Conflict with Delhi[edit | edit source]
In 1427, Sultan Mubarak Shah of Delhi's Sayyid dynasty attacked Mewat. The Mewati army fortified themselves for one year in the hills of Tijara, after which the Delhi army retreated. This event marked the complete sovereignty of Khanzada Rajputs on Mewat.
Invasion of Amber[edit | edit source]
Jallu is claimed to have captured Amber, the stronghold of the Kachwaha rajas, and removed one of its gates to Indor. The fort at Indor, which lay about 6km to the north of Kotila and south of Delhi, was a Khanzada stronghold much favoured by Jallu. [1]

He died around 1441, and Alexander Cunningham, the British historian notes that:
He is the great hero of the Khanzadas, who are never tired of relating his gallant deeds.
