Jhala (clan) Jhala is the name of a clan of Rajputs belonging to the Suryavanshi lineage, found mainly in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in India. They are also known as Makwana.
The Jhala claim descent from Harpaldev and Shaktidevi. Harpaldev had nineteen sons, one of whom was MangujiLimbdi and his son is Karansinhji Samla. There main centers are the Dhrangadhra and Surendranagar districts of Gujarat and Jhalawar in Rajasthan. They are also found in Udaipur District of Rajasthan. There were a number of Jhala princely states such as Jhalawar, Labhowa and Wankaner. Some Jhala are also found in Uttar Pradesh.
Princely State of Jhala's
Wankaner (Gujrat)
The ruling family of Wankaner (Gujarat) represents the senior branch of the Jhala clan of Rajputs, who ruled at Halvad. The junior branch retained possession of Dhrangadhra-Halvad, while the senior branch established themselves at Wadhwan and Wankaner. The separation between the two lines occurred when Kumar Shri Prithirajji, the eldest son of Maharana Chandrasinghji of Halvad, died as a hostage at Ahmadabad during his father's lifetime. He left three sons, of whom the eldest should have succeeded to his position as Heir Apparent. However, their paternal uncle, Askaranji seized control of the government during his father's old age. The three nephews fled in fear of their lives and took refuge with their maternal relations at Bhadli. Rajoji and Sartanji, the two younger sons, survived into adulthood and then entered the service of the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar. After distinguishing themselves and earning his support, they set out to recover their patrimony. In this, they were only partially successful, gaining control over Wadhwan, a traditional fief of the Halvad Heir Apparent, but failing to wrest control of Halvad itself. The youngest brother, Sartanji defeat the unruly Babrias and Maiyas and established his control over Wankaner, where he constructed a capital and establish a separate principality.
Sartanji's descendants continued to rule at Wankaner, but retained their ambition to recover Halvad. Consequently, a feud between the two branches of the Jhala clan continued for more than a century. His great grandson, Chandrasinhji I, briefly held Halvad after taking it from the Muslim jagirdar, who had been given that state in jagir in 1678. Unfortunately for him, the Imperial authorities settled their differences with the Halvad ruler and forced Chandrasinhji to give it up in 1680.
Bharoji [Bhavaji], grandson of Chandrasinhji I also briefly held Halvad during the middle of the eighteenth century, but had to let go of his prize. He was also responsible for subduing and controlling the Kathis and Kothis, and for constructing the defensive wall around Wankaner town. His descendants continued the feud for several decades more. The enmity ultimately reached preposterous proportions when the Jhalas went to war over a goat in 1805, during which hundreds were killed. Eventually, these conflicts terminated during the reign of Chandrasinhji II, by the Walker settlement of 1807-1808. Thereafter, the peace afforded by the settlement ensured that the Jhala rulers could concentrate on improving he lot of their subjects. Dhrangadhra is where the king or the Maharaja lives presently and the other states only have Thakore Sahebs. Thus, lastly Dhrangadhra-Halwad was made the capital.
