Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana (c. 1707–1756), was the most powerful Jat ruler of Kingdom of Gohad in northwestern Madhya Pradesh, India. According to Alexander Cunningham and William Crooke, Bamraulia gotra Jats from village Bamrauli (near Agra) in 1505 founded the city Gohad near Gwalior.[1][2][3]
Death[]
In 1756 Marathas attacked the Gwalior Fort under the leadership of the Great Warrior Shinde Scindia with a huge army. There was a battle between the Jat Army and the Maratha Army down below the fort. At one point during the battle, when Bhim Singh Rana was not riding his horse, Maratha Atrao attacked Rana with a sword. Bhim Singh Rana was wounded and carried out of the battle by his soldiers. He died after three days during the month of Chaitra in 1756. His queen Roshani committed jauhar. The fort was occupied by Marathas.[4]
