The Kingdom of Dholpur is a nation located in the Rajastan region of the Indian subcontinent and a puppet state of the Empire of Iran. It is East of the Kingdom of Jaipur and the Kingdom of Jodhpur, South of the Kingdom of Punjab, West of the Sultanate of Delhi and North of the Kingdom of Bhopal.
==History==
Very little is known of the early history of the state. According to tradition a predecessor state was established as Dhavalapura. In 1505 neighboring Gohad State of Rana Jats was founded and between 1740 and 1756 Gohad occupied Gwalior Fort. From 1761 to 1775 Dholpur was annexed to Bharatpur State and between 1782 and December 1805 Dholpur was again annexed by Gwalior. On 10 January 1806 Dholpur became a British protectorate and in the same year the Ruler of Gohad merged Gohad into Dholpur.
The last ruler of Dholpur signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union on 7 April 1949 and the state was merged in Matsya Union and was part of the Union until it gained it's Independence from India after Imperial Iran's invasion of India.
==Government==
The Government of Dholpur is a constitutional monarchy ruled by the Maharajahs of the Jat ethnic Bamraulia Dynasty. Other than the Maharajahs, the government is run by a Prime Minister who is appointed by the Maharajah with approval of Imperial Iranian authorities.

*Maharajah: Hemant Singh

The Commander in Chief of the State Forces is the Maharajah of Dholpur who has ceremonial authority wheras the real authority is in the hands of the Chief of the State forces.

Dholpur Military School is housed in Kesarbagh Palace, a magnificent mansion of the former ruler of the erstwhile Dholpur State. It is 10.5 kilometers away from Dholpur City and on Dholpur-Bari Road. Govt PG College is located two kilometers away from the city towards the railway station. The only PG college in Dholpur city was established four decades ago after independence.
==Economy ==
The economy of the Kingdom is primarily agricultural, but that is not a good thing due to the fact, Dholpur is reputed to be the location of the highest recorded temperature in the Indian Subcontinent.
