Madhya Pradesh was home to several prominent Badgujar Rajput estates, including:

• Th.Dhabla Ghosi - The ancestral seat of our family
• Dabla Dheer
• Dadiya Khedi
• Kamalpur
• Sadhan Khedi

One of the most significant branches of the Badgujar Rajputs in the region was the Raizada branch, which held a twelve-village estate in Vidisha, granted to Raja Raisingh Badgujar by the Marathas. The main branches of the Badgujar Rajputs in Madhya Pradesh were:

• Bhojavat
• Dharmangaj
• Raizada

Each of these branches contributed to the region's governance and cultural heritage.

One of the most notable Badgujar estates was Th.Dabla Ghosi, whose history is intertwined with the legacy of Raja Goga Dev of Rajgarh-Machadi. His second son, Bhojraj Ji, moved from Machadi to Banawad, where his descendants lived for five generations. The lineage of Dabla Ghosi is as follows:

• Rudra Ji → Desh Ji → Madanmal Ji → Gyan Sahay Ji → Khanderay Ji

Khanderay Ji later moved from Banawad to Kotda in Kheechiwada, where his successors continued to rule. His descendants included Karn Singh Ji, Kumbha Ji, Dashraj Ji, Mohkam Singh Ji, Guman Singh Ji, Raghunath Singh Ji, and Achal Singh Ji.

Achal Singh Ji had two sons, Govardhan Singh and Zorawar Singh. After the defeat of the Marathas by Lord Hastings in 1818, Dabla Ghosi was declared a guaranteed estate (garanti riyasat). The estate received financial support from various rulers:

Additionally, they held a village under Gwalior state, yielding ₹1,050 in revenue. After Rao Govardhan Singh's demise in 1854, his son Rao Gopal Singh took over, followed by Rao Chand Singh as the ruler of Th. Dhabla Ghosi.

Rao Chand Singh had five sons:

When Rao Hanuvat Singh passed away childless, his nephew Bhupendra Singh, the son of Keshari Singh, became the ruler of Dabla Ghosi. The family's influence extended to villages like Panda (Tehsil Shujalpur) and Babroda (near Thikana Umri, Guna district), showcasing their enduring legacy.

The Badgujar Rajputs were not just rulers but also defenders of their land and culture. They played a pivotal role in resisting foreign invasions and maintaining regional stability during the reigns of the Marathas, Rajputs, and Mughals. Their military strategies and administrative skills ensured the prosperity of their territories, making them key players in the power dynamics of central and western India.

Beyond their military achievements, the Badgujar Rajputs made significant contributions to the cultural and social fabric of Madhya Pradesh. They built forts, palaces, and temples that stand as testaments to their architectural prowess. Their patronage of art, literature, and religious institutions helped preserve Rajputana traditions, which continue to influence the region's culture today.

Today, the Badgujar Rajputs continue to honor their heritage while adapting to modern times. Many descendants are active in politics, administration, and social service, ensuring that the clan's legacy remains relevant. Historical estates like Dabla Ghosi serve as reminders of their glorious past, while cultural events and family records keep their traditions alive.
