Raja Nain Singh Nagar (Hindi: राजा नैन सिंह नागर) & Rao jeta(Jit) Singh Gujar [1]
Rao Jeta Gujar, also known as Rao Jit Singh or Raja Jait Singh, was an eighteenth-century Gujar chief associated with Parikshitgarh in the Meerut region. According to the Meerut District Gazetteer, he controlled important Ganga crossings leading into Rohilkhand. The account states that Partab Singh, a Subahdar of the Deccan, marched against the Gujars after Jit Singh killed one of his followers, but was defeated and killed. Kumar Ali, the Kotwal of Delhi, subsequently attempted to confront Jit Singh but reportedly suffered the same.[2]
Rao Jeta Gujar fought against forces associated with the Mughal court and regional powers. According to Meerut District Gazetteer, Partab Singh, a Subahdar of the Deccan, marched against the Gujars after Jit Singh killed one of his followers. Partab Singh was defeated and killed. The same account states that Kumar Ali, the Kotwal of Delhi, also campaigned against Jit Singh and suffered defeat[3]
Gujargardi
The term Gujar Gardi appears in Hari Ram Gupta’s Sikh Domination of the Mughal Empire. The account records that in June 1753, Imad-ul-Mulk recruited 2,000 Gujars under Jit Singh during his conflict with Safdar Jung. It also records that Gujar forces plundered Delhi throughout the night of 18 January 1774[4]
