Jorawarl Mal also became a close friend of the famous Col. Tod, who writes about him in his "Annals and Antiquities of Rajputana". Around 1819, the house of Mewar was in deep financial trouble. Yearly raids by the Marathas had depleted the treasury and the Maharana was unable to deal with the situation. Upon the recommendation of Col Tod, Maharana Bhim Singh invited Seth Jorawarmal Bapna to Udaipur in 1819 and appointed him "Nagar Seth" and also the state treasurer. Seth Jorawar Mal Bapna stayed in Udaipur for a few years and in a short period turned around the finances of the state of Mewar and also advanced the Maharana a sum of Rs. 20 Lakhs out of which he forgave about Rs. 12 Lakhs. His work done, he set up his sons, Sultanmal Bapna and Chandan Mal Bapna in Seth Ji Ri Haveli in Udaipur and asked the Maharana to allow him to leave

. In 1892 the new Maharana Fateh Singh, used Seth Chhog Mal Bapna to teach the British Government a lesson. It was well known that since the days of Seth Jorawar Mal Bapna, the Nagar Seths of Udaipur were highly respected by the British Government and the British AGG and the British Resident. There developed a dispute between the Resident Agent and the Maharana. On the instigation of certain court officials such as Kothari Balwant Rai, the Maharana manufactured a false charge against Seth Chhog Mal Bapna and ordered the confiscation of his Jagir (the village of Parsoli), his shops, his goods and his property, essentially rendering him bankrupt. The British Resident Agent attempted to intervene, but the British Viceroy refused to intervene out of larger political considerations. Seth Chhog Mal Bapna's personal effects were auctioned off and he died while the auction was still going on. Seth Chhog Mal Bapna had three sons, who now were all on the street, overnight going from one of the richest families in India to being penniless. His second son, Siremal Bapna was a brilliant student and he continued his studies with the help of his father in law, Mehta Jagannath Singh, the Prime Minister of Mewar and successfully completed his law degree standing first in the university and winning a gold medal. Siremal Bapna became the Prime Minister of Holkar state and excelled at being an administrator. He became well known in his time and was Prime Minister of states such as Ratlam, Alwar, Bikaner and home minister of Patiala State. He was the Indian Ambassador to the League of Nations and the Indian Delegate in the Round Table Conference in London with Mahatma Gandhi. He was knighted by the British and came to be known as Sir Siremal Bapna. His honesty and generosity were legendary and he gave away all his money, to a point where when he retired as Prime Minister, he did not have his own house to live in, an example unheard of in Modern India. Sir Siremal Bapna died in Indore in 1964. The grateful city of Indore honored Sir Siremal Bapna by erecting a statue of him in a public square. Sir Siremal had two sons, Kalyan Mal Bapna and Pratap Singh Bapna. Both were prominent bureaucrats in Holker State. After independence, Pratap Singh Bapna was awarded the IAS and he became a powerful, Chief Secretary level officer in the government of MP. His achievements in service are legendary and his name is mentioned in various Administrative Manuals of MP. After retirement, Pratap Singh Bapna continued his public service and conceived of a highly innovative Water Supply Scheme for the city of Indore, by pumping water from River Narmada to Indore, a distance of about 50 miles. He was made the Chairman of the Narmada Advisory Committee by the then Chief Minister of MP, Shyama Charan Shukla and under Pratap Singh Bapna's leadership the project went off without a hitch, on time and on schedule. This was the last successfully executed public works project in Indore until now, which completed without any corruption and on time. Pratap Singh Bapna served on the Senate of Devi Ahilya University and he had an integral role in bringing the university to Indore. He was also a founder member of the Govind Ram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science Society, being instrumental in the formation of that institution. He was the chairmen of various trusts and charities and dies in his sleep on 20 June 1992. Pratap Singh Bapna's elder son, Rajendra Singh Bapna resides in Indore in retirement and his only son Upendra Singh Bapna manages the family affairs. Upendra Singh Bapna is married to Kalpana Bapna and they have two children, Jai Pratap Singh Bapna who is an undergraduate at University of Southern California in Los Angeles USA and Monika Bapna who is an undergraduate at Georgetown University in Washington DC. The Bapna family also worships Sachiya Mata as their Kul Devi. The family also has a Dharamshaalaa in Palitana by the name of Chand Bhavan.


Baphnas of Tiloli, Bhilwara

Tiloli also known as Tilakpuri in some official records is a small village within Asind tehsil of Bhilwara district in Mewar region of Rajasthan, India. The village is situated around 60 km north east of Bhilwara district headquarters in the foothills of Aravali range. Village's demography consists of people of various castes predominantly Hindu with a very influential Jain community. The patriarch of Tiloli's Baphna family, Jodhraj Baphna was one of the Mewar's regions better established merchant. He was regarded as the ‘Nagar Seth’ of the Asind area. The history of Baphna clan prior to Jodhraj Baphna is rather sketchy and speculations are that few generations before Jodhraj Baphna; as Tiloli was being founded, the Baphnas may have migrated from one of the nearby regions (Tiloli is strategically at the cusp of both Mewar and Marwar regions) to fill in the traders’ roles. With the patronage of Tiloli's Thakurs and their own industriousness they rose to become the most prominent family of the area. All of the Jains in Tiloli are followers of Acharya Bhikshu's and his successors who follow Shwetamber Terapanthi traditions. Some other prominent families are that of Chordias, Gokhrus, Naulakahs and Bumbs. Jodhraj Baphna had many sons and daughters but the record is available only for only one of his five sons. The names of his five sons in the order of their seniority are Rikhab Das, Lobh Chand, Lal Chand, Har Lal and Megh Raj. Rikhab Das inherited the mantle of taking the family business forward. There is not much information available as of today about the lives and subsequent family trees of these brothers except that of second son Lobh Chand. Lobh Chand had three sons who reached adulthood and theirs names (in order) are Suva Lal, Fateh Lal and Moti Lal. Suva Lal had two sons Devilal and Rajmal from his first wife Nani Bai, and three sons, Ambalal, Ganeshlal, Mishrilal and a daughter Sugan Bai with his second wife Dhapu Bai. Two of his older sons from Dhapu Bai namely Ambalal and Ganeshlal were adopted by his younger brother Fateh Lal who didn't have any sons or daughters of his own. Not much information is available about Moti Lal. Rajmal Baphna married Gattu Bai and had three sons HarakChand, Chandmal and Moolchand and a daughter Jeth Kanwar. GattuBai lived to be over 95 years old and her life touched five generations of Baphnas. Jeth Kanwar was married early but her life took a tragic turn when she lost her husband at an early age. She then turned more religious and exhibited a desire to get enunciated into Jain ascetic way of life (monkhood). At an appropriate time, she took a diksha and formally became a Jain nun who in time rose to become one of the most celebrated nuns (Maharasa) of Shwetamber Jain traditions. Harak Chand started his own business of cotton trading. He ultimately moved from Tiloli to another nearby town ‘Bijainagar’ (also known as Vijaynagar) in Ajmer district of Marwar region and lived most of his life there where he raised his own four sons and a daughter. His four sons are Madan Lal who is a retired school principal settled in Ajmer, Manohar Lal who is a retired Bank Manager (erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan Ltd.) settled in Bhilwara, Late Dr. Prem Chand who was a prominent eye surgeon of Bhilwara area and Tara Chand who is AGM of a private firm in Bengaluru area. Harak Chand's only daughter Lad Bai (also known as Priti) is married to Sudarshan Khabya who retired as DGM of erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan Ltd. and currently lives in Jaipur.
