History

Bhoosania (भूसनिया) Bhusania (भूसनिया) Bhusaniya (भूसनिया) gotra of Jats started after place named Bhusawar (भुसावर).

In January 1709 Churaman entered into an agreement with Jay Singh, looking to the possibilities of victory of Rajputs in wars of Sambhar and Kaman and Bahadurshah’s intention to compromise with them. Under the garb of agreement Churaman intensified his campaign to abolish Rajput Zamindars and capturing back the Jat areas occupied by Kachwahas. He succeeded in getting back Sogar, Bhusawar, Kaman, Khohari, Kot, Khunthare, Ithera, Jadila and Chaugdara.

Jat-Maratha rapprochement: c. June 1757

G.C. Dwivedi writes... About the middle of May, 1757, Raghunathrao sent a force of 20,000 under his chief agent Sakharam Bapu, with Vithal Shivdev, Gangadhar [p.199]: Tatya and Antaji, in the direction of Agra. Reaching the taluka of Wair, they demanded the old dues from the Jat Raja. Vithal Shivdev, the deputy of the Holkar in the governorship of Agra, and the Jat plenipotentiary Rup Ram Kataria began negotiations on 27th May at Bhusawar (a nearby place). The Maratha deputy insisted on the full administrative and financial control of the suba. Eventually, a "friendly settlement" was effected between the two sides under which the Jat King was allowed to retain his annexations, including the fort of Agra, on the condition of his paying the installments of the outstanding tribute of 1754.
