'''Barwani State''' <ref name=gz>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V06_158.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India]</ref> was a [[princely state]] in India. The seat was at [[Barwani]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The state was founded in the 11th or 14th century, at which time it was known as Avasgarh.<ref name=gz/> the Rana's of Avasgarh were Sisodia's who claimed to be the descendants of Bappa Rawal. The records of the state claim that Awasgarh had 51 Rana's however there is little information about their names or the dates they reigned in. Parsan Singh, the 35th Rana was defeated by the Sultan of Delhi and taken as prisoner, the rana agreed to covert to Islam on the condition that he gets his ancestral lands back. 3 of Parsans descendants were Muslims although they followed their Hindu customs, the Rana's eventually converted back to Hinduism. The 41st Rana Chandra Singh moved his capital to the safer position of Barwani. The state lost most of its territory during the [[Maratha Empire|Maratha domination]] in the 17th century, however it never became tributary to any Major power.<ref>https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/text.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V07_096.gif</ref> <br />
<br />
Under the [[British Raj]], Barwani was a state of the [[Bhopawar Agency]], a division of the [[Central India Agency]]. The state lay in the [[Satpura Range]] south of the [[Narmada River]]. It had an area of {{convert|3051|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} and a population, in 1901, of 76,136. The average revenue of the state was Rs.4,00,000.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V08_153.gif|title = Imperial Gazetteer2 of India, Volume 8, page 147 -- Imperial Gazetteer of India -- Digital South Asia Library}}</ref> The inhabitants were predominantly [[Bhil]] tribals.
