THE CHAUBE JAGIRS
(Bundelkhand Agency and Baghelkhand Agency)
The Chaube Jagirs were originally a collection of seven states which were each granted a sanad confirming them in their possessions. Purwa was confiscated in 1855 and its villages dispersed amongst the other jagirs, likewise in 1864 when Nayagaon lapsed due to failure of heirs. Its villages were also divided amongst the remaining Chaube Jagirdars. They acceded to the new state of Madhya Pradesh at the time of Independence.
