Chokha Singh Sihag lost a war with the [[Rathore]]s, with whom the [[Godara (clan)|Godara]] Jats and [[Delhi Sultanate]] had align
ed. The 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. Even after defeat, the Sihags did not accept Rathore rule and hence were invited for conference. They were tricked by Rathores 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 the Jat clans in Rajasthan  had to accept Rathor's suzerainty in Mughal times  due to the Rathores having allied with the Mughalas sihag jats were big looser of all time and thats why they lost their land in front of brave rajputs.<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.
