Kurwai was formerly a Muslim princely state of British India. The state was 368 km² in area and in 1892 boasted a population of 30,631. The state, which came under British sovereignty in the early nineteenth century, was founded in 1713 by Mohammed Diler Khan, an Afghan pashtun from the Orakzai tribe rising through merit in the Mughal Army. Diler Khan was a cousin of Dost Muhammad Khan, who founded the nearby Bhopal State.[2] His descendants ruled the state until 15 June 1948, when the last ruling Nawab acceded to the Indian Government. Kurwai became part of the newly created state of Madhya Bharat, and was added to Vidisha District. Madhya Bharat was merged into Madhya Pradesh on 1 November 1956.
