Royal standard of the Nawab of Baoni.^[2]

Baoni State was a princely state in India during the British Raj. It was a small sanad state, the only Muslim-ruled one in Bundelkhand Agency. Its ruler was granted the right to an 11-gun salute. The Baoni royal family claim to be descendants of the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Hyderabad, tracing its origins to Abu Bakr, the first Islamic caliph.^[3]

Baoni was located in the Betwa-Yamuna doab, Uttar Pradesh, with Kadaura as its seat of government. The state was bounded on the north by the district of Cawnpore, in the west by the district of Jalaun and to the south and east by the district of Hamirpur of the United Provinces —as well as a little part in the south-east by Beri State.^[4] Baoni had a population of 19,780 inhabitants in 1901, of whom 87% were Hindu and 12% Muslim.^[4]

Descendants and Current Rulers

The princely state is no longer existent due to its annexation by India during the partition. Due to this, there are no current rulers of the state and the descendants of the royal family remain scattered. There is a known descendant of Nawab Syed Mohammed Mushtaq Al Hassan Khan Bahadur, through his granddaughter, Sikandar Begum and her daughter named Sajaadi Begum who was named Muhammad Hamid Khan. He fled to Pakistan during the partition and has many descendants living in Pakistan and Canada. His paternal line being from him to his son Hammad Khan and his grandson Ayaan Khan.
