognised as separate princely states by the British Raj.

The political history of the state is remarkable in having been altogether free of major incident.

However, given their stability and association (by adoption) with the dynasty of Chhattrapati Shivaji, the family came to be linked by marriage to nearly every major Maratha ruling family in India.
