Sant State (Hindi संत), also known as Sant-Rampur State was one of the Rajput princely states of western India before and a salute state during the colonial British Raj.
The state was founded in 1255 and named after its founder. It had its capital in Santrampur (Sant-Rampur). It was granted a Hereditary 9 gun salute and belonged to the Rewa Kantha Agency of the Bombay Presidency. It covered 1,020 Square Kilometers.
In 1913, the state was rocked by an adivasi (Bhil) uprising led by Govind Giri. Its last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 10 June 1948, by which it ceased to exist, merging into Gujarat, and was assigned a Privy purse of 112,000 Rupees.
The rulers of Sant belonged to the Powar or Parmar Rajput dynasty, believed to have originated in Ujjain. The founder of the family was an individual named Sant, who established himself at Sunth in about the 13th century. The rulers of the state were styled Rana (equivalent to Raja from ca 1870 onward.
The line is nominally continued.
