History

The town of Sunel is situated in the south-eastern region of Rajasthan, a region widely known as Malva, the land of malwas. The Malva is a region in the jhalawar district.

Sunel was merged on 1 November 1956. Reason for merging was that it was far from its then Bhanpura tehsil as well its then Mandsaur territory. Jhalawar state got rise as a result of a treaty between English rulers, Kota state, and Malwa state.
