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.[1] 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.[2]
