Battle of Bagru 20 August 1748

Maharaja Suraj Mal developed friendly relations with Raja Jai Singh of Jaipur, who loved him like son. Raja Jai Singh died on 21 September 1748. After Sawai Jai Singh, there was a family dispute between his two sons Ishwari Singh and Madho Singh. Suraj Mal supported claim of the elder son Ishwari Singh on the throne. Younger son Madho Singh also put forward his claim for the throne and he was supported by Maharana Udaipur Jagat Singh. A war started between two brothers at place called Jahajpur in the end of 1748, which ended up in the victory of Ishwari Singh in March 1748.

After a peace of one year the Jaipur state's family dispute reached the peak. The Niwai expedition of Peshwa in May 1748 resulted into Ishwari Singh's agreeing to provide four parganas to Madho Singh. Meanwhile on receiving a message from Ishwari Singh Suraj Mal reached Jaipur with an army of 10000 and advised Ishwari Singh to ignore Peshwa's agreement. Holker then moved to attack Jaipur. Madho Singh was supported by Marathas, Rathors, Sisodia, Hada, Khichi and Panwar rulers.

There was a front of seven rulers against Ishwari Singh, but Jat army under the leadership of Maharaja Suraj Mal faced the supporters of Madho Singh, the combined forces of Marathas, Mughals and Rajputs in Bagru War that started on 20 August 1748. The war continued for thee days in heavy rains. Jaipur army's harawal was led by Sikar thakur Shiv Singh Shekhawat, who was killed by Gangadhar Tantya on second day. Maharaja Suraj Mal himself took the leadership of Jaipur harawal on third day. Suraj Mal fought the war with great courage and hacked himself 50 and wounded 160 enemies. He converted almost sure defeat of Ishwari Singh to a victory. Thus in 1749 he established Ishwari Singh on the throne of Amber. This war enhanced the reputation of Maharaja Suraj Mal in the entire country, because he defeated Shishodias, Rathors, Chauhans and Marathas all together.

Bundi court poet Shurya Mall, who was watching the above war has mentioned about the bravery of Suraj Mal in Hindi poetry as under:

"नहीं जाटनी ने सही व्यर्थ प्रसव की पीर

जन्मा उसके गर्भ से सूरजमल सा वीर"

Translation - The Jatni did not bear the labour pain in vain, she gave birth to a brave warrior like Suraj Mal.

निवाई

निवाई, राज, (AS, p.502): प्राचीन क्षत्रिय-नरेशों की समाधि-छतरियां इस स्थान पर हैं जो शिल्प के सुंदर उदाहरण हैं.

रेढ़

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर ने लेख किया है ...रेढ़, जिला टोंक, राज, (AS, p.799) : निवाई स्टेशन से 15 मील दक्षिण-पूर्व में स्थित है. बनास की एक उपनदी इस ग्राम के निकट बहती है. यहां आहत टंक मुद्राओं (Punchmarked Coins)सहितएक मृदभांड प्राप्त हुआ था जिसमें माला के दाने, शंख, हाथीदांत और कांसे आदि की वस्तुएं भी रखी थी. सिक्कों से अलेक्जेंडर (सिकंदर) की लौटती हुई सेना के विरुद्ध युद्ध करने वाले एक राज वंश के अस्तित्व के बारे में सूचना मिलती है.

राजस्थान का यह स्थान नवाई स्टेशन से 15 मील दक्षिण पूर्व में स्थित है। इस प्राचीन स्थल का उत्खनन 1938 ई. में के. एन. पुरी द्वारा करवाया गया। रेढ़ में छोटे-छोटे टीले विस्तृत क्षेत्र में फैले हुए हैं। यहाँ से उत्खनन में प्राप्त सामग्री में मिट्टी के मकान, अनेक लौह उपहरण, प्रचुर मात्रा में पाषाण मनके, मृण्मूर्तियाँ सम्मिलित हैं। यह सामग्री शुंग एवं शुंगोत्तर काल का प्रतिनिधित्व करती हैं। यहाँ से प्राप्त सेलखड़ी की डिबिया उन डिबियों के सदृश हैं, जिनमें महात्मा बुद्ध या बौद्ध भिक्षुओं के अवशेष स्तूपों में रखे जाते थे। रेढ़ के उत्खनन से यह स्पष्ट रूप से परिलक्षित होता है कि यह स्थान तीसरी शताब्दी ई. पू. में एक विकसित नगर था, जो दूसरी शताब्दी ईस्वी तक पल्लवित होता रहा। मालव सिक्कों एवं मालव मुद्राओं एवं आहत सिक्कों की उपलब्धि से यह निष्कर्ष निकाला गया कि यह मालवों का एक केन्द्र था, जो सम्भवत: मौर्य व शुंग शासकों के अधीन राज्य करते थे।
