After Independence
After Indian Independence in 1947, the state of Gwalior acceded to the Government of India, and its territory was integrated into the new state of Madhya Bharat. The territory of several feudal estates (Thakurs), including Sirisi, Umri, Raghogarh, Paron, Aron, Miana, Garha, Bajrangarh, and Bahadurpur, were merged into Isagarh District, and it was renamed Guna District. Madhya Bharat state was merged into Madhya Pradesh on November 1, 1956. Guna District was split into the districts of Guna and Ashoknagar on August 15, 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word independence:
“Traditionally in American society, men have been trained for both competition and teamwork through sports, while women have been reared to merge their welfare with that of the family, with fewer opportunities for either independence or other team identifications, and fewer challenges to direct competition. In effect, women have been circumscribed within that unit where the benefit of one is most easily believed to be the benefit of all.”
—Mary Catherine Bateson (b. 1939)
“The Indian’s intercourse with Nature is at least such as admits of the greatest independence of each.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
