--------jats, the supporters of mughal-------- From Sayyid Hussain Khan’s camp Churaman jat proceeded to Kama, where Raza khan Bahadur, the local faujdar was preparing to fight the local Rajput zamindar, Ajit Singh. The latter withholding the payment of revenue had expelled the local officers and openly challenged the Mughal authority in that area. His turbulent ways caused worry to both the local faujdar as well as to the ambitious Churaman, whose chief stronghold, Thun, lay so close to Kama. Hence both these united against turbulent rajputs and with a big force (about 18,000) attacked thakur Aiit Singh who confronted the enemy with about 10,000 horses and gunners. A bitter fight ensued near Kama in which the Rajput artillery played a major role in repulsing the Jats and the Mughals. The jubilant rebels pursued their enemies up to Khoh (about 8 miles to the south). After three days (i.e.7 October 1708) they rallied again and then charged the Rajputs. The Mugla-Jat combine appeared to gain advantage. But the Rajputs, fighting gallantly re-emerged victorious in the end. Many on both sides were killed and wounded. Raza khan Bahadur was also killed. Churaman and his men, who had been surrounded by the Rajputs towards the end, sallied out against the besiegers. He however received wounds from a sword cut delivered by a Rajput soldier, while he was on his way to Thun... About two months later, (December 1708) Churaman jat with 6,000 horses joined Mir Khan, the faujdar of Narnaul and passing through Sonkh-Sonkhari, attacked the rebel Rajputs.. Jai Singh Naruka of Jawali, offered them a stiff resistance but had to retreat and take cover in flight. It is said that Churaman’s brother Ati Ram, who was a friend of the Naruka, mediated a settlement between Churaman and the Naruka and hence, further operations were given up. Hereafter, there is a gap of about twenty one months (January 1709 - October 1710) in our information of Churaman’s movements. Perhaps these days he was silently busy in expanding and consolidating his hold. Sometime in October 1710 possibly on being summoned churaman jat presented himself to Bahadur Shah (ca. October 1710) somewhere near Delhi, when the Emperor was on his march against sikh rajput warrior Banda singh bahadur. Churaman jat was placed under Muhammad Amin Khan, who had been ordered to capture Sarhind and demolish the power of Banda singh bahadur and his close ally baj singh pawar.. Subsequently, serving the Wazir faithfully, jat took part in the campaigns with mughals versus Sikhs and hindus at Sandhaura and Lohagarh., The Wazir, who had shown his favours, died in February 1711
