Its capital was Surgana in Nashik District of present-day Maharashtra. Surgana State's last ruler signed the accession to join the Indian Union in March 1948. HistorySurgana State was founded towards the end of the 18th century. The territory of the state is mountainous and used to be inhabited mostly by Koli kshatriya. The chiefs of Surgana were Maratha Koli Kshatriya's from Malwa and the ancestors trace their genealogy to Parmar from Mount Abu and Rajasthan. They prevented the Bhils and Kol of the Dangs from raiding Hatgadh Fort and the ghats. They also provided military services to neighbouring 14 chiefs. They were titled as Deshmukh "Desh" means "country" and "Mukh" means "mouth" Spoke person of his country, of the Hatgadh division of Nasik which included the town of Surgana and other villages. They refused to pay tribute to the Marathas and Mughals so they were marked as rebel land (Bandi Mulk). Due to their strategic position between Surat and Deccan, Marathas made peace with them. In 1818, they attacked a British police party passing through their state. The British retaliated and captured the chief Malhar Rao and hanged him in 1819. So Surgana State became a British protectorate in 1818.[2] The British made Bhikaji Rao as the new chief as he helped them against the Marathas. Bhikaji Rao was murdered in the riot caused by the mother of Malharrao and her brother-in-law, Pilaji. Pilaji was captured and executed by the British. The descendants of Malharrao were allowed the share in revenues of the state in 1846 and were granted an allowance grant in 1877. The chief of the state had powers to elect a Representative Member of the Chambers of Princes from 1921 to 1947. In March 1948, the last chief Dhairyashil Rao signed the Gujarat States Merger Agreement and ceded the state to Union of India. Later Dhairyashil Rao also served as the Member of the Rajya Sabha in 1952–1968 and 1972–1978. The Princely State was bordered on the south by Peinth in Nasik, and in the west by the Bansda and Dharampur States. RulersThe rulers of the state bore the title 'Deshmukh'. Surgana State's rulers belonged to the Hindu Pawar dynasty of Mahadev Kolis.[3] Deshmukhs
