Deccan had always been a matter of distress for the Mughals. Treaties were made and breached soon forcing the emperors to act and it took several campaigns for the Mughals to assume control over the region. The first place to be annexed was Darur and it was renamed Fatehabad. Darur was a town of strategic importance situated on a trade route that traversed the Balagat hills towards Telangana.
