સાઠંબા રજવાડાંનો ઈતિહાસ"Sathamba Princely State & Baria Koli Rulers history" sathamba Aravalli

Dive into the untold story of Sathamba, a tiny yet resilient princely state in Gujarat's Aravalli hills, nestled in today's Sathamba taluka of Aravalli district. Once a 470 sq km stronghold with 5,360 souls (per 1892 British records), Sathamba was ruled by the fierce Baria Koli Thakores—descendants of seafaring warriors turned land barons under the Mahi Kantha Agency.
From pirate origins on Gujarat's coasts (defeated by Gohil rulers in 1325) to forging alliances with the British Raj, discover how these Koli chieftains minted their own rupees, built forts against Maratha raids, and modernized with schools and co-ops by the 20th century. Key rulers like Thakore Ajabsinhji (1867–1895), Ratanasinhji (1918–1941), and the last Thakore Sursinhji (who acceded to India in 1948) navigated colonial tribute, famines, and freedom's dawn.
Sourced from British Gazetteers (Imperial Gazetteer of India, Vol. 23; Bombay Gazetteer, Vol. A), Archive.org scans, and Koli clan lore. Why did these 'tribal Rajputs' fade into obscurity? Watch for maps, rare photos, and Aravalli's rugged legacy!
