History
Wadhwan State was established in 1630 by Thakore Saheb Rajoji, the grandson of Maharana Raj Saheb Chandra Singhji I of Jhalavad. Rajoji's grandson was Madhav Singh, the ancestor of Zalim Singh Jhala. Madhav Singh went to Hadoti, but his two sons, Arjan Singh and Abhey Singh, returned to Wadhwan.[4] Arjan Singh then became the Thakore Saheb of Wadhwan, while Abhey Singh ruled over Chuda State.[5]. It became a British protectorate in 1807. The rulers of the state bore the title "Thakur Sahib".[6][1]
