Barha was one of the main backers of Farrukhsiyar"s rise to the throne. He initially served as bakshi for the empire. He was also early on given the command of the forces sent to bring Ajit Singh Rathor into line with the imperial wish.

Farrukhsiyar convinced the governor of Khandesh province, Daud Khan Panni to rebel against Barha.

Daud Khan Panni was defeated and this led to increased distrust between the Emperor and Barha.
