'''Jambughoda State''', previously known as '''Narukot''' and '''Tokalpur''' state, was a small [[princely state]] in [[India]] during the time of the [[British Raj]]. Its last ruler acceded to the Union of India on 10 June 1948.

Jambughoda State had an area of 370 km<sup>2</sup> and a population of 11385 in 1931.<ref>Great Britain India Office. ''[[The Imperial Gazetteer of India]]''. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1908</ref> It was bounded by [[Baria State]] in the north, [[Baroda State]] in the south and [[Chhota Udaipur State]] in the east.

Jambughoda State fell under the [[Baroda Agency]] of the [[Bombay Presidency]], later integrated into the [[Baroda and Gujarat States Agency]].
It was located in a tribal dominated area, with the [[Naikda]] and the [[Koli people]] as the main groups. Its capital was at [[Jambughoda]] town in present-day [[Gujarat]] state, [[India]].

==History==
Jambughoda State was established towards the end of the 14th century by Thakore Vachhaji, a descendant of the [[Malwa]] ruling dynasty. From the mid-tenth century, Malwa had been ruled by the Paramaras, who established a capital at [[Dhar]]. King Bhoj, who ruled from about 1010 to 1060, was known as the great polymath philosopher-king of medieval India. Under his rule Malwa became an intellectual centre of India. His successors ruled until about 1305, when Malwa was conquered by the [[Delhi Sultanate]].

In 1826 Jambughoda State became a [[British protectorate]]. Between 1829 and 1838 the territory was occupied by [[Baroda State]], becoming a British protectorate again in 1849.<ref>[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_K-W.html Princely States of India]</ref>

The Thakur Sahib of Jambughoda was one of the original constituents of the [[Chamber of Princes]] an institution established in 1920. He exercised considerable civil and criminal jurisdiction. The progressive and efficient administration of the state of Jambughoda exempted it from being merged during the [[attachment scheme]] of 1943. The last ruler was [[Ranjitsinhji Gambhirsinhji]] (b. 1892) who reigned from 27 Sep 1917 to 15 Aug 1947.<ref>[http://www.indianrajputs.com/view/jambugodha Jambughoda (Princely State)]</ref>

The state was ruled by [[Kshatriya]] [[Koli People|Kolis]] belonging to the [[Paramara dynasty|Parmar]] dynasty and took the title of [[Thakor]] And [[Rana (title)|Rana]] Sahib.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OX4IAAAAQAAJ&dq=Jambughoda+Kolis&pg=PA103|title = B omby n presidency|year = 1884}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7iOsNUZ2MXgC&dq=Narukot+Koli&pg=PA382|title=The Golden Book of India: A Genealogical and Biographical Dictionary of the Ruling Princes, Chiefs, Nobles, and Other Personages, Titled Or Decorated of the Indian Empire|last=Lethbridge|first=Sir Roper|date=2005|publisher=Aakar Books|isbn=9788187879541|language=en}}</ref>
