HISTORY OF RAJPUT BHILALA IN BARWANI

The Badwani state was established around 13th Century and over time

this small state with its barren soil and hilly surface escaped the notice of the Mughals, Marathas and the British agents. Although there is no

known account about Badwani dynasty, what is known, is that Sisodia

Rajputs from Udaipur were the rulers of the state (Shrivastav 1970).        As a result of the Muslim invasion of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Malwa that occurred around 1200 AD, many Rajput warriors fled and came to settle in the Narmada Valley. Bhils  who had ruled this entire region till the eleventh century came to be gradually displaced, and could retain their rule only in the hills of Vindhyas and Satpura. The Rajput take-over reached its great heights in the fifteenth century. In order to establish their control on land, the Sisodia rulers hired Bhil warriors for their army And thus, the local Bhil  came under the protection and patronage  of Sisodia  rulers. Many of these Rajput rulers from Barwani,jobat,Alirajpor and Jabua belongs to Sisodia,Rathore,Chouhan,parmar and solanki clan      

 married Bhil women and the result of the union is said to be the origin of Bhilala.This bhilalas are pure blood of rajpoot. 90% bhilalas were counted as Rajput in central india census 1881.   

HISTORY OF BHILALA RAJPUT

In the year 1165, a Rajput of the Chauhan dynasty, Singh Prithviraj, came from

Rajasthan to conquer Omkareshvara-Mandhata. It pushed back in parallel the conquests

of the Muslim Muhammadan troops coming from the north. He captured the city, hitherto

under the authority of its governor, Nathu Bhil, probably while marrying his daughter.

The descendants of this marriage exogamy, between a Rajput prince (of the  kshatria*

caste) and a Bhil princess (adivasi), formed the local caste of Bhilalas. The descendants

of Nathu Bhil and Rajput Chauhan are now the heirs and the curators of the city-temple

on the island of Mandhata. Today, they are always present and are called ―Rajah‖ by

custom, whereas their rank and their official title is that of  ―Bhilala Rao Sahib of

Mandhata.‖

Since 1296, the Muslim conquerors tried to take the Rajput city of Omkareshvara

and the other cities of East-Nimar on their way towards the south of India. But the

Chauhan Rajputs of Rajasthan supported the local kingdoms and protected the area from

Muslim influence. In other battles, the Rajput troops fought with the gond kings (ethnic

group of the Gonds), populating the east of the valley (Russel, 1997).
