The Battle of Ghasera fought between the Jat's and Pathan's against the Bargujar Rajputs of Ghasera. The battle was the result of a Mughal Rebellion. The Jats and Pathans defeated Bargujars of Ghasera and killed their chief Bahadur Singh Bargujar. Initially Surajmal and Mir Muhammad Pannah had an army of 5,000 but during the siege 1,500 men were killed. Bahadur Singh had an army of 8,000, but during the siege, which lasted months, in the end he was left with just few soldiers. After the battle, all the women in the fort committed Jauhar.
Battle[edit]
In 1753, Surajmal and Mir Muhammad Panah defeated Bahadur Singh Bargujar and his son Ajit Singh of Koil (Chakala Koil or present-day Aligarh on outskirts of Palwal) in the battle of Ghasera and captured the Ghasera fort.[7] This was the siege of Ghasera. Suraj Mal made Raja Bahadur Singh an offer to leave the front, on the condition of paying Rs 10 lakhs to along with artillery handed over to him.[8] But Bahadur Singh did not agree to hand over cannons. The battle took place at night and next day, Mir Mohammad Panah along with 1500 Jat soldiers was killed, but the Jat army was still able to enter the Ghasera fort.[9]
