Dabhade

Dabhade (Pronunciation: [d̪abʱaːɖe]) surname signifies Maratha[1] and Koli[2] clans found largely in Maharashtra, India. The Maratha Dabhades were originally centered on Talegaon Dabhade (in present-day Maharashtra), but became the chiefs of Gujarat. They held the hereditary title of Senapati (commander-in-chief) and several jagirs in Gujarat until 1751. That year, Umabai Dabhade and her relatives were arrested for a rebellion against the Peshwa, and were stripped of their titles.
