Midnapore Raj

According to Binoy Ghosh, the kings of Karnagarh ruled over a zamindari that included Midnapore and the surrounding areas.

It didn't last though.They were soon defeated by an alliance of Bhurshut , Mallabhum and the Mughals Laxman Singh's grandson Raja Chhotu Roy was enthroned as the next ruler.

Both the queens met the king of Narajole, Raja Trilochan Khan, who provided them shelter and promised to recover their property.

However, the East India Company were suspicious that Rani Shiromani had links with those involved in the Chuar rebellion, and as a result they considerably restricted the amount of sovereignty she held in response.

There, however, are other sources that say that the Chuar rebellion took place as a series of insurrections by people who lived off the jungles and a sort of primitive agriculture in the old Manbhum, Bankura and Midnapore districts between 1771 and 1809, generally under dispossessed zamindars that included Rani Shiromani of Karnagarh [11] Karnagarh fort consisted of about 100 bighas of land, stretching for about 4 miles, that was surrounded by the Parang River.
