History of Princely State of Sachodar The princely state of Sachodar was claimed by more than one native prince who were formally addressed as shareholders. There were many shareholders, including bhagdars and talukdars, in the native state. The shareholders of the state were rather impoverished and lacked adequate education. The rule of male primogeniture, through which the first born or eldest child of the same parents inherited the entire estate of one or both parents, to the exclusion of all others, was followed in the succession of the throne or gadi of Nangam state. Administration of Princely State of Sachodar The Princely State of Sachodar was under the administrative control of the Baroda Agency, which was a sub division of the Western India States Agency. Later the territory was merged with the state of Gujarat. Sachodar state was also incorporated as a part of the Sabar Kantha Agency and Bawishi Thana state. The territory was primarily a non jurisdictionary princely state and the Political Agent, also known as Resident of British India, supervised the relations of the native ruler and the state with the British administration and other Indian princely states. The taluka was divided between the princely state of Khedawada and the princely state of Derol after the year 1940. The Thandar of Bawishi Thana exercised jurisdictional authority, which was reverted to them after the partition. According to the Attachment Scheme of 1943, the princely state of Sachodar was attached to the princely state of Baroda. Accession of Princely State of Sachodar After the nation gained freedom from the political supremacy of the British Government of India on 15th August 1947, British India was partitioned between India and Pakistan. The native rulers of the princely states of India were given the option of acceding to either the Union of India or the Dominion of Pakistan. The native shareholders of the princely state of Sachodar decided to accede his state to the newly formed Union of India. At present, the region is incorporated as a part of the Indian state in Gujarat state. |
