Tilpat became the centre of attraction in the year 1669 when it witnessed, the bursting forth of the pent up fury of the Jats into a very powerful revolt under the inspiring leadership of
Gokula , thezamindar ofTilpat . A remarkable feature of this rebellion was its composite character. [Girish Chandra Dwivedi, The Jats – Their role in the Mughal empire, Ed by Dr Vir Singh. Delhi, 2003, p. 25] Though the Jats counted for its majority and provided leadership to it, it consisted of other local people as well such as, Mev, Meena, Ahir, Gujar, Naruka, Panwar and others. [Ganga Singh, op. cit., I, p. 64-65] The rebels gathered at the village ofSahora (about 6 miles fromMathura ). Abdun Nabi, the faujdar of Mathura, attacked them. At first he appeared to be gaining ground, but in the middle of the fighting he was killed on 12 may, 1669 (21st Zil-Hijja, 1079 A.H.) [Maasir, p. 83] , [Roznamcha also known as Ibratnama by Muhammad (R.S.L. Ms p. 133] , [Kamwar (pers. Ms.), II, p. 163] , [Maasir-ul-Umra, I, p. 437, 618]References
