Rak.[1] in India (mainly in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand[2]) during the Middle Ages and British rule, including Surguja State and Udaipur.[3][4][5] Jaipur (kuchhwaah) Rajput Raja Man Singh was ruling Palamu prior to the rule of the Chero dynasty.[6][7]

According to Nagvanshavali, the Raksel of Surgujawere gonds Chotanagpur with 12000 cavalry, but Nagvanshi king Bhim Karn defeated them and conquered the territory of Palamu upto Barwe.[1]

A Chero chief of Shahabad, Bhagwant Rai, took service under the Raksel Rajput chief Man Singh of Palamu. Bhagwant Rai assassinated Man Singh, taking advantage of the local Raja's absence at a ceremony at Surguja to raise the standard of revolt[8] and founded his own kingdom around 1572.[9][8]
