This area was formerly a chakla governed by Indra Narayan Chakravarti during the reign of Maharaja Madan Narayan of Koch Bihar. Ibadat Khan, the Mughal faujdar of Ghoraghat, led an expedition against Koch Bihar in 1687. The Mughals were supported by Raghavendra Narayan and Ram Narayan, who were the two sons of Chakravarti's personal officer Raghuram. Following the Mughal victory, Chakravarti was deposed and the Mughals honored Raghavendra Narayan as the Chaudhury Zamindar of Bashatti and Ram Narayan as the Chaudhury Zamindar of Kakina. The zamindars of Kakina, descended from Ram Narayan, continued to hold influence in the region.
