RAJPIPLA.

This family is said to be derived from Chokarana, son of Saidawat, Raja of Ujein, a Rajput of the Parmar tribe.

This family is descended from Pathai Rawal, the last Chowan Chief of Champaner. This Chief was taken prisoner by Mahomed Shah Begara, and, refusing to turn Musalman, was murdered. His son Pertab Singh then escaped to Hauf, a small hamlet amongst the almost inaccessible hills bordering the Narbadda. Here for forty years he harassed the surrounding country, till at last the Guzerat Sublia conferred upon him the chauth of Halol and Kalol.
