About the battle
The Capture of Jhain was a military expedition carried out by the Delhi Sultanate under Jalal-ud-din Khalji against the Kingdom of Ranthambore. It took place in the March of 1291 when the Delhi forces defeated the Ranthambore forces under Gurdan Saini and captured the city of Jhain.
The Delhi army consisted of around 1,000 men, while the Ranthambore forces had 10,000. Most of the Rajputs, including their leader, Gurdan Saini, were killed in the battle. Jalaluddin Khalji marched through Jhain after the victory of the battle. The remaining Rajputs in Jhain evacuated the fort and retreated.
