Madhya Pradesh’s capital was Nagpur?!😱🤯 ft. @unseenmadhyapradesh #madhyapradesh #bhopal #nagpur

Capital of your state? - In 1817, the British Government of India and the Nawab of Bhopal signed a treaty, leading to Bhopal’s status as a princely state under British rule. - When India gained independence in 1947 and in 1950, the reorganisation of territories in India led to the classification of regions into three categories: Part A, Part B, and Part C states. - In central India, this led to the emergence of four states: Madhya Bharat and Vindhya Pradesh as former princely states, Bhopal as a separate state, and Madhya Pradesh as a composition of multiple regions. - Nagpur was the capital of Madhya Pradesh and Bhopal was a separate state. - Madhya Pradesh was formed on November 1, 1956, by merging several princely states and territories, those were: - Madhya Bharat: Madhya Bharat was a former princely state that included territories such as Gwalior, Indore, and Malwa. It was ruled by the Scindia dynasty. - Vindhya Pradesh: Vindhya Pradesh was another princely state encompassing parts of present-day Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. - Bhopal State: Bhopal was a princely state ruled by the Nawabs and Begums of Bhopal. It had its capital in the city of Bhopal. - Central Provinces and Berar: The Central Provinces and Berar were former British-administered territories covering much of present-day Madhya Pradesh. - Nagpur and the Vidarbha region joined the state of Maharashtra. - When Madhya Pradesh was established, the capital city was a matter of consideration. Initially, Jabalpur, due to its historical significance and role in the independence movement, was considered the capital. However, the decision was ultimately made to designate Bhopal as the capital of Madhya Pradesh. ….
