History
The princely state of Jawhar was originally founded in 1343 AD. As a princely state became a part of the Bombay Presidency during the British Raj. The last ruler of the Principality of Indian independence Jawhar was HH Shrimant Raja Patang Shah V (Yashswant Rao) Mukne. The small tribal state of Jawhar, in the Konkan, dates its founding to 1306, making it one of the oldest princely states in the old Bombay Presidency. In that year, a Mukne Jayabha a Poligar, took possession of the fort in Jawhar. His eldest son, Dulbarrao extended its heritage and conquered a large territory, controlling 22 strong, comprising most of Thana and Nasik districts and producing annual revenues of £ 90,000. Was recognized as ruler by the Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq Shah II, receiving the new name of Nimshah and the hereditary title of Raja on June 5, 1343. This event was marked by the creation of a new era of calendar used in the state for more than 600 years.Nimshah's grandson, Deobarrao, fought I Bahmani Sultan Ahmad Shah. During his capture in Bidar, fell in love with the daughter of the Sultan. The marriage was solemnized after he converted to Islam and took the name of Muhammad Shah. He returned to Jawhar and continued to rule the state without being disturbed by the rest of his life. At his death, the powerful Hindu sardars and nobles refused to recognize his son as his successor, because of their Muslim faith. Instead, they chose Holkarrao Hindu grandson, the younger brother of Nimshah. Since then, his descendants ruled the small state Hindus in relative peace until the advent of Maratha power.
Vikramshah met Raja Shivaji the Great in Shirpaumal, during this historic march to Surat, then joined him in the sack of the city in 1664. However, he soon fell, with the Marathas and was the first Peshwa, Moropant Trimbak Pingle, in 1678. Thereafter, the Marathas slowly and steadily tightened its control over Mukne rulers, annexing district after district and imposing increasing taxes, fees and fines. They took control of the state in 1742, 1758 and 1761. Each time you release control Mukne family provided that the territories were ceded and increased taxes. In 1782 Raja was allowed to keep for himself, a landlocked territory in the mountains, which produced no more than £ 1,500 to £ 2,000 pa
The arrival of British rule brought a degree of stability not seen for over a century. However, development was slow, given the low level of income and revenue administration irregular organization. Improvements Little or nothing was done until the reign of Patangshah IV. A well educated and enlightened ruler, immediately set about improving conditions, streamlining government, building roads, schools and clinics. At his death in 1905, conditions had improved greatly.
The relatively short reigns of the two sons of Patangshah, Vikramshah Krishnashah V and V, also experienced constant improvements. The last call was especially diligent in improving the agricultural sector, the construction of wells, guarantee the rights of young and improving the state's infrastructure. He contributed substantially to the war effort during the First World War, and received a nine-gun salvo in recognition of his services. His early death in 1926 marked the beginning of a ten-year regency for her son, Yeshwantrao Patangshah V. The latter assumed full ruling powers in 1938, after having received perhaps the best education for any family member. He continued the good work done under the regency by the expansion of development activity, promoting the chemical, paper, textile, dyeing, printing, liquor and starch. The government provides free primary education and medical help, spent the middle and high schools, a library and museum center, hospitals and maternity homes, dispensaries and always traveling to rural areas. With the outbreak of World War II, Raja immediately volunteered for service and served four years with the RIAF.

Then combined their status in the Bombay Presidency in early next year. He then embarked on a political career, representing his people, both in the national parliament and the whole state.
