Kutch (Cutch) |
|
|
|
|
Kutch is a district on
the coastal portion of the India/Pakistan frontier, to a large
extent involving an extensive salt-flats (the Great Rann of Kutch)
adjacent to the Gulf of Kutch, an arm of the Arabian Sea extending
toward Gujarat. At the time of Alexander's invasion (4th century
BCE) the Rann was a shallow but navigable lake, but subsequent
centuries of silting have made a mud flat of it, and settlement
within the Rann is limited to what hills are present. The Royal
House of Cutch (or Kutch) belongs to the Jadeja clan of Rajputs. The
founder of the family, prince Lakho, had been adopted by his uncle,
a Samma chieftain named Jada. Leaving Sind, after the birth of a
natural son to this adopted father, Lakho migrated to the marshlands
of western Gujarat. There, with the help of his twin brother Lakhiar,
he established his principality in 1147. Maharao Khengarji, the head
of the Jadeja clan, consolidated his territories in 1549 and
established his capital at Bhuj. Area: 21,365 km2. |

- In Vikram Samvat 683, present day Egypt was
called Misr. One of the states in Misr was Sonitpur, which was ruled by
Jam Devendra Sama. His forefathers were given the title of 'Jam' by the
emperor of Iran. In that year Shonitpur was attacked by Omar Khalifa,
and King Devendra was defeated in that battle of Sonitpur. Omar Khalifa
offered the eldest son Aspat of Devendra the throne of Sonitpur with the
condition that Aspat will have to convert to Islam. Aspat converted to
Islam and became king of Sonitpur, however his three brothers Gajpat,
Narpat and Bhupat refused to convert and they migrated to present day
Afghanistan. They captured Gazni by defeating King Firozshah and Jam
Narpat was made King of Gazni. He ruled a major part of Afaghanistan
from Gazni for 18 years. After that in a war with Badshah of Kabul, he
was defeated and he became a Martyr. His son Samaji migrated to present
day Sindh in Pakistan. They were all called "Sama" Rajputs at that time.
The Kings of Sama Rajputs were called Jam, since then many generations
of Samma Dynasty Rajputs ruled Sindh. Their capital was "Sama Nagar" or
Nagar Thaththa which is about 100 km from Karachi.
- CHAVADA RAJPUT
- Jado
(1st Jam)
- The dominant races in
Kutch previous to the 9th century of Christian era were the Chavda,
Kathees and Waghela, they ruled the western, central and the eastern
parts of Kutch respectively. The reigning Prince of Nagar Thatta in
Sindh towards the end of 8th century AD was Lakho Ghuraro. He had eight
sons by two wives, the eldest son being Unad from the first wife and the
other being Mod by a wife from Chawda tribe. As Unad was the eldest, he
succeeded the throne by virtue of his primogeniture. Shortly afterwards
brothers Mod and Manai started planning against the life of Unad in
order to usurp his throne. However they did not succeed and found it
necessary to go into exile with their followers to Kutch where they had
maternal relations with the Chawda tribe. This was the first
historically noted foray of Samma Rajputs of Sind in Kutch.After arrival
in Kutch, Mod had a dispute with his maternal Uncle Chawda Whagum, The
ruler of Eastern Kutch, and was killed by Mod, thereafter, Mod assumed
the sovereignty of the province. There is no concrete information
available for the period that followed except the names of the rulers up
to five generations. They were Jam Mod, Jam Saad, Jam Phool, Jam Lakho
Phoolani and Jam Pooeronjee. It is important to note here that Lakho
Phoolani is the most revered and cherished warrior in the history of
Kutch and Saurashtra. Jam Pooeronjee was a very cruel ruler and created
despair and apathy among his dominion until he was killed by Jakhs.
During this time the direct descendents of Jam Unad in Nagar Thatta
Sindh was Jam Jada, as he did not have any legitimate heir to the throne
he adopted his brothers son Lakho, however, after adopting Lakho, Jam
Jadas wife gave birth to a child named Ghao, As Jam Jada had already
adopted lakho, he decided to divide his dominion equally among both his
legitimate son Ghao and adopted son Lakho, however after the demise of
Jam Jada, Ghao refused to give any share to Lakho and was forced to
leave Sindh with his twin brother Lakhiar and well wishers. Lakho and
Lakhiar ventured into Kutch and slowly regained the territories in
control of Chavdas, as Lakhiar was childless, Lakho named his territory
after his brother and called it Lakhiarviro. Lakho was adopted by Jam
Jada, the descendants of this Lakho Jadani were called Jadejas. The name
Jadeja means "Belonging to Jada" in the Sindhi and Kutchi language and
is pronounced as "Jaa day jaa.
- Lakho Jadani...............................................1147
- 1175
- Jam Lakho Jadani is attributed to the surname
Jadeja being adopted for all his descendants. Lakho Jadani reigned in
Kutch between AD 1147–1175 and had one heir to the gaddi (throne), Jam
Rato Raydhan.
- Ratto Rayadhan.............................................1175
- 1215
- Ratto means Red in Kutchi and he was so called
because he used to tie a red cloth across his turban to prevent it from
dislodging during battles. Jam Ratto Raydhan had four sons namely, Jam
Othaji, Dedaji, Hothiji and Gajanji and they were given the territories
of Lakhirviro, Kanthkot, Gajod and Bara respectively in Kutch.
- Othoji.....................................................1215
- 1255
- As Othaji was the eldest he ascended to the
throne and the rest became a part of Bhayyat or the Brotherhood. Bhayyat
is the term used for all the descendants of the royal family who own and
control their own domains allocated to them within the state and adhere
to the feudal system.

- Over the years, there were constant skirmishes
due to jealousy that marred within these houses, until they merged in
two groups of Othaji and Gajanji. The first incident among these which
changed the history of Kutch is the murder of Jam Hamirji of Lakhiarviro,
chief of eldest branch of Jadeja and descendant of Othaji, by Jam Rawal
of Bara. It is believed that Jam Rawal attributed the murder of his
father Jam Lakhaji to Hamirji, as he was killed within the territory of
Lakhiarviro, and on the pretense of resolving the dispute between the
two branches, took a fake oath of Ashapura Mataji, the supreme deity of
Jadejas, invited Hamirji for a meal and killed him by deceit. During
this time Alioji and Khengarji, two sons of Hamirji were in Ahmedabad
and escaped the complete destruction of the royal family perpetuated by
Jam Rawal, thereafter Jam Rawal usurped the throne of Kutch and reigned
with supreme authority. Khengarji was 15 years old when his father was
murdered, he enlisted in to the army of Mahmud Begada, during one Royal
Hunting party, Khengar killed a lion and saved the life of Sultan for
which he was asked to name his reward, the prime ambition of Khengar was
to regain Kutch and hence he asked for support to fight Jam Rawal,
whereby, he was given 1000 soldiers and complete access to Morvi and
given a title of Rao by the sultan Mohamad of Ahmedabad. Rao Khengar
with the support of well wishers within Kutch and Morvi fought with Jam
Rawal and slowly started gaining the territories of Rapar and nearby
villages, as Khengar was the rightful heir to the throne he was welcomed
and dissent towards Jam Rawal grew within the state of Kutch. Jam Rawal
was ardent devotee of Maa Ashapura, it is believed that the Goddess
indicated Jam Rawal to leave Kutch and establish himself at Halar (Saurashtra),
and that she will support him in this venture. Jam Rawal set out for
Saurashtra and established himself at Nawanagar. Khengar became the 1st
Rao of Kutch in AD 1549 and established
Bhuj as Capital.

illegitimate son, the Bhayyat instated Tamachiji who was the second son
of Rao Khengarjis brother.

- Kutch Chief Commissioners
- Chhotalal Khovshaldan
Desai........................01 Jun 1948 - 1952
-
Upon the independence of India in 1947, Kachchh
(Kutch)
acceded unto the dominion of India and was constituted an independent
commissionaire. It was created a province in 1948. Upon the
Constitution of India coming into force on 26 January 1950, Kutch became a
"Class C" state, i.e. its administration was under the direct control of
India's central government with a Chief Commissioner. Its capital was Bhuj.
- Sambhajirao Appasaheb Ghatge..............................1952
- 30 Oct 1956
-
On 01 November 1956, Kachchh State was merged with
Bombay state, under the
States Reorganization Act. On 01 May 1960, it was
divided into the new linguistic states of Gujarat and Maharashtra, with Kachchh becoming a district as part of Gujarat state.
|
|
On the Partition of India in 1947, the province of
Sindh, including the port of Karachi, became part of Pakistan. The Indian
Government constructed a modern port at Kandla in Kutch to serve as a port
for western India in lieu of Karachi. There was a dispute over the Kutch
region with Pakistan on Sir Creek. In 1965, Pakistan claimed
3,500 sq mi (9,100 km2) of the land and an international tribunal was set
up. It awarded 350 sq mi (910 km2) of the claimed land to Pakistan, the rest
remaining with India. |
Kutch district (also spelled as Kachchh) is a district
of Gujarat state in western India. Covering an area of 45,652 km², it is the
largest district of India. Kachchh literally means something which
intermittently becomes wet and dry; a large part of this district is known
as Rann of Kachchh which is shallow wetland which submerges in water during
the rainy season and becomes dry during other seasons. The same word is also
used in the languages of Sanskrit origin for a tortoise and garments to be
worn while having a bath. The Rann is famous for its marshy salt flats which
become snow white after the shallow water dries up each season before the
monsoon rains. |
