Sachin ( Gujarati સચીન રિયાસત ; Urdu سچن ریاست) was a small princely state of British India between Surat and Navsari in today's state of Gujarat . Its capital was the place Sachin . There resided under the sovereignty of the Peshwa of the Marathas, the older line of the Muslim nawabs of Janjira , which in 1791 became an independent principality. After the British victory over the Marathas in the Third Marath War , Sachin became a British protectorate (until 1947); it was under direct British administration from 1835–1864.
In 1931 the principality had an area of 127 km², which consisted of several scattered villages, and 22,000 inhabitants. The Nawab was annexed to India on March 3, 1948, and Sachin became part of the state of Bombay . It has belonged to the state of Gujarat since 1960 .
