- This battle was considered so unique and unparalleled in the Hindu
history of those days that in order to celebrate it, Rana Kumbha erected a
colossal and artistic pillar of victory at Chitod, which still stands to the
admiration of all visitors! In a like manner, did Rana Kumbha beat down
Sultan Kutbuddin of Gujarat when the latter attacked Kumbhalgad, and
Kutbuddin had ultimately to sue for peace and save his life. - Even after Rana Kumbha, Rajputana claims so many brave and
capable leaders of men that whole volumes ought really to be devoted to the
generations that produced each of them. But, our recent histories are so
much haunted by those of the Muslim and European nations, that they fight
shy of recording the glorious acts of the Hindus—it is, in fact, a clear proof
of the absence of any independent research made by them and of their
glaring ignorance! Fortunately, the contemporary Rasos, written honestly
and with a rare literary flavour, and inspired by the exceptional valour of the
Hindus of the times, are available here and there. Prithviraj Raso, Hameer
Raso, Chhatrasal Raso and many others—beautiful heroic ballads and
narrative poems of varied lengths—are to be had even today. But God
knows if these historians know them even by name! Again, modern
historical research has discovered many rock inscriptions not only in
Rajputana, but in the caves at various other places. They also are likely to
help a lot in re-writing the history of these Hindu heroes. But the present
doesn’t seem to be the proper time to undertake that work on a major
institutional basis! Till such a propitious time comes, smaller institutions or
individual scholars can start, if not the actual research work, at least, the
work of collection of this vast deal of source material. Such a fond hope can
safely be entertained, if we remember the celebrated name of Rajwade
alone!
Lodi Dynasty - After the end of the Sayyad Dynasty in A.D. 1450, some Lodis of
Afghan extraction ruled as Sultans at Delhi for some time. Of them all
Shikandar Lodi tried to consolidate his power during A.D. 1485 to 1517.
This Shikandar Lodi again was born of a Hindu mother, but like every other
Muslim ruler, he always had a stern eye upon the Hindus. He again
enforced the ban on the Hindu pilgrimages, which the Hindus had begun to
make in the meanwhile. He even forbade collective baths in holy rivers on
Parvani days. Nevertheless, as elsewhere, the Hindus resisted stubbornly
