===Ballabhgarh State===
{{Main articles|Ballabgarh (jagir)}}
{{see also | List of princely states of British India (alphabetical)}}
Ballabhgarh State, a [[princely state]] was founded by [[Teotia|Tewatia]] [[Jat people|Jat]]s in 1705.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}}

====The founder: Gopal Singh ====
Gopal Singh, the founder of the princely state of Ballabgarh, migrated from Alwalpur village in 1705, and established himself at [[Sihi]] ({{convert|5|km|mi}} from Ballabhgarh) after attacking the local [[Brahman]] rulers there. Gopal Singh of Sihi started establishing his power in Delhi, [[Khair]] and [[Mathura]] areas. He attacked the [[Rajput]] rulers of that area with the help of local villagers.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}} He became more powerful and started looting the mughal travelers on Delhi–Agra route during the reign of [[Aurangzeb]] (d. 1707). In 1710, during the reign of Aurangzeb's son [[Bahadur Shah I]], the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] officer Murtaza Khan killed him in 1711.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}}

Gopal's successor was his son Charan Das Tewatia, who was also ambitious. When Charan Das saw weakening of the Mughal rule, he stopped paying ''malgujari'' (octroi) to Mughals. As a result, Mughals arrested and imprisoned Charan Das at Faridabad fort for a short time in 1714 during the reign of [[Farrukhsiyar]] (r. 1713–1719). His son Balram Singh freed him by pretending to pay the ransom.{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}}Charan Das's son, Balram Singh, later rose to be a powerful king.

====Expansion: Balram Singh ====
On 30 June 1750, Safdar Jung, marched against Balram but Balram managed to evade him using stratagem with the help of Marathas.{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}}Mughal king Ahmad Shah Bahadur replaced Safdar Jung with Gaziuddin Khan ("Intizam-Ud-Daullahas" or "lmad-ul-Mulk", the imperial [[Mir Bakhshi]]) as new wazir. Safdar Jung, supported by Balram Jat and Surajmal Jat, revolted against the Mughal king. Murtija Khan's son Aqaibet Mahmud Khan was the chief diwan of Gaziuddin Khan, he and Balram agreed to meet to negotiate the terms of truce. Balram arrived with his son, diwan and 250 men, angry words flew, Balram put his hand on his sword, Aquibat's guard suddenly fell upon Balram and killed him, his son, diwan and 9 other escorts. Maharaja Suraj Mal Jat retaliated by capturing [[Palwal]] from Mughals on 27 September 1754. He also caught the [[Qadi|qazi]] there and slayed the qanungo Santokh Rai for scheming Balram's murder. In November 1755, Jats under Suraj Mal also recaptured Ballabgarh and Ghasira from Mughals. Suraj Mal appointed sons of Balram, Bishan Singh as Nazim and Kishan Singh as kiledar, who stayed in these roles till 1774 under Suraj Mal.<ref name=balidan26>Asloub Ansari, 2001,[https://books.google.com/books?isbn=8174352767 SIR SYED AHMED KHAN : ( A Centenary Tribute )], Page 166.</ref>

From 1757 to 1760, [[Ahmad Shah Durrani|Ahmad Shah Abdali]] waged war against Jats and Marathas. After the defeat of [[Maratha Empire]] in the [[Third Battle of Panipat]] on 12 June 1761, Suraj Mal recaptured Ballabhgarh from Abdali's forced in 1762 and reinstated Balram's sons Kishan Singh and Bishan Singh in their roles under Bharatpur State.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}}

On 20 April 1774, Ajit Singh with title of "Raja" and Hira Singh with titles of "Raja" and "Salar Jang" were restored to Ballabhgarh as descendant of Balram by Mughal king after they were removed by Bharatpur king. In 1775, Ajit Singh was formally appointed Raja of Ballabhgarh under Mughal authority. In 1793, Ajit Singh was killed by his brother Zalim Singh, and Ajit's son Bahadur Singh became the king. Till 1803 Ballabhgarh rulers remained under Marathas .In 1785 mahadji capture deeg but not capture bharatpur after 1787 to keep peace with Jats gave 11 paragana to ranjit singh and make friendly relation with bharatpur to make peace ref agra province.<ref>{{cite book|author=Dharma Bhanu|title=The Province of Agra: Its History and Administration|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CctFMm9HSH8C&pg=PA10|year=1979|publisher=Concept Publishing Company|page=10|id=GGKEY:KQWQCNNELB2}}</ref>
