Umargam but General) Raibhan is the first and Mangaldeva, the third, but in this Mangaldeva is shown as first and Raibhan the third. While No I makes Mangaldeva as the Usurper of the Gadi, making him the third son but this table clears him off at all from the blame of his black deeds of usurpation. As regards Raisingh, the fifth, both agree and put four names between Raisingh andUdaisingh. They make Ranmal the eldest son of Goolabsingh instead of Bubersingh. They omit the adoption, if Gumansingh to Kubersing and continues bim keesing in the direct line of his natural father Mansingh. They also cmits the aliase of Mansingh and totally refuses the adoption or Waras of Gemel singh in the line of Nathubaba but make Chandrasingh the father Nathubab, issueless. This table removes the doubts of there be any at all, regarding these motive behind the preparation of all these Tables. Without any further comments wer eject all the Tables found from the sources of Umargam and term them as got up.
Before undertaking another table we would like to quote some evindence in support of our contention. The three Ranis, Suratia Dhankuarba, Jhalibai Rajkuarba and Ravla Ramkuarba, of Maha rawal Hamirsinghji in their letter dated Jyestha bad 30th Sambat 1917 ( 8th July 1861. A.D. ) addressed to A.B. Warden Esg., the then acting Agent at Surat write on the death of Oodeysingbji Maharaj it was resolved that Nathoobaba sun of Chandrasingbji, who belong ed to the Khidki of Partapsinghji should succed to the Gadi, but before this could be carried out Nathoobaba died, and his eldest son the late Maharaja was placed on the Gadi. His younger son Thakhta. singh having diedin bis infancy and there being no descendant of Chandrasingh in the Khidki, the late Raja (Hummersinghji) granted permision to his step mother to nominate Gemalsingh ji as heir pressumptive in his Khidki line. Taking this also into consideration it seems reasonable that Wasadia Gemalsingbji should suceed to the Gadi in the place of the late Maharaja". Keshow Narsingh the staunch supporter of Gemalsingh's cause wrote twice to the then Agent, firstly on 16th. July 1861 and secondly on 13th November 1861 confidentially. In his first letter he expoused the cause of Gemalsingbil and deplored the Government's intention in conneetion with Goolabsingh's right. In his second letter finding Goolabsingh's Succession a certainity he pleades his good intention but still sup.
