Pachlana

Pachlana Thikana, situated in the historic Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, was a prominent estate ruled by the Fatehsingot Rathores, an illustrious offshoot of the Rathore dynasty. The lineage of this thikana is traced back to Maharaj Fateh Singh, a descendant of the royal house of Ratlam State, which was established by the legendary Rajput warrior Raja Ratan Singh Rathore. Carved out during the geopolitical transitions of the 17^th and 18^th centuries in Central India, Pachlana functioned as a crucial fiefdom, defending its territories and maintaining local administrative autonomy. Throughout the Mughal, Maratha, and British periods, the thikana upheld its martial traditions and socio-cultural influence in the region until its integration into the Union of India post-independence.
