Jagdishpur (previously called Islamnagar) is a panchayat village in the Bhopal district of Madhya Pradesh, India.[1] It is located in the Huzur tehsil and the Phanda block.[2]
Formerly a fortified city, Islamnagar was the capital of the Bhopal princely state for a brief period. The ruins of the palaces built by Bhopal's founder Dost Mohammad Khan still exist at the site.
Originally known as Jagadishpur, the place was founded by the local Rajput chieftains. In the early 18th century, the place was captured and renamed to Islamnagar ("city of Islam") by Dost Mohammad Khan, the founder of the Bhopal princely state. Islamnagar was the original capital of the Dost Mohammad Khan's state.
In 1723, Dost Mohammad Khan had to surrender the Islamnagar fort to Nizam-ul-Mulk after a brief siege.[3] Khan was reduced to the position of a kiledar (fort commander) under the Nizam after a peace treaty. In year 1727 he shifted his capital to Bhopal. The Scindias controlled the Islamnagar fort from 1806 to 1817, when it was restored to Bhopal following a treaty.[4]
Several members of the royal family of Bhopal, including Shah Jahan Begum, were born in Islamnagar.
In February 2023, the Government of Madhya Pradesh officially renamed the village as Jagdishpur.[5]
