Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c16.s2.2

v1.c16.s2.2

Aqibat quickly followed up this success. In the following week he sacked the walled villages of Mitnaul and Hathin (12m. s. and s. w. of Palwal), the refractory peasants of which had offered fight all day and fled away at night. He then attacked the small mud-forts of the Jāts all around Palwal and brought them under his rule. Then after a visit to Delhi, he started (27 December) again for the Faridabad district, taking Khandoji Holkar and his troops to assist him in the campaign. But he could not control the Faridabad district, as his soldiers refused to obey his agents, and the Jāts seized this opportunity to expel the outposts set up by him at Garhi Hathin and other newly conquered places. So, he appealed to his master to come in person, and Imād issued from Delhi to Ballamgarh.
