== History ==

Moti Bhalsan was founded by Rana Parbatji Sodha in 1500 CE. It's the birthplace of Togaji Sodha who was famous for being crucial in helping win several battles. He was involved in winning the [[Battle of Bhuchar Mori]] near [[Jamnagar]] in 1591 CE. He also played a role in winning the battle of 'Mithoi' near Jamnagar in 1606 CE.
Allegedly, there was a really difficult mission his commanders in the Jam Rawal army needed volunteers for. As a way of motivating the troops into volunteering, the commanders threatened to kill wholesome Brahman men until they could find a suitable volunteer. Supposedly, after three rounds of this "motivation", Togaji Sodha and three others volunteered. They approached the opposing army as friendly strangers and eventually disabled 140 big guns<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indianrajputs.com/history/jadeja.php|title=History of Jadejas : Rajput Provinces of India|last=Rathore|first=Abhinay|website=Rajput Provinces of India|language=en|access-date=2018-06-15}}</ref> before getting caught. He suffered 84 wounds to his body but survived. Regardless of what he sabotaged of the opposing army's, he was universally reported as a war hero.
