Note: The city of Burhanpur as it is known today has a long and distinguished history dating back to the foundation of the city by Nasir Khan in CE 1399, its annexation by Akbar in 1601, and its long service as the capital of the Deccan under Aurangzeb. It was Sambhaji, a Maratha ruler who ended the rule of the Mughals here. It was seized by Major General Arthur Wellesley in 1803 from the Peshwas. Sindhias regained control of the land in 1805, and it was finally ceded to the British in 1861. Burhanpur was later separated from Nimar district and declared a separate district. Therefore, it is clear that the letter described above was dispatched during the reign of the Sindhias. Burhanpur and Indore are only 181 kilometers apart.
