Ali Bahadur invited all this trouble upon himself by refusing to co-operate with Mahadji. His further operations in Bundelkhand can be shortly summed up. After years of vain struggle he managed to carve out for himself a small principality at Banda. He besieged Kalinjar and was killed there during the operations on August 28, 1802. His allies the Gosavi brothers obtained a separate provision for themselves by accepting British vassalage in 1804. Ali Bahadur's successors ruled at Banda till the days of the great mutiny of 1857, in which the jagir of Banda came to be confiscated.
