Hadoti

Hadoti was the country around Bundi in southeastern Rajputana, named for the Hada Rajputs. The Hada chief Rao Deva had taken Bundi from the Meenas in 1241, and his successors ruled as vassals of Mewar.

After the siege of Ranthambore, Rao Surjan Singh submitted to Akbar and received the title Rao Raja in 1569. In 1631 Shah Jahan made Kota a separate kingdom under Rao Madho Singh. Both Bundi and Kota faced Maratha and Pindari raids before accepting subsidiary alliances with the British East India Company in 1818.
