The Kutch was governed by Bar Bhayat ni Jamat after the death of Rayadhan III and his regent Fateh Muhammad in 1813.
[1] As Rayadhan had no legitimate children, Ladhubha, his brother's son, a boy eleven years old, had in 1809, in the negotiations with the British Government, been considered heir.
The British Government agent Captain MacMurdo went from Morvi to Bhuj in 1814 for presenting its demands to Husain Miyan regarding piracy in the Arabian Sea and bandits in the Vagad region.
[3] Rao Bharmal II took over the management of state and Husain Miyan retired in January 1815 under the acceptance of the fiefdom of Anjar, Bhachau, Bhadargad and Kanthkot.
The force moved on Anjar, and as Husain Miyan refused to let the British occupy it, the fort was attacked on the morning of 25 December 1815, and before evening was surrendered.
