On November 1, 1956, Madhya Bharat, together with the states of Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal, was merged into Madhya Pradesh.
The Madhya Bharat plateau lies in central India, lying under most of northwestern Madhya Pradesh state and Central Rajasthan. It is bounded by the Indo-Gangetic plain to the north, the Bundelkhand upland to the east, the Malwa plateau to the south, and the East Rajasthan Uplands on the west.
MadhyaBharat is a former state in west-central India.
MadhyaBharat was created in 1950 from 25 former princely states, which were formerly part of the British Raj's Central India Agency.
It was bordered by the states of Bombay (presently Gujarat and Maharashtra) to the southwest, Rajasthan to the northeast, Uttar Pradesh to the north, Uttar Pradesh and Vindhya Pradesh to the east, and Bhopal and Madhya Pradesh to the southeast.
Northern Madhya Pradesh was conquered by the Muslim Delhi Sultanate in the 13th century.
Madhya Pradesh was created in 1950 from the former British Central Provinces and Berar and the princely states of Makrai and Chhattisgarh, with Nagpur as the capital of the state.
In 1956, the states of MadhyaBharat, Vindhya Pradesh, and Bhopal were merged into Madhya Pradesh, and the Marathi-speaking southern region Vidarbha, which included Nagpur, was ceded to Bombay state.
