Predecessors and Short
History: Dhrol is a Jadeja State and like
all Jadeja's, those of Dhrol are direct descendents of
Lord Shri Krishna, the Sovereign of Dwarka. The original
founder of the State was Jam Hardholji, son of Jam Lakhoji
of Kutch. Jam Rawal and his three brothers - Hardholji,
Ravoji and Modji moved in about 1535 from Kutch to
Kathiawar, being assisted by his brothers, Jam Rawal
conquered many parganahs from the Deda, Chavda and Jethwa
clans. One Dhamal Chavda who then reigned at Dhamalpur
[Dhrol] obstructed the Jam brothers in their conquests in
one way or another, and in order to remove this
obstruction, Jam Hardholji marched against Dhamal Chavda
and after defeating him, acquired that parganah for
himself in about 1539 and founded a separate State of some
140 villages. Succession is by Primogeniture and also by
adoption. Rulers were...
