Ahmednagar was besieged by a British force under Richard Wellesley and captured. In 1759, the Peshwa of the Marathas obtained possession of the place from Nizam of Hyderabad and in 1795 it was ceded by the Peshwa to the Maratha chief Daulat Rao Sindhia. Aurangzeb, the last Mughal emperor, who spent the latter years of his reign, 1681–1707, in the Deccan, died in Ahmednagar and is buried at Khuldabad, near Aurangabad in 1707, with a small monument marking the site. It was one of the Deccan sultanates, which lasted until its conquest by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1636. With the breakup of the Bahmani Sultanate, Ahmad established a new sultanate in Ahmednagar, also known as Nizam Shahi dynasty. The town Ahmednagar was founded in 1490 by Ahmad Nizam Shah I on the site of a more ancient city, Bhingar. Ahmednagar has recently published a plan of developing the city by year 2031. Marathi is the primary language for daily-life communication. Due to scarce rainfall, Ahmednagar often suffers from drought. Ahmednagar is home to 19 sugar factories and is also the birthplace of the cooperative movement. Īhmednagar is a relatively small town and shows less development than the nearby western Maharashtra cities of Mumbai and Pune. Training and recruitment for the Indian Army Armoured Corps takes place at the ACC&S.
Ahmednagar is home to the Indian Armoured Corps Centre & School (ACC&S), the Mechanised Infantry Regimental Centre (MIRC), the Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE) and the Controllerate of Quality Assurance Vehicles (CQAV). During his confinement by the British at Ahmednagar Fort in 1944, Nehru wrote the famous book The Discovery of India. A few rooms there have been converted to a museum.
Ahmednagar Fort, once considered almost impregnable, was used by the British to house Jawaharlal Nehru (the first prime minister of India) and other Indian Nationalists before Indian independence. Īhmednagar has several dozen buildings and sites from the Nizam Shahi period.
It was close to the site of the village of Bhingar. Ahmednagar takes its name from Ahmad Nizam Shah I, who founded the town in 1494 on the site of a battlefield where he won a battle against superior Bahamani forces.
