The Origins of the Gaekwad Dynasty

The Gaekwad rule in Baroda began in 1721 when Maratha general Pilaji Rao Gaekwad took the city from the Mughal Empire. Chhatrapati Shahu I of the Maratha Empire rewarded his family by granting Baroda as a jagir. After the Maratha defeat in the Battle of Panipat in 1761, several Maratha clans, including the Gaekwads, became nearly independent rulers. In 1802, the Maharajas of Baroda signed the Treaty of Cambay with the British, gaining local autonomy while recognizing British sovereignty, securing their rule until Indian independence in 1947.
