Location of Gohad

Gohad (गोहद), also Gohud, is a town of historical importance of Bhind district in Madhya Pradesh in India. According to Alexander Cunningham and William Cook, Bamraulia gotra Jats from village Bamrauli Katara (near Agra) in 1505 founded the city Gohad near Gwalior. Later it developed into an important Jat state. The Jat rulers of Gohad were awarded the title of Rana.

Early history

Location of Gohad in Bhind District

Not much is known about the early history of Bamraulia Jat rulers of Gohad. According to their bard[1], These Jats founded a village called Bamrauli Kheda in Yudhisthira samvat 192 (=2946 BC) on the banks of Chenab River in Punjab, where Raja Brahmdev was the ruler. Later Roop Chand ruled in Jattali Province, Hari Chandra in Rudrakot (Taxak Kot), Prithvidev in Kankhal, Shaldev in Marwar, and Jaydev in Haridwar. Raja Jait Singh ruled Garh Bairath and Birandev in Tuhingarh. Sinhandev ruled in Pachokhara. Later Jats made Gohad as their permanent capital in year 1368.[2][3]

The title of Rana was given to Gohad rulers by Anangpal Tomar himself in 1068. Founders of Baraulia Jat Dynasty were offshoots of Tomars/Tuars of Delhi. [4]

According to Rajputana Gazetteer Raja Jait Singh ruled Garh Bairath near Alwar in Rajasthan and Birandev in Tuhingarh as Jagirs offered by Tomar rulers of Delhi during eleventh century. Raja Chaharpal Dev Tomar died in battle of Tarain in 1192 and their rule at Delhi vanished, the Jat rulers left the plains and moved to remote areas in search of new grounds. The Jat rulers first settled at Bamrauli Katara village near Agra and later moved to Pachokhara in year 1367 due to differences with Mugal subedar Muneer Muhammad. [5] When they were inhabiting at village Barthara near Gohad, they established marital relations with Jat Bisotia thakurs. In the fifth generation of Ratanpal Bamraulia, Raja Man Singh Tomar awarded them the zamindari of Gohad and the title of Rana in 1505 AD.[6][7]

In 1523 AD Ibrahim Lodi defeated Vikramaditya Tomar and captured Gwalior Fort. After the fall of Tomars at Gwalior, the Jats declared themselves independent. [8]

The Ranas were zamindars or Landholders of Gohad, then a small village 28 miles north east of the fortress of Gwalior. They belonged to the Jat caste, they were industrious and of a very warlike disposition. [9]

Maharaja Bhim Singh Chhatri at Gwalior Fort

By the exercise of these qualities the family brought themselves between the years 1725 and 1740 to the prominent notice of the Peshwa, Bajirao, and amid the lawlessness and disruptions of the times, managed to assume a quasi independence as lords of Gohad under suzerainty of Marathas. The chief, (Bhim Singh Rana), who accomplished this feat died about the middle of the 18th century, and was succeeded by his nephew. He, (Chhatra Singh Rana), being likewise a clear headed man, contrived to enlarge his borders. With a wise prescience he held aloof from the great struggle for empire between the Marhatas and the warriors from the north, and when the fatal day of Panipat (1761) had completely overwhelmed the former, he showed his sense of the importance of the defeat by proclaiming himself Rana of Gohad, and seizing the fortress of Gwalior.

गोहद

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[12] ने लेख किया है ...गोहद (AS, p.307) जिला भिंड मध्य प्रदेश, ग्वालियर के उत्तर-पूर्व की ओर है. 18 वीं सदी में यह जाट रियासत थी. इसके पूर्व की ओर ग्वालियर रियासत, पश्चिम में काली सिंध, उत्तर में यमुना और दक्षिण में सिरमौर की पहाड़ियां हैं. गोहद नरेशों तथा मराठों में बराबर लड़ाई-झगड़ा बना रहता था. 1765 ई. में गोहाद नरेश छत्रसाल ने होलकर का डटकर सामना किया था. गोहद में उत्तरमध्यकालीन इमारतों [p.308]: के ध्वंसावशेष स्थित हैं.

जाट इतिहास

ठाकुर देशराज[13] ने लिखा है ....[पृ.561]: भाट ग्रन्थों का कहना है शिव के प्रसिद्ध गण वीरभद्र की चार स्त्रियां थी। उनमें आशादेवी से सोनभद्र और स्वर्णभद्र, भद्रादेवी से पवनभद्र, अलका देवी से झषभद्र, और मायादेवी से धीरभद्र नामक पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए।

धीरभद्र के पुत्र रुद्रदेव ने कश्मीर में रूद्रकोट नाम का नगर बसाया। रूद्रभद्र के आगे ब्रह्मभद्र, कर्णभद्र, जयभद्र, ताम्रभद्र, ज्ञानभद्र, चक्रभद्र पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी राजा इस वंश में हुए। चक्रभद्र के 2 पुत्र नागभद्र और वज्रभद्र।

नागभद्र को कर्कोटक नाग की बेटी ब्याही गई। उससे उत्पन्न होने वाले तक्षक कहलाए और तक्षशिला नगरी बसाई।

नागभद्र के दूसरे भाई वज्रभद्र क्रीटभद्र, चंद्रभद्र, रोरभद्र, कोकभद्र, तमालभद्र, मेपभद्र, पुलिंगभद्र, पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी राजा हुए। इनमें पुलिंगभद्र ने कश्मीर से हटकर गंगा किनारे मायापुरी नामका नगर बसाया जो आगे चलकर हरिद्वार के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हुआ।

इनसे आगे इस वंश में तुंगभद्र, पूर्णभद्र, तेजभद्र, राजभद्र, मेघभद्र और (द्वितीय) स्वर्णभद्र हुए। स्वर्णभद्र की 40 वी पीढ़ी में राणा हरिआदित्य हुए। मायापुरी नगरी इन्हीं के नाम पर हरिद्वार के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हुई। हरिआदित्य भीम द्वारा पांडवों की राज सूर्य दिग्विजय में मारे गए।

राणा हरिआदित्य जी की 16वीं पीढ़ी के राजा पेजसर ने हरिद्वार को छोड़ दिया और यमुना के तटवर्ती इलाके में उनकी संतान के लोगों ने आबादी की।

[पृ.562]: उधर संघ विजय ने 270 वर्ष पंजाब पर सिकंदर के हमले में तक्षक वंशी राजा वीरसिंह लड़ते हुए मारे गए। उनके दो पुत्र थे: 1. अमरसेन और 2. मदनसेन। अमरसेन अभिसार का अधिपति था। ज्ञात होता है कि यूनानी लेखकों ने अमरसेन (अभिसार) को ही आम्भी लिखा है।

अमरसेन (अभिसार) के दो पुत्र विजयदेव और स्वर्णदेव थे। इससे आगे की कई पीढ़ियों का पता नहीं चलता।

संवत 875 (818 ई.) में करकदेव अभिसार (पंजाब) को छोड़कर दौंदरखेड़े में आ गए और यह लोग दोंदेरिया नाम से मशहूर हुए।


10 वीं सदी में इन लोगों ने निषध (नरवर) देश और सिंध नदी के आसपास के 96 गांव पर कब्जा कर लिया और धीरे-धीरे कई किले बना लिए।

दौंदेरिया लोगों के साथ और खानदान इधर आए जिनमें से कुछ ने किटोरा राज्य की नींव डाली। उधर गोहद की ओर वीरभद्र की उस शाखा से लोगों ने जो हरिद्वार में थे और यमुना तट पर आ चुके थे अपना राज्य जमाया और गोहद राज्य में एक बड़ा इलाका शामिल कर लिया।

तेजाजी के पूर्वज

संत श्री कान्हाराम[14] ने लिखा है कि.... [पृष्ठ-62] : रामायण काल में तेजाजी के पूर्वज मध्यभारत के खिलचीपुर के क्षेत्र में रहते थे। कहते हैं कि जब राम वनवास पर थे तब लक्ष्मण ने तेजाजी के पूर्वजों के खेत से तिल खाये थे। बाद में राजनैतिक कारणों से तेजाजी के पूर्वज खिलचीपुर छोडकर पहले गोहद आए वहाँ से धौलपुर आए थे। तेजाजी के वंश में सातवीं पीढ़ी में तथा तेजाजी से पहले 15वीं पीढ़ी में धवल पाल हुये थे। उन्हीं के नाम पर धौलिया गोत्र चला। श्वेतनाग ही धोलानाग थे। धोलपुर में भाईयों की आपसी लड़ाई के कारण धोलपुर छोडकर नागाणा के जायल क्षेत्र में आ बसे।

[पृष्ठ-63]: तेजाजी के छठी पीढ़ी पहले के पूर्वज उदयराज का जायलों के साथ युद्ध हो गया, जिसमें उदयराज की जीत तथा जायलों की हार हुई। युद्ध से उपजे इस बैर के कारण जायल वाले आज भी तेजाजी के प्रति दुर्भावना रखते हैं। फिर वे जायल से जोधपुर-नागौर की सीमा स्थित धौली डेह (करणु के पास) में जाकर बस गए। धौलिया गोत्र के कारण उस डेह (पानी का आश्रय) का नाम धौली डेह पड़ा। यह घटना विक्रम संवत 1021 (964 ई.) के पहले की है। विक्रम संवत 1021 (964 ई.) में उदयराज ने खरनाल पर अधिकार कर लिया और इसे अपनी राजधानी बनाया। 24 गांवों के खरनाल गणराज्य का क्षेत्रफल काफी विस्तृत था। तब खरनाल का नाम करनाल था, जो उच्चारण भेद के कारण खरनाल हो गया। उपर्युक्त मध्य भारत खिलचीपुर, गोहाद, धौलपुर, नागाणा, जायल, धौली डेह, खरनाल आदि से संबन्धित सम्पूर्ण तथ्य प्राचीन इतिहास में विद्यमान होने के साथ ही डेगाना निवासी धौलिया गोत्र के बही-भाट श्री भैरूराम भाट की पौथी में भी लिखे हुये हैं।

Pachaira War

The ancestor of Bamraulis Jagdeo Singh had come from Agra and stayed at Bhind which was ruled by Aniruddh Singh Bhadauria with their capital at Ater. There was war between Bamraulias and Bhadauria rulers at place called Pach'hara in which Bhadauria was defeated. This war was fought on bhado sudi 10 Friday vikram samvat 1794 (1737 AD). 12000 soldiers of Bhadaurias and 7000 soldiers of Jats took part in this war. Bhim Singh captured 11 elephants, nishans of nagaras, big canons and kept them at Chitora, Karwas, Gohad etc places in his state.[15] In 1739 AD Peshwa accepted the rights of Rana rulers on Gohad. [16][17]

The Ranas kept their capital at Pach'hara for some time and later shifted the capital to Gohad. The brother of Gohad ruler Jagdeo Singh constructed a fort here in samvat 1680 (1623 AD). [18]

After the Pachaira war there was no powerful ruler left on the south of Chambal River who could compete with Raja Bhim Singh.[19]

Gohad zamindar helps Aurangzeb

One incident has been mentioned by Ishwar Das is that when Prince Aurangzeb, on his way to oppose Dara Shikoh, came to the fords of Chambal, he found them barred by the opposite entrenchment. He was ignorant about other ferries, while the waters were deep. This perturbed Aurangzeb. At this critical juncture Hathi Singh Jat, a zamindar of Gohad, came forward to lead his troops to a neglected ford (Kanira), where from Aurangzeb crossed the Chambal. Though by itself a small incident, it in one stroke turned the scales against Dara Shikoh. He had to hurry up for the Capital, leaving heavy artillery behind, which greatly weakened his position. [20] [21]

[p.109]: The unrealised dream of Suraj Mal, namely to build up a great Jat confederacy extending from the Chambal to the Ravi dominating the whole of Northern India appeared to become well-nigh an accomplished fact by the establishment of more intimate relations between Jawahar Singh and the Sikhs, the recent victory of their united forces over the Marathas under Holkar, and the successful resistance of the Sikh commonwealth against the Abdali. Success opened new vistas of aggression to Jawahar who thought of widening the confederacy further so as to include the Jats of Northern Malwa, and raise a stronger barrier to Maratha invasion. The brave Rana Chattar Sal of Gohad had been carrying on for years a heroic struggle against the Marathas. The obstinate courage and undaunted spirit of the race shone no less brilliantly in Malwa than in the Punjab or Bharatpur. But they were losing ground every day, being only a handful, however brave, compared with the locust hordes, of the South. Should the Marathas succeed in over-throwing the Rana of Gohad, their full strength, Jawahar knew too well, would be pitted against him. "Proud of success over Malhar, Jawahar Singh resolved to give himself [Of his own accord?] help to the Rana [Chattar Sal] Jat, his ally, and thus finish the Marathas beyond the Chambal and outside his own country" [Wendel French MS. 65].

The Peshwa Madhu Rao viewed with alarm the growth of this formidable coalition and sent Raghunath Rao in the autumn of 1766, to retrieve the prestige of the Maratha armies in Hindustan. His army, together with those under the Holkar exceeded 60,000 horsemen, and had a choice artillery of more than 100 pieces. Raghunath began with the siege of Gohad, and made certain haughty demands upon Jawahar Singh, who was about this time suffering from a dangerous malady. As soon as he recovered, he " marched anew with the design to attack the Marathas, if they would not give up, of themselves the claims which they thought to have against him. But treason lurked in his own camp, which frustrated his object. Raghunath Rao seduced two of his principal chiefs, Anup Giri Goswain and Umrao Giri Goswain, (the leaders of the Nagas), from their allegiance

[p.110]: to the Jat Raja. The traitors promised to make Jawahir Singh a prisoner in his camp and hand him over to the Marathas, and they were to get, as a reward, certain territories in the direction of Kalpi. The spies of Jawahar Singh gave their master timely warning of this plot. At midnight Jawahar Singh got his troops ready and suddenly fell upon the camp of the Goswains. The traitors escaped with difficulty, but a considerable number of their followers were taken prisoners and their camp thoroughly pillaged. About 1400 horses, 60 elephants, 100 pieces of cannon, and other valuable booty, fell into the hands of Jawahar Singh. The dependents of the household of these two Goswains who were at Agra, Deeg and Kumher were brought to one place and kept under watch [Chahar Gulzar-i-Shujai MS.]3. About this time (Feb., 1767) Ahmad Shah Abdali made some progress in the Punjab and threatened to advance upon Delhi. Raghunath Rao and Jawahar Singh, who were equally interested in keeping the Abdali out of Hindustan, made up their quarrel in the face of this common danger. They met in friendship and adjusted their claims; the terms of the treaty were as follows:

1. The Maratha prisoners at Bharatpur, are to be released.

2. Jawahar Singh should execute a new agreement to pay up the balance of 15 lakhs of Rupees, due to Malhar Rao, after the conditions of the original agreement had been fulfilled [by the Marathas]

3. Raghunath Rao cedes to Jawahar Singh a small tract of the Rajput country, lying contiguous to the territory of the Raja on a yearly quit rent of 5 lakhs of Rupees [Pers. Cor. ii. 4-7)

The treaty was a make-shift arrangement, neither party meaning to respect it if its violation would bring greater advantages. The fear of the Abdali wore away towards the

3. Harcharan Das, author of the Chahar, makes some confusion about the date which he puts as 1179 A.H., the correct date being 1180, A.H. He estimates the gain of Jawahar as more than two krores, which, however, Wendel with perhaps greater accuracy puts as 30 lakhs. Nevertheless the account of Harcharan is substantially correct, and is corroborated by the version of Wendel, (French MS., 66).

[p.111]: middle of the year (1767) when the Sikhs considerably regained their ground. Jawahar Singh projected a campaign in the rainy season. "The country of the Raja of Atter4 and Bhant had been formerly tributary to the Marathas.... Jawahar Singh, seeing the Maratha parties so, weak, imagined that he had tere as much right as they, and took it into his head, without any other reason, to make the conquest. .. This enterprise also led him much further than he had proposed to himself. Going with superior forces to that side he seized in the rainy season (July-Sept.1767) all the dominions of the Marathas and other petty zamindars as far as Kalpi. If he had as much skill in preserving the recently conquered country, as he had success in seizing them, he could have been praised for his enterprises and would have been entirely glorious: but it is just this in which he failed more, namely in wisdom and moderation" [French MS" 66].

4. Atter is situated north-east of Gwalior and due north of Gohad. Bhant is difficult to identify. It is perhaps the same place as Binde of Rennell's atlas, lying close to Atter and to the south-east of it. The territory of the above mentioned Raja was perhaps the tract between the Chambal and the Kali Sindu rivers near their confluences with the Jamuna. These two places lie on the west and east of long. 79° and on lat. 26°-30'.

Chhatri of Gohad ruler Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana at Gwalior Fort

Historically important rulers among above Jat rulers were Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana (1717-1756) and Maharaja Chhatra Singh Rana (1757-1785).[25]

Gohad Jat rulers occupied Gwalior fort

They also occupied the Gwalior fort many times,

First Occupation - 1740 to 1756 by Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana [26],

Second Occupation - 1761 to 1767 by Maharaja Chhatra Singh Rana[27], [28] [29]

Third Occupation - 1780 to 1783 by Maharaja Chhatra Singh Rana[30]. [31]

During this period they constructed historical monuments in the Gwalior Fort -The Chhatri of Maharaja Bhim Singh and Bhimtal. Jat Samaj Kalyan Parishad Gwalior organizes Mela here on Ram Navami every year.

Bhim Singh Rana had increased his powers and was planning to expand his territories. He marched to Malwa in 1736 but came back and targeted the Gwalior Fort. Marathas were also in race to win the Gwalior Fort. The weak and easy-going Mughal satrap Alikhan, looking to the power of Jats, surrendered the fort to Bhim Singh Rana. Meanwhile there was a severe fight between Marathas and Jats to win the Gwalior Fort but Jats won and the Gwalior fort came under Jats.

Bhim Singh Rana occupied the Gwalior fort from 1740-1756. [32]


In 1756 Marathas attacked the Gwalior Fort under the leadership of Great Warrior Mahadji Rao Sahev Shinde, Yammaji Rahalkar and Motiram Bani with a huge army. There was a severe war between the Jat Army and the Maratha Army down below the fort. At one time Bhim Singh Rana was not riding horse at that time Maratha Atrao attacked Rana with sword. Bhim Singh Rana was wounded and carried out of the war site by his soldiers. He died after three days on Chaitra sudi nawami (Ram nawami) in 1756. His queen Roshani became sati. The fort came in occupation of Marathas.[33]

Chhatar Singh ascended to the throne of Gohad in 1757. Chhatar Singh had planned to recapture the Gwalior fort. He sent his trusted satrap Brajraj Singh to attack Gwalior fort. There was a war between Brajraj Singh and Maratha army under the leadership of Raghunath Rao on the banks of the Swarn Rekha River. Brajraj Singh was killed in the war but Chhatar Singh succeeded in recapturing the Gwalior fort on 4 August 1780 after defeating Marathas. After winning over the Gwalior fort he performed Yajna and gifted 4000 cows. He took number of steps of welfare of people. He constructed Chhatri of Bhim Singh in his memory near Bhim-tal on the Gwalior fort.[34]

He handed over the administration of Gwalior fort to his younger queen and came back to Gohad.

Col. G.B. Malleson[35] Madhaji therefore used all his efforts to negotiate a peace with Goddard. But Goddard was as far-sighted as Madhaji. It was necessary, he felt, to disarm so powerful an enemy with as little delay as possible. With this view, he attempted, April 3, 1780, to surprise him at Barodah. But though actually taken by surprise, Madhaji drew off his forces with consummate skill and little loss. A second attempt, made on the 19th of the same month, was even less successful, Madhaji skilfully avoiding an action. By this line of conduct he effectually gained his end — the prolongation of hostilities until after the commencement of the rainy season. He lost, however, almost immediately afterwards, the fortress of Gwaliar, then reputed impregnable, but which succumbed to the skill and daring of Captain Popham in August of that year.

Col. G.B. Malleson[36] further writes that A few months later, Madhaji, perceiving that he had everything to lose from a contest carried on within his own territory, concluded a treaty with Colonel Muir, by which he bound himself to neutrality, agreed to exercise his good offices to bring about a general peace, recovered all his territory except the fortress of Gwaliar, and obtained from the English a promise to recross the Jumna. ....That fortress the English had made over, after its capture, to the Rana of Gohad, to be by him held solely on the condition of good behaviour.

And when, towards the close of 1782, he (Madhaji) received from Warren Hastings an assurance that the English would not interfere with his plans on Delhi, he made up his mind, and at once put in action the means he had so plentifully at his command. Whilst these intrigues were pending, he made himself, in the first instance, secure in his own acknowledged dominions. To protect them the more effectually, he contrived a quarrel with the Rana of Gohad, and forced him to surrender Gwalior. [37]

Alijah Srinath Mahadji Shinde attacked the Gohad fort in the end of 1784. After a war of 2 months Alijah Srinath Mahadji occupied the Gohad fort on 27 February 1785. Rana chhatar Singh escaped to Karauli where his friend Nihal Singh Rana was a ruler. The elder brother of Nihal Singh Manikpal’s conspiracy lead to the arrest of Chhatar Singh. He was brought to Gwalior and killed here by Mahadji Sindhia through poisoning in 1785. Thus Gohad Jat kingdom was won by Marathas through conspiracy and not by bravery. [38]

After the death of Rana Chhatar Singh in 1785 entire Gohad area became a symbol of anarchy, plundering and killing for 18 years. The Jat rebels could be controlled neither by the Marathas nor by British troops. In 1789 Daulat Rao Scindia attempted to capture Gohad but could not do so. The revolutionary Jats unanimously declared Kirat Singh son of samant Tarachand of village Neerpur in 1803. Samant Tarachand was cousin brother of Rana Chhatar Singh. The coronation ceremony of Kirat Singh took place at ‘Bagathara fortress’, situated at a distance of 12 miles from Gohad, as Gohad and Gwalior were in possession of Sindhia.[39]


Later the British concluded a treaty with Jats and with their help defeated Marathas and won back Gwalior and Gohad from them. The British kept Gwalior with them and handed over Gohad to Jats in 1804.[40]

Second Anglo-Maratha War

In Second Anglo-Maratha War between Britishers and Marathas at Laswari on 1 November 1803, Lord Lake defeated Sindhia and vanished his reputation.[41] [42]In this war the Jats helped Britishers. The British army officers had affection for Jats.[43]

The treaty of Surji-Anjangaon

The War between the English and Sindhia was brought to an end by the treaty of Surji-Anjangaon, which was signed on 30th December 1803 AD. Under the terms of this treaty, the English Government obtained from Sindhia possession of the regions that had been taken from the French in the Doab, together with certain territories in central Rajasthan, and to the west, none of which is pertinent here. Mahadji Sindhia was to retain possession of all those districts ‘to the south of Gohad, of which the revenues had been collected by him in person or through some officer, nominated on his behalf, or land which was held by him for defraying the expenses of his army.

The treaty of Surji-Anjangaon gave vast powers to English in the territories of Marathas. The treaty signed by Ambaji Ingle was also implemented. Gwalior and Gohad had come to English. English signed a treaty with the successor of Gohad, Rana Kirat Singh, under which English handed over the erstwhile Gohad territory to Kirat Singh Rana in early 1804 AD.[44] [45] Kirat Singh Rana accepted Gohad and left the right on Gwalior fort in favour of English.[46]

Subsequently, a dispute arose with Sindhia concerning a clause in the treaty of Surji-Anjangaon by which he had agreed to renounce all claims on his subsidiaries with whom the English Government had made treaties. Sindhia now insisted that the Rana of Gohad could not be included under this clause, because the pretensions of that family had been extinct and their territories had been in Sindhia’s possession for the past 30 years. This was incontrovertible, and the English gave way to Sindhia’s legal argument and abandoned Gwalior and Gohad to him. In the wake of the war, the English had land north of the Chambal to resettle.

Treaty of 22 November 1805

To compensate the Rana for his loss of Gohad, and in consideration of the fact that the failure in the relevant stipulation of the treaty had arisen through no fault of his, On 22 November 1805 AD, they revised Surji-Anjangaon treaty of 30th December 1803 AD and offered to grant him the pargana of Dholpur, along with Bari and Rajakhera, north of the Chambal River. [47] [48] Immediately after this treaty Daulat Rao took possession of Gwalior fort.[49][50]

Kirat Singh Rana reluctantly agreed to relinquish his claim on Gohad, and accept the offer of Dholpur, and thus the former Rana of Gohad became the Rana of Dholpur, and was installed in 1806 AD.

Sindhias could take over Gohad on 27 February 1806 with the help of Britisher Army. Thus the Rana Jat rulers of Bamraulia gotra ruled Gohad for 300 years from 1505-1805. [51]

Attack on Gohad fort

Gwalior was handed over to Sindhia but to hand over Gohad to him was not easy task.[52] The followers of Rana Kirat Singh such as Rajendra, Mir Babar Ali, K. Jalim Singh etc refused to leave Gohad and expressed quite dissatisfaction over this action of Governor General.[53] [54] About 5000 people gathered at Gohad fort and started repairs of each fort of the state and appointed horse-riders and demanded Rana Kirat Singh to bring back to Gohad. They also sent a team oh horse riders to Dholpur for this purpose.[55] [56] The English officers tried to pacify the rebellions. There continued correspondence between English and the Gohad rebels for a long time. The rebels could not be prepared to leave the fort. The rebels complained that, inspite of their services ren dered to English, this unexpected behavior of snatching their ancestral zamindari without any offence was not justified.[57] [58] After all attempts of compromise failed, English started attack on Gohad fort on 19 February 1806. English forces bombarded the wall of fort on the night of 21 and 22 February. This led to a crack in the wall. This attack was commanded by K. Maclord. [59] [60] He was helped with 750 grenadiers along with 7 companies. They entered through the cracks in the wall and destroyed about half a mile of area. Inside the fort there were rebels equiped with guns. The english Lt. Maquity who had led the soldiers on 21 Febraury night attack was killed. Lt. Gill was serioussly injured, who died later on, and Lt. Drice Dat and Grant were also injured. In addition 23 English soldiers were also killed.[61] [62]

Daulatrao Sindhia agreed to fulfill the wishes of rebel chieftains and promised to appoint thm in his services. Gohad fort was handed over to the person appointed by Sindhia on 27 Febraury 1806.[63] [64]

Anglo-Jats treaty 2 December 1779

Note - the content of this section is based on The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 09 (of 12) eBook [65] under the heading XIV.—Ranna of Gohud.

That on the 2d of December, 1779, the Governor-General and Council of Fort William, at the special recommendation and instance of Warren Hastings, Esquire, then Governor-General, and contrary to the declared opinion and protest of three of the members of the Council, viz., Philip Francis and Edward Wheler, Esquires, who were present, and of Sir Eyre Coote, who was absent, (by whose absence the casting voice of the said Warren Hastings, Esquire, prevailed,) did conclude a treaty of perpetual friendship and alliance, offensive and defensive, with a Hindoo prince, called the Ranna of Gohud, for the express purpose of using the forces of the said Ranna in opposition to the Mahrattas.

That, among other articles, it was stipulated with the said Ranna by the said Warren Hastings, “that, whenever peace should be concluded between the Company and the Mahratta state, the Maha Rajah should be included as a party in the treaty which should be made for that purpose, and his present possessions, together with the fort of Gualior, which of old belonged to the family of the Maha Rajah, if it should be then in his possession, and such countries as he should have acquired in the course of war, and which it should then be stipulated to leave in his hands, should be guarantied to him by such treaty.”

That, in the late war against the Mahrattas, the said Ranna of Gohud did actually join the British army under the command of Colonel Muir with two battalions of infantry and twelve hundred cavalry, and did then serve in person against the Mahrattas, thereby affording material assistance, and rendering essential service to the Company.

That, in conformity to the above-mentioned treaty, in the fourth article of the treaty of peace concluded on the 13th of October, 1781, between Colonel Muir, on the part of the English Company, and Mahdajee Sindia, the Mahratta general, the said Ranna of Gohud was expressly included.

That, notwithstanding the said express provision and agreement, Mahdajee Sindia proceeded to attack the forts and lay waste the territories of the said Ranna, and did undertake and prosecute a war against him for the space of two years, in the course of which the Ranna and his family were reduced to extreme distress, and in the end he was deprived of his forts, and the whole not only of his acquired possessions, but of his original dominions, so specially guarantied to him by the British government in both the above-mentioned treaties.

That the said Warren Hastings was duly and regularly informed of the progress of the war against the Ranna, and of every event thereof; notwithstanding which, he not only neglected in any manner to interfere therein in favor of the said Ranna, or to use any endeavors to prevent the infraction of the treaty, but gave considerable countenance and encouragement to Mahdajee Sindia in his violation of it, both by the residence of the British minister in the Mahratta camp, and by the approbation shown by the said Warren Hastings to the promises made by his agent of observing the strictest neutrality, notwithstanding he was in justice bound, and stood pledged by the most solemn and sacred engagements, to protect and preserve the said Ranna from those enemies, whose resentment he had provoked only by his adherence to the interests of the British nation.

That, in the only attempt made to sound the disposition of Mahdajee Sindia relative to a pacification between him and the Ranna of Gohud, on the 14th of May, 1783, Mr. Anderson, in obedience to the orders he had received, did clearly and explicitly declare to Bhow Bucksey, the minister of Mahdajee Sindia, the sentiments of the said Warren Hastings in the words following:

“That it was so far from your [the said Hastings’s] meaning to intercede in his [the said Ranna’s] favor, that I only desired him to sound Sindia’s sentiments, and, in case he was desirous of peace, to mention what I had said; but if he seemed to prefer carrying on the war, I begged that he would not mention a syllable of what had passed, but let the matter drop entirely.”

That it afterwards appeared, in a minute of the said Hastings in Council at Fort William, on the 22d of September, 1783, that he promised, at the instance of a member of the Council, to write to Lieutenant James Anderson in favor of the Ranna of Gohud, and lay his letter before the board.

That, nevertheless, the said Hastings, professing not to recollect his said promise, did neglect to write a formal letter to Lieutenant Anderson in favor of the said Ranna of Gohud, and that the private letter, the extract of which the said Hastings did lay before the board on the 21st of October, 1783, so far from directing any effectual interference in favor of the said Ranna, or commanding his agent, the said James Anderson, to interpose the mediation of the British government to procure “honorable terms” for the said Ranna, or even “safety to his person and family,” contains the bitterest invectives against him, and is expressive of the satisfaction which the said Hastings acknowledges himself to have enjoyed in the distresses of the said Ranna, the ally of the Company.

That the measures therein recommended appear rather to have been designed to satisfy Mahdajee Sindia, and to justify the conduct of the British government in not having taken a more active and a more hostile part against the said Ranna, than an intercession on his behalf.

That, though no consideration of good faith or observance of treaties could induce the said Hastings to incur the hazard of any hostile exertion of the British force for the defence or the relief of the allies of the Company, yet in the said private letter he directed, that, in case his mediation should be accepted, it should be made a specific condition, that, if the said Ranna should take advantage of Sindia’s absence to renew his hostilities, we ought, in that case, on requisition, to invade the dominions of the Ranna.

That no beneficial effects could have been procured to the said Ranna by an offer of mediation delayed till Sindia no longer wanted “our assistance to crush so fallen an enemy,” at the same time that no reason was given to Sindia to apprehend the danger of drawing upon himself the resentment of the British government by a disregard of their proposal and the destruction of their ally.

That it was a gross and scandalous mockery in the said Hastings to defer an application to obtain honorable terms for the Ranna, and safety for his person and family, till he had been deprived of his principal fort, in defence of which his uncle lost his life, and on the capture of which, his wife, to avoid the dishonor consequent upon falling into the hands of her enemies, had destroyed herself by an explosion of gunpowder.

That, however, it does not appear that any offer of mediation was ever actually made, or any influence exerted, either for the safety of the Ranna’s person and family or in mitigation of the rigorous intentions supposed by Lieutenant Anderson[4] to have been entertained against him by Mahdajee Sindia after his surrender.

That the said Hastings, in the instructions[5] given by him to Mr. David Anderson for his conduct in negotiating the treaty of peace with the Mahrattas, expressed his determination to desert the Ranna of Gohud in the following words.

“You will of course be attentive to any engagements subsisting between us and other powers, in settling the terms of peace and alliance with the Mahrattas. I except from this the Ranna of Gohud.... Leave him to settle his own affairs with the Mahrattas.”

That the said Anderson appears very assiduously to have sought for grounds to justify the execution of this part of his instructions, to which, however, he was at all events obliged to conform.

That, even after his application for that purpose to the Mahrattas, whose testimony was much to be suspected, because it was their interest to accuse and their determined object to destroy the said Ranna, no satisfactory proof was obtained of his defection from the engagements he had entered into with the Company.

That, moreover, if all the charges which have been pretended against the Ranna, and have been alleged by the said Hastings in justification of his conduct, had been well founded and proved to be true, the subject-matter of those accusations and the proofs by which they wore to be supported were known to Colonel Muir before the conclusion of the treaty he entered into with Mahdajee Sindia; and therefore, whatever suspicions may have been entertained or whatever degree of criminality may have been proved against the said Ranna previous to the said treaty, from the time he was so provided for and included in the said treaty he was fully and justly entitled to the security stipulated for him by the Company, and had a right to demand and receive the protection of the British government.

That these considerations were urged by Mr. Anderson to the said Warren Hastings, in his letter of the 24th of June, 1781, and were enforced by this additional argument,—

“that, in point of policy, I believe, it ought not to be our wish that the Mahrattas should ever recover the fortress of Gualior. It forms an important barrier to our own possessions. In the hands of the Ranna it can be of no prejudice to us; and notwithstanding the present prospect of a permanent peace betwixt us and the Mahrattas, it seems highly expedient that there should always remain some strong barrier to separate us, on this side of India, from that warlike and powerful nation.”

That the said Warren Hastings was highly culpable in abandoning the said Ranna to the fury of his enemies, thereby forfeiting the honor and injuring the credit of the British nation in India, notwithstanding the said Hastings was fully convinced, and had professed, “that the most sacred observance of treaties, justice, and good faith were necessary to the existence of the national interests in that country,” and though the said Hastings has complained of the insufficiency of the laws of this kingdom to enforce this doctrine “by the punishment of persons in the possession of power, who may be impelled by the provocation of ambition, avarice, or vengeance, stronger than the restrictions of integrity and honor, to the violation of this just and wise maxim.”

That the said Hastings, in thus departing from these his own principles, with a full and just sense of the guilt he would thereby incur, and in sacrificing the allies of this country “to the provocations of ambition, avarice, or vengeance,” in violation of the national faith and justice, did commit a gross and wilful breach of his duty, and was thereby guilty of an high crime and misdemeanor.

Administration of Gohad state

The State of Gohad at its peak was quite extensively spread between two important rivers Asan and Sindh. Their territories touched that of Bhadaurias and Kachhawahas in the east and the fort of Narwar in the west. The management of such an extensive area for many centuries was possible only through proper administration.

Various Jat clans had an important role in running the administration. The supreme power of the state vested in the King but the senior chieftains from Jat clans in-charge of various forts in the state used to keep a balance. For example Rao Baljoo of Neerpura was awarded with Jagir. The forts nearby Gohad such as Chitaura, Karwas, Madhaina, Itayli, Pipahad etc were managed by chieftains of Bamraulia clan. Deogarh and Girjura were managed by Hanselia clan of Jats. Pichhore fort was managed by Dauderia clan Jats. All the Jat clan chieftains had united to oppose the north India expedition of Marathas. [66]

The chieftains of various forts were the advisers and assistants of the Raja. Rao Baljoo had taken part in various expeditions of the Raja of Gohad. It was the tact of Rao Baljoo that helped to regain the lost state from Bhadaurias.

The chief of the state was always selected from Jat clans. The new chief of the state was appointed with the advice of these seniors. After the death of Rana Chhatar Singh, the new chief Rana Kirat Singh was appointed at a meeting in Bagthara and made the Raja of Gohad state. [67]

The other advisers to the King were appointed irrespective of caste and religion. Modi family from Jains was appointed the treasurer of the state. [68] The ambassadors appointed to communicate with other states were from Kayasthas and Muslims also. [69], [70]

Military

Jats were not the original inhabitants of Gohad or its nearby area. So they needed a strong army to run the affairs of the state. The state army was regularly at work to protect the state. At the same time army it self was looked after through a well developed network of forts. There were about 360 big and small forts in the state. These forts served the purpose of protecting the people from dacoits during peace time. During wars these forts served as shelters for the army to take the positions. During the golden period of Jat Rana rulers the Marathas, the main enemies of Jats, had to fight for months together to take the possession of these forts. This shows the level of defence of these Jat forts. These forts were equipped with arms and ammunitions for the army. Army was not stationed at one place but at various places like Gohad, Gwalior, Salwai, Pachaira etc. There were about 15000 soldiers in the army of Gohad Ranas. [71]

Army had people from all religions. Muslims and purabiyas (Biha) were also there in the army of Gohad rulers. There is mention of these Purabias leaving army of Ranas during attack on Gwalior fort. [72] [73]

State Revenue

The source of revenue of the state was collected in the form part of the agricultural produce and no cash taxes were levied. The food grain so collected was stored in warehouses constructed by the rulers. This stored food grain was used to meet the expenses of the army and served to protect the public from starving during famines. [74]

State took steps to increase the agricultural production by constructing ponds in the villages and developing irrigation facilities. The army of the state constituted of the local people who worked in the fields during peace time.[75]

There were other sources of revenue also. There is a place called ‘Manak Chauk’ in the eastern corner of the Gohad Fort. Local tradition reveals that there were 140 shops of jewelers who traded in gold and silver in this market. The town had a well developed system of textile industry. This is proved by the fact that large stores of ‘geru’ are found in excavations. Geru was used in printing and dying of the clothes.[76]

State had its own mint to caste the coins. This fact is proved by the existence of “Taksaria Bag” (garden of mint) outside the rampart of the Gohad Fort. The prevalence of coins of Gohad Rana has been recorded in jangnama by Col. Kamek. [77]

see main article - Gohad Fort
Gohad Fort

Gohad Fort (गोहद का किला) is situated at Gohad city in Bhind district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is located at 26° 25' 34N and 78° 26' 41E. The town is situated at a distance of 45 km from Gwalior.

According to Alexander Cunningham and William Cook, people of the Jat caste from village Bamrauli (near Agra) settled the town of Gohad in 1505. This later developed into an important Jat stronghold. The Jat rulers of Gohad were awarded the title of rana. The Rana Jat ruler Singhandev II founded Gohad fort and the Gohad state in 1505. Gohad state had 360 forts and fortresses all around for the protection of their people. Out of these Gohad fort is most important and unique example architecture of Jat rulers. It had the same style of architecture as used by the Jat rulers in Bharatpur Fort.

The site of Gohad fort was selected strategically on the Vaisali River where it takes a circular turn. The Gohad fort is in circular shape. It is protected by the rampart constructed around the fort in a length of 5 km. The river was dug and flow of river was extended up to the fort to take a semi circular shape.

The fort has 7 gates named after the villages to which they face and the way they lead to. These are Itayli (in south), Barthara (in west), Gohadi (in northwest), Birkhari (in northeast), Kathwan (in east), Kharaua (in southeast) and Saraswati.

The fort was protected with four lines of defence. Constructing an outer rampart of 10-metre height surrounded with a trench created the first line of defence. Depositing the soil dug out from the trench inside the outer rampart created the second line of defence. Constructing a pucca trench with higher wall created the third line of defence. This wall 1 km in length, was safeguarded by Laxman Tal (pond) and deep Vaisali River. This wall had two gates namely ‘Hathai paur’ (east) and Sankal gate (west). Constructing a very high and the strongest wall half km long created the fourth line of defence. This was for the personal safety of the King and his places. Maharaja Chhatra Singh Rana inside this wall except ‘Navin Mahal’ constructed all the important buildings.

The building material used for the construction of fort was locally available stone, the lime mortar and bricks. Rana Singhandev II had founded Gohad fort but Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana, Maharaja Chhatra Singh Rana and Kirat Singh Rana did the major construction works.
