v1.c25.6

¹ [The present Akalkot State is bounded on the north by Hyderābād; on the east by a portion of Kurandvād (Junior) State and Hyderābād; on the south by Bijāpur District and Hyderābād; and on the west by the Sholāpur District, the Collector of which acts as Political Agent of the State. The Chief became a British feudatory in 1849, and in 1868 his liability to furnish a cavalry contingent was commuted for an annual tribute of Rs. 14,500. During the minority of the present Chief, who ranks as a first-class Sardār of the Deccan, the State was managed by the British Government. (I.G. Bom., 1909, ii. 508–11.)]
