Earlier in the course of his life Raja Bhairavasen Bagul defeated Salim Shah & Nizamshahi Sultanate Raja, Raja Bhairavsen Bagul was invited in famousSiege of Chittorgarh (1535) by Gujarat SultanBahadur Shah, which was ignored by Mughal Humayun as a "War against a Hindu".[citation needed]
Over a period of many centuries up until 1637, the kingdom had paid atribute to various Muslim rulers. In that year,Shah Jahan, theMughal Emperor, placed his young sonAurangzeb in command of a force that successfully and easily annexed the lands. The territory was put under the administrative control of a Mughalfaujdar as a part ofKhandesh province. The erstwhile Raja of Baglana did not long survive the conquest and his successor converted to Islam.[2]
