Karol is a village and former minor Rajput princely state on the Saurashtra peninsula in the Indian state of Gujarat.

Rajput member of one of the patrilineal clans of western, central, northern India and some parts of Pakistan

Rajput is a large multi-component cluster of castes, kin bodies, and local groups, sharing social status and ideology of genealogical descent originating from the Indian subcontinent. The term Rajput covers various patrilineal clans historically associated with warriorhood: several clans claim Rajput status, although not all claims are universally accepted.

Princely state Type of vassal state

A princely state, also called native state, feudatory state or Indian state, was a vassal state under a local or regional ruler in a subsidiary alliance with the British Raj. Though the history of the princely states of the subcontinent dates from at least the classical period of Indian history, the predominant usage of the term princely state specifically refers to a semi-sovereign principality on the Indian subcontinent during the British Raj that was not directly governed by the British, but rather by a local ruler, subject to a form of indirect rule on some matters. In actual fact, the imprecise doctrine of paramountcy allowed the government of British India to interfere in the internal affairs of princely states individually or collectively and issue edicts that applied to all of India when it deemed it necessary.

History

The princely state in Jhalawar prant was ruled by Jhala Rajput Chieftains. It comprised two major centres; Karol and Vadekhan villages.

A prant is a historical district in India, and a native British Raj age term for a colonial district. The same name can thus have different meanings depending on the periode.

In 1901 the population totaled 981. State Revenue in 1903-04 yielded approximately Rs. 11,000, 796 of which was paid to the British and Junagadh State.

The whole was also more formally called the Indian Empire. As India, it was a founding member of the League of Nations, a participating nation in the Summer Olympics in 1900, 1920, 1928, 1932, and 1936, and a founding member of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945.
