== History ==<br />
The Malwa Agency was formed in 1895 out of [[princely state]]s in the Northern [[Malwa]] region formerly under the authority of the British agent for [[Indore]] and the abolition of the Western Malwa Agency which had been a sub-agency of the Central India Agency since 1854.<ref>Sir William Wilson Hunter. ''The Imperial Gazetteer of India''. London: Trübner & co., 1885.</ref> <br />
<br />
The [[Dewas States]] ([[Dewas Senior]] & [[Dewas Junior]]) were added to Malwa Agency in 1907. In 1925 Malwa Agency was amalgamated with [[Bhopawar Agency]] to form the '''Malwa and Bhopawar Agency''', renamed the '''Malwa and Southern States Agency''' in 1927. The Dewas States were transferred to [[Bhopal Agency]] in 1931, and in 1934 the agency was once again renamed Malwa Agency.<br />
<br />
After [[Partition of India|Indian independence]] in 1947, the rulers of these states acceded to the [[Government of India]] and were amalgamated into the new Indian state of [[Madhya Bharat]]. Madhya Bharat was merged into [[Madhya Pradesh]] state on 1 November 1956.<br />
