Kutch State acceded to the Indian Union on 16 August immediately after the Independence Day in 1947. The ruler, Vijayraj ji was ill and receiving treatment in London, but his son, prince Meghraj alias Madan Singh signed the instrument of accession. The Indian government appointed Mr Chhotalal Desai as the Chief Commissioner. Maharao Vijayraj ji died on 26 January 1948 and Meghraj ji succeeded him as Maharao Madan Singh ji, to rule for a short while till 1 June 1948 when the administration of the state was completely merged in India. At the time of his accession, coins were struck in Madan Singhji’s name in silver, gold and copper. Keeping in with the tradition of the mention of the imperial Paramountcy on the reverse of the coins, a reference to ‘Victory to India’ (Jai Hind) was made on these coins, since the Government of India now had paramount power over Kutch State. This marks a unique instance when Kutch, as a member of the old princely feudal order, paid a tribute to the nascent Indian Union acknowledging its sovereign status.
