'''Asiagh''' Jat were rulers of about 150 villages in Jangladesh when [[Rathores]] under the leadership of [[Bika]] and Kandal were spreading their rule in [[Jangladesh]]. [[Bika]] established his capital at [[Bikaner]] in [[1488]]. Chokha Singh was their king and their capital was at Pallu town. Raotsar, Biramsar, Dandoosar and Gandeli were other famous towns in their state.
   
Chokha Singh had war with Rathores but the [[Godara]] Jats had aligned with Rathores due to which Asiaghs faced a defeat. Godaras were the most powerful among the Jat rulers of Jangladesh. Rathores had established good relations with the [[Delhi]] [[Muslim]] rulers and became powerful. The lack of harmony and coordination among other Jat rulers led to the defeat of Jat states in Jangladesh and established the Rathore Kingdom. ⏎
