Tonk was a princely state in India under the supervision of the Rajputana Agency of the British Raj. It was located primarily in the present-day Indian state of Rajasthan with small portions in Madhya Pradesh. The town of Tonk, which was the capital of the state, had a population of 273,201 in 1901. As a salute state, its ruler, styled the Nawab of Tonk, was granted a 17-gun salute. The state came to an end after the partition of India when the Nawab of Tonk acceded to India.[1] At that time, it was the only princely state of Rajputana with a Muslim ruling dynasty.[2]
Its first ruler, Muhammad Amir Khan was originally granted the state by the Holkar dynasty in 1806. Tonk and the surrounding regions were captured from Jaipur State and rewarded to Amir Khan for his services. In 1817, after the Third Anglo-Maratha War, Amir Khan submitted to the British East India Company; the British acknowledged Amir Khan as the hereditary ruler of Tonk on the condition that he disbanded his army, which consisted of 52 battalions of infantry, 15,000 Pashtun cavalry and 150 artillery. He surrendered on the condition that the British enlist his men and buy his artillery. Rampura and Aligarh[clarification needed] were presented as gift by the British to Amir Khan for his co-operation.[3]
