Chhirpani

The Chhirpani Zamindari represents the primary patrimonial division of the historical Baderi estate, a prominent vassalage under the Baghela dynasty of Rewa. Established when the fief, comprising five villages, was granted to Lal Mohan Singh Ji—the second son of Shri Thakur Saheb Lal Ahlad Singh Ji of Baderi—the estate functioned as a distinct socio-political pocket within the larger Baghelkhand region of Central India. Throughout the Maratha and British colonial periods, the Baghela chieftains of Chhirpani maintained their local agrarian authority, revenue collection, and ancestral customs in alignment with the treaties of the Rewa State. This traditional feudal administration persisted until the post-independence era, when the passage of the Madhya Pradesh Abolition of Proprietary Rights Act of 1950 formally integrated these zamindari lands into the Indian Union, bringing an end to its hereditary landlordship.
