Kutch

Kutch was a Jadeja Rajput state on the peninsula north of the Gulf of Kutch, with its senior line based at Lakhiyarvira. In 1337 Mulvaji Jadeja ruled the family lands.

In 1410 Gujarat's Muzaffar Shah I defeated Kanthkot, and Kutch paid tribute while retaining self-rule. In 1472 Mahmud Begada crossed the Rann and scattered its army at Thar. Khengarji I recovered and united Kutch in 1549 after Jam Rawal seized it; Jam Rawal fled to Saurashtra. Kutch became a British protectorate in 1819.
