For the sultans of Delhi control of Bayana in eastern Rajasthan was a key to securing their southern territories from the local Hindu rajas. The first part of the study here sets out the history from inscriptions, standing monuments, and contemporary texts. It looks beyond the fort and town and establishes the boundaries of the region, its resources and the ethnic origin of its Muslim population. The second part is planned to present the history from the time of Tmr’s invasion, and will deal with the rise of the autonomous local Auad rulers, and the role of Bayana under the Lods, Srs and early Mughals, and its eventual decline after the foundation of Agra, formerly one of its villages.
