Background

The Mughal Empire defeated the Maratha Empire at Gingee in February 1698.[1]

In return for military services,[2] the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, granted a mansab rank of 2,500 and jagir land grant of 12 lakhs (1,200,000) to Raja Swarup Singh, a Bundela Rajput chieftain, along with the kiladari (Fort Commandership) of Gingee in 1700 AD.
