| Location | northern Rajasthan |
Jangladesh, also known as Janglu, was a historical region in north, north-western and north-eastern Rajasthan state in northern India.[1][2][3] It included the present-day districts of Bikaner, Churu, Ganganagar, and Hanumangarh. It was bounded on the south by Marwar and Jaisalmer regions, on the east by Ajmer-Merwara region.[4]
History
The north-eastern and north-western part of Rajasthan, was known by the name of Jangladesh in ancient times. The northern and western part of Jangladesh was ruled by the Bhatis while the north-east and south east was in the control of the Jat Caste settlements. The Bhatner area was under the Muslim Bhattis and Johiyas.[5][6][7]
Most of Jat chieftains in Jangladesh had to accept Rathore suzerainty due to Rao Bika's invasion of Jangladesh. Bika led an army of 300 Rajput warriors and subjugated all of the Jat clans of northern Rajasthan. Bika also saved the Jats from the Bhati Rajputs and acted as their buffer. The Godara Jats, Sevad Rajpurohits and Charans were loyal supporters of Bika.[8][4] The population of this region is 8,147,344 as of the 2011 census.
