Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.

| Praful Khoda Patel | 2019 – 2019 | under a year | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 2019 – 2019. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
