History
Idar was ruled by Rajputs. In 1924 it was made part of the Western India States Agency. It was transferred to the Rajputana States in the early 1940s. In 1949 it was dissolved and split between Sabar Kantha district and Mehsana district which were at that point in Bombay State. Both these districts were included in Gujarat when it was formed in 1960.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
