The area has one of the largest concentrations of Sayyids in India.[ citation needed ] The upper Doab was controlled by the Sayyids of Barha. [2] The influential Sayyid brothers, Sayyid Hassan Ali Khan and Sayyid Hussain Ali Khan, controlled the Mughal emperors from 1713 to 1720 are from Jansath. At the time Muzaffarnagar was part of the Barah country as it was intimately connected with the Barah Sayyids, [3] [4] who became de-facto rulers of the Mughal empire in the 1710s. The Indian Muslim inhabitants of Jansath were heavily recruited in the Mughal army since the time of Akbar, and the personal armies of the Sayyid Brothers recruited only Indian Muslims from Barha. [5]
The Sayyid Brothers were killed through a conspiracy by Mughal Emperor Mohammed Shah with the help of Asaf Jha I, who later became the first Nizam of Hyderabad. In 1722, after the poisoning of Hassan Ali Khan, orders were given to lay waste to the Barah country but the Sayyid tribesmen offered stubborn resistance and "broke the teeth of the Mughals". [6]
In 1737, Jansath was attacked by the Mughal government. The Wazir Qamruddin Khan had been alarmed at their reputation, seeing that "the snake was scotched and not killed". Sayyid Saifuddin Ali Khan, the younger brother of the two former king-makers, Qutb-ul-Mulk and Ihtisham-ul-Mulk, had been residing in Jansath in retirement after the death of the brothers. The Wazir was determined to provoke the Sayyids into some form of rebellion so as to give him the colour to the action he intended to take. For this purpose, he dispatched Marhamat Khan to the Saharanpur district, resuming the jagir of the Barha Sayyids. Marhamat Khan was a man of course and brutal manners, and used unnecessary violence and cruelty, that the Sayyids rose en-masse and put Marhamat Khan and his followers to death. The Wazir was delighted at this opportunity, and raised an army to sack Jansath. [7] A number of 3300 Sayyids faced more than 30,000 Mughal troops, where Saifuddin Khan was killed. Sayyid Saifuddin Ali Khan was buried in Jansath near Karbala.
Jansath has several old monuments including the house of Sayyid brothers which is called "Rang Mahal". The entrance is called "Bada Darwaza". Rang Mahal is under the care of the descendants of Sayyid Brothers. Jansath has several other old monuments like Sheesh Mahal, Rang Mahal, Moti Mahal, Badi and Choti Haveli in Jannatabad & Mahadev Mandir.

Mir Qamar-ud-din Khan Siddiqi also known as Chin Qilich Qamaruddin Khan, Nizam-ul-Mulk, Asaf Jah and Nizam I, was the first Nizam of Hyderabad.

Following the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, Asaf Jah refused to favour any one of Aurangzeb's warring sons and as such remained neutral. When Aurangzeb's third son Bahadur Shah ultimately emerged victorious, Asaf Jah was rotated as governor of multiple Mughal provinces until 1714, when he was created Viceroy of the Deccan with authority over six Mughal provinces in southern India from 1714 to 1719. From 1719 onwards he was involved in combating the intrigues of the Sayyid brothers. From 1720 to 1722 he helped the new Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah eliminate the Sayyid brothers and was rewarded by being elevated to the grand viziership from 1722 to 1724.
