The district of Sumbhulpore constituted part of the 
ancient kingdom of Gurrah. It was overrun by the Mogul 
armies of Aurungzebe, and the rajah compelled to pay

became independent, and continued so till about the middle 
of the last century, when it was once more laid waste by the 
Nagpore Mahrattas, and again reduced to the humiliating 
condition of a tributary state. During the war between the

territories, and still retain them, to the great comfort and 
satisfaction of the inhabitants.
