The Sachin State ((グジャラート語:સચીન રિયાસત); (ウルドゥー語:سچن ریاست)) was a princely state belonging to the Surat Agency, former Khandesh Agency, of the Bombay Presidency during the era of the British Raj. Its capital was in Sachin, the southernmost town of present-day Surat district of Gujarat State. == History == Sachin state was founded on 6 June 1791. Although over 85% of the subjects were Hindu, the state was ruled by Sunni Muslims of the Sidi dynasty of Danfa-Rajpuri and Janjira State. The Sidi dynasty was of African origin. Sachin State was under the protection of the Maratha Peshwa until it became a British protectorate. The state became bankrupt in 1829 and during the period between 1835 and 1864 the state was under British civil administration. It had its own cavalry, currency, and stamped paper, as well as a state band that included Africans. Fatima Begum (1892 - 1983), one of the early superstars in Indian 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〔(RoyalArk - Princely State of Sachin 3 )〕 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.〔(Sachin Princely State (9 gun salute) )〕 Sultana, the daughter of Fatima Begum, became a leading figure in early Indian movies.〔(Indian films and posters from 1930 )〕 Zubeida, leading actress of India's first talkie film Alam Ara (1931), was her younger sister. 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.〔Hunter, Sir William Wilson. ''The Imperial Gazetteer of India.'' London, Trübner & Co., 1885〕〔Malleson, G. B. ''An historical sketch of the native states of India,'' London 1875, Reprint Delhi 1984〕 After the Partition 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.〔(Jamila Razzaq and Zubaida )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sachin State」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
