In the 18th century when the Mughal Empire began to decline and disintegrate; there sprang up many new centres of power in India. Ballabhgarh kingdom was one of them. This small but strategically important Jat kingdom played far greater significant role than to its size in the contemporary politics of India. In spite of volumes written about Jats and their political exploits, no full-fledged work has appeared on the origin, stabilization and expansion of the ballabhgarh kingdom. This volume provides a properly documented account based on contemporary sources about the contribution of various kings of the dynasty to India politics. These Jat leaders were symbols of Hindu-Muslim unity and were nationalists to the core. The role of unsung martyr of 1857, Raja Nahar Singh, who as patriot par excellence organized secret meetings of the native rulers at Garh Mukteshwar (UP) to bring them under a common flag to fight against the British, was appreciated by Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah who entrusted him internal administration of Delhi. After the efforts of the patriots to liberate India and did not fructify, the last Jat Raja of the dynasty was hanged on 9th January 1858 and his kingdom merged into the pan Britannica.
