Jaroa ( Hindi : जावरा रियासत) was one of the princely states of the Central India Agency of British India in what is now the state of Madhya Pradesh . Its capital was Jaora . The principality was founded by the Muslim Afghans ' Abd al-Ghafur Muhammad Khan, a brother-in-law of the Amir Khan of Tonk . He fought in the service of Holkar - Maharaja of Indore against the Rajputs and received land and title of Nawab . After Holkar's defeat by the British at the Battle of Mehidpur in 1817, the Khan sought recognition from the British. In 1818 he was recognized as Prince of Joara and overlord of Piploda. Jaora was a British protectorate from 1818 to 1947 . Piploda became independent from Joara and Panth-Piploda in 1942 as a British province.
In 1941 Jaora had an area of 2,727 km² and 117,000 inhabitants, consisting of several parts. Jaora joined India on June 15, 1948 and joined the Madhya Bharat Princely Union on June 16 .
