PREDECESSORS and SHORT
HISTORY:Subject
to the Rulers of Bijapur and Golconda and then the territory of the old
family estate of Anegundi was early in the eighteenth century held by
the
Rayas from the Mogul emperor of Delhi as a tributary state. In 1749 it
was seized by the Mahrattas, and in 1775 it was reduced by Haidar Ali
of
Mysore, but continued to exist as a tributary quasi-independent state
till
the time of Tipu (Tippoo Sultan). Tipu, who never suffered from an
excess
of compunction or compassion when his own interests were at stake,
annexed
the estate bodily to his dominions in 1786. Thirteen years later he was
killed at Seringapatam, and in the settlement that followed, the little
territory was made over to the Nizam of Hyderabad, the English
Government
retaining all lands on their side of the Tungabhadra. Partly in
compensation
for this loss of land, the Government has till very recently paid an
annual
pension to the head of the Anegundi family. This was abolished in 1889
as no legal heir could be determined. In 1902 the allowance was set at
6,000Rs. Predecessors and Rulers were....
