History

This State Founded in the mid-15th century by Chaudhary Ram Singh, a member of the Chokar family of Hindu Gurjars, the state remained under the rule of this dynasty until its eventual annexation.^[3][4] In 1548, two prominent Chhokar Goojur (Gurjar) chieftains, Phoda Singh and Lal Karan, from the Titron region in Saharanpur district, crossed the Sivalik hills, conquered the entire Dehradun area, and established the Timli state. They also founded a town named Timli.^[5][6] Bhagwan Singh was the majestic king of the Chhokar family of Timli. He had the status of a magistrate and he used to fix the prices of agricultural products of north india^[7] When the British Raj entered this area under the Arazi-i-Bandobasti land settlement, they took control of the area around Dehradun, while the rest of the state remained under local rule. By 1830, Bhagwan Singh was the king of Timli state. His only descendant, a daughter named Satyaditi, became the ruler after him.^{[8][9][10][11]}
