Revolt Against British Raj
Dungar Singh was on the post of Risaldar, during Laxman Singh regime, in the horse army of Shekhawati Brigade. He developed differences with British officers due to their behavior with Indians and left the job. He came to Bathot and occupied the Bathot fort in 1834. Thakur Jawahar Singh was a cousin brother of Thakur Dungar Singh and he became the successor of thakur Vijay Singh of Patoda, as he had no son.
The exploitation by British Raj was increasing day by day. Bathot was also looted due to which the fire of revolt spread in this area. British Raj looked Dungar Singh and Jawahar Singh with suspicion. Both the sardars were aware of the influence and power of Lothoo. So they invited Lothoo in the Bathot fort and asked his cooperation in revolt against British Raj. Lothoo agreed upon the proposal and all decided to see the British out of India.

Famous quotes containing the words revolt, british and/or raj:
“O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular,
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver and a fugitive.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Death is an incident producing clay. Use it, mold it, learn from it.”
—John Gilling, British screenwriter. Dr. Knox (Peter Cushing)
“Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
