Mogar is a village in Anand district, Gujarat, India, historically associated with the former Mogar jagir. The jagir was held by the Solanki (Chaulukya) Rajput family and formed part of the wider Godhra branch of the Solanki lineage. The village retains a historical association with the Solanki Rajput family. Located near Anand in central Gujarat, Mogar historically formed part of a wider network of Solanki settlements associated with the Godhra branch of the dynasty. According to The Ruling Princes, Chiefs and Leading Personages of Western India (1910), the ruling family of Mogar traced its lineage to the Solanki Rajputs.[1]
Status under Baroda State
[edit]Before Indian independence, Mogar formed part of Baroda State and was recognized as a Thakorat village held by the Solanki Rajput family. The village remained in hereditary possession of the local Solanki chiefs, while sovereign and revenue authority was exercised by the Gaekwad administration through the settlement system of Baroda State.
History
[edit]A historical account of the Mogar branch is contained in History of the Godhra Branch of the Solanki Dynasty (1915), compiled by Kavibhushan Bhaishankarji Vidyaram Pandit under the direction of Maharana Himmatsinhji Raysinhji of Gadh-Gajana.[2] The genealogy traces the branch through a succession of territorial and administrative centres including Thikatoda, Godhra, Bakrol, Pampavati, Napa and Vadod before the establishment of the Mogar branch. It records that Dalkandevji founded Godhra in Vikram Samvat 1110 (1053 CE), while the Mogar branch was established in Vikram Samvat 1774 (1717 CE) by Jagmalji and Jaymalji, sons of Adaybhanji, after the succession of the branch through Vadod.[2]
Later lineage
[edit]The later lineage of the Mogar branch included Natvarsinh Solanki, Thakoresaheb of Mogar, who was active in public life as a politician and social leader. He served in the Bombay Legislative Assembly, the Gujarat Legislative Assembly and later in the Lok Sabha, and was associated with educational and cooperative institutions such as Somnath Kelvani Mandal and Grainfed. [3][4]
His eldest son, Pravinsinh Solanki, continued the family tradition of public service and also served as a Member of Parliament representing Kapadvanj and Anand.
