PREDECESSORS AND SHORT
HISTORY:
Namli is situated in the Malwa plateau region of Madhya
Pradesh. The
Namli
Garh is built on an artificial mound, held together by
fortified walls.
Namli is said to get it’s name from a saint, Naamliya
Baba. He had an
ashram
here. He preached the spirituality of “Naad – Braham” the
Yoga of
sound,
mentioned in the Upanishads. This village’s name appears
in the history
of the Ratlam Rajas, when they came from Marwad. Namli was
first given
to the Sanchora Chauhans of Panched, later Raja Mansingh
of Ratlam gave
it to the Songara Chauhan – Bhopat Sinhji, who fought for
him. The
Songaras
of Namli who fought and lost their family members in
battle were given
Jagirs and made Thakurs in 1783. Kishor Sinhji was given
Kandarwasa and
others were given Jhar, Sandala, Arjala, Umran, Nalkoi,
Jarkhedi and
Pipal
Khunta, the village of Bajeda and Bhadwasa to Namli. They
