How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by new Indian state of Madhya, 1947. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
After Indian Independence in 1947, the Scindia rulers acceded to the new Union of India, and Gwalior state was absorbed into the new Indian state of Madhya Bharat.

Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jivajirao Scindia I of Gwalior | 1925 – 1948 | 23 years | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1925 – 1948. Only 23 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Flags and arms, in order
Each symbol with the years its own statement gives; the timeline flies the one of the year on screen.
