Baglana

Baglana Kingdom was a Maratha Rashtrakuta kingdom of  India that was situated on the main trade route between Surat and Daulatabad and Golkonda, with Burhanpur nearby. Marathi Hatgad Inscription of Raja Bhairavsen Bagul mentions conquest of Hatgad Fort by using berserker elephants to smash open the gates! . Earlier in the course of his life Raja Bhairavasen Bagul defeated Salim Shah & Nizamshahi Sultanate Raja, Raja Bhairavsen Bagul was invited in famous Siege of Chittorgarh (1535) by Gujarat Sultan Bahadur Shah, which was ignored by Mughal Humayun as a "War against a Hindu".

Over a period of many centuries up until 1637, the kingdom had paid a tribute to various Muslim rulers. In that year, Shah Jahan, the Mughal Emperor, placed his young son Aurangzeb in command of a force that successfully and easily annexed the lands. The territory was put under the administrative control of a Mughal faujdar as a part of Khandesh province. The erstwhile Raja of Baglana did not long survive the conquest and his successor converted to Islam.
