Sardargardh and Bantva were princely states.[1] Founded in 1733 by Khan Shri Sherzamankhanji Babi youngest son of Nawab Saheb Salabat Muhammadkhan Babi of Junagadh State, on the Kathiawar peninsula in Gujarat, India, they had an area of approximately 186 km2, and contained 13 primarily Muslim villages. It was a non-salute state.
Upon independence in 1947, the princely states were forced to join either India or Pakistan. Sardargardh Bantva acceded to Pakistan in September 1947, and then rescinded the accession and re-acceded to India on 15 February 1948. The last ruler was Khan shri Hussain Yavarkhanji babi.
