Bravery of rajputs

When Sher Shah heard that Humayun had escaped cleanly, he suspected that Rao must have colluded with him. He got upset and immediately ran to Marwar. Rao ji was already ready to go to Ajmer, now leaving the route of Merte, walk through the route of Jetaran. The Faujdar of Jodhpur went to Kosana on the orders of Rao ji and took arrangements for the procession of Rani Uma Dei from the rulers of Merte. Both the rulers of Merte and Asa ji, while leaving, were able to blossom with the government of the queen. The prince came to Merte, Asa ji went to Jaisalmer. Rao ji had given a Nadirshahi order that you should not stay in our rule from today.

When Rao ji reached Ajmer, Sher Shah heard that he had eighty thousand riders. On hearing this he fell silent. The courage was gone. He did not step forward, but Bairam ji Merte said - "If you walk right, I will drive Rao ji away. The strife and divisions of Hindus have always deserted the country and have always given defeat to the garrisons. This Bairam ji was the sardar of Merte and the father of that brave Jaimal, who made Akbar chew his gram in the siege of Chittor and in whose name the whole of Rajasthan is proud to this day. Rao ji threw him out of Merte. To avenge this, he had gone to Sher Shah.

Sher Shah did not believe Bairam's words, he walked forward with a sigh, but now he reached very close to Ajmer, so he asked him to show your intelligence. Bairam said – Very good! Therefore, he wrote the orders of this Majmoon in Persian in the name of the chieftains of Rao Maldevji – "We have come this far by being compelled by the constant requests of you sahibs. Now, as per your promise, arrest Rao ji and bring him to us. Ferozies are sent for expenses. (The Firozians used to call the Firoz Shahi coins that were in circulation during this time.)

After this, after asking for many shields, he placed these orders on their thrones and sent the shield in which the order was in the name of the chieftain, he was sent to the same chieftain for sale and told the sellers to pay the price at which they should come. Don't care about profit or loss. Then many Ferojis took some of the Sher Shahi treasury with them and the rest were decorated by Rao ji in the Urdu market and sold them at cheap prices by the hands of their men. In this way, the chieftains of Rao ji bought cheap expensive shields from the necessity of fighting.

By taking this action, Bairam ji appeared in the service of Rao Maldev in the night and requested that you snatched the Medat from me and killed Rao Jaisati of Bikaner. So if we meet Sher Shah, it will be perfectly fine for us, but why should your chieftains go to meet him? Galiban He has taken a lot of bribe.

Rao ji- "Aw, I am not aware of this. Is there any proof of this?"

Bairam - "Why not proof? Look at the shields of your chieftains. In their thrones are the orders of the emperor. Apart from this, lakhs of Firozis have been taken from the emperor. Will it not be sold in the market?

Bairam ji left this sparkler and kept walking, but Rao ji fell in a daze. When a man sent a man to find out about the Firozites, he went out to all the nobles. When asked him, he got the answer that his own men have been sold. When he came to Sardar Mujre the next day, Rao ji saw new shields near him and said, Where did it come from? The answer was that they have been bought from merchants.

Rao ji kept everything under the pretext of seeing. After the court was sacked, he looked after him and found the same decrees which Bairam ji had mentioned. When a scribe was called and got him studied, then Mazmoon also turned out to be the same. Now it is sure that the Sardar people will definitely betray him. No doubt Bairam's trick worked, but that was not the reason. The move itself was good, but because Rao had already had some doubts about his chieftains. Had it not been so, he would have hidden this decree in the shields of the clan chieftains, would they not have got any other place! And then everyone would buy new shields. These details did not come in the mind of Rao ji. Kumar was already getting angry with Ram, now he kept getting angry with the chieftains too. Immediately ordered that the army should march from here.

This order created panic in the entire army. Purjosh Rajput was making preparations to take out his dreams. Some were wielding swords, some were practicing arrows and some were handling their uniforms. The joy of fighting the next day was spread in the whole army that suddenly this order of Rao ji came out.

The Sardars were immediately shocked that Rao ji got angry with us, otherwise he would not have ordered to leave the battle won and travel like this. All of them gathered and appeared in the service of Rao ji and requested that you should not keep any kind of insolence in your heart from our side. We will not leave your side till we die. We will give our lives by fighting but we will not turn our backs in the field, we have not met Sher Shah Suri at all. Surely someone has deceived you. But Rao ji could not believe it and the army started preparing to march.

Sher Shah, seeing the enemy running like this in the field, chased Rao ji with the courage of Bairam ji and other conspirators. When Rao ji descended into the Sumbal river near Babra district Jaitaran, his Surma chieftain Zeta and Kompa appealed - "The land that we have left behind was your conquest and was in our possession for only a few days. . But now beyond here is the property of our ancestors. We are not such hypocrites to easily leave the country of our forefathers and go away. You go, go happily, we will fight Sher Shah fiercely right here. Let him also see how ruthlessly the Rajputs give their lives by fighting for the land.

Rao ji said – "It is pointless to fight here. If we go now, we will reach Jodhpur and fight." But Zeta and Kompa did not agree. They turned against the brave Rathores who played for their ten thousand lives and fell on the emperor army and fought so fiercely that the emperor understood, now lost, now lost. But what could ten thousand Rajputs do against fifty thousand men? Yes, he showed the example of Rajput courage that Fatehpur Sikri. Haldighati has been manifested time and again in the plains of Chittorgarh and if all were farmland. But the coin of his bravery was deposited on the heart of the emperor. Sher Shah thanked God twice and said to the chieftains - "There was a great deal of goodness or else the Sultanate of India had gone out of hand for a handful of millet."

On receiving the news of the defeat on the second day, Rao ji turned towards the service and wrote to Jodhpur that make a lot of preparations for the fort and send the queens to us. Give the same message to the rude queen. As soon as the fortress got the order, all the queens were sent to serve. This place is thirty kos to the west of Jodhpur. And after repairing the fort himself, he got ready to fight and die. The Rathors who had parted ways after being saddened by Sardar Rao's insolence, and some of those who had survived from among Zeta and Kompa's companions, all joined together in the service of the Ruthi Rani. In this way, a large group of people who play for their lives with the queen was prepared. Despite the constant cursing of the fortress, the queen did not swerve.

Sher Shah himself did not come, but he sent his chieftain Khawas Khan with five thousand soldiers to Fateh Jodhpur. He came and surrounded the fort. The fortress fought with him for many days, but now that all the water of the fort was spent, he opened the door and died fighting a fierce battle. The fort was captured by Khawas Khan. In this way Rao ji's insolence and arrogance forcefully gave the flag of Fateh in the hands of the enemies.

Even after the death of Zeta and Kompa, Rao ji had seventy thousand soldiers. Had he come to Jodhpur instead of serving and fought with all his might, it was sure that the emperor would have been defeated, but it came to pass that five thousand men encircled Jodhpur and won. Where Rajputs have shown immense valor, many times they have also given evidence of their ignorance of strategy.

Khawas Khan took possession of the fort and sent a part of the army to Bikaner, he should put Rao Jaisati's son Kalyanmal on the throne. Similarly, along with Bairam ji also sent a small army to conquer Merta.

In this, Khawas Khan got the news that the Rathores were gathering in the curse. He reached there immediately and told the rude queen that either fight with us or vacate the place. The queen replied that I am ready to fight, whenever you want, you can come. I am a woman, so am I the daughter of Rajput.

Khawas Khan consulted his chieftains about what to do now.

He said- 'A few Rajputs had created trouble by fighting with the emperor.

There was no king with him. If he had, I don't know what would have happened. Now what's the need to get into an ugly fight with them again? It is true that the king is not here, but the queen is there. Her chieftains will fight hard to save the honor of their queen, and the queen herself does not seem to be suppressed. ran away from the front." The chieftains replied that it was not so much a problem not to fight the woman as it was to lose her; finally, it was decided to seek the king's opinion in the matter.

The emperor was in Ajmer at that time and was planning to attack Rana Udai Singh. As soon as Khawas Khan's application reached, he replied that now do not disturb the hive of these swarms. The country which has come under occupation, consider it lucky. Yes, if he himself comes to fight then do not leave the field. Yes, he was told that where my Lashkar is lying, if there is an order, then I should go and settle a village there so that I may also leave some mark on your country.

The queen said - "The name lives by virtue, not by setting up a village. At this time you are the prince of Jodhpur, if you treat Riya, keep her at ease, you will make you memorable."

Khawas Khan requested- "May God bless your tongue. Whatever I can do with my own hands is good, then I do not know whether I should stay here or not.

The queen consulted with her chieftains. He said- "What a loss another village will grow in his country." Thus the queen accepted the request of Khawas Khan and that noble man left from there in Khawaspur Samvat 1600.
