Kurwai

Kurwai, also spelled Kurwahi, was a small princely state in India, part of the Bundelkhand Agency during the British Raj. It was located in what is now the state of Madhya Pradesh.

The state was founded in 1759 by Muhammad Diler Khan, an Afghan adventurer who claimed descent from the Bangash dynasty of Farrukhabad. He was granted the jagir of Kurwai by the Maratha Peshwa. Over time, the jagir evolved into a princely state under British protection.

The rulers of Kurwai were Muslims and held the title of Nawab. The state's economy was primarily agricultural.

Kurwai was a relatively small and unimportant state, and its history is largely uneventful. It acceded to the Union of India in 1948, after India's independence, and was later integrated into the state of Madhya Pradesh.
