Khandwa, India History
Khandwa district was surrendered by the Marathas to the British Raj in 1818, and later became part of the Central Provinces and Berar. The area to the west, which forms the present Khargone district, was part of the princely state of Indore. After India's independence in 1947, the Central Provinces and Berar became the new Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
Khandwa District was known as Nimar District before 1956, when the state of Madhya Bharat to the west was merged with the state of Madhya Pradesh. The present-day Khargone District of Madhya Bharat was also called Nimar, so the districts were renamed West and East Nimar. Khandwa was known as East Nimar until recently. Burhanpur District was separated from Khandwa District on August 15, 2003. Khandwa District is part of Indore Division. Tabish.In Main Cities is Mundi,Harsud,Pandhana,Omkareshwer
