Predecessors and Short History:
Dhrol
is a Jadeja State and like all Jadeja's, those of Dhrol are direct
descendents
of Lord Shri Krishna, the Sovereign of Dwarka. The original
founder
of the State was Jam Hardholji, son of Jam Lakhoji of Kutch. Jam Rawal
and his
three brothers - Hardholji, Ravoji and Modji moved in about 1535 from
Kutch
to Kathiawar, being assisted by his brothers, Jam Rawal conquered many
parganahs from the Deda, Chavda and Jethwa clans. One Dhamal Chavda who
then reigned at Dhamalpur [Dhrol] obstructed the Jam brothers in their
conquests in one way or another, and in order to remove this
obstruction,
Jam Hardholji marched against Dhamal Chavda and after defeating him,
acquired
that parganah for himself in about 1539 and founded a separate State of
some 140 villages. Succession is by Primogeniture and also by adoption.
