History
An independent Princely State in present day Madhya Pradesh, it came into existence on 13th October 1656/7 in a division of territories granted to Rao Ratan Singh of Ratlam by Padshah Shahjehan of Delhi. This division was carried out by Ratan Singhji himself prior to the fateful battle of Dharmat (Fatehabad) in 1658. Each of his sons were granted a territory independent of the other. With the degeneration of the Mughal Empire, Multhan became de facto independent, and at the time of the advent of the British, the Multhan rulers were styled as Raja. The treaties signed under the aegis of Sir John Malcolm, the Multhan rulers were styled as such and as such were recognized by the British Government. The rulers of this Princely State share an agnatic descent with Ratlam, Kacchi-Baroda and Sailana, which is the younger branch of Ratlam State. Multhan has one Thikana under it by name of Sandla with Sisodia Thakurs as its Jagirdars. The title of the ruler of Multhan is Raja, and for male members of the family it is Maharaj..[1]
During British Raj, the State consisted of 54 villages in the Badnawar pargana. The chief, Maharaj Bharat Singh ji , who was born in 1893 and succeeded on adoption in 1901, was the second son of H.H. Raja Sir Jashwant Singh II of Sailana State.[2] The residence of the chief is the town of Multhan, situated on the Ratlam river, on the Dhar road 5 miles from Badnawar and 26 miles from Dhar city. Area 256 square miles. Population was 11,804 in 1931.[citation needed]
