Malpur State (Template:Lang-gu; Template:Lang-hi) was a small princely state belonging to the Mahi Kantha Agency of the Bombay Presidency during the era of the British Raj.[1] It was centered on Malpur town, in present-day Aravalli district of Gujarat State.
History
Malpur State was founded in 1466, but little is known about its early history. The state was ruled by the Rathore dynasty of Rajputs.[2] Rawal Virajmal, son of Rao Kiratsinghji of Idar State, was succeeded on 12 April 1882 by his son Rawal Dipsinhji Sheosinhji, born in 1863.
Malpur State was merged with Baroda State under the Attachment Scheme in December 1943.[3] The last ruler was Rawal Shri Gambhirsinhji Himatsinhji, born 27 October 1914 and who acceded to the throne in 23 June 1923.[4] He was educated at Scott College, Sadra and Mayo College, Ajmer and nominally ruled till 1947 while the process for joining India was active. Finally Baroda State acceded to the Indian Union on 1 May 1949.
