History

Lepel H. Griffin writes:

The defeat of the Bhattis on advantage to Pattiala:

The overthrow of the Bhattis by the English removed the last barrier to Pattiala encroachments ; and that State immediately made the most of the opportunity. In 1821, passing over the belt of waste land, she planted an outpost of 20 soldiers in the village of Gudhah, within 14 miles of the British Police post at Sirsa, and waited to see if this audacity would be noticed. No remark was made, and, the next year, the post was further strengthened by a detachment of 40 horse; and, in 1823, cultivators were brought from the interior of Pattiala and induced by large rewards to appropriate and cultivate the surrounding waste. Similarly, in 1827, the Maharaja of Pattiala took possession of Ubohar, sixty miles to the north-west of Gudhah, repaired the fortifications and began to found villages and occupy all the neighbouring country.
