Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:

My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''Khanderao Holkar''' ( 23 November 1723 – 1754 CE) was the only son of [[Malhar Rao Holkar]], the founder of the [[Holkar]] dynasty of [[Indore]], and Gautama Bai. He was the husband of [[Ahilyabai Holkar]]. He served as a Maratha Sardar and fought several campaigns on behest of the Maratha empire.

==Life==
Khanderao Holkar was born on 23 November 1723 . He was a very courageous and brave warrior though hot-tempered and arrogant. He was married to [[Ahilyabai Holkar]] in 1733. Khanderao was very respectful and caring towards Ahliyabai. She gradually turned Khanderao’s thinking and mended his stubborn nature by repeating her statecraft and training lessons. She used to tell Khanderao stories from the epics, to motivate him to do his duty faithfully. Khanderao had a good understanding of Jat and Rajput politics. Malharrao had assigned him many independent duties of settling political feuds, which occasionally arose.<ref>((cite web |last1=Sonwani |first1=Sanjay |title=The Unsung Hero of India Maharaja Yashwantrao Holkar |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/347506482_The_Unsung_Hero_of_India_Maharaja_Yashwantrao_Holkar |website=ResearchGate |access-date=10 Jan 2023))</ref> Khanderao had one son, [[Male Rao Holkar|Malerao]], and a daughter, Muktabai with Ahilyabai. He was martyred at 31 in 1754 during the Battle of Kumher.

==Military Campaigns==
Khanderao Holkar participated in many wars. He has fought nearly 10 battles in the 30 years of his life. 

During 1735-1737, Khanderao accompanied his father and [[Baji Rao I]] in the North India expedition. In 1737, during the war between Nizam and Marathas Khanderao Holkar showed tremendous performance and won the victory over the Nizam. The same year in [[Malwa]], the Mughals looted the Kamavisdar of [[Shajapur]] and burnt the settlement. In retaliation, Khanderao Holkar killed Mirmani Khan. 

In 1739, Khanderao fought against the Portuguese. Khanderao, along with Santaji Wagh, laid siege to the fort of Tarapur. The fort was successfully captured by the Marathas.

In 1742, Khanderao played a key role in the signing of the treaty between Raja Ishvari Singh and Raja Madho Singh. 

Khanderao Holkar also took part in the war of Deoli and Bagru in 1747 and 1748 respectively. 

In 1750, Khanderao Holkar led campaigns against the Mughals, Rohilas, and Jats. He completed those campaigns successfully.<ref>((cite web |last1=Holkar |first1=Madhusudan Rao |title=Khande Rao Holkar ki 267 vi Punytithi (17 March ) |url=https://historyofbharat.com/khande-rao-holkar-ki-276-vi-punytithi-17-march/ |website=historyofbharat.com))</ref>

In 1754, when Suraj Mal was the king, the fort came under siege by Marathas, as Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao's younger brother Raghunathrao (Supported by Scindias and Holkars) wanted to be subservient to them. However, the siege did not succeed. In 1754, at the behest of Mughal Emperor Alamgir II, Khanderao laid the siege of Kumher fort of Suraj Mal of Bharatpur, who had sided with Alamgir II's adversary Siraj ud-Daulah. Khanderao Holkar, son of Malhar Rao Holkar, was inspecting his troops on an open palanquin in the battle of Kumbher when he was hit and killed by a cannonball from the Jat army. Marathas (particularly Holkars) wanted to ensue revenge on Suraj Mal for breaking the rules of ancient war and attacking. The Marathas (Holkars) though were unable to capture Suraj Mal, as ordered otherwise by the Peshwa.

==Battle and Death==
((See|Battle of Kumher))

Marathas besiege the Jat fort of Kumher in 1754. They were on the verge of capturing it,<ref>((cite web |title=Kingdoms of South Asia |url=https://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsFarEast/IndiaJats.htm |website=The History Files))</ref> just then Khanderao was treacherously killed by a cannonball fired by the Jatt artillery hit him while inspecting his troops in an open palanquin in the battle of [[Kumher]]. After this Jats request the intermediation of Diwan Roop Ram Katara, who is on good terms with Jayappa Scindia. The Scindia ruler of Gwalior uses his influence over Raghunathrao, brother of the Peshwa, to pressure the commander of the Maratha forces, Malharrao Holkar, into accepting a treaty with the Jats, which he does in 1754.
In Khanderao's honor, Jat Maharaja Suraj Mal built a [[chattri]] at Kumher near [[Deeg]]. After his death in 1754, his father Malhar Rao prevented Khanderao's wife Ahilya Bai from committing Sati.<ref name="kr2">((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1YSU9Qp9w0MC&dq=khande+rao+Holkar+kumbher&pg=PA184|title=Images of Women in Maharashtrian Literature and Religion|editor=[[Anne Feldhaus]]|pages=185–186|date=21 March 1996|publisher=[[State University of New York]]|isbn=9780791428382))</ref> The Maratha army under Raghunath Rao continued the [[Battle of Kumher]] after Khanderao's death and were successful in extracting 2.3 crores as war reparations from Surajmal, only after a bond was signed for this payment, was the siege lifted.<ref name=JP>((Cite book|first=Jadunath|last=Sarkar|title=Fall of the Mughal Empire:vol one|publisher=Orient Black Swan|year=2007|pages=326|url=|quote=Surajmal, too, professed the deepest sorrow for this issue of war and sent mourning robes for Malhar and Khande's son....the siege of Kumher dragged on for four months. At last in the middle of may, peace was made, Rupram, on behalf of his master, gave a written bond to pay the Marathas 30 lakhs by installments in three years. In addition to this, the two krores which had been previously imposed by Imad as peshkash due from the Jat rajah to the emperor, was now agreed to be paid to Imad and the Marathas instead. So the siege ended, Imad left the place on 18th May and Raghunath Rao on the 22nd, and both came to Mathura.))</ref> Malhar Rao died in 1766, 12 years after the death of his son Khanderao.
