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.
