The term Gujjar Gardi has been used for the plundering raids carried out by Gujjars around Delhi during the eighteenth century.
June 1753: Imad-ul-Mulk, the Mir Bakhshi, was against Safdar Jang, who was prime minister. A civil war began between them. Imad recruited Rohillas, Jats, and 2,000 Gujjars under their leader Jit Singh. They joined him on 2 June 1753. These forces subsequently plundered the people of the capital.
January 1774: The Gujjars plundered Delhi throughout the night of 18 January 1774.
The account is given by Hari Ram Gupta in History of the Sikhs, Volume III, Sikh Domination of the Mughal Empire (1764–1803).
