Ajit Singh of Marwar vs Haqnazar Khan

After Aurangzeb's death, Ajit Singh was restored to the throne of Jodhpur by the Rathore nobles. He had been exiled as a child after his father Jaswant Singh's death and the Mughal annexation of Marwar.

Ajit Singh led a rebellion against the Mughals under Bahadur Shah I. He recaptured Jodhpur and other territories, asserting Marwar's independence after decades of Mughal control.

Ajit Singh joined a confederation of Rajput states, including Mewar and Amber, to resist Mughal expansion. This alliance temporarily weakened Mughal authority in Rajasthan.

Ajit Singh was assassinated by his own son, Bakht Singh, in a power struggle. This event plunged Marwar into a succession war and weakened the Rathore dynasty.

Haqnazar Khan successfully reunited the three Kazakh hordes (the Great, Middle, and Little Hordes) under a single khan's authority after a period of fragmentation. This reunification restored the territorial integrity of the Kazakh Khanate and strengthened its military capacity against external threats.

Haqnazar Khan led a military campaign against the Shaybanid Uzbeks, defeating them near the Syr Darya River. This victory secured the southern borders of the Kazakh Khanate and regained control over key trade cities such as Turkistan and Sauran.

Haqnazar Khan sent an embassy to Ivan the Terrible, establishing diplomatic relations with the Russian Tsardom. This alliance was aimed at countering the Nogai Horde and the Siberian Khanate, and it opened trade routes between the Kazakh steppe and Russia.

Haqnazar Khan repelled an invasion by the Oirat (Dzungar) confederation into the eastern Kazakh steppe. The defense preserved Kazakh territorial integrity and prevented the Oirats from establishing a permanent presence in the region.
