History

About in V.S. 1813 Sardar Dattaji, deputed by Marathas, drove out Najib Khan from Shukartal to Delhi with the help of the Jats, Gujars and many other brave people of Haryana. All these people fought the battle against him. Dattaji stayed for some three years in the mud-fort at Shukartal. The Jats were a part of his army. They fought shoulder to shoulder with Marathas to defeat their enemies. In these three years Dattaji eliminated Najib's rule over all the Hindu places of pilgrimage. The Sarv-Khap panchayat always supported Dattaji in subduing Najib.(See - Political_and_Social_History_of_the_Jats#Ahmad_Shah_Abdali_and_Sarv-Khap_panchayat
