==History==

=== Rulers in Jangladesh ===
[[File:Map rajasthan dist 7 div.png|right|thumb|Northern-most light pink coloured region is "[[Jangladesh]]". It includes the present-day districts of [[Bikaner District|Bikaner]], [[Churu District|Churu]], [[Ganganagar District|Ganganagar]], and [[Hanumangarh District|Hanumangarh]].]]

Sihag Jats were rulers in North [[Jangladesh]] prior to the rule of Rathores. Jangladesh coincided with the princely state of [[Bikaner]] in Rajasthan. When Rathores under the leadership of Bika and Kandal were spreading their rule in Jangladesh, At that time about 150 villages were under the rule of Sihag Jats. "''Chokha Singh Sihag''" was their king and their capital was "[[Sui, Rajasthan|Sui]] (Sihaggoti)".It is 12 mile north-east to [[Shekhsar]] in [[Lunkaransar]] district. [[Rawatsar]], Devasar, [[Biramsar]], Moteir, Dandusar and Gandeli were other famous towns in their state.There another capital was "Pallu" which is nearby [[Sui, Rajasthan|Sui]] in [[Nohar]] district. It is said that earlier its name was ''Kot Kiloor'' which afterwards was renamed on the name of ''Pallu'', the daughter of Sihag king.{{cn|date=September 2014}}

Chokha Singh Sihag had war with [[Rathore]]s but the [[Godara (clan)|Godara]] Jats and [[Delhi Sultanate]] had aligned with Rathores due to which Sihag's faced a defeat. 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 Rajasthan]] and established the Rathore Kingdom in 1488 AD.It has been known that even after defeat Sihag [[Jats]] didn't accepted Rathore's rule and hence were invited for conference. They were tricked by Rathors and made captive in the conference hall and ultimately burnt alive. The Jats claimed their right over the land which was under their possession, before the Rathores occupied it and this claim was inherited by their descendants, who used to divide the land among themselves for cultivation. In the early period of their conquest the Rathores could not exercise any definite claim on the land as landlords. However, it was possible only in the 17th century, due to internal rivalries among Jat people, Godaras surrendered.Later on most of  Jat clans in Rajasthan  had to accept Rathor's suzerainty in Mughal times  due to the Rathores having allied with the Mughals.<ref name="Jibraeil 2006, p. 223">Jibraeil: "Position of Jats in Churu Region", The Jats - Vol. II, Ed Dr Vir Singh, Delhi, 2006, p. 223</ref><ref>Dr Pema Ram, The Jats Vol. 3, ed.
