History

Chandap was a petty princely state, also comprising three more villages. It was a Matadari village without Chieftains and part of the Gadhwara thana, in Mahi Kantha and rules by Koli shareholders.[2]

It had a combined population of 588 in 1901, yielding a state revenue of 546 Rupees (1903-4, only from land) and paid double tribute: 71 Rupees to the Gaekwar Baroda State and 217 Rupees to Idar State.[2]

Rebellion

In September 1857, Koli chieftain of Chandap Nathuji Koli revolted against British Raj and collected a Koli army of numbering 2000 souls.[3] The Kolis of Chandup killed the ten horsemen of Baroda State and challenged the authority.[4] The Koli rebels and Nathaji were joined by Koli chieftain of Khanpur named Thakur Soorajmal.[5] The Government took a stiff attitude against koli rebels and the Kolis under the leadership of Nathaji continued their resistance from the hills. Chandap was rehabited on the new site but there were only a few Kolis. On a doubt of helping the Koli rebels, 14 inhabitants of Chandap were apprehended by the Government, but after long enquiry they were released on account of lack of information.[1]
