modern history
Ahmed Shah Durrani invaded India in 180 AD under Rohillas. He was opposed by the Marathas on the field of Panipat in 171 and he defeated the Marathas in an extraordinary manner. Apart from other Maratha chieftains, Govind Rao Pandit also lost his life in war. Former Durrani chief departed from India sent Rohilla chieftains to large parts of the country. Dhunda Khan received Etawah, Shikohabad, Inayat Khan (Hafiz Rahmat Khan’s son), which was in the possession of the Marathas and in 172, a Rohilla Sena was sent to grab property from Marathas under the leadership of Mulla Mohsin Khan. This army was opposed by Kishan Rao and Bala Rao Pandit, who was committed to the safety of the Yamuna near Etawah city. The fort of Etawah was siege by Mohsin Khan, but the fortdar soon surrendered and the district went into the hands of Rohillas.
However, in the beginning, businesses were only of name. The landlords refused to pay revenue to Inayat Khan and secured the right of disobedience in their forts. Under the leadership of Sheikh Kubera and Mulla Baz Khan, strong military forces and some cannon were sent to Rohillas and many small forts were found in the soil, but even in such a barbarity, the zamindar of Jamuna crossed the area opposed the right of Inayat Khan. Later Hafiz Rahmat and Inayat Khan came to Etawah themselves and intensified the barbaric proceedings against the landlords and eventually they agreed to the treaty. After that Hafiz Rahmat moved to Bareilly and Rohilla posts were established at convenient places in the district. Meanwhile, a new king Nazib Khan rises in Delhi. Nazib Khan is also known as Nazib-ud-Daula, Aamir-ul-Umra, Shuja Ud-Daula. Nabab Vajir succeeded in Safdar Jung and captured the property from Bangash to Aligarh by Durrani by Durrani, but the Afghans of Farrukhabad did not tolerate the hostility of Vajir and in 172 he was involved in the attack on Farrukhabad Celebrated Nazib-ud-Daula for. The attack was won with the help of Hafiz Rahmat Khan. And once again the cases were resolved peacefully.
In 17, the Marathas once again attacked Fanfud by crossing Jamuna under the leadership of Malhar Rao, who were waiting for their opportunity. Where the Rohillas army was deployed under the leadership of Muhammad Hasan Khan, the eldest son of Mohsin Khan. On receiving this news, Hafiz Rehmat proceeded to face the Marathas from Bareilly. He got the support of the Rohilla Governor of Sheikh Kubera, Etawah close to the funk and preparations started to challenge the war. But Malhar Rao refused to join the risk. And once again he went across the Jamuna. The ambitious Nazib-ud-Daula was very irritated by the intervention of Rohillas from Bangla country on behalf of Ahmed Khan in 182 and he was also quickly engaged in advancing his plans to take revenge, he was Hafiz Rahmat in 180 Started composition of Khan’s collapse.
The joint army of Nazib-ud-Daula and the Marathas moved beyond Delhi, but Nazib-ud-Daula fell ill in Koil and left his eldest son Jabita Khan to help the Marathas to help the Marathas. Still Jabita Khan did not settle the war against her Afghan brothers in any way. Knowing this, the Marathas made him a prisoner in their camp and requested him to get his release by eating Hafiz Rahmat. Accordingly, Hafiz Rahmat Khan started talks with the Marathas for the release of Jabita Khan, but the Maratha leaders demanded the surrender of Etawah and Jagir of Shikhabad as their value. Hafiz Rahmat Khan did not agree to settle on those terms. And during the talks, Jabita Khan escaped in the midst of dealing with the Marathas. Now there were many irregularities between the Marathas and the Afghan forces. But while Dhunda Khan was ready to give Shikohabad, Inayat Khan refused to give Etawah.
Finally, disappointed with his father’s arrangement, he returned to Bareilly and his father sent an order to the Rohilla Governor of Sheikh Kubera Etawah to hand over the fort to the Marathas on his responsibility. Now the Marathas crushed for Etawah but since the order had not yet reached Sheikh Kubera, he called upon the war. Many desperate attacks took place at the fort of Etawah but finally the fort was handed over to the Marathas as per the orders of Hafiz Rahmat Khan and Rohillas once again abandoned the district by giving it to the Marathas. Later in the same year, in 181 AD, the Marathas traveled for Delhi and restored Emperor Shah Alam who had held the throne. Now he was the master of the empire and Jabita Khan was ready to oppose him. On collecting his army, he attacked the Marathas near Delhi but had to face the mouth and captured a large part of Rohillakhand in 182 and Najafgarh where Jabita Khan’s family and treasury lived.
Under the rule of Awadh, Jabita Khan asked for the help of Nabab Vajir of Shuja-ud-Daula Awadh, but Nabab refused to intervene until Hafiz Rahmat Khan proposes to him on his behalf. Talks were started from Shah Alam and Marathas to resettles Jabita Khan’s family and restore withdrawal from Rohillakhand. Marathas agreed to accept 40 lakh rupees. Provided that Shuja-ud-Daula should be responsible for payment. But now Shuja-ud-Daula refused to join such a treaty until Hafiz Rahmat Khan gives a deleter for money. Hafiz Rahmat Khan agreed to this, the contract was signed and the Marathas retired from Rohillakhand. In 173 AD, the Marathas decided to attack Shuja-ud-Daula and tried to get help of Hafiz Rahmat Khan. He later rejected him. At its place, Rahmat Khan sent information to Shuja-ud-Daula, informing him about what he had done and on its strength requested the restoration of his contract. Shuja-ud-Daula expressed his approval for the conduct of Hafiz Rahmat Khan and promised the contract restoration when the Marathas were defeated.
Shuja-ud-Daula Awadh returned, but always denied his promise to restore the contract. He later said that Hafiz Rahmat Khan was seduced by many Rohillas Afghans, and then evicted the Maratha posts from Etawah and Shikohabad despite Rahmat Khan’s objection. He then moved forward and met Hafiz Rahmat Khan to discharge the remaining amount of Rs 35 lakh. This was an excuse made only aimed at increasing enmity, for which Nabab had already started collecting the army and Hafiz Rahmat Khan failed to pay and Nabab moved towards the Ganges. -Aud-Daula, which was assisted by the British Army, ended by defeating Hafiz Rahmat Khan in the war of Mirpur Katra in the Awadh government of Etawah on 23rd April 14 in Shahjahanpur district.
From 14 to 1801, Etawah district remained under the government of Awadh. Little originated during this period to bother and Little is known as its history. The administration of the district was in the hands of Mian Almas Ali Khan for many years. We know that Ali was posted in Etawah, Kudrakot and Fragund. Among them, who was finally named the office, was King Bhagmal or Bharmal. Who was the son of Jat from caste and sister of Almas Ali Khan, who was a Hindu by birth. But later Kinnar was made and Islam was converted. King Bhagmal built a fort and an old mosque in the fun, whose recorded inscription is still recorded. Almas Ali Khan, the greatest and best man provided by Awadh in Colony Sleemann, has been recorded, but was very rich but due to no descendants, he spent his money, for the good of people committed to his allegations. He used to organize a court sometimes in Kudarkot, where he has a fort whose ruins are still there. It is said in Etawah that Amils reside in the fort, but the Nirupan of the townspeople in Etawah by Shuja-ud-Daula was destroyed in the Etawah. Used to do nothing other than doing.
