Nimbalkars of Yaval
Lasur :Village in the Chopda taluka of East Khandesh istrict, Bombay, situated near Chopda town. The fort was dismantled by the British, and the 'Thoke's mansion was burnt down. The history of the family illustrates the state of Khandesh in the beginning of the nineteenth century. Tue Camatic mercenaries, employed by every petty proprietor, had made themselves so obnoxious that Gulzar Khan Thoke, the holder of the strong fort of Lasur, enlisted a body of Arabs to oppose them. Unable to control or pay his Arabs, he used to let them loose on the country round, till at last the other proprietors, entering into a league against him, bribed his Arabs to assassinate him at Lasur and his eldest son Aliyar Khan at Chopda. A second son, Alaf Khan, escaping from lasur, took refage with Suryaji (suraji) Rao Nimbalkar of Yaval. Returning with some carnatic mercenaries lent him by the Nimbalkar, Alaf khan, on pretance of paying the Arabs their arrears, entered the fort, and the Carnatic troops seized the Arabs and put them to death. But instead of being in possession of his own fort, Alaf Khan found that his hired force had orders to hold the fort for their master the Nimbalkar. Driven to despair, Alaf Khan allied himself with bhills and plundered without mercy. At last time Nimbalkar agreed to give up the fort for a money payment of Rs, 10,000. This sum Captain Briggs advanced to the Thoke family and occupied the fort with British troops. Source Imperial gazetteer of India ..., Volume 16 By Si, William Wilson Hunter.

Proof of Mahadaji Nimbalkar as lord of Phaltan in 1666.
Studies In Indian History: Rajasthan Through The Ages The Heritage Of ... B RK Gupta SR Bakshi

Jai Singh's Campaign in the Bhima-Manj Ira Region, February-June, 1666 The third stage of the war now began, which was to end with his retreat to Bhum, 18 miles north-east of Parenda, early in June next. During these three months and a haLf Jai Singh moved about in the small quadrilateral formed by the Bhima on the west and the Manjira on the east, and the cities of Dharur in the north and Tuljapur in the south, in the course of this campaign, he fought four more bloody but fruitless battles like those described before. Each time the Bijapuris were repulsed in the field and driven some distance, but they were not crushed and continued as before to hover round the Mughal camp, cutoff stragglers and weak foraging parties, and stop the arrival of supplies. During this period, the forts of Dhoki (44 miles east of Parenda), Gunjoti (20 miles east of Naldurg), and Nilang (23 miles further north) were captured by the Mughals-not very important gains-and Netaji returned to the Mughal side. A new plan of war was adopted in the middle of May: As the elusive enemy could not be caught in one body, nor crushed once for all, but they scattered Like quicksilver, and the imperialists who were encumbered with a camp and heavy baggage could not pursue them for any long distance-therefore, Jal Slngh decided to make his army more light arid mobile, so as to be capable of folLowing the enemy till a crushing blow could be inflicted. He took with himself only small tents and Light kit and urged his officers to do the same and send all the baggage of the soldiers and camp-followers to Dharur (31 miles north of Dhoki), where a strong garrison was left to guard them. (A.N., 1018). But at this point the Imperial army completely broke down and the campaign had to be abandoned:. The soldiers were exhausted by privation, long marches, and heavy loss of horses and transport anuinäls. The rainy season was near and the Emperor wrote to Jai Singh to return to Aurangabad, canton there for the monsoons, and send a part of his army to the jagirs of his officers, where they could live in (greater) comfort. (A.N., 1020)

So a retreat was decided upon. Mangalvide was too for from the Mughal frontier and too isolated a post to be held easily, Jai Singh, therefore, detached Dilir Khan to remove the guns and material from the fort (Friday, 25th May), distribute the gram and other property, bum whatever could not be carried away, and dismantle the fortifications. This was done, and the party rejoined him on Thursday, 31st May.

Phaltan had been deemed untenable and its Mughal garrison withdrawn as early as February last. It was then presented to Mahadaji Nimbalkar, a son-in-law of Shivaji, and an officer of the imperialists.

The return march northwards began on Friday, 1st June. Reaching Bhum (about 10th June), Jai Singh helted there for three and a half months, and then, on 28th September, started for the environs of Bir (37 miles north of Bhum) where he stayed till 17th November, finally reaching Aurangabad on the 26th of that month. By the end of May when the Mughals began this final retreat, the Bijapuris too were exhausted. The Sultan of Golkunda recalled his troops. Both the combatants were sick of war, and longed for peace; and negotiations were opened. The Bijapuris retired within their own frontiers when the Mughals did the same. Jai Singh's invasion of Bijapur was a military failure. Not an inch of territory, not a stone of a fortress, not a piece of indemnity was gained by it. As a financial speculation it was even more disastrous. Only the most complete success could have justified such a costly adventure immediately after the war with Shivaji had thrown the pay of the Mughal army into arrears for six months. In addition to the thirty laths of rupees advanced to him from the Imperial treasury, Jai Singh had spent more than a krore out of his own pocket. (Dii, 56.)

PHALTAN in Government Publications
'List of Ruling Princes and Chiefs in Political Relations with the Government of Bombay and their Leading Officials, Nobles and Personages CALCUTTA:GOVERNMENT OF INDIA CENTRAL PUBLICAION BRANCH 1931 ' PHALTAN. Area. 397 square miles. Population. . . . . 43,286. Revenue. . . . . . Rs. 2,843287. Salute. . . . Nit. Brief History.-The Chiefs come of one of the oldest Maratha families in the Deccan. They belong to the Powar clan and have taken the surname of Nimbalkar from their original home at Nimblak, a village 9 miles to the east of Phaltan.

The reputed founder of the family, Nimbraj was a brave soldier. He first came from the North and settled in the Deccan, at a place near the foot of the Shambhu Mahadev hills. It was his son Phadakhala Jagdeo alias Dharapatrao, who distinguished himself. in the reign of Mahommad Taghlakh, Emperor of Delhi.

Phadakhala's son, Nimbraj II, received the Jahagir and the title of Naik from that Emperor about the year 1327 A.D. This Nirnbraj II (1327-1349) founded the present capital Phaltan.

In the sixteenth century the family became related to the Bhonsles of Satara through the marriage of Dipabai, sister of Wangoji alias Jagpalrao Naik (1570-1630), with Shiwaji's grandfather, Maloji. This tie was renewed later by the marriage of Shiwaji's daughter, Sakhubai, with Mahadaji, a younger son of Bajaji Naik (1644-1676), and by several other subsequent inter-marriages between the two families.

With the growth of the Maratha power, the Jahagir passed under the dominion of the Rajas of Satara and later under that of the Peshwas. On the overthrow of Baji Rao II, the last Peshwa, the Jahagir became once more subordinate to the Rajas of Satara, but under the guarantee of the British Government conferred by a Treaty, dated 22nd April 1820, which continues in force though the Satara State lapsed to the British Government in 1849. The late Chief Mudhojirao alias Bapu Saheb, C.S.I., who was installed in 1860, was born in 1838 and was adopted in 1841 by the widow of Jan Rao Naik who (Jan Rao) concluded the Treaty of 1820. His only son Vyankatrao, born in 1861, died in 1887. Mudhojirao died on the 17th October 1916. The present Chief Maloji Rao alias Nana Saheb, born in 1896 was adopted by the late Chief in 1899. He was installed with Lhe full powers appertaining to the ruler of the State on the 15th November 1917. He is an Honorary Aide-de-Camp to His Excellency the Governor of Bombay. He has married the daughter of Shrimant Sardar Shambhusing Jadhavrao Raje of Malegaon Budruk in Poona District.

The Chief is a Pirst Class Sardar of the Deccan and holds a Sanad from Government permitting adoption. He has no salute, but is entitled to be received by the Viceroy and to be received and visited by the Governor of Bombay. The State maintains no military force.

Relatives-Sons- (1) Shrimant Yuvaraj Pratabsing alias Bapu Saheb, born on 13th July 1923. (2) Shrimant Kumar Shivaji Raje, born on 25th May 1925. (3) Shrimant Kumar Udayasinh Raje, born on 7th December 1927. Datighter.-Sarojini Devi alias Akkasaheb, is the eldest among the Chief's children. Officials-Mr. K. V.

Poona With Rambhaji Nimbalkar

In 1707, Rambhaji Nimbalkar. a subordinate of Nizam-ul-Mulk. captured Poona. For eight years the city was under Rambhaji Nimbalkar. In 1713, the Mughali conferred on him the Jagir of Poona district. --Jaisinh Nimbalkar (talk) 17:33, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Confusion about the Kharda Branch of Haibatrao Nimbalkar
As per history mentioned in Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency It's mentioned on page 599 that " Soon afterwords Haibatrao Nimbalkar died, and his office was given to Dawalshi Somwanshi, where upon his son went to Nizam-ul-mulk and received Barsi as Jagir.

This makes confusion as Haibatrao if died in 1714 AD then how other history book mentions him to be dead in 1747 at age 77. When I studied the family tree I come to conclusion that the Sultanrao was his son who joined nizam. There might be confusion amongst the historians about the name, but it's possible instead of calling sultanrao he might have been referred as Sultanji. As Sultanrao had a son named Hanumantrao. It's clear that the sultanji II is Hanumantrao.

Another proof of the statement :-

Rani Tararaje Nimbalkar - Bhum.
After the defeat of the Nizam-ul-mulk Nizam Ali in the battle of Kharda in 1795 at the hands of the Marathas, Karmala came under the Maratha rule and subsequently under the British rule. In consequence, the Nizam-ul-mulk conferred upon the Nimbalkars a jagir at Bhum in Osmanabad district in Marathwada region under his sway. Rani Tararaje Nimbalkar of the same lineage was elected to the Bombay Legislative Assembly on behalf of the Congress in 1952.
