Madhya Pradesh is the second largest Sate in India, and geographically occupies pivotal position in the country. King Ashoka first of all ruled over Ujjain. A sizeable portion of Central India was part of the Gupta Empire (300-500 A.D.). The Muslims came into Central India in the beginning of 11th century, Mahmud of Ghazni being the first of them, followed by Mohammad Gouri, who incorporated some parts of Central India into his ruling territory of Delhi. Central India was also part of the Mughal Empire. During the period between the beginning of the influence of Marathas and the death of Madhoji Scindia in 1794, the Marathas were in power in Central India, but later on, other small states started coming into existence. These small states became the cause of perpetuation of British power in the country. Queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore, the Gond Maharani Kamalapti and Queen Durgawati, etc., were some women rulers, whose names have left an indelible imprint on Indian history for their outstanding rule. Madhya Pradesh came into being on 1 November, 1956. It was reorganised on 1 November 2000 to create a new Chhattisgarh state. The successive state is bound in north by Uttar Pradesh, east by Chhattisgarh, south by Maharashtra, and west by Gujarat and Rajasthan.
