INTRODUCTIN
In the introduction of the first volume of our "Latche Marathi Aitihasik Lekh" we have given an out line of the History of Guzrat from the time of Mauryas down to the present day. Over and above all we have stated that the line of Now serika, Nandipur and Patan be came extinct and no lineal descent survived. Besides this in the Prakkathan of our book "Chaulukya Chandrika Latkhand" have we made similar statement.

However after Hamirsingh, the successor of Udaisingh, Maharawl Gulabsingh II, the Grand father of present Maharawal Shree Sir Indrasingh Bahadur K. C. I. E, who succeeded in his own right to the Gadi of Bansda, the direct line is surviving.
Not only the Geneology became obscure after the death of Maharawl Gulabsingh ist in 1753 but a great deal of confussion followed. His opponent Zora warsingh, the Kritrimputra of his step mother, who was a constant source of trouble through out, his lire, remaind as such till the death of Maharawal Udaisingh. A glance 07er the records, incorporated in these two volumes, will show at once that Zoravarsingh fought for the Gadi
