Short brief history of Vadodara city of India
Vadodara, also known as Baroda, is the third largest and most populated city in the Indian State of Gujrat.
The first noted history of the city was of the early trader settlers who
settled in the region in 812 AD. The province was mainly
Hindu-dominated with Hindu kings ruling till the year 1297. The Gupta Empire was the first power in the region in the early years of the Christian Era. After fierce battles, the region was taken over by the Chalukya dynasty. Finally, the kingdom was annexed by the Solanki dynasty. By this time the Muslim rule had spread across India, and the reins of power were then snatched by the Delhi Sultans. The city was ruled for a long time by these Sultans, until they were easily overthrown by the Mughals. The Mughals biggest problem were the Marathas who eventually took over the region. It became the capital of the Maratha Gaekwads.
Sayajirao Gaekwad III (1875–1939), a most successful ruler, made many
public and bureaucratic improvements in the region. Although the British
had a major influence on the region, Baroda remained a Princely state until Independence. Like many other princely states, Baroda also joined the Dominion of India in 1947.
