	As control from the Delhi Sultanate waned at the end of the 14th century, pressure grew for an independent Gujarat, culminating in the then Governor [[Muzaffar Shah I\|Zafar Khan]] declaring independence in 1407. Surat was controlled directly by the nobles of the Rajput kingdom of [[Baglana]] who fell either under the Gujarat Sultans or the [[Deccan sultanates]]. However, following the fall of the Gujarat Sultanate in 1538 it was controlled by more local nobles starting with [[Chengiz Khan]] who enjoyed absolute authority over Surat, [[Bharuch\|Broach]], [[Baroda]] and [[Champaner]]. <ref>{{cite journal\|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/44147187\|author=Arshia Shafqat\|title=Pre-Annexation Sultanate: Administration Under Gujarat Sultans\|journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress\|year=2008\|volume=69\|pages=251–264\|jstor=44147187\|access-date=16 July 2021\|url-status=live}}</ref> However, in 1637, [[Aurangzeb]] fully annexed Baglana into the Mughal Empire.<ref>https://amp.ww.en.freejournal.org/37160111/1/baglana.html</ref>		As control from the Delhi Sultanate waned at the end of the 14th century, pressure grew for an independent Gujarat, culminating in the then Governor [[Muzaffar Shah I\|Zafar Khan]] declaring independence in 1407.

	In 1514, the Portuguese traveler [[Duarte Barbosa]] described Surat as an important seaport, frequented by many [[ship]]s from [[Zamorin\|Malabar]] and various parts of the world. By 1520, the name of the city had become Surat. It was burned by the Portuguese (1512 and 1530) and conquered by the Mughals (1573) and was twice raided by the Maratha king [[Shivaji]] (17th century).<ref name="EB"/>		In 1514, the Portuguese traveler [[Duarte Barbosa]] described Surat as an important seaport, frequented by many [[ship]]s from [[Zamorin\|Malabar]] and various parts of the world.
