The Gohils claim to be descended from the celebrated Pandavas, who belonged to the lunar or Chandravanshi race, and so trace their line from the celebrated Shalivahan, founder of the Shaka era (Col. James Tod makes them of the solar race). The old family title of Rawal or Raol was earned at the memorable battle of Chitor, fought with Alauddin Khilji in 1303. The state motto is "Man Proposes but God disposes" on a label azure. The state arms are Gules, an eagle or displayed, in chief on a canton of the second, a lion statant of the first. </p><p>In 1722–1723, forces led by Khanthaji Kadani and <a href="/wiki/Pilaji_Gaekwad" class="mw-redirect" title="Pilaji Gaekwad">Pilaji Gaekwad</a> attempted to raid <a href="/wiki/Sihor" title="Sihor">Sihor</a> but were repelled by Maharaja Bhavsinhji Gohil. After the war Bhavsinhji realised the reason for repeated attack was the location of Sihor. In 1723, he established a new capital near Vadva village, 20 km away from Sihor, and named it <a href="/wiki/Bhavnagar" title="Bhavnagar">Bhavnagar</a> after himself. It was a carefully chosen strategic location because of its potential for maritime trade. Naturally, <a href="/wiki/Bhavnagar" title="Bhavnagar">Bhavnagar</a> became the capital of Bhavnagar State. In 1807, Bhavnagar State became a <a href="/wiki/British_protectorate" title="British protectorate">British protectorate</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Dosabhai_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dosabhai-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><br /> </p><p>The old town of Bhavnagar was a fortified town with gates leading to other important regional towns. It remained a major port for almost two centuries, trading commodities with Mozambique, <a href="/wiki/Zanzibar" title="Zanzibar">Zanzibar</a>, Singapore, and the <a href="/wiki/Persian_Gulf" title="Persian Gulf">Persian Gulf</a>. </p><p>Bhavsinhji ensured that Bhavnagar benefited from the revenue that was brought in from maritime trade, which was monopolised by Surat and Cambay. As the castle of Surat was under the control of the Sidis of Janjira, Bhavsinhji brokered an agreement with them, giving the Sidis 1.25% of the revenue by Bhavnagar port. Bhavsinhji entered into a similar agreement with the British when they took over Surat in 1856. Whilst Bhavsinhji was in power, Bhavnagar grew from a small chieftainship to a considerably important state. This was due to the addition of new territories as well as the income provided by maritime trade. Bhavsinhji's successors continued to encourage maritime trade through Bhavnagar port, recognising its importance to the state. The territory was further expanded by Bhavsinhji's grandson, Vakhatsinhji Gohil when he took possession of lands belonging to <a href="/wiki/Kolis" class="mw-redirect" title="Kolis">Kolis</a> and Kathis, obtained Rajula from the Navab Saheb Ahmad Khan, and merged Ghogha Taluka into the state. In 1793, Vakhatsinhji conquered the forts of Chital and Talaja, and later conquered Mahuva, Kundla, Trapaj, Umrala and Botad. Bhavnagar remained the main port of the state, with Mahuva and Ghogha also becoming important ports. Because of the maritime trade, the state prospered compared to other states. During the late 19th century, the <a href="/wiki/Bhavnagar_State_Railway" title="Bhavnagar State Railway">Bhavnagar State Railway</a> was constructed. This made Bhavnagar the first state that was able to construct its railway system without any aid from the central government, which was mentioned in the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Imperial_Gazetteer&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Imperial Gazetteer (page does not exist)">Imperial Gazetteer</a>. Mr Peile, a political agent, described the state as follows: "With flourishing finances and much good work in progress. Of financial matters I need say little; you have no debts, and your treasury is full."<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Between 1870 and 1878 the state was put under joint administration, due to the fact that Prince <a href="/wiki/Takhtsinhji" title="Takhtsinhji">Takhtsinhji</a> was a minor. This period produced some notable reforms in the areas of administration, revenue collection, judiciary, <a href="/wiki/Postal,_telegraph_and_telephone_service" title="Postal, telegraph and telephone service">the post and telegraph services</a>, and economic policy. The ports were also modernised. The two people who were responsible for those reforms were Mr E. H. Percival of the <a href="/wiki/Bombay_Civil_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="Bombay Civil Service">Bombay Civil Service</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gaurishankar_Udayshankar" title="Gaurishankar Udayshankar">Gaurishankar Udayshankar</a>, Chief Minister of Bhavnagar State Bhavngar Boroz. </p><p>In 1911, HH Maharani Nundkanvarba of Bhavnagar, was awarded the <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Crown_of_India" title="Order of the Crown of India">Order of the Crown of India</a>, the highest Imperial award for women of the Empire. The former princely state of Bhavnagar was also known as Gohilwad; "Land of the Gohils" (the clan of the ruling family). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Bhavnagar_Lancers">The Bhavnagar Lancers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bhavnagar_State&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The Bhavnagar Lancers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Initially, the infantry, known as the Bhavnagar State Infantry, were employed as armed police, though some were noted as having been specially trained for artillery duties. </p><p>While the State had long maintained an artillery, cavalry and infantry for defense and security, in 1866, these gave way to a body of police, which was found more suitable for keeping order in the towns and villages under the Thakur. In 1890 the Thakur of Bhavnagar joined with other Rulers in Kathiawar in offering a portion of their State troops for re-organization under the Imperial Service Troops Scheme and in the following year it was agreed that Bhavnagar's contribution should be 300 Rajput cavalry. </p><p>By 1909 the army was noted as comprising: Imperial Service Lancers 256 Cavalry 51 Infantry 285 </p><p>Nevertheless, during the First World War, the Bhavnagar Lancers were on active service in Egypt, Palestine and Mesopotamia, during which the unit gained a number of battle honors and some of its men received decorations for bravery in the field. </p><p>In 1922 both the Lancers and the State Infantry joined the Indian State Forces Scheme. During the Second World War the units themselves were too small to be considered for active service but the Lancers and Infantry supplied men for an Indian Army transport company, as well as providing 15 signalers for the Indian Corps of Signals. </p><p>In December 1948 the Bhavnagar Lancers and Infantry, Dhrangadhra Infantry and Porbandar Infantry were amalgamated to form the 2nd Battalion, Saurashtra Infantry. This eventually became a part of the 18th (Saurashtra) Battalion, The Rajputana Rifles, Indian Army. It was subsequently re-designated 11th Battalion, (18th Rajputana Rifles)(Saurashtra), The Mechanised Infantry Regiment, and as such still exists. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Merger_with_the_Indian_Union_in_1948">Merger with the Indian Union in 1948</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bhavnagar_State&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Merger with the Indian Union in 1948"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1947, the Deputy Prime Minister of the newly independent <a href="/wiki/Dominion_of_India" title="Dominion of India">Indian Union</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vallabhbhai_Patel" title="Vallabhbhai Patel">Vallabhbhai Patel</a>, undertook the process of <a href="/wiki/Political_integration_of_India" title="Political integration of India">unifying</a> 565 princely states with the Union.
