ESTATES WITHIN DHAR PRINCELY STATE
In 1921, a separate department to superintend Thakurs and Bhumias, called the "Department of Thakurans, Bhumian and Thikanejat" was established, at which time there were twenty two such estates in Dhar State. The nobles of Dhar, holding jagir lands, all of whom paid tribute to the Darbar, were divided between Thakurs and Bhumias.

The Thakurs with one exception were Rajput landholders whose estates were located in the North of the state. Locally, the Thakurs were styled Talukdars and their holdings, kothari. By caste there were eight Rathore Rajputs, one Panwar and one Kayasth. The eight Bhumias or "Alloidal" chiefs were all Bhilalas, a clan claiming mixed Bhil and Rajput (Chauhan) descent. Their grants were originally obtained from the Darbar on the understanding that they kept the peace among the Bhils and other wild hill tribes in the area.
