Gohad State or Kingdom of Gohad was a Jat kingdom in India.[1] It was established by Jat King Singhadev II in 1505. The state was ruled by Bamraulia Jats.[2]
History[edit]
Singhadev II established Jat rule in Gohad near Gwalior in 1505 and founded the Gohad kingdom.[3] Bhim Singh Rana was the most famous ruler of Gohad. He defeated the Mughals and captured Gwalior, under his reign 331 forts were captured.[4][better source needed] Bhim Singh Rana also defeated the Marathas. After his death Chatar Singh recaptured Gwalior from the Marathas on 1780.[5] He ruled from Gwalior till 1785. In 1785 Maratha ruler Mahadaji Shinde again captured Gwalior and also captured Gohad destroying the Jat kingdom temporarily. After Mahadaji Shinde's death 18 years later, Kirat Singh assumed power and became the ruler of Gohad. Kirat Singh exchanged the territory of Gohad with Dholpur in a treaty with the Marathas who were continuously attacking the Jat kingdom. He also gave up on trying to recapture Gwalior and gave it to the Marathas as part of the treaty.[6]
