A
golden age dawned upon the old city of Bharatpur, traditionally the home of
jats. Otherwise the tillers of the land, the jats establish their pre-eminence
in the region long before the before the emergence of rajputs. Uniting under the able leadership of rulers like Badan singh and Suraj mal, the jats expanded their territory far beyond its original boundaries. Such was the might of the jats that Bharatpur came to be known as the impregnable city.
The beautiful palace and gardens at Deeg and the Bharatpur fort, both built by Surajmal , symbolized the coming of age of the jat state. Soon, nobody dared question the jats’ prowess in battle.
A British general, Lord Lake, thought otherwise and paid dearly with his life for his decision to besiege the lohagarh fort.
At Deeg, the maharaja’s men successfully took on the might of a combined mughal and Martha army of 80,000. Growing from strength to strength, the jats even dared to attack the red fort in Delhi, the ultimate icon of power!
