History

1290-1315: The Khiljis had the regional administrative center of the Chanderi province at Batihadim (Batiagarh) which was transferred to Damova (Damoh). Damoh fort inscription.

14th century: Muslim rule inscriptions at Salaiya and Batiyagarh mention Khilji and Tuglaq as Sultans.

Damoh rose to importance in the 14th century. An inscription was discovered at Batiagadh of the year V.S 1385 = 1328 AD which records Muslims as Sakas. It mentions Muhammad Tuglak. It tells us that Delhi was also known by the name Yoginipura.[1] This historic town was the erstwhile headquarters of the Khojas before the center of power was transferred to Damoh. The Khojas had the regional administrative center of the Chanderi province at Batihadim (Batiagarh) which was transferred to Damova (Damoh). Damoh was the seat of Maratha governors.

Tej Ram Sharma mentions about Kharaparikas (खरपरिक) (No. 1, L. 22) : One of the tribes who were subjugated by Samudragupta. D. R. Bhandarkar takes them to be the Kharparas (खरपर) mentioned in the Batihagadh Inscription[2] of the Damoh district of M.P. Kharpara means a thief, a rogue or a cheat. The name Kharaparika does not occur elsewhere in inscriptions or literature. The Markandeya Purana mentions a tribe called Khara-sagara-rāśis, along with the Gandharas and the Yaudheyas; and the Matsya Purana refers to a country named Kharapatha, watered by the river Nalini. It is difficult to say whether Khara-sagara-rasi and Kharapatha (खरपथ) had anything to do with the Kharaparikas. K.P. Jayaswal expresses the probability of the identification of the Kharaparikas with the five Karpaṭas of the Mahabharata.[3]

बटियागढ़

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[4] ने लेख किया है .....बटियागढ़, जिला दमोह, म.प्र., (AS, p.602): मध्य प्रदेश का एक ऐतिहासिक स्थान है। इस स्थान पर विक्रम संवत 1385 ई. (=1328 ई.) का एक अभिलेख प्राप्त हुआ था (एपिग्राफिका इंडिया-12,42) जिसके बारे में विशेष बात यह है कि इसमें मुस्लिमों को शक कहा गया है। इस स्थान से प्राप्त अभिलेख में मुहम्मद तुग़लक़ का उल्लेख है। मुहम्मद तुग़लक़ के समय में सुल्तान की ओर से जुलचीख़ाँ नामक सूबेदार चंदेरी में नियुक्त था और सूवेदार का नायक बटियागढ़ में रहता था। उस समय इस नगर को बटिहाड़िम या बड़िहारिन कहते थे। प्राप्त अभिलेख में दिल्ली का एक नाम 'जोगिनीपुर' भी दिया हुआ है। एक दूसरा शिलालेख विक्रम संवत 1381 (=1324 ई.) का यहाँ के प्राचीन महल के खंडहरों में मिला है, जिसमें गयासुद्दीन तुगलक का उल्लेख है, जिसके सूबेदार ने इस महल को बनवाया था।

बटियागढ़ : यह दमोह के उत्तर पश्चिम में 34 किलोमीटर दूर बांक नदी के किनारे बसा ऐतिहासिक महत्व का स्थान है. यह पहले मुगलों का तथा बाद में मराठों के परगना का केंद्र रहा था. [5]

Damoh Sati Inscriptions

Batihagarh Persian stone Inscription 1324 AD

(Deposited in the Deputy Commissioner's Bungalow.)

It records the foundation of a palace (?) in the reign of Ghiyāsuddin-ud-duniyā in the year 725 A. H. (A. D. 1324). If the date is correct, this man must have been the Tughalak king who reigned between 1320 and 1325 A. D. But if this Ghiyasuddin is identical with that of the Damoh Inscription No. 72, the Hijri year will have to be corrected. It is, however, possible that both may have ruled Damoh in their own times.

Batihagarh stone Inscription of the Vikrama Year 1385 (1328 AD)

(Deposited in the Nagpur Museum?)

Batihagarh is a village 21 miles north-west of Damoh. The inscription refers itself to Jallala Khoja, a local Muhammadan Governor at Batihadim (the present Batihagarh). It states that Jallala was the representative of Hisamuddin, son of Julachi, who was appointed Commander of the Kharapara armies and Governor of Chedi country by Sultan Mahmud of Yoginipura or Delhi. This Mahmud must be Nasiruddin Mahmud of the Slave dynasty who reigned between 1246 and 1266 A. D. It was in 1251 that he conquered Chanderi and Malava and appointed a Governor there.1 The mention of Kharapara armies gives importance to this record. They are apparently identical with the Kharaparikas of Samudragupta's inscription on the Allahabad pillar. They must have been a powerful tribe to deserve mention by that great Emperor in the 4th Century A.D. The record is dated in the Vikrama year corresponding to 1328 A.D.

Batihagarh undated stone Inscription 1328 AD

(Deposited in Deputy Commissioner's Bungalow)

The inscription records the construction of a garden and well at Khalchipur during the times of Jallala. It is undated, but must have been written after Samvat 1385 (A.D. 1328), as a number of verses have been copied from the Batihagarh inscription of that date.
