This breed was primarily used for hunting large games such as bears and wild boars during the Mughal Empire.

The Central Asian Mastiff has influenced the Bully Kutta strain present in northern Pakistan. It has been used mainly as a guard dog, and a home guard, also referred to as the Indian Alangu Mastiff. These dogs are known as the Indian Alangu Mastiff because they hail from southern India, specifically from Tiruchi and Thanjavur districts.

Bully Kutta was further developed from the local Indian Mastiffs during the British Colonial rule in India and was used primarily for sporting purposes. The Bully Kutta was dubbed as the Beast from the East as the breed has gained the reputation for being extremely aggressive.
