Jangladesh

Jangladesh chiefs submit to Rao Bika Rathore

Jangladesh, also called Janglu, was a historical region located in the northern districts of modern Rajasthan. It was home to various Jat and Rajput clans. The dominant Rajput clans were the Johiyas and Bhattis,[1] while the dominant Jat clans were the Beniwals, Godaras, Punias, Sarans, Sahus, Kaswans, and Sihags.[2][3][4]

In the 15th century, Rao Bika led a coalition of Rathore Rajputs, Charans, and Godara Jats, annexing the local chiefdoms and petty states and establishing the Kingdom of Bikaner. The region was thus renamed to Bikaner.[5][6]
