It is said that one of the ruler of Sindh asked Malik Umar Khan to get his daughter married to him, but he refused, upon their refusal they were forced to leave and fled to Dadhana state, and then into Kutch state, Rao Raydhan the then ruler of Kutch refused them shelter, so they moved to take shelter in the Muli state of Panwars/Parmars in the Mandav hills near Thān. [3] [2] Muslik-Mahmud I Begadha, Sultan of Gujarat, employed the Jats in the siege of Champaner (Chhota Udepur) in 1484, and granted the state of Bajana with 24 villages to their leader Malik Hadoji. The Jhala's subsequently conquered Bajana from the Jats. [4] They were allowed to retain several of its villages, although Mandal itself was taken by the Sultan. When the Sardar of Bajana incurred the displeasure of the Mughal viceroy of Gujarat, the latter resumed the grant of the Estate and ordered it partitioned among Rajput Maleks. Bajana was assigned to Malik Haidar Khan, Valivada to Jhala's. Malik Isaji later conquered Warahi. Warahi was known as Bajana as the Junior. While Malik Lakha and Malik Haidar Khan settled in Sitapur and Vanod in Bajana.
