Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v2.c29.t2.22

v2.c29.t2.22

Ram Singh, having thus destroyed the power of future resistance in the Johyas, turned his arms against the Punia Jats, the last who preserved their ancient liberty. They were vanquished, and the Rajputs were inducted into their most valuable possessions. But the conqueror paid the penalty of his life for the glory of colonizing the lands of the Punias. He was slain in their expiring effort to shake off the yoke of the stranger; and though the Ramsinghgots add to the numerical strength, and enlarge the territory of the heirs of Bika, they, like the Kandhalots, little increase the power [188]. of the State, to which their obedience is nominal. Sidmukh and Sanku are the two chief places of the Ramsinghgots.
