Bhopal

Dost Mohammed Khan appears, indeed, to have been not the only adventurer who bettered his fortunes in Bhopal.

The city of Bhopal, a railway station, had a population in 1901 of 76,561.

It sustained several sieges during the 18th century, and passed alternately into the hands of the Bhopal and Nagpur rulers.

Since then Bhopal has been steadily loyal to the British government, and during the Mutiny it rendered good services.

The residence of the political agent and the headquarters of the Bhopal battalion are at Sehore, 20 m. west of Bhopal city.
