In 1685, there was a second uprising of the Jats under the leadership of Rajaram.
The Jats were better organized this time and adopted guerrilla warfare combined with plunder.
Aurangzeb appointed Raja Bishan Singh, the Kachhwaha ruler, to crush the uprising. Bishan Singh was appointed faujdar of Mathura, and the entire area was granted to him in zamindari.
Conflict between the Jats and the Rajputs over zamindari rights complicated the issue, with primary zamindars being Jats and intermediary zamindars being Rajputs.
By 1691, Rajaram and his successor, Churaman, were compelled to submit, but unrest among the Jat peasants continued.
In the eighteenth century, taking advantage of Mughal civil wars and weakness in the central government, Churaman carved out a separate Jat principality and ousted the Rajput zamindars.
The peasants’ uprising eventually changed its character, culminating in a state where Jat chiefs formed the ruling class.
