Tervada

Tervada is a village in Kankrej Taluka of Banaskantha district in Gujarat, India.

Under the Gujarat Sultanate of Ahmedabad, Tervada together with Radhanpur, Morbi, Sami, Munjpur Kankrej, Santalpur, and Tharad, came into the hands of Fateh Khan and Rustam Khan Baloch darbar, members of one of the most powerful families of Gujarat nobles who probably came from Sindh.

With Tervada as their headquarters, the Baloch family continued to hold these lands till, early in the eighteenth century, they were taken by Nawab Kamal-ud-din Khan Babi, and confirmed to him by the Viceroy Mubariz-ul-Mulk (1723- 1730) of Jhalori family of Palanpur.

[1] During the eighteenth century, besides the parts made over to the Babi family, much of the Tervada estate was filched away from the weakened head of the house by his Koli Thakor and other neighbours.

These were, in 1822, confirmed to Baloch Khan as the Nawab of Radhanpur failed to disprove his claim.
