The Princely State of Agar was an Indian native state during the rule of the
British Empire in India. During the early 19th century, the region was appointed
as one of the princely states of India under the indirect rule of the British
administration. The region was scattered over a total area of 17 sq miles and
comprised of a total population of 3,984 in the year 1941. The territory of Agar
was one of the 27 states which formed up the Sankheda Mehvassi, located on the
banks of the Narbada (Narmada) River, in eastern Gujarat. The region included
several villages and was incorporated as a part of the former Rewa Kantha
Agency. Most of the villages incorporated in the territory of the state of Agar
were in a compact area, bounded by the princely state of Vajiria in the west; by
Jiral Kamsoli and Vasan Virpur in the south; and by the region of Vanmala in the
west and the north. The village of Shahpura was surrounded by Vanmala and Vora
in the south and by the princely state of Baroda on the other three sides.
The Princely State of Agar was incorporated as a part of the Baroda
Agency, which was a subdivision of Western India States Agency. Later the region
became a part of the Indian state of Gujarat.
History of Princely
State of Agar
The Chauhan Rajputs were the original rulers of the state of Agar. The native
rulers of the erstwhile princely state originally belonged to the Chouhan class
of Rajputs. Later embraced the Islamic religion, but still they retained several
Hindu customs. They were bhayats of Agar and the succession of the throne was
governed by the rule of male primogeniture. Although the princely state of Agar
was amongst the largest of the Sankheda states, the region was reduced to a
great extent by the allotment to Sindhiapura and Vanmala. Further more, a number
of villages were mortgaged to the chief of Virpur.
The Princely State of
Agar was jurisdictionary native state of the sixth class, before the abolition
of the class system in the year 1928. The courts of the state exercised very
limited criminal and civil jurisdictional authority. The native ruler of Agar,
who held the title of Thakor, was granted jurisdictional authority in the year
1931. The Thakor supervised the administration of the territory and the
decisions of the native prince were final and non-appealable. Agar state paid
annual tribute to Baroda. According to the Attachment Scheme of 1943, the
princely state of Agar was attached to Baroda. The native chiefs who exercised
jurisdictional powers were formally addressed as Meherban.
