NABHA , a native state of India, within the Punjab. Area, 966 sq. m. Pop. (1901) 297,949. Its territories are scattered; one section, divided into twelve
separate
  tracts, lies among the territories of Patiala and
Jind
 , in the
east
  and
south
  of the Punjab; the other section is in the extreme
south
 -
east
 . The whole of the territories belong physically to a plain; but they vary in character from the
great
  fertility of the Pawadh region to the aridity of the Rajputana desert. Nabha is one of the Sikh
' Compare 2 Cor. Xi. 32. The Nabataean Aretas or Aeneas there mentioned reigned from 9 B.C. to A.D. 40.states, founded by a member of the Phulkian family, which established its independence about 1763. The first relations of the state with the British were in 1807-1808, when the raja obtained protection against the threatened encroachments of Ranjit Singh. During the Mutiny in 1857 the raja showed distinguished loyalty, and was rewarded by grants of territory to the value of over 1o,000. The imperial service troops of the raja Hira Singh (b. c. 1843; succeeded in 1871) did good service during the
Tirah
  campaign of 1897-98. The
chief
  products of the state are wheat, millets, pulses,
cotton
  and sugar. The estimated
gross
  revenue is 1oo,000; no tribute is paid. The territory is crossed by the main line and also by several branches of the North-Western railway, and is irrigated by the Sirhind canal.
The town of Nabha, founded in 1755, has a station on the Rajpura-Bhatinda branch of the North-Western railway. Pop. (1901) 18,4.68.
See Phulkian States Gazetteer (Lahore, 1909).
