History
Chiklana (Chickalana) Thikana, situated in the historic Malwa region of modern-day Madhya Pradesh, was a prominent estate ruled by the Chandrawat clan of the Sisodia dynasty. The Chandrawats, who trace their descent from Rao Chandra (an illustrious offshoot of the royal house of Mewar), established their dominance in Malwa with their primary seat at Rampura. Over the centuries, branch families of the Rampura house, including the thikana of Chiklana, navigated the complex geopolitical landscape of Central India, maintaining their aristocratic rights and territorial autonomy through the Mughal era and the subsequent period of Maratha hegemony under the Scindias of Gwalior. Throughout the British Raj, Chiklana preserved its traditional Rajput administrative structure as a guaranteed landholding estate, eventually integrating into the Indian Union following India's independence in 1947.
