खीची चौहानों का गागरौन दुर्ग राजस्थान

एक ऐसा दुर्ग जो बिना चारो तरफ से जल से घीरा हुआ है और बिना नींव का यह दुर्ग है , आइये जानते है ----

इसके एक महान शासक अचलदास जी के बारे में और आगे उनके शासकों के बारे में ,

अचलदास जी वोहि वीर है जो सर कटने के बाद भी बिना सर के मुगलों से लड़ते रहे -

गढ़ गागरोन के इतिहास में अचलदास खींची का शासनकाल १४१०-१४२३ ई. एक रोमांचकारी अध्याय कहा जाता है। अचलदास का विवाह मेवाड़ के महाराणा मोकल की पुत्री लालादे से हुआ था और चित्तौड़-गागरोन के शूरवीर यौद्धाओं के सम्बंधो का गौरवशाली अतीत भी है।

अचलदास खींची के समय में ही मांडू के सुल्तान होशांग शाह ने एक बड़ी सेना ले कर गागरोन पर आक्रमण किया था तब अचलदास ने अपने पुत्र पाल्हण को मदद के लिये अपने ससुराल चित्तौड़गढ़ महाराणा मोकल के पास भेजा था परंतु दुर्भाग्य से सहायता समय पर पहूंच न पाई थी और तात्कालीन परिस्थितियों में अचलदास और उनकी सेना गागरोन के लिये शहीद हो गये। इसे इतिहास में गागरोन का पहला #साका कहा जाता है। तब दुर्ग में समस्त क्षत्राणियों नें भी गागरोन में प्रथम बार जौहर कर अपना बलिदान किया था। अब गागरोन पर होशांग शाह का अधिकार हो गया था।

इतिहास ने फिर करवट ली और १४३८ ई. में अचलदास के पुत्र पाल्हण ने जोरदार आक्रमण कर गढ़ गागरोन पर पुन:अधिकार कर लिया और गढ़ की सुरक्षा का और भी सुदृढ़ प्रबंध किया। १४३८-१४४३ तक पाल्हण के रुप में महाराणा कुंभा का ही शासन यहाँ रहा। १४४३ में महमूद खिलजी(प्रथम) ने पुन: इस दुर्ग पर घेरा डाला। महाराणा मोकल ने सेनापति धीरज के नेतृत्व में सेना भेजी। धीरज और पाल्हण ने धमासान युद्ध किया परंतु राजपूतों को पराजय का मुँह देखना पड़ा। तब दो दशक बाद क्षत्राणियों ने पुन: जौहर कर बलिदान दिया और यह गागरोन का दूसरा साका कहा जाता है। सुल्तान का पुन:दुर्ग पर कब्जा हो गया और उसने तब इसका नाम मुस्तफाबाद भी रखा था।

समय अपने रंग बदलता रहा और और महाराणा सांगा ने प्रति-आक्रमण कर मालवा के इस सुल्तान को बुरी तरह हराया और उसे बंदी बनाकर चित्तौड़गढ़ ले गये। इसी विजय के उपलक्ष्य में चित्तौड़गढ़ के किले मे #विजय_स्तम्भ बनवाया जो आज भी उत्तुंग खड़ा गढ़ गागरोन और चित्तौढगढ के सामरिक समबन्धों की शौर्यगाथा कह रहा है।

गागरोन का दुर्ग दक्षिण-पूर्वी राजस्थान Archived 2021-06-11 at the Wayback Machine के सबसे प्राचीन व विकट दुर्गों में से एक गागरोन दुर्ग हैँ प्रमुख जल दुर्ग है ! जिसे झालावाड़ में आहू और कालीसिंध नदियों के संगम स्थल ‘सामेलजी’ के निकट डोड ( परमार ) राजपूतों द्वारा निर्मित्त करवाया गया था ! इन्हीं के नाम पर इसे डोडगढ़ या धूलरगढ़ कहते थे !

गागरोन दुर्ग भारतीय राज्य राजस्थान के झालावाड़ जिले में स्थित एक दुर्ग है। यह काली सिंध नदी और आहु नदी के संगम पर स्थित है। 21जूूून, 2013 को राजस्थान के 5 दुर्गों को युनेस्को विश्व विरासत स्थल घोषित किया गया जिसमें से गागरों दुर्ग भी एक है। यह झालावाड़ से उत्तर में 13 किमी की दूरी पर स्थित है। किले के प्रवेश द्वार के निकट ही सूफी संत ख्वाजा हमीनुद्दीन चिश्ती की दरगाह है।^[2] यह दुर्ग दो तरफ से नदी से, एक तरफ से खाई से और एक तरफ से पहाड़ी से घिरा हुआ है। कभी इस किले 92 मंदिर होते थे और सौ साल का पंचांग भी यहीं बना था।

यह तीन ओर से अहू और काली सिंध के पानी से घिरा हुआ है। पानी और जंगलों से सुरक्षित यह किला कुछ ही ऐतिहासिक स्थलों में से एक है जिसमें ‘वन’ और ‘जल’ दुर्ग दोनों हैं। किले के बाहर यात्री सूफी संत मिट्ठे शाह की दरगाह देख सकते हैं। प्रत्येक वर्ष मोहर्रम के अवसर पर यहाँ एक मेला आयोजित किया जाता है। संत पीपा जी का मठ भी, जो संत कबीर के समकालीन के रूप में प्रसिद्ध है, किले के पास स्थित है।

इतिहासकारों के अनुसार, इस दुर्ग का निर्माण सातवीं सदी से लेकर चौदहवीं सदी तक चला था। डोड राजा बीजलदेव ने 12वीं सदी में निर्माण कार्य करवाया था और 300 साल तक यहां खिंची राजपूतों ने राज किया एवं इन्ही खिंची राजपूतों के वंशज दरा के जंगल से सटी जांगिरों ज़ेसे बख़्सपुरा ,बालकू आदि में रहते हें । सीधी खड़ी चट्टानों पर ये किला आज भी बिना नींव के सधा हुआ खड़ा है। किले में तीन परकोटे है जबकि राजस्थान के अन्य किलो में दो ही परकोटे होते हैं। इस किले में दो प्रवेश द्वार हैं, एक पहाड़ी की तरफ खुलता है तो दूसरा नदी की तरफ। किले के सामने बनी गिद्ध खाई से किले पर सुरक्षा हेतु नजर राखी जाती थी।

तेरहवी शताब्दी में अल्लाउदीन खिलजी ने किले पर चढ़ाई की जिसे राजा जैतसिंह खिंची ने विफल कर दिया था। 1338 ई से 1368 तक राजा प्रताप राव ने गागरों पर राज किया और इसे एक समर्ध रियासत बना दिया। बाद में सन्यासी बनकर वही 'राजा संत पीपा' कहलाए। गुजरात के द्वारका में आज उनके नाम का मठ है।

चौदहवी सदी के मध्य तक गागरों किला एक समर्ध रियासत बन चुका था। इसी कारन मालवा के मुस्लिम घुसपैठिये शासको की नजर इस पर पड़ी। होशंग शाह ने 1423 ईस्वी में तीस हजार की सेना और कई अन्य अमीर राजाओ को साथ मिलाकर गढ़ को घेर लिया और अपने इसे जीत लिया।

3.—THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST BHAGWANT SINGH UDARD,
NOVEMBER 1725.
In the beginning of 1732 A. D. when Sarbuland Khan
was governor of Allahabad, Bhagwant Singh, son of Udaru,
a Khichi Rajput and a petty zemindar of Ghazipur and
Asothar* in the sarkar of Kora Jahanabad in the Allahabad
suha, now in the modern district of Fatehpur in the United
Provinces, rebelled against the local Faujdar, Jan-nisar Khan.
Confident of the support of his brother-in law, Wazir
Qamruddin Khan who had married his sister, Jan-nisar
Khanf neglected his duties and tyrannis d over the people.
The cultivators and zemindars alike had grown sick of his
executions and tyranny. He picked a quarrel with
Bhagwant Singh on some religious matter [mamilat-i'dimoi).
The Khichi chief broke out into open rebellion and gave
much trouble to the Faujdar. In the month of March,
1732, Jan-nisar Khan, therefore, left Kora to chastise the
rebel and marched in the direction of Ghazipur. One day,
when the Faujdar's camp was at a distance of four miles
from his, Bhagwant Singh, who was a man of considerable
personal prowess and courage, suddenly appeared before
Jan-nisar Khan's tent, with his troops and his drums beating
aloud, at the time of asar prayer (about 4 p. m) The Khan,
who was drunk and asleep was awakened by the sound of
Bhagwant Singh's drums He mounted his elephant and
directed, in vain, his miserable and discontented troops to
get ready for the battle. Bhagwant Singh pounced upon
•Ghazipur is 8 miles north of the Jamuna and 9 miles south-Wist
of Fatehpur ami Asothar is 3 miles north of the river and 11
miles south-east of Ghazipur sheet 63 c. The Marathi letters
sometimes call him Bhagvvat Singh, sometimes Bhagat Singh and
sometimes even Jaswant Singh.
† Klliot, Vol VIII p. 341 has that ''Jan-nisar Khan had married
the
sister of Qamruddin Khan, the minister.. " It is evidently a
wrong
translation of the translation of Xhe
translation of the Siyar, vol. I 269. also gives wrong translation
and cal's Jan-nisar Qamruddin Khan's brother. Neville, Distt. Gazetteer
of Fatehpur (1906), p. 156, copies Mustafa's mistake. Neville's view
that Kora Jahana-bad was then in Qudh is also erroneous. U was in the
Allahabad suba.

Jan-nisar Khan and made short work of him and his few faithful followers
vvho had gathered round his person. The victor obtained possession of
the Khan's camp and baggage and brought a considerable portion of the
disetrict of Kora Jahanabad under his authority.*
When the news of this disaster reached Delhi, Wazir Qamruddin Khan sent
his nephew Azimullah Khan with a strong force to punish Bhagwant Singh
and rescue the family of Jan-nisar Khan. On Azim-ullah's near approach,
the clever Rajput left his home and took refuge in the jungle. Azim-ullah
Khan obtained possession of Kora and returned to Delhi only after some days
' stay, leaving the district in the charge of Khawajim Beg Khan. Hardly
had his back turned when Bhagwant Singh issued out of his hiding, killed
Khawajim Beg Khan and turned his men out of the district.f
Urged by his wife, Qamruddin Khan, wedded to wine and women, at last crossed
into the Doab at the head of 40,000 horse and 30,000 musketeers, in
June. 1733 and besieged Bhagwant Singh in his fort of Ghazipur. His
troops being tired of a long journey, the wazir only posted his army
on three sides of the fort and postponed attack to the next day. But
the bird flew away before day-break by a clever ruse. To lull his enemy's
suspicion Bhagwant Singh kept on firing on the Mughals and when it was
midnight he escaped from the side ot the fort which was left unguarded,
crossed the Jarana, running 8 miles south of Ghazipur, before day.break
and took refuge in the country of Chhatrasal Bundela's sons. Qamruddin Khan
occupied the fort and ordered the construction of a bridge to cross
* Warid, 221b-222a. Other historians like, Hadia p. G8T; Shakir, p, 22;
Siyar II 467 give a very brief account. Hadia p. 680 says that into
Bhagwant's hands fell the ladies of Jan-nisar Khan's harem. One of them
became his son, Hup Singh's mistress. Muntkhn-lud-Tawarihh, Elliot. VIII
341 n. says that she was the Faujdar's daughter and that she committed
suicide to save her honour.

the river in pursuit of the rebel.* But, before he could do so, he had to
hurry back to Delhi to thwart a plot formed by Khan Dauran, Sarbuland Khan
and Saadat Khan to deprive him of his office. This was Bhagwant Singh's
opportunity. He entered into an alliance with the Marathas at Banda and,
with their help, drove out the wazir's men and became bolder than ever. A
petty zemindar as he was, he could not be reduced by all the armed strength
of the Empire.f
The agressions of Bhagwant Singh remained unpunished till the Emperor formally
appointed Saadat Khan Burhan-ul-mulk Paujdar of Kora Jahanabad in addition to
his former office of Governor of Oudh towards the end of 1735 A. D. Saadat Khan
received, on his journey to Delhi, under the imperial summons, a letter from
Qamr-ud-din Khan, requesting him to chastise Bhagwant Singh and probably also
a farman from Muhammad Shah appointing him to the government of Kora Jahanabad.
He immediately retraced his steps, turned to his left, crossed the Ganges and
by forced marches reached Kora on the 6th of November, 1735. Bhagwant Singh,
whose spies brought him the timely news of the Nawab's arrival, sallied out of
Ghazipur with his force numbering ten to twelve thousand men,‡ and suddenly
came upon Burhan-ul-Mulk near Kora. Saadat Khan, who had hardly recovered from
the fatigue of the day's march, hastily arrayed his huge army of 40,000 troops
besides a large park of artillery and directed his gunners to open fire on the
advancing enemy. Seeing the loss of a considerable number of his men, Bhagwant
Singh, avoiding the deadly

fire, delivered such a fierce charge on Abu Turab Khan's* division, who was leading
the Nawab's van, that his ranks were throughly shattered. Immediately galloping his
horse to Abu Turab's elephant, the brave Rajput gave such a violent spear thrust in
the breast of his adversary that it pierced through his back and lodged itself into
the board of the howdah. Abu Turab Khan fell instantly lifeless on his elephant.
Bhagwant Singh now proceeded against Saadat Khan's elephant, whereupon Mir Khudayar
Khan,
who was posted by the side of the Nawab with six thousand horse and one thousand
musketeers,
turned to face the enemy. Pushing on with great vigour, Bhagwant attacked Khudayar
Khan's division and put him to flight. Then he turned to Saadat Khan. But, at this
stage of the battle, Sheikh Ruhul Amin Khan Bilgrami, the uncle of the historian
Murtaza Husain Khan, Shaikh Abdulla Khan of Ghazipur and Durjan Singh, Chaudhri of
Kora from Saadat Khan's right and Aztmit Ullah Khan from his left surrounded him
from all sides and began shooting arrows at him. Bhagwant Singh faced the odds
unflinchingly and slew soveral of his assailants; but he was also shot dead by
Durjan Singh who, according to the author of the Siyar, was a relation of his but
had joined his enemy.f The battle cost the parties the lives of 5,000 men. Besides
being himself wounded, Saadat Khan lost sixteen of his brave and trusted officers
and a host of his troops. The victorious Khan sent Bhagwant Singh's head and his
skin stuffed with straw to Delhi, where Rustam Ali Khan, the author of the
Tarikh-i-Hindi, saw them hanging in the market near the
* It is said that when Saadat Khan entered his tent after his journey, he had put
on a green robe and had a long white beard. Bhagwant s spies marked this and so at
the time of the battle he attacked Abu Turab Khan who had put on a green robe and
had a long white beard like Saadat Khan. The latter had, however, changed the green
dress for a white one. Siyar 1. 271.

police office. Saadat Khan appointed Shaikh AbduUa Ghazipuri his deputy in the sarkar
of Kora Jahanabad and left hitn and his nephew and son-in-law, Abulmansur Khan, there,
while he himself proceeded to Delhi and waited on the Emperor on 22ud November, 1735.*
Sometime after, Bhagwant Singh's son, Rup Singh, who had taken refuge in Bundelkhand,
enlisted the support of the Maratha agent, Gobind Balhil, and meditated the recovery of
his paternal estate with the help of the Deccanis. The Bundelu Rajns were also willing
to help Rup Singh in his venture.† Abulmansur Khan, therefore, wrote to Saadat Khan
Burhan-ul-Mulk, requesting his presence; accordingly the Khan started for Kora Jahanabad
on the 18th of February, 17356. But the Marathas and the Rajas of Bundelkhand were not
earnest in their promise to the fugitive son of Bhagwant, for we hoar nothing more about
Kora in the pages of the Muslim historians nor even in the Marathi letters. The district
must have quietly submitted to Saadat Khan Burhan ul mulk's rule.‡

Saadat Ali Khan I (Burhan al-Mulk)
Mir Muhammad Amin ibn Shaykh Muhammad Nasir Burhan al-Mulk al-Musawi
(Nishapur finals del segle XVII-Delhi 21 de març de 1739), fou el
fundador de la dinastia de nawwab-wazirs d'Awadh a l'Índia (1724-1754).
Va anar a l'Índia en data desconeguda però el 1711 ja estava al servei
de Sarbuland Khan comandant dels Kara-Manikpur. Quan va pujar al tron
de Delhi Farrukhsiyar (1713-1719) va arribar a funcionari d'impostos
(naib karori). El 1719 va poder sotmetre als zamindars rajputs i jats i
fou nomenat comandant de Hindawn Biyana. Va participar en el complot
contra l' amir al-umara Husayn Ali Khan Barha, i quan va triomfar va
obtenir (1720) el títol de Saadat Khan Bahadur amb grau de 5000 i el
comandant de 3000 cavallers. El mateix any fou nomenat governador d'
Akbarabad (Agra) i al cap d'un mes (novembre de 1720) va rebre el títol
de Bahadur Djang i les insígnies de mahi maratib. El 1722 fou nomenat
governador d'Awadh i va sotmetre als shaykhzades de Lucknow; va
reorganitzar la província i va incrementar la recaptació i l'emperador
Muhammad Shah el va recompensar amb el títol pel que fou conegut,
Burhan al-Mulk.
Va establir el seu control sobre tot l'Awadh, aleshores un territori en
conflicte, i va castigar als senyor feudals rebels de Benares i Djawnpur.
El 1735 va rebre el districte de Korah-Djahanabad,
on el senyor local Bhagwant Ray, que causava problemes,
va resultar mort en un xoc contra les forces de Burhan. Després
va anar a Delhi per servir de prop a l'emperador Muhammad. El 1737
va atacar als marathes que havien ocupat part del Doab, els va derrotar i
els va expulsar amb fortes pèrdues; en revenja els marathes van tacar Delhi.
El 1739 Nadir Shah de Pèrsia va envair l'Índia. Burhan va sortir d'Awadh amb
30000 homes i fou atacat abans d'arribar al campament imperial de Karnal,
però encara que va perdre part del bagatge, va atacar als perses i, reconegut
per un oficial persa nadiu de Nishapur, fou capturat i portat al campament de
Nadir. En les negacions de pau després de la victòria de Nadir Shah, es va
acordar una indemnització de cinc milions de rupies entre Nadir i Nizam al-Mulk
Asaf Djah, representant de l'emperador, i llavors Burhan va suggerir a Nadir,
per motius desconeguts, d'augmentar aquesta indemnització.
Deixat en llibertat va poder tornar a Delhi on va morir al cap de poc
(21 de març de 1739); la causa de la mort ha donat lloc a especulacions:
suïcidi o una ferida mal curada.

Bilas Rdmdyan, which is a translation of Valmiki's
poem.
Bdl All (fl. circ. 1692) was the author of two works
both in praise of Rama and SIta and entitled NehprakaS
and Slid Rant Dhydnmahjari, Jdnk Rasikl Saran (fl.
1703) wrote the Avadh Sdgar, which is a poem in
honour of Rama. Bhagwant Ray (fl. 1750) was the
ruler of Asothar, in the district of Fatehpur, and for
several years resisted the attacks of the Mughal
Emperor, till he was killed by treachery in 1760.
He was the author of a Rdmdyan. Another work
dealing with the story of Rama was the Ram Bilas
of $ambhu Nath (fl. 1750). Tutsi Sahib (1763-1843)
was the eldest son of the Raja of Poona, but was un-
willing to succeed to the throne. He therefore left his
kingdom and renounced the world, and becoming a
wandering ascetic finally settled in Hathras. Besides
many hymns, he wrote a work called the Ghat-
Rdmdyan. He claimed that in a previous birth he
was none other than the great Tulsl Das himself, and
had in that birth composed the Ghat-Rdmdyan, but as it
aroused a great deal of opposition it was not published
to the world but the Rdm-charit-mdnas was substituted
in its place. His work differs in style and language,
as well as in subject matter, from that of his more-
renowned namesake, and is decidedly inferior in
character.
Madhu Sudan Das (fl. circ. 1782), who was a
poet of considerable merit, was the author of the
Rdmasvamedh, in which he describes the horse-sacrifice
made by Rama. Like Tulsl Das he was a devotee of
Rama, and his poetry resembles that of the great
master.
Maniytlr Singh, also called Y&r (fl. circ. 1785),
was another devotee of Rama who was a skilful poet.
He was a Kshatriya, of Benares. His works include
the Saundarya Laharl> the Sundark&nd^ and the
HanumQn Chhabblsi^ all of whicji deal with some of
the legends regarding Rama and Hanuman.

-------------------------------

Sambhu Nath Misra (fl. 1749) attended the court of
Bhagwant Ray Khichi, Raja of Asothar. He wrote several
much-admired works on poetics and was the preceptor of
&iv Arsela and other poets.

The Great Legendary Hero Sher Singh Rana

The Great Legendary Hero Sher Singh Rana

Sher singh rana alias pankaj, the prime suspect in the phoolan devi assassination case who surrendered before the dehra dun police on friday, is an ambitious political activist of uttaranchal.

The two biggest achievements of Sher Singh Rana
To kill Phoolan Devi
First we will look at the life of Phoolan Devi .She was born in Mallah caste in Gorha Ka Purwa U.P (India).

From the beginning she had family dispute with his cousin Mayadin, she had some property related dispute with the Mayadin that’s why Mayaddin arranged Phoolan to marry Putti lal . According to Phoolan her husband was not of good character ( I do not know what is the definition of good character of a husband , this was her nature to always fight earlier she had problem with her cousin brother and after that with her husband ). There are proofs which states that she threatened her husband and refused to live with her .There are so much controversies related to her marriage life which is any how not related to Rajput Community .After all these thing she was again taken to his huband’s house where she fought with husband’s family and ran away .His own family have rejected her she became anti social element after doing all these thing she again came and continued her fifgt with Mayaddin (cousin brother ).I cannot understand that when her father was not interested and she was out of the family why she took Mayaddin to court for holding unlawful land .After that in 1979 Phoolan was arrested in stealing case (launched by Mayaddin) in three days of arrest she was raped and beaten by police man .All these things were done by his family and especially her brother Mayaddin . After this her family and society shunned her . Why the media is not criticising the family and the Mallah caste ?
In the same year she joined Dacoit gang .Please remember the person who was the leader was a Thakur named Baboo. I want to ask a simple after she had faced all these things what would be the character of the lady you can understand . The deputy leader of the group Vikram (caste Mallah) killed Babbo . Then Phoolan married to vikram as her second wife .Then Phoolan ransacked her husband Putti Lal and killed (by stabbing) and dragged him in the front of the villagers this was the character of Phoolan you can understand that what kind of her mentality ?After all these things she ransacked the high class villagers and kidnapping of upper caste land owners , please understand that till that date except an attempt of Rape by Babbo there was nothing which has been done by upper caste people against Phoolan for the attempt Babbo was murdered then why she was specially targeting the high caste people , Is it a crime in this country to belong to high caste .Later Shri Ram a thakur came out of jail and claimed the leadership of the gang .According to charges of Phoolan Shri Ram wants to make sexual advance towards Phoolan , I want to ask a simple question who was Phoolan Miss Universe Miss World or Miss India that every person wants (specially thakur’s) to make physical relationship with her ? Please understand that Phoolan was manipulating the facts that when Shri Ram took the charge he was specially torturing the Mallah community because there was not any incident before this that he would have done this kind of things and there is no such reason as well , as all of us are aware that what kind of character of Phoolan had it’s very hard to believe her every statement .And after that a bollywood kind of stroy framed by phoolan stating that Shri Ram killed Vikram and locked her in Behmai Village and there she was raped by many men in the Behmai villagers (not specially thakur’s) and she managed to ran away and she gathered a gang of Mallah she carried “n” numbers of robberies in north and central India mainly targeting upper caste people . I cannot understand why she was targeting upper caste people only if the answer is rape in Behmai Village there is no proof that only thakurs have participated and prirot to this she was raped in Police Station as well why did not take revenge by the Police .

After 17 month from her escape from Behmai on 14th Feb 1981 she returned back to rake avenge of her rape .Her gang came in police uniform and asked to produce the kidnappers along with all valuable things in the village .There was a thakur family preparing for wedding , the gang was not able to find kidnappers .She was able to recognise two of them who were involved in her rape and murder of Vikram .She ordered to line up all the thakur in the village and shot them . I want to ask who the hell she was to decide what punishment they should get (only talking about two ) where was law and order and impotent govt. What was the crime of rest of the Thakur’s in the village the only crime was that they were from Thakur community . The dacoit opened fire and killed 22 thakur’s of the village 20 of them were completely innocent .And the whole U.P govt system was not able to arrest Phoolan this shows how impotent the law and order is or there could be another reason that the case was related to Rajput community govt is least bothered .The media have glorified her at that time I cannot understand why ?

Two years after Behmai massacre police was not able to arrest her (the great UP police).Then our central govt (Indira Gandhi ) decieded to negotiate for her surrender it shows at that time total system failure to arrest Phoolan UP police was impotent but where was Army ? She was ready to surrender on his own terms and condition (which looks like award given to Phoolan for Behmai massacre rather than punishment )

The condition were as follows

1. Not to surrender UP police but she will surrender to MP police

2. She would not get the death penalty

3. Her gang members should not get more than eight years in jail

4. Her brother should be given a government job

5. Her father should receive a plot of land

6. Her entire family should be escorted by the police to her surrender ceremony

Lucrative kind of negotiation done by Indira Gandhi .

An unarmed police chief met her at a hiding place in the Chambal ravines. They walked their way to Bhind. The onlookers included a crowd of around 10,000 people and 300 police officer and the then chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mr. Arjun Singh. Three hundred police were waiting to arrest her and other members of her gang who surrendered at the same time.
Phoolan Devi was charged with 48 crimes, including thirty charges of dacoity (banditry) and kidnapping. Her trial was delayed for eleven years, which she served in the prison.Phoolan was released in 1994 0n parole . I cannot understand that our govt can be impotent what about the judiciary ? Why court didnot gave her life sentence when the charge sheet was so heavy ?
She got a train stopped at unscheduled stops to meet her acquaintances in Uttar Pradesh. The railway minister, Ram Vilas Paswan played down the train incident and ordered only a nominal enquiry. Once, she visited the Gwalior jail (where she was imprisoned) to meet her former inmates. When the jail officers didn't let her in due to the visiting hours rules, she abused them. Later, a suspension order was issued against the jail officials involved in the incident, without any explanation. This was her real character which she was not able to change till last time always shown her true color of blood .
On July 25 2001, Sher Singh Rana alias Pankaj's killed Samajwadi Party MP Phoolan Devi to avenge the killing of 20 upper caste Thakurs by Phoolan's gang on February 14, 198, in Behmai, Uttar Pradesh. Sher Singh is a Thakur and belongs to Roorkee. This person is greater than our whole system he was manage to punish a guilty when even complete system was not able to do so . We should salute him and if possible govt should award him with Param Vir Chakra (PVC) award because he have done such bravery which our whole system (Police, CBI.ARMY including all the forces ).

On 25 th there was big celebration in Behmai

a cop at the Rajpur police station, about 15 Kms from the village, had something else to say. "We could hear the boom of guns from Behmai," he said.

It was divine retribution. God punished her for her sins," was the brief and crisp remark of 50-year old Santoshi Devi, who had helplessly watched her husband Banwari begging for his life before a haughty Phoolan who refused to show any mercy. The massacre that followed earned her instant notoriety and the infamy of 'bandit queen'.

Almost each of the 12 surviving widows of Phoolan's victims shares this sentiment.

Munni Devi was barely 15 and at her parent's place after her unconsummated marriage (a tradition prevalent in parts of rural India) when she got the news of her husband Lal Singh's brutal end. She remains a widow to this day.

"She had to be repaid in the same coin," she quipped.

"We were all thrilled to hear about the manner in which Phoolan met her end. I am among those who have suffered in the 20 years that have gone by since that woman pumped bullets into my father's chest," said a 21-year old college going lad, whose widowed mother pleaded anonymity.
Another youngster who was not even born when the sensational mass murder took place was even more forthright.
"Ever since my childhood, my blood always boiled when I heard about the massacre. What is wrong if we fired guns to express our jubilation now when God has punished her?"
We can compare Rana with Udham Singh who tool the avenge the same way
Rana is to be honoured for upholding the dignity of the community as he has avenged the killing of 20 Kshatriyas by Phoolan Devi in the Behmai massacre. Rana is the new hero of community and every youth should follow his as ideal and message should be clear enough “DON’T MESS WITH RAJPUT”

SECOND GREAT THING DONE BY RANA

Mahmud Ghazni (Mahniud Ghaznvi) came and attacked India about seventeen times between 1001-1026 A.D. Mahmud Ghazni ruled from Ghazni, a city in Afghanistan. Rajput King Prithvi Raj Chauhan, who forgave him all the time, ultimately himself was defeated and was captured by Ghazni. He made Prithvi Raj blind and he was ultimately killed. His ashes were kept in Afghanistan.
Sher Singh Rana, the prime accused in the Phoolan Devi murder case, escaped from the jail two years earlier. He had a national mission in his mind, he wanted to bring the ashes of Rajput King Prithvi Raj Chauhan back to India whose ashes were buried in Afghanistan.
Rana said he brought relics and sand from the king's grave in Ghazni and also had a memorial built in Etawah in UP. (Police in Kanpur said all that exists in the name of a memorial was a foundation stone for a temple.)
Rana told the police that got a fake passport from Ranchi and flew to Afghanistan on a student visa in early 2005 -- about 10 months after his escape from Tihar. A former D-company member Subhash Thakur, whom he had first met in Tihar jail, financed his trip. This was despite the fact that a lookout notice had been issued against him.
During his three-month stay in that country, Rana went searching for the king's "grave" -- he admitted to his interrogators he had little idea about the location. Only, he had heard that people disrespected the king's "resting place" and "that hurt" him the most.
After touring Kandahar, Kabul and Herat, he finally reached Ghazni. On the outskirts of Ghazni, at a small village called Deak, he claimed to have found the tomb of Muhammed Ghori. A few metres away lay Prithviraj Chauhan's tomb.
Rana said he convinced the locals that he had come from Pakistan to restore Ghori's tomb. On the sly, he dug Chauhan's "grave" and collected sand from it. He even got his "achievement" recorded on video.
In April 2005, he was back in India. He sent the 'ashes' through courier to Etawah and organised a function there with the help of local politicians. Rana's mother, Satwati Devi, was the chief guest.
On Tuesday, his mother hailed his son as the "pride of the country". "My son has only served this country. He brought the remains of Prithviraj Chauhan to India," she said.
The whole India should feel proud of him.
As her mother is proud of her whole country should be proud of him we should convey a message to our young generation that be like be ready punish anyone who is against our community.

CHAUHAN RAJPUT STORY

2012-05-23T06:30:00.001-07:00

JUSTIC BY-Er.VIKAS SINGH CHAUHAN

ALL Songara Chauhans belong to the Rajput Chauhan dynasty and draw their lineage from the second last hindu king of Delhi Rao Shri Prithviraj Chauhan who occupies lion share in the Indian history. Rao Shri Kirtipal son of Rao Shri Alhana of Nadol was the founder of Jalore, he captured Jalore in A.D.1182 from the Samant of its solanki ruler. This Rao Shri Kritipal whose father Rao Shri Alhana was Nadola Chauhan is the ancestor of Songara Chauhan clan. Nadola Chauhan Rao Shri Kirtipal established his Suzerainty on Jalore situated on Songiri- Swarngiri Mountain was called Songara Chauhan , instead of, Nadola Chauhan.

                        Rao Shri Samarsinhji Songara of Jalore had male issues Udaysinhji and Mansinhji, this Mansinhji - a real brother of Udaysinhji Songara had conquered Abu, Chandravati and Sirohi within very short span. The rulers of Erstwhile Sirohi and Pali were Songara Chauhans. The present rulers of Sirohi are the successors of this Mansinhji Songara Chauhan.

                     Rao Shri Samarsinh father of Udaysinhji and Mansinh is the grandfather of Chanchingdev. This Chanchingdev had male issues Samantsinh (father of Kandev) and Raningdev. This way from Kirtipal to Raningdev all are Songara Chauhans, but, surprisely, Raningdev a real brother of Samantsinh and the son of Chanchingdev was called    “Thakur – Thakore Raningdev ” , why ?

               Rao shri SamantSinhji Songara ruler of Jalore due to some political understanding or Compulsion, old age, constant attacks from DELHI and with a view to retain the independence of Jalore against the Muslim invasion during his life time, he placed his son Kanhaddev on the throne of Jalore.This Songara king Kanhaddev was also known by names (i) NaharDev (ii)Shiligram (iii) Golaknath & (iv) Krishna (Lord Krishna’s tenth avtar-incarnation). This Kanhaddev had a brother-Maldev Songara. Songara king Kanhad dev had two issues, son Viramdev & Kunwar Virmati Bai. This virmatibai was married with Rao shri Lakhansinhji of Jaisalmer. The songara king Kanhaddev had four queens namely (I) UMADE   (II) KAMLADE   (III) JAYTALDE   and (IV) BHAVALDE.

                  God or super entity is believed to be immortal. Thy is not subject to death as mortal human dies. It can do anything, nothing is impossible for such super human, it can appear from anywhere at any time, the people loving, honoring, respecting such super entity are not ready to accept that such person possessing God’s virtues even can die. Some persons    were believing that this Songara king   kanhaddev was tenth Avtar (incarnation) of    Lord Krishna-vishnu . The Lord, particularly, Lord Krishna how can die ? Thy is not supposed to be died as mortal human dies and therefore though the brave Songara king kanhaddev was died in the battle fighting against royal army, it is said that he was disappeared from the battle field . Perhaps , he might have taken calculative back   foot step  for some better preparing and replying the Royal army in the battle field ,this action of Songara king kanhaddev might have been taken as his disappearance from the battle.

                       Rao Shri Kanhaddev & his brave son Viramdev were died in battle fought against the sultan Ala-ud-Din khilji in year 1311, this battle of Jalore was terrible. On going through the “ KANHAD-DE-PRABANDH ” it appears that Jalore resisted the invasion for 3-4 years before it fell , the brave Songara Chauhans had kept up the tradition. Father Rao shri kanhad dev and brave son viram dev sacrificed their lives for their country-mother land Jalore , religion, pride as well as for the honor, respect and protection of the women of mewar and other parts of our present HINDUSTAN. These members of royal family had also sacrificed their lives for preventing the Hindus being converted to Muslims by the sultan khilji and his supporters. At that time, the massive Islamic take over the Hindus - India was underway. The sultan khilji and other Muslim rulers had decided to convert entire Hindustan into Islamic world. One may accept or not, but, this process is continued in one or other way even to-day.

                It is said in “Kanhad-De-Prabandh” that FIROZA a daughter-princess of the sultan Khilji fell in love with Viramdev son of Kanhaddev Songara who was on attendance at the court of Khilji in place of his father. son Viramdev defeated PUNJU wrestler in the game. Firoza impressed by the game played and won by viram dev, she fell in his love. In fact, it was a conspiracy hatched by the sultan to kill this viram dev songara. The sultan khilji forced viram dev to marry his daughter Firoza , ultimately, the quarrel picked up and turned into Jalore battle. khilji was in search of a cause for capturing Jalore and he did get it in refusal of viram dev to marry his princess Firoza. Firoza was a princess , she was a daughter of khilji, but , her mother was not one of the queens-begums of khilji, she was born out from Harem, she was a daughter of female attendant AASMANI KHAVAS. The prostitutes were too used to keep in harem and therefore viram dev songara did not think it proper to marry this TURK GIRL-TARKADI CHHORI and under the pretext of coming with Barat-Jaan-wedding procession, he left Delhi for Jalore and met in the battle . The real cause of the invasion with the sultan khilji was the determination to put an end to the independence of Jalore as was done with the other states of RAJPUTANA. Jalore was the part of mewar, the sultan khilji had been long anxious to add mewar to his sultanate and Jalore was going to be more and more powerful which made khilji mad-ferocious to attack on it. Khilji had consolidated his authority in Mewar, Kanhaddev’s semi independent status was construed as contumacy and his country was invaded.

                 “EVERY THING IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR” – Firoza had put this maxim into service in its true concept having real meaning thereof. Firoza was not only a glamours beauty, she was very shrewd politician and intellectual diplomat. She utilised her beauty as an instrument to get the chief in army Samsukhan who was also a brother-in-law of the sultan Khilji, Samsukhan’s wife Khuja begum (sister of sultan), sadal, sahi malik and other worriors of royal army freed from captivity. All these were war prisoners, Maldev Songara and Viramdev Songara had made them surrendered in the long drawn war after fall of Sivana. If these nearest relatives of the sultan would not had been released from the war custody, the sultan would had been forced to withdraw the siege laid on jalore or would had been compelled to enter into a political treaty at the unilateral conditions favourable to the subjects of Jalore and Jalore’s sovereign itself, but, the rular Viramdev Songara and incharge of army Maldev Songara failed to read written on the wall, it was time to strike the iron, the royal army was exhausted in long drawn war, all the circumstances and prevailing situations were in favourable of Jalore, but, unfortunately, Jalore missed an opportunity. Firoza utilised her beauty as the opener of the prison lock, all the war prisoners got released. Firoza not only got release of these war prisoners, she also obtained rewards- gifts including the elephants which were snached by the Jalore army from the royal army ( the royal army had captured these elephants in Somnath – Gujarat War). Foriza also received an assurance for no sudden attack on royal army i.e. the jalore’s army would not attack on royal army.

                           This FIROZA in her second visit of Jalore had come with the arm’ament. She was a troop member of the women army headed by GULBAHISTA, this Gulbahista was also a chief security officer of the Sultan’s Harem. Jalore could not visualize the hidden ar’mour . when the hands of Jalore were free&up,the legs &heads of DELHI were under the stone, it was not desirable at all for the rular of Jalore to do all these for the sake of exellency, nobleness, royalness, broad heartedness and proud. In fact, the rular of Jalore etc. had been allured by sorceress and hypocrite Firoza. Returning from Jalore Firoza furnished all the secret informations to the Sultan at Delhi which became very important and helpful to the royal army and the sultan too in the last war in which we lost Kandev and Viramdev both. We can see , how much she was shrewd ? After sacrifice of these brave Kings Kanhad dev Songara and Viramdev Songara, Maldev Songara a real brother of Kandev, who was chief in charge of Jalore army was appointed as the governor of Chittod at the instance of this Firoza, she spared no prominent Songara Chauhan to look after Jalore !!! Firoza’s first visit of Jalore started it downfall and in her second visit Jalore lost every thing. Firoza had played a pivot role in degradation of Jalore, in remembrance of this remarkable venture in the period during which Jalore remained under domains of invaders her monument was built up on Swarangiri – Jalore, it exists as “ FIROZA KI CHHATRI”. In the battle of Jalore, lastly, the Sultan khilji sent a strong force under the commandment of kamaluddin Garg, with the help of some ambitious local persons the task of kamaluddin became easy, songara king kanhad dev, his son viramdev and their army men were killed in a close combat and the fort was captured. It was fall of songara chauhans . Jalore ,Bhinmal and sanchor were kept under the dominance of Muslims.

                             After sacrifice of kanhaddev songara and viramdev songara, khilji conquered Jalore , it became the part of sultanate –empire of Delhi till India became independent .Ofcourse, for some period Jalore was restored to Mewar ,but , the Muslin rulers continued their dominance on it till 1947, when India became independent sovereign.

                           After sacrifice of Rao shri KANHADE SONGARA and VIRAMDE SONGARA, their Pedigree does not come to an end nor ceases. In the last war MALDEV SONGARA a brother of KANHADE SONGARA was servived , he was appointed as the governor of Chittod. JESO SONGARA son of this MALDEV had forced the sultan to part with sambhar.

                            At the time of last war the queen MEGALDEVIof viramdev songara was at her parental home at siyalcot with a minor son AMBRAJ. This Ambraj Viramdev songara is the grand father of Rao shri AKHERAJ(I) who got written famous epic “KANHAD DE PRABANDH” . Rao shri Akeraj songara is the son of Rao shri Khetsinhji songara.

            “ESKANDAR-E-SAMI-SULTAN-UL-AZAM ALLADIN YA MAUDDIN MAHAMMADSHA ”-Alludin khilji was believing himself as Alexander II and was trying to establish the same. This khilji did get prepared the coins of his name and described him as Alexander II on the coins. The great Alexander once upon a time had decided to be the empire of entire universe and accordingly he entered in to India, but, the brave Hindu king porus forced this Alexander to return and during return journey he was murdered. Khilji also made with the same fate i.e he died unnatural death in January 1316.

                       It also requires to remember that Lohani Nawabs of Palanpur claim that their ancestor who was a minister of parihar ruler had captured Jalore from him, but, the claim of Palanpur Nawabs has no historical support , however they are trying to keep-up their heads.

                       Jain Muni Gyan sundarji says in his “RATANPURIYA GACHH” that songara chauhan Ratansinh had established a new kingdom of his own name “ RATANPAR NAGAR" in vikram samvat year 1082 [ Perhaps this Ratanparnagar may be a village of sanchor Taluka of Jalore district, State of Rajasthan. This Ratanpar village of Sanchor Taluka is not far away from Jalore]. The direct discendent of songara chauhan king Ratansinh accepted Jainism. These discendent and his family members were called “RATANPURA”. The are ten branches/sub gotras of Ratanpura,they are Songara, Ramsena, Katariya, Bohra and others on the names of persons of Ratanpura family.

                       It is useful to note here that there is an ancient village namely “RAMSIN” near Jalore.The Songara chuhans habitants of this Ramsin village are called “RAMSENA”. Songara chauhans of “RAMSAN” village of Banaskantha district ,state of Gujarat are also called “RAMSENA” after the name of this village Ramsan and therefore the say of Muni Gyan sundarji in regard to acceptance of Jainism by the descendent of songara king Ratansinh seems not to be correct /true. Ramsena,Songara chauhans and katariya all these are kshatriyas , no Songara chauhan or Ramsena is a Jain.

                    It is painful to say that prior to independence, not only the Muslims invaders had tried to put an end to the “ HINDU INDIA-BHARAT VARSH ”, but , during years 1143 to 1172 , a Hindu- chalukya king kumarpal who adopting Jainism became jain under impression of famous HEMCHANDRACHARYA had also destroyed so many Hindu temples and the destroyed hindu temples were converted to jain temples. It is the misfortune of Jalore that the ruler of sambhar vigrahraj chauhan had too put Jalore badly on fire. Jalore was so badly burnt in that fire as it was destroyed completely.

                      These Kanhaddev and viramdev had left behind them glorified memories,they are very popular amongst all rulers of Rajputana region, these members of royal family are well sung heroes of folk songs being sung in entire Rajsthan as well as some parts of Gujarat, it is the matter of pride for songara chauhans that one of their ancestors was Kanhaddev songara.

HISTORY OF PRATHVIRAJ CHAUHAN & MAHARANA PRATAP

2012-05-23T05:52:00.000-07:00

HISTORY OF PRATHVIRAJ CHAUHAN

PRITHVIRAJ CHAUHAN JAYANTI,BIRTH ANNIVERSARY 7th JUNE (1149-1192 CE)
Prithviraj Chauhan was born at Ajaymeru (Ajmer) in 1166 A.D. His father was Someshwar Chauhan and mother Karpuri Devi, a Kalachuri (Chedi) princess, daughter of Achalaraja of Tripuri.
Muhammad Ghori attacked India multiple times. First time he was routed in present day Gujarat by Rajputs. Mularaja-II was not even a teen yet and his mother organized the defences of Pattan. Battle was fought at Kayadara near Mount Abu, in 1178 A.D. and Ghori was resoundingly defeated. After this defeat he never entered India through Gujarat. In first battle of Taraori in 1191 Prithviraj Chauhan's cavalry charged and routed the Ghurid cavalry and captured Ghori. Ghori begged for his life. Prithviraj allowed him to go despite his generals asking him not to do so.

Prithviraj Chauhan lived at Taragarh fort which was also known as Ajaymeru after which the town of Ajmer got its name.

Following year Ghori came again. Prithviraj advanced with his army and sent a letter to Ghori. In this letter Ghori was asked to return as he had been defeated the previous year and was spared his life. Ghori replied that he was in India on the orders of his brother, Ghiasuddin, and that he could only retreat after he got a word from his brother. This letter was sent in the evening and after sending the letter Ghori moved his camp back a few kilometers to feign retreat. On receiving this letter and seeing Muhammad move his camp back Prithviraj assumed that Ghori was not interested in fighting. Ghori also knew that rajputs did not fight in the night and only started fighting after sun had come up. (This is an ancient Kshatriya practice e.g Mahabharata was also fought mostly in day time). Ghori treacherously attacked in the early morning hours when Prithviraj and his army were sleeping and was able to win this war

The founder of the Gahadwala line was Govindchandra Gahadwala. He was an astute ruler and ruled from Kannauj. Most of North India, including the university town of Nalanda was a part of his kingdom. He stoutly defended his kingdom from further Muslims incursions. He instituted a tax for this purpose which was called Turushka Danda (i.e. tax to fight the Turushkas or Turks). His grandson was Jaichandra Gahadwala (Rathod) who played a tragic role in Indian History.

The Story of Prithviraj Chouhan and Mahmud Ghori

In Jaichand's days, a rival Rajput clan had established itself in Delhi (Pithoragarh). The ruler there was Prithviraj Chouhan. Pritiviraj was a romantic, chivalrous and an extremely fearless person. After ceaseless military campaigns, Pritiviraj extended his original kingdom of Sambhar (Shakambara) to Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Eastern Punjab. He ruled from his twin capitals at Delhi and Ajmer. His fast rise caught the envy of the then powerful ruler Jaichandra Gahadwala and there was a lot of ill-feeling between the two.

Prithiviraj's Love for Sanyogita - Jaichandra's Daughter

The story of Prithviraj's bold exploits spread far and wide in the country and he was the center of much discussion in the circle of the nobility. Sanyogita, the daughter of Jaichandra Gahadwala fell secretly in love with Prithiviraj and she started a secret poetic correspondence with him. Her father the haughty Jaichandra got wind of this and he decided to teach his daughter and her upstart lover a lesson. So he arranged a Swayamwara (a ceremony where a bride can select her husband from the assembled princes. She had the right to garland any prince and she became his queen. This is an ancient Hindu custom among Royalty). Jaichandra invited all the big and small princes of the country to Kannauj for the royal Swayamwara. But he deliberately ignored Prithiviraj.

To add insult to injury, he even made a statue of Prithiviraj and kept him as a dwarpala (doorman).

The Elopement of Sanyogita with Prithviraj

Prithviraj got to know of this and he confided his plans to his lover.
On the said day, Sanyogita walked down the aisle where the royals had assembled and bypassed all of them only to reach the door and garland the statue of Pritiviraj as a doorman. The assemblage was stunned at this brash act of hers. But what stunned them and her father Jaichandra was the next thing that happened.

Prithiviraj who was hiding behind the statue, also in the garb of a doorman, whisked Sanyogita away and put her up on his steed to make a fast getaway to his capital at Delhi

Chouhan-Rathod Warfare Leads to Weakening of both Rajput Kingdoms

Jaichandra and his army gave earnest chase and in the resultant string of battles between the two kingdoms fought between 1189 and 1190, both of them sufferred heavily. While this drama was being enacted, another ruler also named Mahmud who was from Ghori in Afghanistan had grown powerful and had captured Ghazni and subsequently attacked the Ghaznavid Governor of Punjab and defeated him. The kingdom of Mahmud Ghori now stretched up to the domains of Prithiviraj Chouhan. A clash was inevitable

The 1st Battle of Tarain 1191 C.E. - Victory of Prithiviraj Chouhan

Mahmud Ghori threw the gauntlet by laying siege to the fortress of Bhatinda in East Punjab which was on the frontier of Prithiviraj's domains. Prithviraj's appeal for help from his father-in-law was scornfully rejected by the haughty Jaichandra. But undaunted Prithviraj marched on to Bhatinda and met his enemy at a place called Tarain (also called Taraori) near the ancient town of Thanesar. In face of the persistent Rajput attacks, the battle was won as the Muslim army broke ranks and fled leaving their general Mahmud Ghori as a prisoner in Pritiviraj's hands.

Mahmud Ghori was brought in chains to Pithoragarh - Prithviraj's capital and he begged his victor for mercy and release. Prithviraj's ministers advised against pardoning the aggressor. But the chivalrous and valiant Prithviraj thought otherwise and respectfully released the vanquished Ghori.

The 2nd Battle of Tarain 1192 C.E. - Defeat of Prithiviraj Chouhan

The very next year Prithiviraj's gesture was repaid by Ghori who re-attacked Prithiviraj with a stronger army and guilfully defeated him by attacking the Rajput army before daybreak. (The Hindus incidentally followed a hoary practice of battling only from sunrise up to sunset. Before Sunrise and after Sunset there was to be no fighting- as per a time honoured battle code).The defeated Prithiviraj was pursued up to his capital and in chains he was taken as a captive to Ghor in Afghanistan.

The Blinding of Prithviraj

The story of Prithiviraj does not end here. As a prisoner in Ghor he was presented before Mahmud, where he looked Ghori straight into the eye

Ghori ordered him to lower his eyes, whereupon a defiant Prithiviraj scornfully told him how he had treated Ghori as a prisoner and said that the eyelids of a Rajputs eyes are lowered only in death.On hearing this, Ghori flew into a rage and ordered that Prithviraj's eyes be burnt with red hot iron rods

This heinous deed being done, Prithiviraj was regularly brought to the court to be taunted by Ghori and his courtiers. In those days Prithiviraj was joined by his former biographer Chand Bardai, who had composed a ballad-biography on Pritiviraj in the name of Prithviraj Raso (Songs of Prithviraj). Chand Bardai told Prithiviraj, that he should avenge Ghori's betrayal and daily insults.

The Blind Prithviraj Avenges the Injustice done to him

The two got an opportunity when Ghori announced a game of Archery. On the advice of Chand Bardai, Prithviraj, who was then at court said he would also like to participate. On hearing his suggestion, the courtiers guffawed at him and he was taunted by Ghori as to how he could participate when he could not see. Whereupon, Prithiviraj told Mahmud Ghori to order him to shoot, and he would reach his target.

Ghori became suspicious and asked Prithviraj why he wanted Ghori himself to order and not anyone else. On behlaf of Prithiviraj, Chand Bardai told Ghori that he as a king would not accept orders from anyone other than a king. His ego satisfied, Mahmud Ghori agreed.

On the said day, Ghori sitting in his royal enclosure had Prithiviraj brought to the ground and had him unchained for the event. On Ghori's ordering Prithviraj to shoot, we are told Prithiviraj turned in the direction from where he heard Ghori speak and struck Ghori dead with his arrow. This event is described by Chand Bardai in the couplet, "Dus kadam aggey, bees kadam daey, baitha hai Sultan. Ab mat chuko Chouhan, chala do apna baan." (Ten feet ahead of you and twenty feet to your right, is seated the Sultan, do not now miss him Chouhan, release your baan - arrow).

Thus ended the story of the brave but unrealistic Prithviraj Chouhan - the last Hindu ruler of Delhi. Delhi was to remain under Muslim rule for the next 700 years till 1857 and under British rule till 1947. Those few Hindus who came close to liberating Delhi during the seven centuries of Muslim rule were Rana Sanga in 1527, Raja (Hemu) Vikramaditya in around 1565 (2nd battle of Panipat), and Shrimant Vishwas Rao who was the Peshwa's son and was co-commander of the Maratha forces in the 3rd battle of Panipat in 1761. Metaphorically speaking, the next Hindu ruler to actually preside over Delhi was to be Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of Independent India (and Jawarharlal Nehru - who was the President's first Minister)

Would it be possible to revive our pride and glory?

In today's scenario when each community is fighting for his own right would it be possible by the same way can we retain our pride and glory . The most important question is what was our social status in past and what was the reason behind that satus . Was it Rajput were united and able to conquer any other community on their muscle power . No , it was not so, our dignity was because of the sacrifice ,truth , and justice which we did to public . Every Kshatriy should atleast read "Geeta " once . In Mahabharat when Arjun see the faces of -Bhisma , Drona , Ashwasthama and his own cousins, uncles , friends , nephews . He felt like impotent and helpless and says - Even if he will be killed, then also he will not fight with them and he leaves his famous Gandiva (Bow) and arrow and return backs from field (Ranbhoomi ). We all are in same position we really do not want to fight . Cowardness always depends on result that's every decision is based selfcentred or not willing to work (fight ). If the decision of sciety will depend on to loose or win then society will not be able to do the duty properly . We should not have mindset of anti community (Jat, Gujjars or Pandit ) beacusece if we will keep fighting with other communities then we will never be able to achieve our ultimate goal i.e to rule this land and help the needy ones . What govt. plans that Rajputs should always be fighting with themselves or with other communities . We should understand this conspiracy and remember the defination of Kshatriya- One who clearly protects his subjects is brave , has control over his senses and whose nature is to punish the wrong doers is called a KSHATRIYA.

Who is Rajput ?

शूरबाहूषु लोकोऽयं लम्बते पुत्रवत् सदा ।
तस्मात् सर्वास्ववस्थासु शूरः सम्मानमर्हित।।

न िह शौर्यात् परं िकंचित् ित्रलोकेषु िवधते।
शूरः सर्वं पालयित सर्वं शूरे पर्ितिष्ठतम् ।।

Arms of the brave (kshatriya) always support and sustain the people like (a father his) son.
A brave (kshatriya) is, for this reason, honoured by all, in all situations.
There is nothing in all the three worlds, which is beyond (the reach of) bravery.
Brave (kshatriya) sustains all, and all depend upon the brave.

(Mahabharata, Shanti Parva, 99. 17-18)

Rajput, (Sanskrit: raja-putra: "son of a king") is a hindu kshatriya caste. The Rajputs trace their origins to the ancient Kshatriya dynasties of India. It is estimated that currently there are 12 million Rajputs.

Rajputs (Rajaputra) are a sub-group of hindu Kshatriya varna. They have a hindu Jati (an endogamous group within the Hindu social system). Rajputs are literally sons-of-kings. They are divided into 36 major clans, names of which are recorded in several texts including the Kumarpala Charita of Jayasimha, and Prithviraj Raso of Chandbardai.

The Rig Veda is the first and most important of the four Vedas and rajput rishis (rajrishi) are mentioned in it. To each of its hymns the name of the seer or Rishi to whom it was revealed is prefixed. It thus becomes evident on the authority of these very names (such as Vasishta, Viswamitra, Agastya, etc.), all of which belong to men born in various manvantaras, that centuries, and perhaps millenniums, must have elapsed between the dates of their composition. The Gayatri, the most sacred hymn of the Rig Veda, is taken from the third of the ten cycles of hymns, the cycle of the Rajaputra Sage Viswamitra.

राजपुत्रौ कुशलिनौ भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ ।
सर्वशाखामर्गेन्द्रेण सुग्रीवेणािभपालितौ ।।

The two brothers, rajaputra Rama and Lakshmana, fare well protected by Sugriva, the lord of all monkeys.

(Mahabharata, Ramopakhayana, 3.266.61)
Bhagwan Ram and Lakshmana are referred to as Rajaputra in Mahabharata. Bhagwan Buddha was also referred to as Rajaputra in Buddhist texts. Dr. Rhys Davids in his "Buddhism, Its History and Literature: Page 27" says about Lord Buddha:
The family name was certainly Gautama.......It is a curious fact that Gautama is still the family name of the Rajput chiefs of Nagara, the village which has been identified with Kapilavastu.

स राजपुत्रो वव्र्धे आशु शुक्ल इवोडुपः ।
आपूर्यमाणः िपत्र्िभः काष्ठािभिरव सोऽन्वहम्।।

As the moon, in its waxing fortnight, develops day after day, so the rajaputra [Parikshit] very soon developed luxuriantly under the care and full facilities of his guardian grandfathers.

(Srimad Bhagavatam, 1.12.311)
Abhimanyu's son Parikshit is called Rajaputra in Bhagvat Purana. Rajaputras have also been referred to in Kautilya's (350-283 B.C) Arthashashtra, Kalidasa's (1st century B.C) Malvikagnimitra, Asvaghosha's (80-150 A.D.) Saundarananda, Banbhatta's (7th century A.D.) Harshacharita and Kadambari and Kalhana's (12th century A.D.) Rajatarangini.

Damodarpur copper-plate inscription of Kumaragupta III (533 A.D) records that the Governor of Bhukti of Pundravardhana, Rajaputra-Dev-Bhattaraka, was a son of the emperor, bearing the title Uparika Maharaja and 'rendering his homage to the king'. Rajputra are also mentioned in Sumandala Copper Plate inscription of Prithvigraha, Gupta era (570 A.D). There are Rajputra references in many Licchavi inscriptions (Recorded in D.R. Regimi's, Inscriptions of Ancient Nepal, Abhinav Publications, ISBN 0391025597). Rajputra Vajraratha, Babharuvarma, and Deshavarma are mentioned in the inscriptions of Sikubahi (Shankhamul) which describe the reigns of Licchavi kings Gangadeva (567-573 A.D) and Amshuvarma (605-621 A.D) respectively. The inscriptions of Sanga mentions the name of Rajputra Vikramasena, Gnoli inscription mentions Rajaputra Jayadeva, inscription of Deopatan mentions Rajputra Shurasena, and the inscriptions of Adeshwar mentions the Rajaputras Nandavarma, Jishnuvarma and Bhimavarma.

In 606 A.D. King Harshavardhana of Kannauj was crowned as Rajaputra Siladitya. Following excerpt from Page 146, of Advanced History of India written by R.C. Majumdar, H.C. Raychaudhuri, and Kaukinkar Datta, ISBN 0333 90298 X:

It is however, certain that Harsha found himself at the head of the kingdom of his brother as well as that of his brother-in-law. But he contended himself at first with the modest title of Rajaputra Siladitya.
Apshad inscription of Adityasena (8th century A.D) mentions Madhavagupta who is identical with Madhavgupta, the Malawa Rajaputra of Bana's Harshacharita. Nadol Plates of 1161 A.D. mention Rajaputra Kirtipal, the progenitor of Songara (Svarnagiri) Chauhan dynasty of Jalore. Delhi Shivalik Pillar inscription, dating to A.D. 1163 of Chauhan King Virgharaj IV (Bisaldev) refers to his Mahamantri (Chief Minister) as Rajaputra Sallakshanpal.

MAHARANA PRATAP JI

Maharana Pratap - Mewar's greatest hero

Born: May 9, 1540 in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan Father's Name: Maharana Udai Singh II Mother's Name: Rani Jeevant Kanwar Died: January 29, 1597 in Chavand Maharana Pratap was born on May 9th 1540 in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan. His father wasMaharana Udai Singh II and his mother was Rani Jeevant Kanwar. Maharana Udai Singh II ruled the kingdom of Mewar, with his capital at Chittor. Maharana Pratap was the eldest of twenty-five sons and hence given the title of Crown Prince. He was destined to be the 54th ruler of Mewar, in the line of the Sisodiya Rajputs.

In 1567, when Crown Prince Pratap Singh was only 27, Chittor was surrounded by the Mughal forces of Emperor Akbar. Maharana Udai Singh II decided to leave Chittor and move his family to Gogunda, rather than capitulate to the Mughals. The young Pratap Singh wanted to stay back and fight the Mughals but the elders intervened and convinced him to leave Chittor, oblivious of the fact that this move from Chittor was going to create history for all times to come.

In Gogunda, Maharana Udai Singh II and his nobles set up a temporary government of the kindom of Mewar. In 1572, the Maharana passed away, leaving the way for Crown Prince Pratap Singh to become the Maharana. However, in his later years, the late Maharana Udai Singh II had fallen under the influence of his favorite queen, Rani Bhatiyani, and had willed that her son Jagmal should ascend to the throne. As the late Maharana's body was being taken to the cremation grounds, Pratap Singh, the Crown Prince decided to accompany the dead body of the Maharana. This was a departure from tradition as the Crown Prince did not accompany the body of the departed Maharana but instead prepared to ascend the throne, such that the line of succession remained unbroken. Pratap Singh, in

deference to his father's wishes, decided to let his half-brother Jagmal become the next king. However, knowing this to be disastrous for Mewar, the late Maharana's nobles, especially the Chundawat Rajputs, forced Jagmal to leave the throne to Pratap Singh. Unlike Bharat, Jagmal did not willingly give up the throne. He swore revenge and left for Ajmer, to join the armies of Akbar, where he was offered a jagir - the town of Jahazpur - in return for his help. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Pratap Singh became Maha Rana Pratap Singh I, 54th ruler of Mewar in the line of the Sisodiya Rajputs.

The year was 1572. Pratap Singh had just become the Maharana of Mewar and he had not been back in Chittor since 1567. His old fort and his home beckoned to him. The pain of his father's death, and the fact that his father had not been able to see Chittor again, troubled the young Maharana deeply. But he was not the only one troubled at this time. Akbar had control of Chittor but not the kingdom of Mewar. So long as the people of Mewar swore by their Maharana, Akbar could not realize his ambition of being the Jahanpanah of Hindustan. He had sent several emissaries to Mewar to get Rana Pratap to agree to sign a treaty but the letter was only willing to sign a peace treaty whereby the sovereignty of Mewar would be intact. In the course of the year 1573, Akbar sent six diplomatic missions to Mewar to get Rana Pratap to agree to the former's suzerainty but Rana Pratap turned down each one of them. The last of these missions was headed by Raja Man Singh, the brother-in-law of Akbar himself. Maharana Pratap, angered that his fellow Rajput was aligned with someone who had forced the submission of all Rajputs, refused to sup with Raja Man Singh. The lines were completely drawn now - Akbar understood that Maharana Pratap would never submit and he would have to use his troops against Mewar.

With the failure of efforts to negotiate a peace treaty in 1573, Akbar blockaded Mewar from the rest of the world and alienated Mewar's traditional allies, some of whom were Maharana Pratap's own kith and kin. Akbar then tried to turn the people of the all-important Chittor district against their king so they would not help Pratap. He appointed Kunwar Sagar Singh, a younger brother of Pratap, to rule the conquered territory, However, Sagar, regretting his own treachery, soon returned from Chittor, and committed suicide with a dagger in the Mughal Court. Shakti Singh, Pratap's younger brother now with the Mughal army, is said to have fled the Mughal court temporarily and warned his brother of Akbar's actions.

In preparation for the inevitable war with the Mughals, Maharana Pratap altered his administration. He moved his capital to Kumbhalgarh, where he was born. He commanded his subjects to leave for the Aravali mountains and leave behind nothing for the approaching enemy - the war would be fought in a mountain terrain which the Mewar army was used to but not the Mughals. It is a testament to the young king's respect amongst his subjects that they obeyed him and left for the mountains. The Bhils of the Aravalis were completely behind him. The army of Mewar now raided Mughal trade caravans going from Delhi to Surat. A section of his army guarded the all important Haldighati Pass, the only way to get into Udaipur from the North. Maharana Pratap himself undertook several penances, not because his finances forced him to do so, but because he wished to remind himself, and all his subjects, why they were undertaking this pain - to win back their freedom, their right to exist as they wished. He foreswore that he would eat from leaf-plates, would sleep on the floor and would not shave. In his self-inflicted state of penury, the Maharana lived in mud-huts made from mud and bamboo.

In 1576, the famous battle of Haldighati was fought with 20,000 Rajputs against a Mughal army of 80,000 men commanded by Raja Man Singh. The battle was fierce though indecisive, to the Mughal army's astonishment. Maharana Pratap's army was not defeated but Maharana Pratap was surrounded by Mughal soldiers. It is said that at this point, his estranged brother,Shakti Singh, appeared and saved the Rana's life. Another casualty of this war was Maharana Pratap's famous, and loyal, horse Chetak, who gave up his life trying to save his Maharana.

After this war, Akbar tried several times to take over Mewar, failing each time. Maharana Pratap himself was keeping up his quest for taking Chittor back. However, the relentless attacks of the Mughal army had left his army weaker, and he barely had enough money to keep it going. It is said that at this time, one of his ministers, Bhama Shah, came and offered him all this wealth - a sum enabling Maharana Pratap to support an army of 25,000 for 12 years. It is said that before this generous gift from Bhama Shah, Maharana Pratap, anguished at the state of his subjects, was beginning to lose his spirit in fighting Akbar.

In one incident that caused him extreme pain, his children's meal - bread made from grass - was stolen by a dog. It is said that this cut into Maharana Pratap's heart deeply. He began to have doubts about his resolute refusal to submit to the Mughals. Perhaps in one of these moments of self doubt - something each and every human being goes through - Maharana Pratap wrote to Akbar demanding "a mitigation of his hardship". Overjoyed at this indication of his valiant foe's submission, Akbar commanded public rejoicing, and showed the letter to a literate Rajput at his Court, Prince Prithiraj. He was the younger brother of Rai Singh, the ruler of Bikaner, a State established some eighty years earlier by the Rathores of Marwar. He had been compelled to serve Akbar because of his kingdom's submission to the Mughals.

An award-winning poet, Prithiraj was also a gallant warrior and a longtime admirer of the brave Maharana Pratap Singh. He was astonished and grieved by Maharana Pratap's decision, and told Akbar the note was the forgery of some foe to defame the Mewar king. "I know him well," he explained, "and he would never submit to your terms." He requested and obtained Akbar's permission to send a letter to Pratap, ostensibly to ascertain the fact of his submission, but really with a view to prevent it. He composed the couplets that have become famous in the annals of patriotism:

The hopes of the Hindu rest on the Hindu; yet the Rana forsakes them. But for Pratap, all would be placed on the same level by Akbar; for our chiefs have lost their valour and our females their honour. Akbar is the broker in the market of our race: he has purchased all but the son of Udai (Singh II of Mewar); he is beyond his price. What true Rajput would part with honour for nine days (nauroza); yet how many have bartered it away? Will Chittor come to this market ...? Though Patta (an affectionate name for Pratap Singh) has squandered away wealth (on warfare), yet he has preserved this treasure. Despair has driven man to this market, to witness their dishonour: from such infamy the descendant of Hamir (Hamir Singh) alone has been preserved. The world asks, from where does the concealed aid of Pratap emanate? None but the soul of manliness and his sword ... The broker in the market of men (Akbar) will one day be surpassed; he cannot live forever. Then will our race come to Pratap, for the seed of the Rajput to sow in our desolate lands. To him all look for its preservation, that its purity may again become resplendent.

The now-famous letter led to Pratap reversing his decision and not submitting to the Mughals, as was his initial but reluctant intention. After 1587, Akbar relinquished his obsessive pursuit of Maharana Pratap and took his battles into Punjab and India's Northwest Frontier. Thus for the last ten years of his life, Maharana Pratap ruled in relative peace and eventually freed most of Mewar, including Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh, but not Chittor. Bhagwat Singh Mewar: "Maharana Pratap Singh (was) called the light and life of the Hindu community. There were times when he and his family and children ate bread made of grass." Maharana Pratap became a patron of the Arts. During his reign Padmavat Charita and the poems of Dursa Ahada were written. Palaces at Ubheshwar, Kamal Nath and Chavand bear testimony to his love of architecture. These buildings, built in the dense hilly forest have walls adorned with military-style architecture. But Pratap's broken spirit overpowered him in the twilight of his years. His last moments were an appropriate commentary on his life, when he swore his successor, Crown Prince Amar Singh to eternal conflict against the foes of his country's independence. Maharana Pratap was never able to win back Chittor but he never gave up fighting to win it back.

In January 1597, Rana Pratap Singh I, Mewar's greatest hero, was seriously injured in a hunting accident. He left his body at Chavand, aged 56, on January 29, 1597. He died fighting for his nation, for his people, and most importantly for his honor.
