The ancestors of the founders of Indore were the chief hereditary Zamindar's and indigenous landholders (Jehangirdars) of Malwa. This family ruled vast tracts of Malwa that extended from the confines of Rajputana on the North to the Narmada in the South. In Mughal times, the founders of these families received the titles of Rao and Chaudhari. Eventually, control of Malwa passed to the Peshwa clan, and the Chaudharies came to be known as "Mandloi"s (derived from Mandals) because of the language they used and eventually the Holkars conferred the family with the title of Rao Raja.
