Chahar ruleRaja Maldeo was a ruler in the thirteenth century, a Chahar Jat, who ruled at Sidhmukh in Jangladesh (Bikaner). Ghulam Badshah was the then Muslim ruler of Delhi. Ghulam's army while returning from Jaisalmer clashed with Raja Maldeo. It happened like this. Two bulls were fighting. The Delhi army was watching it, but no one dared to stop them. It was then that Raja Maldeo’s daughter, Somadevi came out and caught both the bulls by the horns and quietened them. The Muslim ruler was so impressed that he asked for Somadevi’s hand in marriage. But Raja Maldeo refused the offer. The ruler then tried to take away Somadevi forcefully. This led to a bloody battle in which Raja Maldeo, Somadevi and many Jats died. The location of the battle is said to be near the border of Sidhmukh. The remaining members of Raja Maldeo's family migrated to the Jhunjhawati region (present-day Jhunjhunu). Kaswan ruleIt was the capital of Kaswan Jat rulers of Jangladesh. When Rathores under the leadership of Bika were spreading their rule in Jangladesh in late fifteenth century, At that time Kaswan Jats were ruling in about 400 villages in Jangladesh. Kanwarpal was their king and their capital was at Sidhmukh town. The Kaswan people were known as warriors who used to fight with patience. They had 2000 camel and 500 riders always ready for defence. They were good cultivators as well as super soldiers. Punia ruleAccording to James Tod as mentioned in his book "Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan (1829)" the Jangladesh region was inhabited by Jats or Jits, who had for ages been established in these arid abodes. At every stage of invasion to India the invaders had to encounter with the Jats of this region. At what period the Jats established themselves in the Indian desert is not known. By the 4th century they had spread upto Punjab in India. Nearly the whole of the territory forming the boundaries of Bikaner was possessed by the six Jat cantons namely:— 1. Poonia, 2, Godara, 3. Saran 4. Asiagh 5. Beniwal 6. Johiya, or Joweya Each canton bore the name of the community, and was subdivided into districts.
