Abstract

The present-day Ranipet town was founded by Nawab Sadathullah Khan around 1771 in honour of theyoung queen of Desingu. The Nawab pressed Desingu to pay arrears of tribute buthe refusedto pay.Thus the stage was set for the confrontation which ended inthe tragic death of the youthful Raja.The twenty two years old Raja Desingu fought with a rare gallantry that moved his friends and fees alike.Desingu’s wife too gave up her life as a proud Rajput lady would do, to follow her fallen husband.These incidents so moved Sadathullah Khan that he named the present day Ranipet in honour of the queenof Desingu.
