Mamdot State

1800 CE – 1855 CE (approx.) · capital Mamdot

A Pathan Nawabi state on the Sutlej, granted by Ranjit Singh to the Kasur family and taken over by the British in 1855.

Origins

After Ranjit Singh annexed Kasur around 1807, he compensated its Pathan ruling family with the lands of Mamdot on the south bank of the Sutlej. Qutb-ud-din Khan and his descendants ruled there as Nawabs.

Rule and society

Mamdot later passed under British protection. Nawab Jamal-ud-din Khan supported the British in the First Anglo-Sikh War in 1845, but was deprived of ruling powers in 1855 for misgovernment, after which the family held Mamdot as a large estate.

Decline and legacy

After 1855 Mamdot was part of British Ferozepur district. The family stayed prominent: Iftikhar Hussain Khan Mamdot became the first Chief Minister of West Punjab in Pakistan in 1947.
