The Gaekwads were granted the city as a [[Jagir]] by [[Chhatrapati]] [[Shahu I]], the emperor of the [[Maratha Empire]] and [[Bajirao I|Peshwa Bajirao I]] played an important role in helping [[Pilaji Rao Gaekwad]] strengthen his position in [[Baroda]] and establish his rule there. &lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Sayajirao Gaekwad III: Baroda’s Adopted Ruler and a Connoisseur of Arts |url=https://indianculture.gov.in/snippets/sayajirao-gaekwad-iii-barodas-adopted-ruler-and-connoisseur-arts |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250403231207/https://indianculture.gov.in/snippets/sayajirao-gaekwad-iii-barodas-adopted-ruler-and-connoisseur-arts |archive-date=2025-04-03 |access-date=2025-12-19 |website=INDIAN CULTURE |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In their early years, the Gaekwads served as subordinates of the [[Dabhade]] family, who were the Maratha chiefs of Gujarat and holders of the &#039;&#039;senapati&#039;&#039; (commander-in-chief) title. When [[Umabai Dabhade]] joined [[Tarabai]]&#039;s side against [[Balaji Baji Rao]], Pilaji&#039;s son [[Damaji Rao Gaekwad]] commanded the Dabhade force. He was defeated, and remained in Peshwa&#039;s custody from May 1751 to March 1752. In 1752, he was released after agreeing to abandon the Dabhades and accept the Peshwa&#039;s suzerainty. In return, Damaji was made the Maratha chief of Gujarat, and the Peshwa helped him expel the Mughals from Gujarat.&lt;ref name=&quot;CAKDBP_1918&quot;&gt;{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/stream/historyofmaratha03kincuoft#page/2/mode/2up/search/umabai |title=A History of the Maratha People Volume 3 |author1=[[Charles Augustus Kincaid]] |author2=[[Dattatray Balwant Parasnis]] |year=1918 |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |pages=2–10 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Damaji subsequently fought alongside [[Sadashivrao Bhau|Sadashiv Rao]], [[Vishwasrao|Vishwas Rao]], [[Malhar Rao Holkar]], [[Jankoji Rao Scindia|Jankoji Scindia]], Sidhoji [[Gharge-Desai (Deshmukh)]] and [[Mahadji Shinde]] in the [[Third Battle of Panipat]] (1761). After the Maratha defeat at Panipat, the central rule of the Peshwas was weakened. As a result, the Gaekwads, along with several other powerful Maratha clans, established themselves as virtually independent rulers, while recognizing the nominal authority of the Peshwas and suzerainty of the [[Bhonsle]] Maharaja of [[Satara State|Satara]].<br /> <br /> ==British suzerainty==<br /> [[File:SayajiRao Gaekwad.jpg|thumb|right|Sayajirao with Richard Temple, the Governor of Bombay and other members of the court. Circa 1880]]<br /> The Gaekwads, together with several [[Maratha]] chieftains, fought the [[United Kingdom|British]] in the [[First Anglo-Maratha War]].<br /> <br /> On 15 March 1802, the British intervened to defend the Gaekwad Maharaja, [[Anand Rao Gaekwad]], who had recently inherited the throne against rival claimants, and the Gaekwads concluded the Treaty of Cambey with the British that recognized their independence from the [[Maratha Confederacy]] and guaranteed the [[Maharaja]]s of Baroda local autonomy in return for recognizing British suzerainty, though it was a result of an inability to overpower them.<br /> <br /> [[Maharaja Sayyaji Rao III|Maharaja Sayaji Rao III]], who took the throne in 1875, did much to modernize Baroda, establishing compulsory primary education, a library system and the [[Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda]]. He also encouraged the setting up of [[textile]] factories, which helped create Baroda&#039;s textile industry. He is known for offering [[B. R. Ambedkar]] a scholarship to study at [[Columbia University]].<br /> <br /> Upon [[India]] attaining its independence in 1947, the last ruling Maharaja of [[Vadodara|Baroda]], Pratapsinhrao, acceded to India. Baroda was eventually merged with [[Bombay State]], which was later divided, based on linguistic principle, into the [[states and territories of India|states]] of [[Gujarat]] and [[Maharashtra]] in 1960.<br /> <br /> Gaekwad or Gayakwad also survives as a fairly common Maratha [[surname]], found mainly in the Indian state of [[Maharashtra]].<br /> <br /> ==Gaikwad Maharajas of Baroda==<br /> [[File:Pilajirao Gaikwad.jpg|thumb|Pilaji Rao, the founder of the dynasty]]<br /> {{unreferenced section|date=July 2020}}<br /> [[File:Maharani Gaikwad of Baroda from The Modern Review Vol 01 (Jan.-June 1907) (page 368 crop).jpg|thumb|Maharani Gaikwad of Baroda (1907)]]<br /> {{Tree list}}<br /> * Nandaji Rao Gaikwad, died May 1721<br /> **{{Tree list/final branch}} Kerojirao<br /> ***{{Tree list/final branch}} Jhingojirao<br /> ****{{Tree list/final branch}} &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Pilaji Rao Gaikwad]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, reigned from 1721, died 14 May 1732<br /> *****[[Image:Simple silver crown.svg|15px]] &#039;&#039;&#039;I.
