History edit

Sachin state was founded on 6 June 1791. Though over 85% of the subjects were Hindu, the state was ruled by Sunni Muslims of the Siddi dynasty of Danda-Rajpuri and Janjira State. The Siddi dynasty is of Abyssinian (Habesha) origin.[1]

Sachin State was under the protection of the Maratha Peshwa until it became a British protectorate. It had its own cavalry, currency, and stamped paper, as well as a state band that included Africans.

Fatma Begum (1892–1983), one of the early superstars of Hindi cinema and India's first female film director, was allegedly married to Nawab Sidi Ibrahim Muhammad Yakut Khan III of Sachin State. But Sachin royal family sources cast a veil over this[2] claiming no record of a marriage or contract having taken place between the Nawab and Fatima Bai or of the Nawab having officially recognised their children, Sultana, Zubeida and Shehzadi, as his own.[3] Sultana, the daughter of Fatima Begum,[4] became a leading figure in early Indian movies.[5] Zubeida, leading actress of India's first talkie film Alam Ara (1931), was her younger sister.[6]

Nawab Sidi Ibrahim Muhammad Yakut Khan III, Sachin State's last ruler, signed the accession to join the Indian Union on 8 March 1948. The state then became part of Surat district in Bombay Province.[7][8][9]

After the Partition of India, Zubaida stayed in India, while her sister Sultana moved to Pakistan where she married and had a daughter, Jamila Razzaq, who became a prominent Pakistani actress in the decade between the mid-1950s and the mid-1960s.[10]

Rulers edit

The rulers of Sachin State bore the title 'Nawab' and were granted the right of a 9 gun salute by the British authorities.[11]
