[2] Churaman's ascent to prominence began after the death of his elder brother, Raja Ram Jat, during the war of Bijal between the Shekhawats and Chauhans on July 4, 1688.
However, Aurangzeb's appointment of Raja Bishan Singh of Amber as Faujdar of Mathura threatened the autonomy of the Jats, leading to a struggle for freedom from Mughal rule.
The Mughal faujdar (commander) Raza Bahadur was killed in the battle, and Churaman himself was reportedly injured and fled to Thun.
Rajput rulers, particularly Jai Singh II of Amber (Jaipur) and Ajit Singh of Marwar (Jodhpur) formed an alliance to make their respecting territories independent from Mughals.To counter this Rajput resurgence, the Mughal faujdar of Narnol, Mir Khan, gathered a force of approximately 7,000 troops.
The ensuing battle took place at Javli (the precise location of which is uncertain, but it was likely in the vicinity of Narnol).Churaman and his Jat soldiers fought alongside the Mughals against the Rajput forces.
Gaj Singh Naruka and his forces successfully halted their progress, preventing them from making further inroads into Rajput territory.
