'''Jhabua State''' was one of the [[princely state]]s of [[India]] during the period of the [[British Raj]]. It had its capital in [[Jhabua]] town. Most of the territory of the princely state was inhabited by the [[Bhil people]], who constituted a majority of the population. The revenue of the state in 1901 was Rs.1,10,000.<ref>https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V08_153.gif</ref>

==History==
The state of Jhabua was founded by Kesho Das or Kishan Das, in 1584. He was granted the title of ''[[Raja]]'' by [[Mughal Empire|Mughal Emperor]] [[Akbar]] as a reward for a successful campaign in [[Bengal]], and for punishing the Bhil Chiefs of Jhabua, who had murdered the wife and daughters of the Imperial Viceroy of [[Gujarat]]. In 1724 Jhabua was captured by Udaji Pawar and was under him till 1726.<ref>Malwa in Transition Or a Century of Anarchy: The First Phase, 1698-1765, published in 1993</ref> Jhabua was later given to the [[Holkar]]s of Indore, however the Holkar Maharaja restored the ruling dynasty and allowed them to rule the mountainous and woody areas, and the right to collect a fourth of the revenue from the districts that were directly conquered by the Holkars. There were 20 families of rank in the state who paid £1500 to the Holkars and £2500 to their own chief. In 1875 the state had a population of 55,000 and a revenue of £22,500.<ref>https://books.google.co.in/books?id=14kIAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA67&dq=jhabua+imperial+gazetteer&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiDgJXFvq3oAhUOdysKHTMVASAQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=jhabua%20imperial%20gazetteer&f=false</ref>

During British rule the state was under the [[Bhopawar Agency]]<ref>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Jhabua |volume=15 |page=411}}</ref> of the [[Central India Agency]] and in 1927 it became part of the [[Malwa Agency]].
After India's independence in 1947, Jhabua's last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 15 June 1948, and Jhabua became part of the newly created [[Madhya Bharat]] state, which in 1956 was merged into Madhya Pradesh.<ref>[http://www.indianrajputs.com/view/Jhabua Jhabua - Princely State]</ref>
===Rulers===
The rulers of Jhabua were Rathor Rajputs. They had the title of H.H. Raja Saheb. They were granted a [[Salute state|hereditary salute of 11 guns]] by the British.<ref>https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V08_153.gif</ref>
