Q. Which family was historically associated with the Parola jagir in Maharashtra?
Answer: Newalkar family
Notes: Parola, in Jalgaon district, was the jagir of the Newalkar family—relatives of Rani Lakshmibai. Jahagirdar Sadashiv Rao Damodar Newalkar built Parola Fort in 1726. The British dismantled it in 1859. Newalkars significantly influenced local and Maratha history, linking Parola to Jhansi's royal heritage.
