[PART I]
 2

Chittorgarh is a fort where air screams history. The fort is not only
remembered for its brave Rajput folks but also for its valiant queen, Rani
Padmini. The heart touching story, the tale of Rani Padmini, a legendary
tale of valor, sacrifice, tragedy, honor and deceit which occurred in the
palace of Chittorgarh during 12th 13th century, is as follows:
Princess Padmini or Padmavati, was the daughter of King Gandharva
and Queen Champavati, of Singhal clan. Her father arranged a
Swayamvara, a ceremony where all Hindu kings and Rajputs are invited
to win the hand of the princess by showing their strength and eligibility.
King Rawal Ratan Singh of Chittor, who was married to Queen
Nagmati, won Princess Padminis hand by defeating a small state king,
Malkhan. King Rawal Ratan Singh returned to Chittor along with his
very beautiful second wife, Queen Padmini.
The beauty of Rani Padmini was legendary. Very fair and flawless
skinned, she was so delicately beautiful that one could literally see water
passing by her throat when she drank water, same when she ate betel
leaves. Poems of her beauty are written in the epic poem PADMAVAT,
by the poet Mallik Mohammed Jayasi in 1540 AD.
As we see that during those days, Chittor was ruled by brave and noble
Rajput warrior, King Ratan Rawal Singh, who, apart from being a loving
husband and a just ruler, was also a patron of the arts. All the artists,
dancers, craftsmen, musicians, poets, singers, etc were welcomed and
honored by the king. And among his most talented courtiers, was the
musician called as Raghav Chetak. But unknown to anybody, Raghav
Chetan was also a sorcerer and an ardent black magician .He used his
evil talents to run down his rivals and, unfortunately for him, was caught
red-handed in his dirty act of arousing evil spirits. On hearing this,King
Rawal Ratan Singh was furious and he banished Raghav Chetan from
his kingdom after blackening his face and making him ride a donkey.
This harsh punishment earned Ratan Singh an uncompromising enemy.
Now comes another lead of the story in picture, Alauddin Khilji.
Sulking after his humiliation, Raghav Chetan made his way towards
Delhi with the aim of trying to incite the Sultan of Delhi, Alauddin
Khilji, to attack Chittor.
 3

Raghav Chetak was aware of the fact that the Sultan of Delhi, Alauddin,
use to come to a forest on the outskirts of Delhi for deer hunting. He
settled there in that forest and played flute daily. One day, as luck
favoured Raghav Chetak , the Sultans hunt party entering the forest,
and he started playing a melodious tone on his flute. When the alluring
notes of Raghav Chetans flute reached the Sultans ears and amongst his
soldiers, they were amazed as to who could be playing a flute like a
professional with such mastery and excellence in a forest. The Sultan
dispatched his soldiers to fetch the person and, when Raghav Chetan
was brought before him, Sultan Alauddin Khilji invited him to come to
his court at Delhi. The cunning Raghav Chetan grabbed his opportunity
to incite the Sultan, and asked the king as to why he wants to have an
ordinary musician like himself when there were many other beautiful
objects to be had. Trying to read between the lines and pondering on
what exactly the musician meant, Alauddin asked him to clarify. Raghav
Chetak proved himself as a traitor by detailing Rani Padminis
beauty,the queen of his own motherland. Alauddins lust aroused on
hearing this and he was provoked to attack Chittor and win Rani
Padmini by force, as he thought that lady of such a beauty deserved to be
in his harem.
Alauddin Khilji started for Chittor on hearing unparalleled beauty of
Rani Padmini, wife of King Ratan Rawal Singh. On seeing Chittor being
so heavily guarded, Alauddin Khilji felt disappointed. Desperate to see
the legendary beauty of Rani Padmini, he sent word to King Ratan Singh
that he looked upon Padmini as his sister and wanted to meet her, which
was a dishonorable and shameful act as women; especially queens
stayed behind the curtains, or purdah, and were never displayed to
stranger men. To escape Khilji and his vast army and to save his
kingdom, Raja Ratan Singh gave in and persuaded Rani Padmini to
fulfill the sultans demand and to meet him.
The queen agreed reluctantly and on one condition that she wont be
shown or presented to sultan directly, but sultan can only view her by
her reflection. Going mad and desperate to catch her glimpse, sultan
Alauddin Khilji agreed.
 4

The day arrived of their meeting and arrangements from both the side
were done. Khijli selected few of his best warriors along with him to the
fort who secretly made a careful observation of the fort in order to bring
down the impregnable forts defenses whereas from Queen Padminis
side, arrangement was done in such a clever way that the meeting place
were kept with few mirrors on which one of the mirror would be
carrying the reflection of the queen, but when looked upon the direction
of the reflection, i.e. to check the queen standing nearby, the queen
couldnt be seen at all. Such a clever plan was devised by the queen to
save her dignity and also at the same time to save her husband and her
kingdom from Sultans wrath.
What happens after their meeting? Was sultan Alauddin Khilji really
satisfied by just her glimpse? Is queen and her kingdom spared? Or was
queen handed over to Sultan to save Chittor? Was the cunning sorcerer,
Raghav Chetaks plan really succeded to push Chittor in doom? Will
Alauddins love lead to destruction? We will see that in PART 2.
Rani Padmini & Alauddin Khilji : The saga of Love, Hate and Death
[PART II]
Khilji , after seeing Ranis image in mirror , the urge to obtain her
increased 100 times , and there itself he started to plan for how he should
secure Rani Padmini for himself . There again, Rani actually did not
reveal herself, but fooled Khilji by displaying a beautiful girl amongst
her maids. The true beauty of Rani was not revealed to Khilji, but Khilji
was unaware of this cheating. However, he was very happy and grateful,
thanked the host, Raja Ratan Rawal Singh courteously. On returning to
Delhi, he somehow managed to get Raja Ratan Rawal Singh
accompanying him, during which, Alauddin seized the opportunity,
kidnapped the king and hold him as hostage and demanded Rani
Padmini.
As it was rightly said, fools sit and cry whereas a wise doesnt waste his
moment shedding tears, but jump into action and move forward. The
chamber of Rani Padminis palace was now in great tension. But that did
not stop Rani to thwart Khiljis plan. Two brave generals of Songara
Chauhan clan, Gora and Badal, came to aid Rani Padmini. The night was
spent in planning and brainstorming, and using their utmost cunning
 5

skills, all three devised a plan on how to backfire Khiljis game back on
him. Those generals sent back a word that Padmini would be given to
Alauddin the next morning. On the following day at the crack of dawn,
dozens of curtained palanquins set off down the hill, each carried by six
humble bearers, left the fort and made their way towards Alauddins
camps. Far away from his camp Alauddin was watching the Queens
procession proceeding towards him and his joy knew no bounds. The
palanquins stopped before the tent where King Ratan Singh was being
held prisoner and the thought of handing his wife, the mother of the
land, to lustful Khilji, saddened and mortified him. But to his surprise
and a rude shock to Alauddin, from the palanquins came out, not his
queen and her maid servants, but fully armed soldiers dressed as women
in order to fool Khilji. The Rajput soldiers quickly freed Ratan Singh
and galloped away towards Chittor on horses grabbed from Alauddins
stables. Gora died, along with 7000 Rajput soldiers, while fighting
Alauddins men while Badal succeeded in taking Rana alongside him
securely to fort of Chittor.
The Sultan now attacked Chittor with renewed vigor. Having lost 7,000
of its best warriors, Chittor could not hold out. The supplies within fort
were depleting. Surrender was unthinkable. Finally King Ratan Singh
decided to face Khiljis troop and ordered Rajputs to open gates of the
fort. When Rani heard of this decision, where the brave men of Chittor
were sends fighting with huge Delhi troops, she was sure her army of
men would succumb to war. And that is when the heart piercing decision
of Jauhar was made, rather than facing dishonor at the hands of
victorious enemy. The Rani and her entire entourage of women, the
wives of generals and soldiers, sent their children into hiding with loyal
retainers. They then dressed their wedding fine, slid their farewells and
singing ancient hymns, and boldly entered the mahal to performed
jauhar.
A huge pyre was lit in middle of the palace. Followed by their Queen,
all the women of Chittor jumped into the flames without fear and
deceived Alauddins army waiting outside. The men of Chittor witnessed
this incident with expressionless faces and thought with their
womenfolks dead, they had nothing to live for. They decided to perform
 6

Saka, where, each soldier got dressed in kesariya robes and turbans
.They charged out of the fort, smeared the holy ashes of their women on
their foreheads, flung open the gates of the fort and thundered down the
hill into the enemy ranks, to fight to the death, and fought tooth and nail
with Alauddins army till they all perished.
All Alauddin Khilji witnessed was tall flames roaring into sky, the scene
in front of him was unbelievably heart trenching. Mad for Rani, with his
sword in his hand he started to search high and low within the burnt
walls of Chittor palace, screaming her name, with only silence echoing
back to him.
Love is not only blind, but ruthless at times.

Rani Padmini And Alauddin Khilji: Separating Fact From Fiction

If reports are to be believed, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansalis next,
Padmavati, is based on Malik Muhammad Jayasis poem Padmavat.
Jayasis poem about Padmini and Khilji, however, does not have a
historical basis.
Historians have some understanding of what may have happened in
that fateful chapter of the lives of Rani Padmini and Alauddin Khilji.
After Bajirao Mastani, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is making another
period drama film, Padmavati, this time about Rani Padmini, the queen
of Chittorgarh, and Alauddin Khilji, the ruler of Delhi. According to
media reports, the film will feature a love story between Padmini and
Khilji.
The popular story says that when Khilji attacked Chittor, he fell for
Padmini on seeing her reflection in the mirror. This story was woven by
a well-known Indian poet, Malik Muhammad Jayasi, in 1540 AD, and
finds echo in Jawaharlal Nehru's Discovery of India as well.
Jayasis poem about Padmini and Khilji, however, is not accurate.
Historians have, in fact, come up with possible scenarios for what could
have actually happened.
According to Jayasis poem Padmavat, Rani Padmavati of Chittor was
the wife of Raja Ratansen (a name invented by Jayasi with no reference
in Mewar history) of Chittor during the reign of Allauddin Khilji. The
 7

correct name of Chittor's then ruler was Rawal Ratan Singh, the thirty-
fourth descendant of Bappa Rawal.
What Jayasis poem says
There were many talented artists in the court of Ratansen, one of whom
was a musician named Raghava Chetan. He was a sorcerer who used his
magical powers to target rivals. Once, he was caught red-handed while
trying to invoke evil spirits, after which Ratansen banished Raghava
from the kingdom after blackening his face. Raghava ran away to Delhi
and decided to take revenge by provoking Khilji to attack Chittor.
Raghava knew of a forest near Delhi where Khilji went hunting. One
day, he played his flute while Khilji was out hunting. The alluring notes
emanating from his flute attracted the attention of Khilji, who then asked
his soldiers to fetch the flute player. Thus, Raghava was taken to Khilji's
court.
After reaching Delhi, Raghava told Khilji about the unparalleled beauty
of Rani Padmini. That prompted Khilji to attack Chittor, but he found
the fort to be heavily defended. So he laid siege to the fort and forced
Ratansen to negotiate with him.
Desperate to capture the beautiful Padmini, Khilji sent a word to
Ratansen about him wanting to meet her. The Raja asked Padmini, who
flatly refused. However, on being persuaded by her beleaguered
husband, Rani Padmini agreed to let Khilji see her in the mirror.

Next, Khilji entered the fort with a group of select warriors who had
observed the fort's defences on their way to the palace. On seeing
Padmini in the mirror, Khilji decided that she must be his.

While returning to his camp, Khilji deceitfully kidnapped Ratansen and
took him as prisoner. Thereafter, he informed the Rajput Sardars that
Padmini should be handed over to him if they wanted to see their king
alive.
 8

The Rajput generals, led by two gutsy warriors, Gora and Badal, who
were related to Padmini, decided to beat Khilji at his game. They sent
out a word that Padmini would be handed over the next morning.

At the crack of dawn, 150 palanquins (in which royal ladies were carried
in medieval times) left the fort and made their way to Khilji's camp. The
palanquins stopped before a tent where King Ratansen was held
prisoner. To his surprise, armed Rajputs jumped out from the palanquins,
freed Ratansen and galloped away to Chittor, riding the horses grabbed
from Khilji's stable.

Khilji was furious. He ordered the army to storm Chittorgarh. However,

the army could not break into the fort. Due to a prolonged siege, food
supplies for the troops were running out. So Ratansen opened the fort
gates, and Rajputs rode out to fight. They were overpowered, and
achieved martyrdom. Rani Padmini and wives of thousands of warriors
preferred jauhar (fire is lit, and women jump into the flames) over losing
their honour to Khilji's army.

When Khilji entered the fort, all that he found were ashes of these brave
women. Their sacrifice has been kept alive by Bards in their songs,
where they praise women who preferred supreme sacrifice to dishonour.

When this author visited Chittorgarh Fort in 2008 and asked the guide
about the veracity of the mirror story, he said locals did not believe in it.

Having learnt what Jayasi's poem says, let us now read what the
Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan's book on Indian History says.

In January 1303, Khilji set out on his memorable campaign for the
conquest of Chittor. He received strong resistance from the Rajputs
under Rana Ratan Singh. The Rajputs offered heroic resistance for about
seven months and then, after the women had perished in the flames of
jauhar, the fort surrendered on August 26, 1303.
 9

Whilst later writers like Abu-l Fazl, Haji-ud-Dabir (note these two
authors use Padmini not as a name, but as a woman possessing special
attributes) have accepted the story that the sole reason for invasion of
Chittor was Khiljis desire to get possession of Padmini, many modern
writers are inclined to reject it altogether. They point out that the episode
of Padmini was first mentioned by Malik Jayasi in 1540 A.D. in his
poem Padmavat, which is a romantic tale rather than historical work.
Further, the later day writers who reproduced the story with varying
details, flourished long after the event, but their versions differed from
one another on essential points.
Yarn 2 by Jayasi

In Padmavat, Jayasi wrote that Padmini was the daughter of Raja

Gandharva Sen of Sri Lanka. The Lanka story has many contradictions.

1) The name Raja Gandharva Sen is nowhere found in Sinhalese history.

The then Buddhist rulers of Lanka had contacts mainly with the Pandya
kings of Tamil Nadu and none with Rajputana. The names of Lanka
rulers at the time were Vijayabahu III (1220-24), Bhuvanaikabahu I
(1281-83), Interregnum (1283-1302) and Vijayabahu V (1325-26 to
1344-45).

Instead, there is a strong possibility that Padmini was a princess of

Jaisalmer or of Sinhala, a village near Sojat in Pali district of Rajasthan.
In the history of Rajasthan, there are many references which indicate
that Rani Padmini was the eleventh wife of Rawal Ratan Singh among
his fifteen wives, as polygamy was prevalent among Rajput rulers then.
There is, however, no confirmation of her father being Rana Salsi
Tanwar as written in the book The Kingdom of Mewar by Irmgard
Meininger, a German author.

2) In Padmavat, there is a reference to a parrot who flew all the way

from Sri Lanka to Chittor as a messenger to inform Raja Ratansen, or
Rawal Ratan Singh, about the beauty of Padmini, daughter of the
Sinhala ruler Gandharvasen, making Ratansen travel all the way to the
 10

Sinhala kingdom to win the hand of Padmini. This narrative lacks

credibility since Lanka never had a king by that name.

3) Jayasi wrote this poem almost 237 years after Khilji's attack on
Chittor. The literature of that era is full of highly imaginative narratives,
and poets were known to gleefully use metaphors, alliterations and
imaginary personifications. There is also a reference in Padmavat to a
sorcerer called Raghav Chetan, who is believed to have been personified
as a parrot.

Contradictions in Jayasi's poem

Amir Khusro, the court poet of Khilji, who accompanied him during the
Chittor attack, did not write about Padmini, nor did he allude any
episode to her in his book Twarikh-e-Allai. To be fair, it is possible that
Khusro might not have wanted to further spoil the image of Khilji. So he
ignored the reference to Padmini. "According to Prof Habib, there is a
covert allusion to Padmini episode by Khusro in his Khazain-ul-Fatuh,
where he mentions the Queen of Sheba."

Equally important is the fact that Col James Tod did not refer to Khilji's
desire to capture the beautiful Padmini in his book The Annals and
Antiquities of Rajasthan.

There are many instances in history when court poets and writers have
followed the instructions of the ruling kings, and wrote histories
accordingly. For instance, the book Ain-i-Akbari by Abul Fazal, where
he was instructed not to write about Mehrunissa's -- later known as Nur
Jahan, wife of Mughal King Jahangir -- first marriage with an Afghan
Pathan. However, there is a mention of her in Tuzuk-e-Jahangari as his
beloved, and how his father had cheated on him.

It would not be wrong to say that Jayasi's poem Padmavat is a figment of

his poetic imagination. "It has also been argued that the invasion of
 11

Chittor was the natural expansionist policy of Khilji and no Padmini was
need for his casus belli".

The story of Khilji watching Padminis reflection in a mirror, or in a

well, as stated in Discovery of India by Pandit Nehru, could have been
based on a latter-day interpolation by some local poets. It could also be a
phoney myth popularised by some imaginative storytellers.

Having questioned the motive for Khilji's invasion of Chittor, "it should
be remembered that Khilji's lust for a Hindu queen is proved by the
known instances of Queen Kamala Devi of Gujarat and the daughter of
King Ramachandra of Devagiri. The story of Padmini should not be
totally rejected as a myth. But it is impossible, at the present state of
knowledge, to regard it definitely as a historical fact".

In Bajirao Mastani, Bhansali told audiences what a brave general Bajirao

Peshwa was. It prompted Col (retired) Anil Athale to write Why Bajirao
is India's greatest cavalry general. Having assuaged Maratha pride,
Bhansali got away with some historical distortions.

In Padmavati, Bhansali is trying to do a balancing act and be secular.

Thus, he might tell audiences how romantic the Sultan of Delhi was, that
his love for Padmini was as pure as the holy water of Zamzama, and the
sexual conquest of beautiful Hindu queens was the last thing on his
mind.

According to a report in the Indian Express, it is alleged by Rajput

protesters that Bhansali has deliberately added a dream sequence in his
movie which shows Khilji embracing and kissing Padmini, which is an
affront to the honour and name of Rani Padmini. It is also a slur on the
valour of thousands of Hindu Veeranganas who preferred to die by fire
rather than submit to the lust of barbaric invaders.

Bhansali might take refuge under the excuse that the film is based on the
poem Padmavat, whose historical significance is unconfirmed. But in the
 12

poem, there is no mention of the so-called dream sequence. Ultimately,

Bhansali might change the name of the movie, like he did with Goliyon
ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. Will it satisfy the nationalists?

Either way, the movie will attract protest like we saw in Jaipur recently.
A few things for sure -- it will get free publicity, be discussed on prime-
time television and become the next battleground between the
nationalists and votaries of selective freedom of speech.

Rani Padmini - A legendary beauty

Rani Padmini
In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Sultanate of Delhi - the kingdom set
up by the invaders was nevertheless growing in power. The Sultans
made repeated attack on Mewad on one pretext or the other. Here we
may recollect the story of Rani Padmani who was the pretext for Allah-
ud-din Khilji's attack on Chittod. In those days Chittod was under the
Rule of King Ratansen, a brave and noble warrior-king. Apart, from
being a loving husband and a just ruler, Ratansen was also a patron of
the arts. In his court were many talented People one of whom was a
musician named Raghav Chetan. But unknown to anybody, Raghav
Chetan was also a sorcerer. He used his evil talents to run down his
rivals and unfortunately for him was caught red-handed in his dirty act
of arousing evil spirits.

On hearing this King Ratansen was furious and he banished Raghav

Chetan from his kingdom after blackening his face with face and making
him ride a donkey. This harsh Punishment earned king Ratansen an
 13

uncompromising enemy. Sulking after his humiliation, Raghav Chetan

made his way towards Delhi with -the aim of trying to incite the Sultan
of Delhi Ala-ud-din Khilji to attack Chittor.

On approaching Delhi, Raghav Chetan settled down in one of the forests

nearby Delhi which the Sultan used to frequent for hunting deer. One
day on hearing the Sultan's hunt party entering the forest, Raghav-
Chetan started playing a melodious tone on his flute. When the alluring
notes of Raghav-Chetan flute reached the Sultan's party they were
surprised as to who could be playing a flute in such a masterly way in a
forest.

The Sultan despatched his soldiers to fetch the person and when Raghav-
Chetan was brought before him, the Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji asked him
to come to his court at Delhi. The cunning Raghav-Chetan asked the
king as to why he wants to have a ordinary musician like himself when
there were many other beautiful objects to be had. Wondering what
Raghav-Chetan meant, Ala-ud-din asked him to clarify. Upon being told
of Rani Padmini's beauty, Ala-ud-din's lust was aroused and immediately
on returning to his capital he gave orders to his army to march on
Chittor.

But to his dismay, on reaching Chittor, Allah-ud-din found the fort to be

heavily defended. Desperate to have a look at the legendary beauty of
Padmini, he sent word to King Ratansen that he looked upon Padmini as
his sister and wanted to meet her. On hearing this, the unsuspecting
Ratansen asked Padmini to see the 'brother'. But Padmini was more
wordly-wise and she refused to meet the lustful Sultan personally.

On being persuaded by her husband Rana Ratansen, Rani Padmini

consented to allow Ala-ud-din to see her only in a mirror. On the word
being sent to Ala-ud-din that Padmini would see him he came to the fort
with his selected his best warriors who secretly made a careful
examination of the fort's defences on their way to the Palace.
 14

On seeing Padmini, in the mirror, the lustful 'brother', Allah-ud-din

Khilji decided that he should secure Padmini for himself. While
returning to his camp, Allah-ud-din was accompanied for some way by
King Ratansen. Taking this opportunity, the wily Sultan deceitfully
kidnapped Ratansen and took him as a prisoner into his camp and
demanded that Padmini come and surrender herself before Allah-ud-din
Khilji, if she wanted her husband King Ratansen alive again.

The Rajput generals decided to beast the Sultan at his own game and
sent back a word that Padmini would be given to Ala-ud-din the next
morning. On the following day at the crack of dawn, one hundred and
fifity palaquins (covered cases in which royal ladies were carried in
medieveal times) left the fort and made their way towards Ala-ud-din's
camps The palanquins stopped before the tent where king Ratansen was
being held prisoner. . Seeing that the palanquins had come from Chittor;
and thinking that they had brought along with them his queen, king
Ratansen was mortified. But to his surprise from the palanquins came
out, not his queen and her women servants but fully armed soldiers, who
quickly freed ; Ratansen and galloped away towards Chittor on horses
grabbed from Ala-ud-din's stables.

On hearing that his designs had been frustrated, the lustful Sultan was
furious and ordered his army to storm Chittor. But hard as they tried the
Sultans army could not break into the fort. Then Ala-ud-din decided to
lay seige to the fort. The seige was a long drawn one and gradually
supplied within the fort were depleted. Finally King Ratnasen gave
orders that the Rajputs would open the gates and fight to finish with the
besieging troops. On hearing of this decision, Padmini decided that with
their men-folk going into the unequal struggle with the Sultan's army in
which they were sure to perish, the women of Chittor had either to
commit suicides or face dishonour at the hands of the victorious enemy.

The choice was in favour of suicide through Jauhar. A huge pyre was lit
and followed by their queen, all the women of Chittor jumped into the
flames and deceived the lustful enemy waiting outside. With their
 15

womenfolk dead, the men of Chittor had nothing to live for. Their
charged out of the fort and fought on furiously with the vastly Powerful
array of the Sultan, till all of them perished. After this phyrrhic victory
the Sultan's troops entered the fort only to be confronted with ashes and
burnt bones of the women whose honour they were going to violate to
satisfy their lust.
These women who committed Jawhar had to perish but their memory
has been kept alive till today by bards and songs which glorify their act
which was right in those days and circumstances. Thus a halo of honour
is given to their supreme sacrifice.

When Alauddin Khilji begged naked to Rajput Real Story of

Padmavati
Date: Sometime in 1303

Place: Outskirts of Chittor, camp of Alauddin Khilji

Flashback:
Alauddin Khilji was one of the most brutal humans to have been ever
born on earth. He ascended the throne by killing his father-in-law cum
uncle and carrying his head on a spear inside Delhi on holy Ramazan.

Like Akbar the Great, he also considered himself to be a Prophet and

forced Qazis to give religious approvals to his whims and fetishes. The
number of rapes and murders he committed is surpassed only by the
brutality of those rapes and murders.

As other Muslim Sultans, he enjoyed sex with young boys. Malik Kafur
was his child sex-partner who rose to become his general. (Later, he
killed Alauddin Khilji and his family).

Prophet Alauddin Khilji will go down in history as killer of largest

number of Muslims (around 30000) and raping their women in one
single day. And yet, fools hail him as a Muslim icon!
 16

India has always been abundant with fools and traitors. Today we have
Barkha Dutts, Rajdeep Sardesais, Ravish Kumars, Arvind Kejriwals and
so many. Earlier there were Jai Chands, Ratipals and Ranmals.

Thanks to these foolish traitors, Alauddin could defeat brave heroes like
Hamir Dev of Ranathambhor, ransack Somnath temple among thousand
others, capture Gujarat, and now wanted to conquer Mewar.

He camped in outskirts of Chittor (Mewar) and called Rana Ratan Singh

for negotiations pretending to be a friend. Indians have always paid
heavily for trusting those rascals who were not loyal even to their
fathers. They assume invaders from western borders to be men of honor
like Indians and continue to be duped till today.

Rana Ratan Singh also trusted the pig Alauddin Khilji and went for
discussions. Alauddin showed his true colors and kidnapped him. And
set forth his demand that every Muslim Sultan from Ghori to Khilji to
Akbar to Aurangzeb has always put give me all your gold and women.

Every terrorist who invaded India was a pervert rapist far worse than
Osama Bin Laden of Al Qaeda or Baghadadi of ISIS.

(The story of Alauddin Khilji requesting to see Queen Padmini and

Rajputs allowing him to see her through mirror is a shameless myth that
originated from Padmavat a poem by Malik Muhammad Jayasi. We
Indians are such fools that we lose all sense of right and wrong when
appreciating art and poems. Fictions become facts just because they
sound musical and seem to be great Bollywood plots! Brave warriors
secure our happiness, and coward artists mint money from their
sacrifices!)

Rajputs agreed to send their women in Palkis (palanquins) next morning.

Situation:
 17

It is early morning. Alauddin Khilji has made all the plans and has
instructed his generals. They are to count the number of palanquins, and
ask palanquin carriers to leave. If anyone acts smart, kill him. Then take
out each woman, arrange them in order of their beauty and rank. Keep
Queen Padmini (Padmavati) in front. And bring in front of Sultan
Alauddin Khilji the Prophet who would conquer the world like
Alexander the Great!

Palanquins arrive before dawn. But before palanquin-carriers leave, the

Rajput women come out. And suddenly there is mayhem. No, they are
not women. They are Rajput warriors who are butchering the rapists like
vegetables.

One group of Rajputs led by brave Badal start ransacking one tent after
another in search of Rana Ratan Singh. The other group led by Gora
Badals uncle push through the center of camp in search of Alauddin
Khilji.

Badal finally locates Rana and frees him. He signals Gora and bows to
his uncle for one last time. They both know this is their last meeting.

Badal and his group quickly retract with Rana towards the fort. They
have little time left for the next plan of action.

Meanwhile Gora slices innumerable hands and heads and enters the
well-lit royal tent.

What happened next:

Alauddin Khilji is on bed straight ahead of Gora. Completely naked.

Panting like a dog. Jumping back and forth on top of a woman and
tearing her clothes to display bicep power. Looking at her as a dog leers
at a piece of meat.
 18

So engrossed is the beast in his animal instincts that he is completely

oblivious to the noise and shouts. Or it is a usual cacophony very similar
to banging shouts and moans in Khilji camp every night!

Alauddin does not notice that someone is witnessing his brave

performance. But the poor woman notices a change in lamp shadows
and raises an alarm.

And then:

Alauddin springs up in surprise. Sees his death in hands of a muscular

Rajput. The performance abruptly ends in an immediate showdown.

Hides behind the woman. She is his armor now. He knows that a Rajput
will die but not touch a woman.

The brave Sultan is weeping. Wet down, wet above, wet all over!
Running around the tent holding the woman in front. Sometimes
remembering Allah, sometimes begging Gora.

As he reaches the gate of tent, he pushes the woman to Gora and makes
a run for his life.

Gora moves to side so as to not touch the woman. He misses his target.

He realizes that the cost of dignity of one woman will now be thousands
of women.
But what could he do! It all happened within few moments. How could
he ditch the core instinct of a Hindu Rajput to treat every woman as
your own mother?

A Muslim Sultan fights to rape women. A Hindu fights to protect

women.
 19

The thoughts flash in his mind but it is too late. Alauddin is also late.

Before the pig could jump out of tent, he could not escape the touch of
Rajput sword. The sword tears apart his rear.

Alauddins men enter the tent seeing their Sultan grunting and running
naked oozing blood behind himself.

Gora fights valiantly and dispatches a lot many to Jannat. Heads, hands
fly everywhere. It is blood all over.

The hero says: Jai Eklingji for one last time in life. And sets an
example of valor that will inspire thousands of Agniveers till a single
Jihadi exists in this world.

Aftermath:

Chittor:

Alauddin sent his army to Chittor. The Rajputs, though outnumbered,

fought till death. When the Jihadis entered the fort shouting Allah-hu-
Akbar:, they found funeral pyres and ashes. All women had chosen to
burn themselves than be a sex-toy of Jihadis.

This was the second Jauhar after Ranathambhor few years ago. This was
the start of Sati practice.

It was not over though. Jihadis won one battle as they excelled in being
traitors. But could not stand long against brave Hindus.

Chittor was snatched back from Alauddin Khilji in 1311.

Death of Khilji dynasty:

 20

Alauddin Khiljis damaged rear reminded him of Rajputi sword for rest
of his life. He could no more walk straight, sit erect, sleep properly, or
bang any slave like a dog. Had to turn a goat.

He stopped going into military expeditions and chose to send his

generals instead. His eunuch gay-partner Malik Kafur became powerful
due to this. Sleeplessness, trauma, and pain turned Alauddin Khilji
medically insane within next 10 years.
Malik Kafur murdered a mad Alauddin Khilji in 1316 and blinded his
two sons before being killed himself.
That sword of Gora, that palanquin of Rajputs, that valor of Badal
sealed the destiny of Khilji dynasty.

No one dared to raise an eye over Chittor for next 230 years.

They tried the chutzpah again when Mughals came. Read what happened
to Akbar and Mughals.

And today, many Mughal Sultans are seen begging on Etawah railway
junction.

What Now:
What Now:

If we have any shame left, we must stand up to destroy the Khiljis

around. Instead we choose to glamorize rapist killing machines like
Alauddin Khilji by making films on them and casting top actors to play
their roles.

Perhaps there will be movies on Ajmal Kasab and Nirbhaya Rapist

tomorrow enacted by superstars!
 21

When money-minting artists tend to become spokespersons of valor and

sacrifice, and we find our bravery only in clapping in those shows, know
that we are now a bunch of cowards left to defend our Padminis.

But, There will also be Agniveers who will continue to destroy Khiljis.
Because we are loyal to the Goras, Badals, Prataps, Shivajis, Guru
Gobinds, Ahom heroes, Gorkha legends, and countless of warriors who
guaranteed that we can live with our head held high. No one else
matters.

Read this story to your kids. They will never become slaves of anyone.
And will know how to destroy terrorism.

What was great about Rani Padmawati of Chittorgarh? Where can I read
more about her?
The Sacrifice of Rani Padmavati
The story of Rani Padmini / Padmavati of Chittor is a blend of historic
facts and folklore. It is the story of the courage, medieval chivalry and
sacrifice exhibited by the Rajput warriors, both men and women.

Though the historic facts behind the story can only be clearly ascertained
of Ala-ud-Dins conquest of Chittor in 1303 with the defeat of the king
Ratan Singh (as told in Khazain Ul Futuh (English title: A Treasury of
Victory: The Campaigns of Ala-ud-din Khilji) by Amir Khusrau), I will
tell the story as narrated in Khuman Raysa, the great chronicle of the
Guhilot and Sisodia Rajputs (recompiled during 1572-1597 during the
reign of Maharana Pratap Singh) and as it exists in todays folklore.

Ala-ud-din-Khilji
 22

In 1296, Ala-ud-Din Khilji the nephew as well as son-in-law of Jalal-ud-

Din Khilji (Sultan of Delhi and the first emperor of the Khilji dynasty),
killed his uncle and marched on to Delhi with his head on a pike and
proclaimed himself king. Then he started the process of consolidation of
the Delhi Sultanate which over time would make him the most powerful
ruler in the history of the sub-continent and the second unifier of the
Indian subcontinent after the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. At the peak of
his rule, he dreamt of becoming a world conqueror and prefixed the title
of Sikandar Sani which means the Second Alexander. He is also known
as one of the very few emperors in history who repeatedly defeated the
plundering and warring Mongol armies.

Fort of Chittor
During that time, Mewar was the strongest Rajput kingdom and a bitter
opponent of the Delhi Sultanate. The seat of Mewar was the formidable
fort of Chittor, the largest fort in the sub continent. The fort had been
constructed in the 7th century AD by the Mauryans and had never been
sacked in its history. Spread across 700 acres the fort was situated on a
hill top and was extremely well fortified.

During Ala-ud-Dins reign the king of Mewar was Rana Ratan Singh. He
married Rani Padmini whose beauty and wit was famous across the
Rajputana. In his marriage, Ratan Singh also received a large dowry as a
gift from his father in law. Two of Ratan Singhs brothers, Raghav and
Chetan, who were also his courtiers, demanded a part of the dowry from
the king. Angered by their demands Ratan Singh expelled them from his
court and banished them from Mewar. Sulking after this humiliation,
Raghav and Chetan made their way towards Delhi with the aim of trying
to incite Ala-ud-din Khilji to attack Chittor. There in the Sultans court,
Raghav and Chetan praised the beauty of Padmavati to the extent that
Ala-ud-Dins lust was aroused. He had been planning to conquer Mewar
for a long time but his desire to take Padmavati as his mistress proved to
be the deciding factor that shifted his immediate focus towards Mewar
and the fort of Chittor.
 23

It was January 1303 when Ala-ud-Din marshaled his army, marched

south, and laid siege to Chittor. But seeing the fort and realizing that the
breaching its defenses would be a near impossible task Ala-ud-Din came
up with a devious plan. He sent an emissary to Ratan Singh that he
would return to Delhi with his army if allowed a glimpse of the famous
beauty of Rani Padmavati. Trying to avoid a war, Ratan Singh agreed,
however consented only to allow Ala-ud-Din to look at Padmavatis
reflection in a mirror.

The sultan came with his most trusted and experienced generals who,
while they waited keenly examined the forts defenses in order to
prepare for their attack on Chittor. Meanwhile on seeing Rani
Padmavatis reflection Ala-ud-Din was awed by her beauty and his
desire for her increased. On the way back to his camp, he was escorted
by Ratan Singh to the gate of the fort. There, Ala-ud-Dins soldiers
ambushed and captured the king. He was taken as a prisoner to the
sultans camp. The sultan then sent message to Rani Padmavati and the
nobles of Mewar demanding Padmavati in exchange of Ratan Singh.

Rani Padmavati discussed the proposal with her uncle and his son, Gora
and Badal, who were also the leading generals in Ratan Singhs army.
Together they came up with an ingenious plan. A message was sent to
Ala-ud-Din that Padmavati, along with her serving maids and her retinue
would come to his camp in the morning. When dawn arrived, 200
palanquins left the gates of Chittor. Each palanquin was carried by four
men from the Rajput army disguised as palanquin bearers. Inside each
palanquin sat four more men carrying swords and other weapons for
themselves and their disguised friends. Gora and Badal had handpicked
the fiercest warriors and were leading the assault themselves. When the
procession reached Ala-ud-Dins camp the Rajputs jumped out from the
palanquins and attacked the sultans unsuspecting soldiers. Though the
Rajputs suffered heavy losses and both Gora and Badal perished, Rana
Ratan Singh was rescued and
returned safely to the fort. Ala-ud-Din then lay seize to the fort.
 24

By August, after a long drawn seize, the resources within the fort
decreased and Ratan Singh planned an all out suicide attack on the
would-be invaders as they could hold out no longer. The womenfolk
then resident within that fort decided to collectively committed suicide
rather than risk personal dishonor at the hands of the victorious invading
army. On 26th August, 1303, a huge pier was lit within the fort and Rani
Padmavati, along with other noblewomen belonging to the court
committed Jauhar. The Rajput men then wore saffron turbans as a mark
of performing saka, rode out to meet Ala-ud-Dins army in battle and
perished to the last man.
The first written version of the legend appeared nearly 250 years after
the event in a long narrative poem written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi.
The epic poem was written in Awadhi around 1540 AD during the rule
of Sher Shah Suri.

The Fascinating Legend Of Alauddin Khilji & His Obsession

With Rani Padmavati
by Shabdita Pareek
Indian history abounds with captivating tales that introduce us to our
rich and glorious past. Our past is so fascinating that the more we learn
about it, the more intrigued we become. This is perhaps why Sanjay
Leela Bhansali keeps making history-dramas. His upcoming film
Padmavati is yet another such drama, based on the life of Rajput Queen
Padmavati also known as Padmini, and it promises to bring one more
interesting story from the annals of history.
The legend of Queen Padmavati is a tale of lust and war, which
unfortunately ended in tragedy.

Source: achhiduniya.com
The story of Rani Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji is mentioned in
Padmavat, an epic poem written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi. A long
time ago, in the early 14th century, Chittorgarh was ruled by Rawal
 25

Ratan Singh of the Sisodiya Clan. Padmavati was his second queen,
whom he had married after winning the swayamvara.
Among the king's many subjects was Raghav Chetan, a musician in his
court. What nobody knew however was that Raghav was also a sorcerer.
One day, while he was performing sorcery which was considered illegal,
he was caught and banished by the king.
Enraged at the humiliation, Raghav Chetan started plotting revenge. He
went to Delhi and took refuge in the court of Alauddin Khilji, the Sultan
of Delhi. As he gained the Sultan's trust, he began singing praise of
Queen Padmavati's beauty, thus invoking the Sultan's curiosity.

Source: wikipedia.org
Intrigued by the description of Padmavati's enticing beauty, Alauddin
marched to Chittorgarh with his soldiers and set up camp outside the
fort. Word was sent to Rawal Ratan Singh that the Sultan of Delhi had
come to catch a glimpse of his queen after which he would leave. The
request made the King uncomfortable as Rajput custom didn't allow
women to meet strangers. But Rawal Ratan Singh knew that upsetting
the Sultan would result in an attack. So, to save his kingdom and his
people, he agreed that the Sultan could see his queen.
Padmavati didn't want to have a face-to-face meeting with the Sultan. So
mirrors were arranged in the palace in such a way that the Sultan could
see the queen's reflection, without the queen having to meet him in
person.

But with just one look at Padmavati's reflection, the Sultan was smitten
by her beauty. He was so captivated that he changed his mind and
decided that he would not leave without the queen. On his way back to
the camp, the Sultan was accompanied by Rawal Ratan Singh.
As they reached the end gate of the palace, Khilji sensed an opportunity
and captured Rawal Ratan Singh. He then sent a message to the palace
that if they wanted to see their king alive, Padmavati should accompany
him to Delhi. That was when, two loyal generals of the king - Gora and
Badal - devised a plan and sent a message to the Sultan that the queen
had agreed to go with him.
 26

The next day, over one hundred palanquins made their way to the
Sultan's camp and he was told that the queen was coming with her
maids. Only she wasn't. The palanquins had soldiers hidden inside, who
fought fiercely and freed their king.
Alauddin Khilji was enraged when he realised that he had been tricked.
This sent him into such a fury that he ordered his army to break into the
fort. But the mighty Chittorgarh Fort was impregnable. So, the Sultan's
army laid siege to the fort, cutting off all the supplies. Days went by but
the Sultan and his army didn't budge. Inside the palace, the food, water
and other supplies began to run out. Finally, Rawal Ratan Singh decided
that the warriors would face the huge army outside. The valiant Rajput
soldiers vowed to sacrifice their lives for their pride and their king. But
the small army stood no chance against the well-equipped soldiers
outside who were massive in number.
War ensued and Chittorgarh fell. It soon became clear that the Sultan's
victory was inevitable. With their men fighting the enemy, the women of
the palace chose to sacrifice their lives over a life of humiliation and ill-
treatment at the hands of the Sultan. A huge pyre was lit and the queen
and other ladies dressed up in their best clothes. They sang religious
songs and prepared themselves to endure the pain as the flames engulfed
their bodies. Rani Padmavati jumped first and the rest of the women
followed.

When the war ended, the remains of the bodies and the ashes were all
that was left. Despite winning the war, Sultan Alauddin Khilji did not
succeed in getting what he had fought for.
The legend is disputed and many scholars claim that it's just an epic to
glorify Rajput history but nonetheless, it makes for an interesting story!

Rani Padmini and four other Hindutva history myths

exploded
 27

As it turns out, some commonly held stories about our 5,000-year-old

past simply aren't true.

Rani Padmini and four other Hindutva history myths exploded

The biggest news story coming out of India in 2014 was the triumph at
the polls of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Led by the charismatic Narendra
Modi, the BJP achieved what many considered impossible: an absolute
majority in the Lok Sabha. Modi and a number of his colleagues
subscribe to ideas I have described in a previous column as Raving
Loony Hindutva History. The BJPs misreading of history, however, is
also underpinned by versions of history that circulate as truth within the
mainstream. Here, in reverse chronological order, I list five major myths
that have gained mainstream acceptance in India.

1. The Myth of Rani Padmini

In 1303 AD, Alauddin Khilji, the Turkic Sultan of Delhi, captured
Chittorgarh after a long siege. Two hundred and thirty-seven years later,
an Awadhi poet named Malik Muhammad Jayasi composed a poem
titled Padmavat about the fall of Chittor. The tale was picked up in
succeeding eras by historians such as the chronicler of Akbars reign
Abul Fazl.

The story of Padmini varies from one writer to another but the basic
contours are similar. A sorcerer banished by the king of Mewar Ratan
Singh finds refuge in the Khilji court, where he fills the Sultans ears
with tales of the beauty of Ratan Singhs wife, Padmini. Alauddin
manages to get a glimpse of her, and is enraptured. He captures Ratan
Singh by deceit, and offers to release him in exchange for Padmini. The
Rajputs hatch a cunning stratagem to free their king, but lose several
warriors in the process. Alauddin defeats the weakened Rajput army,
only to discover that Padmini and all other women in Chittor fort have
committed jauhar.

Rani Padmini is not mentioned in any Rajput or Sultanate annals, and

theres absolutely no historical evidence she existed. Alauddin Khilji,
 28

one of the finest generals in Indias military history, certainly required

no treachery to subdue Chittor. He repelled successive Mongol invasions
while conquering much of Rajasthan and Gujarat. But what has survived
of him is the image of a lustful, deceitful, tyrant pitted against chivalrous
Rajputs.

2. The Myth of Prithviraj Chauhan

History, they say, is written by the winners. The best poetry, though, is
often composed by the losers and, in India at least, outweighs historical
accounts. Prithviraj Chauhan ruled Delhi in the late 12th century AD. In
1191, the Afghan ruler Muhammad Ghuri took the fortress of Bhatinda
on the border of Prithvirajs kingdom. Prithviraj advanced towards the
frontier, and met and defeated Ghuris army at Tarain. The next year,
Ghuri returned with a stronger force, defeated Prithviraj, and had him
executed.

Pretty standard give-and-take for that age. In the hands of Prithvirajs

court poet Chand Bardai, and several later writers who embellished the
narrative, the chivalrous Prithviraj defeated and imprisoned Ghuri, but
generously set him free. The foe returned, attacked unfairly at night,
captured and blinded the Rajput king, and took him back to his capital.
Prithvirajs companion convinced Ghuri to let the blind king
demonstrate his skill as an archer. Instructed by the companion,
Prithviraj killed Muhammad Ghuri before ending his own life in a
suicide pact.

I grew up believing this to be historical truth, thanks to the volume of

Amar Chitra Katha about Prithvirajs life. I suppose children today
watching television serials about Prithviraj and Padmini swallow the
same fictions. It is noteworthy that no cases have been filed in any
Indian court against these erroneous retellings of Indian history.

3. The Myth of a Non-Violent India

 29

our religion is truer than any other religion, because it never

conquered, because it never shed blood. Swami Vivekananda, who
assiduously propagated the myth of peaceful India, often used
religion, nation and race interchangeably. In Colombo in 1897, he
said, India has for thousands of years peacefully existed We, of all
nations of the world, have never been a conquering race, and that
blessing is on our head. Ironically, Sri Lanka is one of the countries that
Indian kings (Hindu ones at that, for in such a reckoning only Hindu
kings count) have repeatedly invaded. The Cholas also launched naval
expeditions against towns and regions across South-East Asia in the 11th
century AD.

Hindu rulers rarely hesitated to invade neighbouring domains, with all

the killing and plunder associated with the business. If they rarely
ventured outside the subcontinent, it had less to do with a reluctance to
shed blood or invade foreign lands than with the juicier targets close to
home. A simple cost-benefit analysis explains why it made sense for
Afghan and Turkic cavalry to raid the fertile Indian plains, and no sense
for Indian kings to transport their elephants, thousands of foot-soldiers,
and complicated supply lines into the mountains to conquer a land of
sheep herders. Shah Jahan tried invading Samarkand, out of a sense of
duty to his forebears, and his army paid a terrible price.

4. The Myth of Sanskrit

Sanskrit has produced a marvellous quantity of hymns, philosophical

meditations, poems, epics, plays, and treatises. It is without a shadow of
a doubt one of the most culturally significant languages in the world.
What it is not is the mother of all languages, or even the foundational
tongue of the branch to which is belongs, known as the Indo-European
family of languages.

The first person to discover this language family, William Jones,

suggested back in 1786 that Sanskrit, Latin and Greek, have sprung
from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists. He was
 30

exactly right. That source is now called proto-Indo-European, and is

considered to have been spoken in the vicinity of the Black Sea around
5,500 to 6,000 years ago.

In India, though, the idea is anathema that an ancestor of Sanskrit was

spoken by pastoral nomads living in what is modern-day Turkey and
Ukraine. For that would make Sanskrit essentially a language like many
others. Which is what it is.

5. The Myth of a 5,000-year-old civilisation

Our Foreign minister Sushama Swaraj recently attended a function
celebrating the 5151st anniversary of the Bhagavad Gita. That dating
belongs to Raving Loony Hindutva History, but the 5,000 year mark is
commonly used to describe everything connected with Hindu culture.
The Vedas? At least 5,000 years old. Ayurveda? 5,000 years old. Yoga,
5,000 years old, or a little more. Indian art? 5,000 years old.
Mathematics, astronomy, grammar, you name it, it is all 5,000 years old.
In truth, almost nothing in India is 5,000 years old. The ruins of the
Harappan civilisation come closest, but the artefacts that have survived,
aside from a few pot shards, dont date earlier than 2500 BC. The
earliest literature we have was composed about 3,500 years ago, and
theres precious little art thats datable to a period before 500 BC. Indias
major mathematical achievements originated almost exclusively in the
medieval era, while the asanas used in contemporary yoga have, in a
majority of cases, an illustrated or descriptive history going back little
over a century.
The fake 5,000-year figure plays into the hands of those who believe
India once enjoyed a golden age before it was corrupted by, take your
pick, the Kalyug, Muslim invaders, British imperialists, all of the above.

The Legend of Rani Padmini, Queen of Chittor

By Anjana Narayanan On June 12, 2015 In Delhi Sultanate , Rajputs
 31

You all must have heard of Rani Padmini, the (mystery) queen of
Chittor. Following is the popular legend of Rani Padmini:The Delhi
Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji (1296-1316) decided to conquer Chittor (the
capital of Mewar) having heard of the beauty of its queen Rani Padmini.
She was the wife of Rawal Ratan Singh, the Rana of Chittor (1303). Ala-
ud-din marched his army to Chittor and laid siege to that place. He then
sent a message to the Rana promising to raise the siege if he would let
him meet the famous queen. When the Rajputs turned down this
proposal, Ala-ud-din acceded to the proposal of seeing her through a
mirror. His request was finally granted. The Sultan entered the fort
slightly guarded and having gratified his wish, returned. The Rana
accompanied him to the outer gate as their custom. At this time, Ala-ud-
din treacherously made the Rana a prisoner and demanded the surrender
of Padmini for his liberty. The Rani accepted Ala-ud-din's terms and
played a clever trick to release her husband and save her own honour.
She sent word to Ala-ud-din that she will come to his camp on the next
day attended by her handmaidens. Early next morning, a long line of
palanquins entered Ala-ud-din's camp. They were set down within a tent.
Half an hour was granted for the parting meeting between the Rana and
his queen. At this time, an armed band of Rajputs forth sprang from the
palanquins and fell upon Ala-ud-din's army in surprise. After
slaughtering the guards, the Rajputs freed the Rana and took him back to
Chittor. Ala-ud-din pursued him and began a fierce attack on Chittor.
When the fall of Chittor was certain, the Rajput women including their
queen performed Jauhar. The Rajputs died the heroic death and the Rana
died fighting to the end.
James Tod also tell us a similar story but according to him, Padmini was
the wife of Bhim Singh, regent and uncle of Lachhman Singh, the Rana
of Chittor. Anyway, let us go through the original history of Ala-ud-din
Khilji's conquest of Chittor given by the historian Ferishta.
First Sack of Chittorgarh (1303): In 1303, Ala-ud-din marched towards
Chittor with a large army, and after a siege of six months, Chittoor was
reduced. After ordering a massacre of thirty thousand Rajputs, Ala-ud-
din bestowed the government of Chittor on his son Khizr Khan and the
place was renamed as Khizrabad. Rana Ratan Singh was made a
 32

prisoner at the fortress of Delhi. The Rana's family and children

managed to escape and fled to the nearby hills.

Rana Ratan Singh's Escape (1304): Ala-ud-din, on hearing of the beauty

and accomplishments of one of the Rana's daughters (Let's assume that
her name was Padmini), told the Rana, who was then a captive at Delhi,
that if he would deliver her over to him, he should be released. The Rana
was compelled to agree this proposal, however his family, hearing of this
dishonorable proposal, concerted measures for poisoning the Princess.
But Padmini contrived a stratagem by which she could obtain her
father's release and preserve her own honour. She wrote to her father to
let it be known that she was coming with all her attendants, and would
be at Delhi on a certain day. Having selected a number of Rajputs, who
in complete armour concealed themselves in litters, she proceeded with
such a retinue of horse and foot as is customary to guard ladies of rank.
It was night when they arrived at Delhi and by the Sultan's permission,
the litters were allowed to carry into the prison. No sooner were they
within the walls, the armed men leaped out of the litters; put the Sultan's
guards to sword and carried off the Rana to the hills, where his family
were concealed. Thus, by the efforts of his clever daughter, the Rana
effected his escape and continued to ravage Chittor. Ala-ud-din finally
granted the government of Chittor (from Khizr Khan) to the Rana's
nephew. Chittor thus became a tributary of Delhi during the rest of Ala-
ud-din's reign.

Litter: (Paalkhee)palanquin (a vehicle used to transport people; usually

for one passenger, containing a bed or couch often covered by curtains
and carried on men's shoulders)

Jauhar: is the Self Immolation done by Royal Rajput ladies when the
battle is about to lose, rather than surrender and fall to harem of enemies.

The heart touching story of Rani Padmini-"The Queen of

Chittor"
Name: Rani Padmini
In 12th and 13th centuries, Rawal Ratan Singh was the King of Chittor.
Rani Padmini, the wife of King Rawal Ratan Singh and Queen of Chittor
and often a mythological figure for her womanhood and sacrifice.
During those days, the Sultanate of Delhi- the kingdom set up by the
invaders was nevertheless growing in power. That time Allah-ud-din
Khilji was the Sultan and who made repeated attack on Mewar on one
reason and the other.

At the same time Chittor was under the Rule of Rawal Ratan Singh, a
brave and noble warrior King. As well a patron of the arts. In his court
were many talented people one of whom was a musician named Raghav
Chetan. But unknown to everyone, he was also a sorcerer. He used his
evil talent to run down his competitor but unluckily was caught red-
handed. On hearing this King was angry and he punished Raghav
Chetan to send away from his kingdom after blackening his face and
making him ride on donkey.

Due to this, Raghav Chetan became an uncompromising enemy of the

King. Raghav Chetan made his way towards Delhi with the aim of trying
to incite the Sultan of Delhi Allah-ud-din Khilji to attack chittor.

When Raghav Chetan come near to Delhi, was settled down in one of
the forests nearby Delhi which the Sultan used frequently for hunting
deers. One day he saw the hunt party entering the forest, he started
playing a melodious tone on his flute. Hunt party get surprised, and they
found Raghav Chetan was playing a flute . Raghav Chetan was then
brought before sultan, and the Sultan asked him to come to his court at
Delhi.The cunning Raghav-Chetan asked the king as to why he wants to
have a ordinary musician like himself when there were many other
beautiful objects to be had. The Sultan wondering what Raghav Chetan
meant, Sultan asked him to clarify. Then he told about Rani Padmini's
 34

beauty, Allah-ud-din's lust was aroused and immediately on returning to

his capital he gave orders to his army to march on Chittor.

But he get disappointed, due to the fort to be heavily defended. Hopefull

to have a look at the legendary beauty of Padimini, he send word to King
Ratan Singh that he looked upon padmini as his sister and wanted to
meet her. On hearing this, the unsuspecting Ratansen asked Padmini to
see the 'brother'. But Padmini was more wordly-wise and she refused to
meet the lustful Sultan personally.

Rani Padmini then convinced by her husband, She agreed to allow

Allah-ud -din to see her only in a mirror.On the word being sent to
Allah-ud-din that Padmini would see him, he came to the fort with his
selected and best warriors who secretly made a careful examination of
the fort's defences on their way to the Palace. On seeing Padmini, in a
mirror, the lustful Sultan decided that he should secure Padmini for
himself. While returing to his camp, Sultan was accompanied for some
way by King Ratan Singh. Taking this opportunity, Sultan skillfully
kidnapped Ratan Singh and took him as a prisoner into his camp and
demanded that Padmini come and surrender herself before Sultan, if she
wanted her husband king Ratan Singh alive again.

The Rajput generals decided to beat the Sultan at his own game and sent
back a word that Padmini would be given to Sultan the next morning.
On the following day at the crack of dawn, one hundred and fifity
palaquins (covered cases in which royal ladies were carried in medieveal
times) left the fort and made their way towards Sultan's camps. The
palanquins stopped before the tent where king Ratan singh was being
held prisoner. Seeing that the palanquins had come from Chittor, and
thinking that they had brought along with them his queen, king Ratan
Singh was mortified. But get surprised, because his queen is not there in
the palanquins but her women servant and fully armed soldiers, who
quickly freed Ratan Singh and galloped away towards Chittor on horses
grabbed from Sultan's stables.

On hearing that, the lustful Sultan was furious and ordered his army to
attack on Chittor. But hard as they tried the Sultans army could not break
into the fort. Sultan decided to lay seige to the fort. The seige was the
prolonged effort to gain the fort. Finally King Ratnasingh gave orders
that the Rajputs would open the gates and fight to finish with the
besieging troops. On hearing of this decision, Padmini decided that with
their men-folk going into the unequal struggle with the Sultan's army in
which they were sure to perish, the women of Chittor had either to
commit suicides or face dishonour at the hands of the victorious enemy.

The choice was in favour of suicide through Jauhar. A huge pyre was lit
and followed by their queen, all the women of Chittor jumped into the
flames and deceived the lustful enemy waiting outside. With their
womenfolk dead, the men of Chittor had nothing to live for. Their
charged out of the fort and fought on furiously with the vastly Powerful
array of the Sultan, till all of them perished. After this phyrrhic victory
the Sultan's troops entered the fort only to be confronted with ashes and
burnt bones of the women whose honour they were going to violate to
satisfy their lust.

These women who committed Jauhar had to perish but their memory has
been kept alive till today by bards and songs which glorify their act
which was right in those days and circumstances. Thus a halo of honour
is given to their supreme sacrifice.

Virtuous queen and the Sultan - Rani Padmini of

Chittor - her poignant story
Rani Padmini of Chittor, Rajputana paintings.rajputanas.com
Through out ages, Indian women's commitments to family are
enormous as she is the main pivot in a closely-knit family system.
Besides raising her children, taking care of the elders - mainly in-laws,
cooking and other chores, she is expected to share a big chunk of
 36

responsibility in the family. The fascinating aspect about a Hindu wife

is, she is always loyal to her husband at any cost and safeguard the
family's name and dignity by strictly following certain norms imposed
by the society. That was the way she had been brought up in the bygone
era by the family as the society was very much conservative. To be
frank, this may not be true of men folks if they had a liaison with other
women at his will and pleasure, society being male chauvinistic, his
mistakes committed in moments of aberrations would be
magnanimously and
gladly excused or ignored by the elders. However, a greater
preponderance of males were as much loyal to their wives as they were
to them.
In ancient texts there are innumerable stories, poems and even dramas,
extolling the virtuous women and looking upon them as guardians of
chastity or virtue. In some places, people compare such women with
goddess and build temples of Chasity. Some of them may be biased and
replenished to suit the male dominated society, purposely ignoring their
glaring frailty. The Indian society gives much emphasis on women's
modesty and chastity for some reasons so that the hereditary line will
go undisturbed right on the track, thus retaining the family's ethos and
not affecting the children's education and future, etc

Before the advent of the British company in India in the1600s and the
British rule under the crown later, a bizarre and biased custom had been
in practise for centuries called ''Sati.'' It means a widowed woman,
irrespective of her age, is expected to get into her husband's funeral pyre
- a sort of self-inflicting suicide over the unexpected loss of her husband.
Some times force will be used by her kith and kin to push the
unfortunate, bereaved woman into the funeral pyre if she is reluctant.
The basic assumption is after her husband's death the woman, if young,
may go astray and spoil family's name.

Though there was room for remarriage in the case of young Hindu
widow in ancient India, remarriage of women was not considered an
ideal choice. Either she had to undergo the ordeal of remaining a
 37

widow without active participation in family functions till her death or

commit sati. It was her choice to choose either of the two. On the other
hand if a man loses his young wife and becomes a widower, he can
remarry one or more times.What a paradox!!

Anyway, this custom was done away with when numerous Indian
reformers took the cudgels against this painful ritual under the British
who gave them full support.

In the case of Hindu royal families, women's responsibility is more as

she has to uphold the trust and good name of the king and his dynasty. In
the event of defeat of a king in the war by Muslim rulers, these royal
pious women and her dedicated servants will plunge into the towering
inferno specially prepared for them. They will rather brook this kind of
death than facing the excruciating pain of falling into enemy's hands
who will be ready to devour them or push them into a harem and treat
them as yet another rags of flesh and blood, a target of their pleasure.
Such a bad situation gradually opened up for an unfortunate, royal
Hindu Rajput queen of wisdom and unparalleled beauty that caught her
unawares .....

Among the kingdoms of northwest India, Mewar was the most powerful
one ruled by Rajput clan. The Rajputs were known not only for their
wisdom, and patriotic zeal but also for their valor and bravery. They
never failed to follow the norms of war and would fight their enemies
face to face, There was no back-stabbing that was common among the
NW intruders and others. They were religious and devout Hindus.

As for the Muslim invaders from the NW, it was a difficult task for them
to break the Rajput clan's hold on their kingdom and the people. The
slave dynasty which had been ruling from Delhi wanted to capture the
Rajput kingdom. On 28 January, 1303 Alauddin Khilji, the Delhi Sultan
started for Mewar to declare war on the ruler. According to legend, the
 38

more Alauddin heard stories about the mystifying beauty of Rani

Padmini, wife of Ratan Singh, the more he became anxious to get her as
his consort.

Rani Padmini (Padmavati; died 1303 CE), was the queen of Chittor,
Mewar, Rajasthan, India the wife of King Rawal Ratan Singh and the
daughter of the contemporary Sinhala king. She was the personification
of beauty, ideal Indian womanhood and sacrifice. Her great story of
beauty and tragedy is commemorated in ''Padmavat,'' an epic poem
written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in Awadhi language in1540 CE.

Because of some family feud in the royal Rajput clan, it is believed, that
the Sultan developed keen interest in Rani Padmini at the instigation of
King Ratan Singh's jealous brothers.

Upon his arrival at Chittor, Khilji sent a message to the ruler expressing
his wish to see the Rani. This was an act of shame and insult to an
equally competent ruler and the Sultan's arrogance was quiet evident.
Smart as he was, Ratan Singh gave in and convinced the queen to see
Alauddin. However, she allowed the Sultan to see her on one condition
that he could see only her reflection on a mirror to which the Sultan
agreed. On seeing the Rani's mirror image, his infatuation grew stronger
and Alauddin was determined to get her for his harem at any cost.
On his return to Delhi, the Sultam had Ratan Singh accompany him,
using this opportunity he kidnapped Ratan Singh. The Songara Chauhan
generals Gora & Badal decided to hoodwink the Sultan at his own game
and sent back a word that Padmini would be handed over to Ala-ud-din
following morning. Next day at the crack of dawn, one hundred and fifty
covered palanquins (meant for royal ladies for travel in medieval times)
left the fort and made their way towards Ala-ud-din's camps The
palanquins stopped before the tent where king Ratan Singh was being
held prisoner. On seeing the arrival of covered palanquins purportedly
carrying his queen from Chittor, King Ratan Singh was quite perturbed.
But to his surprise, stepped out from the palanquins, are not his consort
 39

and her women servants, but his own fully armed soldiers, who quickly
freed Ratan Singh and galloped away towards Chittor on horses stolen
from Ala-ud-din's stables. This getaway happened in a jiff. King's
military commander Gora fought bravely against Sultan's soldiers to
ease king's safe escape with another leader Badal and during the
skirmishes he laid down his life, thus proving his loyalty to his King and
his Rajput valor.

After he was outwitted by Rajput warriors and his plan to get the queen
went haywire, the Sultan's anger and disappointment knew no bounds.
Now he again attracted the king's fort at Chittor with better army. As he
was unable to penetrate the huge fort, Ala-ud-din decided to lay siege to
the fort. The siege being a long drawn one, supplies within the fort
gradually became depleted. As a last resort, King Ratan Singh and his
men fought to finish with the besieging troops.

Meanwhile Queen Padmini was worried about the impending danger and
safety of her husband and the kingdom because Sultan's army was huge
and treacherous. Further, they would not follow the norms of 'just war.'
With no other options available to avoid the disgraceful act of falling
into enemy's hands and be torn to pieces, virtuous women of Chittor
took the extreme step - divine ''Jauhar''(suicide).
The choice was in favor of suicide through Jauhar/ sati practiced by the
royal female members of Rajput in case the ruler loses the battle); they
would rather face honorable death than be a slave and show girl in

women jumped into the flames and committed suicide en masse, thus

devour them.

of dead soldiers, wounded men, wailing and weeping.cThe sultan's big
empire was built on the alter of cross bones and corpses of virtuous
Rajput women and brave Rajput men to whom ''a honorable life is worth

Alauddin Khilji and Padmavati: just who is afraid of

History?
Will the Indian censors, the courts, the government permit the screening
of a film which depicts Alauddin or Aurangzebs brutality as recorded in
history for defending the freedom of expression?
Several liberal columnists have expressed anguish at the recent
protests against the director of the upcoming controversial film
Padmavati, which is based on the historical saga involving the
characters of Alauddin Khilji, the 13th century ruler of the Delhi
Sultanate and the contemporary Rajput princess, Padmini. Their defense
of the film-maker and demonization of the protestors involves the
following liberal arguments:

(1) Rani Padmini was not a real historical figure and so there is no
historical distortion, just re-imagination of an old legend.

(2) Cinema is a form of creative expression and artistic license permits

historical reinterpretation, even if devoid of historical merit.

(3) What about freedom of expression? If you dont like the movie, do
not watch it, or just make your own movie on the subject.
 41

The analysis of each of these positions reveals the problematic nature of

contemporary Indian secular-liberal discourse, its bias, duplicity,
mendacity and lack of sensitivity, while exploring Hindu culture, history
and traditions.

First, the historicity of Padmini is far more complex than the rude and
vulgar secular fictionalization of a legendary figure whose sacred
memory is alive in the hearts and minds of millions of Hindus. In the
land of Chittor, century old temples and shrines dedicated to the memory
of the legendary princess continue to be active sites of devotion.
Therefore, there is clearly an element of traditional religiosity in the
Padmavati saga, which has over time acquired a graceful sanctity. Any
attempt, to apparently violate the sacred memory of Padmavati built
through centuries of cultural memory and oral tradition through a
reckless act of commercial Bollywood cinema could be interpreted as an
act of perversion, at least by those who believe and identify with her.

Moreover, the insistence on Padmavatis historicity as some essential

prerequisite for upholding the moral validity of protest is also suggestive
of a deeply semitic rather than Indic way of thinking where indigenous
figures on the margins of history like Bhishma, Draupadi, Vikramaditya
or Raja Bhoja have animated popular culture and thought for
generations. The same secularists who demand historical evidence
enthusiastically while considering respect for tradition fulminate against
the idea of historical evidence documenting large scale pogroms,
genocides, forced conversions and temple destructions during the
medieval age by Islamist invaders.

Nevertheless, purely from a historical perspective, it is true that there is

no contemporary account, which corroborates the legend of Padmini, the
beautiful Rajput princess who along with thousands of other women
defied the will of the Muslim ruler, Alauddin Khilji through the act of
Jauhar (mass immolation) and frustrated his designs of possessing her.
This significant omission was observed by the preeminent historian of
medieval India, Prof. K S Lal in his monumental book History of the
 42

Khiljis. Unfortunately, Lal in his later years experienced a disgraceful

academic apartheid from leftist dominated academia since he had the
audacity to produce brilliantly researched texts on medieval India like
The Legacy of Muslim Rule in India and Muslim slave system in
Medieval India, which did not shy from documenting religious excesses
and violence.

But returning to Padmini, such an absence of evidence is not evidence of

absence. For instance, there is no reliable contemporary Greek record to
affirm the existence of the Chandragupta of Mauryan antiquity. There is
no contemporary Hindu source, which documents the invasions of
Mahmud of Ghazni at Somnath. Probably, the availability of a powerful
concept of cyclical time permitted Hindus to cast away unrecorded, at
least in writing most painful historical events even as they persisted in
popular memory and acquired embellishments through the vicissitudes
of time. In his well-researched, but unfortunately poorly documented
work Rani Padmini: the heroine of Chittor, B K Karkra makes the
assertion that references to Padmini in Malik Mohammed Jayasis
Padmavat was predated by her mention in Chhitai Charita authored by
Narain Das of Sarangpur in 1526. Karkra makes the compelling
argument that since the work mentions her alongside incontrovertible
historical figures like Deval Rani (a Gujarati princess who was abducted
and forcibly married to the Sultans son), it is possible that Padminis
legend had become well entrenched in the popular consciousness during
Das and Jayasis age. Furthermore, the cryptic suggestion by Amir
Khusrau, the famed poet in Khiljis court, through a reference to the
Biblical story of Solomon and queen of Sheba during Khiljis march to
Chittor in 1303 should not be overlooked. Other instances of jauhar have
been correlated with Khiljis military expeditions like the one performed
by the queen Ranga Devi of Ranthambore. While these indirect
evidences lend credence to the idea of Padmini as a real historical figure,
Karkra ultimately suggests that Padminis memory was deliberately
erased from the official Rajput literary tradition in order to promote a
patriarchal counter narrative eulogizing her husband Ratan Singh whose
estimation of valour in popular consciousness had plummeted in
 43

permitting the Sultan, Khilji, a glimpse of the royal queen. Similarly,

contemporary Muslim chronicles were silent on the episode since the act
of Jauhar and Padminis unearthly defiance resulted in Alauddins
ambitions to be reduced to a spectacular failure.

The demand for historical authenticity should also necessarily imply that
the character of Alauddin Khilji be subject to an accurate historical
estimation. The Sultan ascended the throne by murdering the emperor
Jalauddin Khilji. His expeditions against Hindu kingdoms resulted in at
least three instances of Jauhar or mass immolation by thousands of
Hindu women in order to protect their honour both in life and death. At
Chittor, Amir Khusrau found the emperor to have cut the Hindus like
dry grass by ordering a general massacre of the population, a feat,
which was replicated by the great Mughal emperor Akbar almost two
centuries later. During his tyrannical rule, the historian R C Majumdar
observed that Khiljis ruinous economic policies caused the country at
large to be bled. According to the contemporary Muslim chronicles, the
Sultan Alauddin demanded from his ulema, rules and regulations, so
that the Hindu should be ground down, and property and possessions,
which are the cause of disaffection and rebellion should not remain in
the house. His actions successfully grinded the Hindus depriving them
of their wealth so that they could never think of revoltThere was no
sign of any gold in the Hindu households Such means of systematic
discrimination were canalized through unjust taxation like jizya and high
revenue burden upon Hindus. It is difficult to discover any redeeming
feature of Alauddins reign, including his much-vaunted defense of his
kingdom against the Mongols, since there is no reason to assume that the
latter would have been more barbaric or less accommodating to Hindu
beliefs and practices.

Left Liberal columnists can mock the Hindu right in their inability to use
cinema as a vehicle for advancing ideology, unlike them. The asymmetry
in resources apart, they are well aware that in contemporary India, no
potential Indian films critical of Islamic or Christian (historical)
personalities, culture and religion can see the light of the day due to the
 44

institutionalized sense of exceptionalism accorded to minority

sensibilities. When even a film critical of Naxal ideology like Buddha
in the traffic jam met with such collective hostility and total opposition
by mainstream leftist film reviewers, it leaves little scope for tolerant
reception of actual Hindutva genres! Will the Indian censors, the
courts, the government permit the screening of a film which depicts
Alauddin or Aurangzebs brutality as recorded in history for defending
the freedom of expression? Will the liberal intellectuals support the
creation of such cinematic genres? Will the consortium of cinema hall
owners promote and screen such cinema, if public demand and profits
are assured? Will such films be insulated against draconian sections 295-
C and 153-A of the IPC in the face of potential protest and disruption of
law and order by communal organizations? A long deafening silence
might await us.

The Epic Love Story Of Prithviraj Chauhan & Sanyogita

That Proves All Is Fair In Love & War
by Shabdita Pareek
Our history abounds with legends and folktales. Of kings and queens
and their valiant deeds and romantic love stories. One such story -
mentioned in Prithviraj Raso - is an epic on the life of the 12th century
king, Prithviraj Chauhan. It was penned by his court poet, Chand Bardai.
The legend of Prithviraj Chauhan and Kannauj princess Sanyogita's love
is a fascinating saga of romance, war and courage.

Source: amazon.in
Prithviraj Chauhan was the king of the Chauhan dynasty whose rule
extended to parts of present day Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi and some
parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. He is also hailed as the last
 45

Rajput king to rule Delhi before the Muslim conquest of the Indian
subcontinent.
Prithviraj was a valiant king and his glory surged to new heights after he
defeated Muhammad Ghori, the Sultan of Ghurid Empire (present day
Afghanistan) in the first battle of Tarain.
Legend has it that Ghori attacked Delhi 17 times, and was defeated 16
times at the hands of Prithviraj Chauhan and his army.

Source: mapsofindia
Soon enough, the heroic tales of Prithviraj's valour reached the ears of
Sanyogita, the daughter of Kannauj king, Jayachand. But before love
could flourish between the two, the relationship between Jayachand and
Prithviraj Chauhan was strained.
Jayachand wanted to assert his supremacy over the other Rajput kings
and hence decided to do a Rajsuya Yagya. Prithviraj, however, refused to
accept Jayachand's supremacy and this marked the beginning of their
enmity.

Source: 24indianews.com
But while Jayachand was enraged by Prithiviraj's refusal to accept him
as the supreme king, his daughter Sanyogita was smitten. She had heard
about Chauhan's heroic expeditions and was absolutely in love with him.
According to legend, they fell in love when a painter from Prithviraj's
court, Panna Ray, visited Kannauj and showed his painting of the king to
the princess. The same painter, upon returning, painted Sanyogita's
portrait and showed it to Prithviraj.
Needless to say, he too was smitten by her beauty.

Source: burabhala.wordpress
At this time, Jayachand decided to arrange a swayamvara for his
daughter. He sent an invite to all the kings except Prithiviraj. To add to
the insult, he got a statue of Prithviraj made and installed it as a
doorman. But Sanyogita had already given her heart to him.
When she came to know that he wasn't even invited to the swayamvara,
she was devastated and wrote him a letter expressing her desire to marry
 46

him. To this, Prithviraj promised her that he would come to the

swayamvara.

Source: amazon.in
On the day of the swayamvara, Sanyogita walked past all the kings and
princes, rejecting each one of them, and finally reaching the statue. At
that moment, Chauhan, who was hiding until then, came out and
Sanyogita put the garland around his neck.
Prithviraj Chauhan then openly challenged Jayachand to stop him from
taking his wife. This made Jayachand shake with rage at the insult in
front of a huge gathering of kings and princes.
That day, thousands of soldiers laid their lives to make sure that
Prithviraj Chauhan escaped safely from Kannauj, with his newly-
wedded wife Sanyogita.

Source: s221.photobucket.com
Jayachand was raging with anger and he wanted to take revenge. So, he
formed an alliance with Muhammad Ghori, whom Prithviraj had
previously defeated 16 times, and extended his support to Ghori's army
to attack Delhi.
When Ghori's army attacked this time, Prithiviraj lost the war and Ghori
captured him. Legend has it that Chauhan had begun to ignore state
affairs after his marriage to Sanyogita.
Chauhan was defeated, but he refused to bow his head in front of the
Sultan. So, Ghori's soldiers blinded him, using hot iron rods.
Seeing his king helpless and in pain, Bardai - the court poet - who had
been accompanying Prithviraj in the war, tricked the Sultan into
organising an archery performance by Prithviraj Chauhan. Apparently,
Prithviraj could hit a target with just his sense of sound.

Source: YouTube
An archery competition was held and Bardai subtlety told his blind king
about the exact place where the Sultan was standing. He said:
Char bans, chaubis gaj, angul ashta praman, Ta upar sultan hai, chuke
mat Chauhan.
 47

(Translation: Sultan is sitting four measures ahead of you and twenty

four yards away when measured with eight fingers. Don't miss your
target, Chauhan).

Source: YouTube
When Muhammad Ghori ordered the blind king to shoot, Prithviraj took
aim based on Bardai's hints and shot the arrow at him. He didn't miss his
target and Muhammad Ghori was killed.
The court-poet then stabbed Prithviraj and himself to avoid further
humiliation at the hands of Ghori's soldiers.
It is believed that after Chand Bardai passed away, the end of the epic
was completed by his son, Jalhan, who was also a witness to the war.

Source: YouTube
According to historians, Chand Bardai's Prithviraj Raso has many
discrepancies and factual errors. But true or false, one has to admit that it
is an enchanting tale which shows that everything's fair in love and war.

Prithviraj Chauhancertain hard facts:

History is brazenly hard and dispassionate to the events that occur where
there is no scope of accommodating any prejudices pro or anti and so is
the case while dealing with our most loved hero like Prithviraj Chauhan.
His life alongwith his queen Sanyogita has been most popular a theme
in several dozens of the posts on this blog. The Indian readers never
relish any thing negative in their context but honesty demands, and so
does the history, that they dont close their eyes against various facts and
events. Every view has to be gone through in a dispassionate order. A
friend of mine Prof. Karan Dev, an outstanding research scholar in
history and himself a great fan of Prithviraj Chauhan, is good enough to
keep me apprised of different research themes from time to time. The
themes depended upon are basically based on the following great works:
 48

Prthviraja-vijaya of Jayanka
Prthviraja Raso of Chand Bardai
Hammira Mahakavya of Nayachandra Suri
Prabandha-cintamani of Merutunga
Viruddhavidhi-viddhavamsa of Laksmidhara
Kharataragaccha-pattavali of Jinapala
Tabaqat-i Nasiri by Minhaj-i-Siraj
Tarikh-i-Rashidi by Mirza Haider
Tarikh-i-Firishta by Ferishta
Gulshan-i Ibrahim by Muhammad Qasim

Indians by and large worship Prithviraj Chauhan as a victor defeating

Ghori but this is what is most controversial an issue and if authors like
Prof. Lane Pool are to be relied upon the story is just the opposite. It is
like this in the words of Prof. Lane Pool:

As for the battle of Tarain II, history squarely puts the blame of the
defeat on fatty Prithviraj, the hot-headed, sensuous, amorous and
arrogant commander of Hindu forces at Tarain it was he who
disregarded the advice given by his aged minister, that of keeping the
women, away from the battlefield. the huge Hindu forces on the
battlefield were massively hampered by the need to protect their
beautiful womenfolk from Islamic rapes, and were consequently not able
to fight effectively against the small Muslim army led by ugly Ghori,
resulting in disastrous defeat and death of millions of productive potent
Hindu Soldiers and rapes of millions of fertile young Hindu wives.
Ghori crushed Prithvirajs testes so hardly that it burst out in his own
sac. Ghori raped Sanyogita repeatedly in front of her dying husband
Prithviraj to humiliate him. Then Ghori butchered & killed Prithviraj in
front of his raped wife Sanyogita.

The very theme that war field priorities of Raja Prithviraj Chauhan were
superseded by his lusty attachment to Rani Sanyogita resulting into India
having been dragged to slavery is still a matter of debate and further
research, and nothing would exhilarate Indians more than proving that it
 49

was actually Prithviraj Chauhan who emerged victorious defeating a

dragon named Ghori.
Historians have debated over the cause of the defeat of Hindus at 2nd
battle of tarain with much enthusiasm. Apart from epigraphal analysis,
historians also have at their disposal writings of many foreign travellers
to the kingdom around the time of the war.
It has been suggested that though the Rajput armies had very large
number of cavalry on horseback, they depended on commanders riding
war elephants making them slower on battlefield. But the Muslim armies
had some swift Persian horses used by key sections of the army and
commanders. This gave the them an edge.
It is also well known that all the three main commanders of the Rajput
army including Prithviraj himself were young commanders compared to
the aged commanders of the Muslim armies who were experienced.
Prithviraj was just 24 years of age whereas Ghori was 49 years old.
While the Muslim infantry depended on bows made of bamboo, the
Rajput armies used crossbows made of metal which were much more
effective in accuracy and distance. But, the Rajput armies used 7 feet
(2.1 m) long spears and javelins while the Muslim armies used 15 feet
(4.6 m) long spears while riding horse back. This gave them a clear
advantage.
The Rajput armies were much better protected by armours manned by
Indian blacksmiths and goldsmiths, who were at that time considered the
best at making armours while Muslims depended on Turkestan armours
which were made of poor quality metals. Muslims lacked metal ores and
also their blacksmiths were not as well trained. So most of the Muslims
used animal leather as a protective armour.
There were some initial chaos in the Muslim army due to the betrayal by
two key Muslim commanders, the Shah brothers who had hundreds of
soldiers under their command. These commanders were defectors from
the Ghaznavi kingdom and later employed by Muhammed Ghori. The
Shah brothers were known to had fled the battlefield at a key juncture
after seeing the huge strength of the Hindu army. This has been strongly
supported by the writings of two European travellers, Fredricci and
Anquetil Du Perron who visited Lahore in 1192 C.E.
 50

In spite of all these advantages, historians agree that the biggest reason
for the collapse of the rajput army was sensual pleasure of the rajputs
who were always amorous with their beautiful ladies. Prithviraj was also
the king of these amorous activities as well. He kept on matting with his
young beautiful queen Samyukta inside his tent in the battlefield of
Tarain during this second battle. When the satanic Muslims attacked the
Hindus in early morning hours, every Rajput soldier was matting with
his lady. What was worst is that Prithviraj didnt stopped matting
Samyukta even after the Muslims commenced their lethal attack. He
came hours after the attack after matting Samyukta atleast some twenty
times. But still the rajputs gained considerable success initially merely
due to their huge numbers. But soon the Muslims started raping rajput
women who were like musk deer. The Hindus got distracted and they
now concentrated in protecting their wives from being raped by
Muslims. Ghori captured beautiful queen Samyukta and started raping
that heavenly Venus. Prithviraj distracted by this move ran away from
his bodyguards towards his beautiful wife to protect her from being
raped by Ghori. Now Having Prithviraj in his trap, Ghori butchered
Prithviraj in head to head combat as fatty Prithviraj was no match for
muscular Ghori. After killing Prithviraj, Ghori cut down his coupling
organ and head, Ghori holded Prithvirajs head at his spear tip and
waved it in front of Hindus. Then Ghori continued to rape beautiful
Samyukta. Seeing their Kings head at the Muslims spear tip and their
holy amorous queen being raped continuously by Ghori, the remaining
rajputs who survived the Islams lethal attack now took to their heels and
ran away from the battlefield leaving their wives as prey to the Muslims.
Thus the Muslims massacred and crushed the Hindus.

PRITHVIRAJ CHAUHAN - part 1

Over indulgence of the royalty in hedonistic pleasures coupled with an
unrealistic assessment of the enemy's designs led to the loss of India's
sovereignty to the Muslim invaders. This is what happened when the
handsome king, Prithviraj Chouhan, the last Hindu ruler of Delhi,
remained besotted with his new bride and beloved Sanyogita, the
 51

princess of Kannauj. Before his marriage, Prithviraj, was able to

defeated the aggressor Sultan Mahmud Ghori and his slave general
Qutub'uddin Aibak. But after getting married to Sanyogita; Prithviraj
lost all propriety of the duties of a ruler and gave all his attention to his
'Queen of Hearts'. While their extended honeymoon was on, the wily
Ghori was planning his invasion of India to avenge his past defeats.
Prithviraj ignored repeated warnings from his courtiers that Ghori's
attack was imminent. When Prithviraj, woke up from his infatuation it
was too late. His very large but ill-prepared army had to face defeat at
the hands of Ghoris small but well-prepared army in the battlefield of
Tarain and he himself was captured and killed by the enemy. And Delhi
came under Muslim rule that was to last the next 700 years. The freedom
of the country was also imperilled after the fall of Prithviraja III at the
hands of Muhammad Ghori after the second battle of Terain (1192 A.D.).
The Pauranika points to the political b****er of the Chahamana ruler
who was succumbed in [Sic] sensuous slumber in the company of his
newly acquired wife Samyogita [or Samyukta]. Prithviraj was enjoying
with the company of his newly acquired wife sanyogita when the enemy
was pounding at the gates of delhi. The history says that while going to
the battlefield, Prithviraj was girdled by his beautiful and charming
empress Sanyukta. Prithviraj was killed by Ghori because he sowed the
seed of chauhan dynasty in sanyukta before proceeding to his last battle.
He had passed the night before the great battle in the amorous company
of his wife sanyukta. Due to this act he could not conquer death. It is
said that, when Prithviraj fell from his zenith, he had split his white
blood before going to the battle. In the evening preceding the battle,
Prithviraj is reported to have allowed himself to be thrown into the well
of carnal pleasure. When he enjoyed the poisonous wine of his ladys
eyes, all his bravery and heroism vanished in no time. These are the evil
consequences of wasting seminal energy.
Prithviraj Chauhan defeated Ghori Muhammed in first battle by the
numerical superiority of his army. But then he eloped with Sanyogita
and married her. This handsome king lost himself in his wife's beauty
and love. When he heard that Ghori again raiding his country and he also
has the motive to secure Prithvi's wife he got alarmed and raised the
 52

strength of his army tremendously. Though the Hindus had great

numerical strength than muslims they were all massacred by Ghori in
second battle. Prithvi was cruelly killed by ghori and Sanyogita killed
herself as she was cruelly raped by Ghori. More than 10,00,000 rajput
soldiers were killed in the second battle. The same thing happened again
for Padmini like that of Samyogita when Alauddin killed her husband
Ratan singh. Muslim Sultans killed handsome Rajput Kings mainly to
secure their beautiful wives. The muslim invaders cruelly killed hindu
rajput men and raped their beautiful wives. The Chauhans were much
larger in number than the gurids. But they were physically weaker than
gurids. They were mostly vegetarians. They were not hard working
people. They lived in wealthy lands. So they were stout and
goodlooking. They liked peace and love. But the gurids were hard
workers and came from dry lands to acquire wealth and women. They
were tall, lean and ugly. They were war- loving people. The moto of
rajputs was to eat, drink, sleep, love and enjoy with their women by
having sex with them. They were soft people. The Chauhan men and
women were always in love and lust with each other because their men
were handsome and their women were most beautiful. The chauhans
were haughty and proud for no reason. The moto of gurids was to kill
rajput men and rape their women. They were rough people. The ghurids
were mostly black coloured people and the Rajputs were golden
coloured people. When the gurids captured the chauhan kingdom they
were amazed by the beauty of golden coloured rajput women. The
chauhan women were so sexy with larger breast and buttocks. The
ghurids had never seen such sexy, beautiful, colourful and lovable
women. They were very much infatuated towards their beauty. So they
killed the rajput men mercilessly and entered into a mass act of rape and
rapine to satisfy their own lust. The rajput women hated the ugly and
cruel ghurids. So when they were raped by gurids, they committed
sucide.

Prithviraj chauhan - part 2

Prithviraj chauhan was the ruler of most of north india during the end of
12th century. At that time north India did not have any connections with
 53

south India and remained as separate region. Prithviraj chauhan was

born on 1168A.D. His fathers name was someshwara chauhan and his
mothers name was karpuravalli. Prithviraj became king after his fathers
death in 1178A.D. at the age of ten. He ruled from 1178-1192A.D. He
hated the muslims. He was very handsome and sexy king. He loved
samyuktha, the princess of kanouj. Samyuktha was his uncles daughter.
Samyuktha was very beautiful and sexy princess. She was born on
1172A.D. She was the one and only daughter of king jayachandra.
Jaichandra was the king of kanouj from 1168A.D. He became the king
of kanouj at the age of 20. Samyuktha also loved prithviraj so much. But
her father Jaichandra hated Prithviraj. Pritiviraj was a romantic and
lovely 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.
Pithoragarh was the name of Prithvirajs capitals. Muhammed Ghori
became the sultan of Ghazni in 1168A.D. at the age of 18 and he was in
charge of his brother. He hated rajputs and the hindus as they were
infidel. When Prithviraj was ruling north India, Muhammed Ghori, the
Muslim sultan from Ghazni, in Afghanistan invaded India in 1191 A.D.
in the month of January. Ghori had cruel face and structure. He was a
terrorist, tyrant and a rapist. Prithviraj with 3,00,000 horses, 3,000
elephants and with 3,00,000 foot warriors went to fight Ghori's army
which was just 1,00,000 in number. There was a bloody battle in the
battlefield of tarain. Muslims killed more than one lakh rajputs but
75,000 muslims were killed by rajputs. Ghori advanced towars prithviraj
to kill him. But he was wounded by prithviraj's vanguards. So the
muslims fled away from the battlefield. Though ghori was wounded by
rajputs he managed to escape from the battlefield. Rajput army chased
them but they could not capture the muslims. Because muslim horses
were lean and fast. But rajput horses were stout and slow when
compared to muslim horses. Thus the rajputs won the first battle only by
sheer number of weight. Though prithviraj was physically soft and much
weaker than ghori, he defeated ghori by the numerical strength in his
army. Haughty Jaichandra got wind of Samyukthas love for prithviraj
and he decided to teach his daughter and her upstart lover a lesson. So he
 54

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). 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.
Soon Prithviraj and Samyuktha reached delhi. Then prithviraj married
samyuktha. During their marriage Prithviraj was at the age of 21 and
samyuktha was at the age of 17. Samyuktha was the one and only wife
of Prithviraj. This incident also took place in January 1191 A.D. within a
week after the first battle. There was great enjoyment in India. Prithviraj
and samyuktha had their first-night on the same day of their marriage. In
their first-night samyuktha was waiting in their harem. The harem was
decorated like heaven. Prithviraj entered the first-night room.
Samyuktha touched his feet as a custom and respect. Prithviraj hold and
raised her up. Prithviraj kissed her lips and they fell in their bed. They
forget everything. Prithviraj removed the jacket and saree of samyuktha.
Samyuktha and Prithviraj fucked each other. They became naked and
enjoyed each oter. Prithviraj inserted his into samyukthas and
released his sperm. Samyuktha and Prithviraj never had such enjoyment
before. Prithviraj released his sperm 100 times on that day into
samyukthas . Samyuktha lost herself in Prithvirajs love.
Samyuktha was conceived by prithviraj in their first-night itself. Such
was the potency of Prithviraj and Samyuktha. In next three months
Prithviraj came to know that Samyuktha was pregnant and he was going
to become father there was great rejoice in India. That night Prithviraj
 55

again had a very long sex with his wife. He poured his sperm into
samyukthas mouth many times. Samyuktha and Prithviraj fucked each
other many times that day. Prithviraj and Samyuktha lost themselves in
their love and lust. They never left their harem. They continued their
honeymoon endlessly. Prithviraj kept his always inserted into
samyukthas . Prithviraj released his sperm as soon as he inserted
his into samyukthas . Such was the love, lust and potency of
Samyuktha and Prithviraj. He often fucked all parts of samyukthas
body. His favourite parts were samyukthas breasts, buttocks,
clitoris and . Samyuktha too often fucked her husbands as she
liked it most. They were delighted with each others company. They
enjoyed with each other both physically and mentally. Samyukthas
was filled by prithvirajs sperm minimum 16 times a day.
Samyuktha had the full control on prithviraj. She tied the king with her
by her beauty, love, infatuation and lust. Soon samyuktha gave birth to a
handsome male child. This incident took place in November 1191 A.D.
After this incident jaichandra also united with prithviraj. Now whole
north india came under prithviraj.As prithviraj was enjoying in India,
ghori worked hard and practiced well for the battle again. He punished
the soldiers who escaped from the battle- field and pledged to kill the
rajputs. Ghori hated love and he never liked sex and wife. So he had no
child. But he was lusted towards beautiful rajput women. This was one
of the reasons for his invasion on India. King prithviraj and queen
samyuktha ruled the whole north india with peace love and wealth.
Prithviraj continued his enjoyment with his wife. He stayed always with
his wife in the harem and never practised for the battle. Samyukthas
large beautiful breasts secreted more milk as she gave birth to the child.
She gave her breast milk not only to her child but also to her husband.
Prithviraj drank Samyukthas breast milk daily by her breast. Like
their king the Rajputs also enjoyed with their wives and not practised for
the battle. Ghori got the news of prithvirajs marriage, love and lust. He
also heard about prithvis loving, beautiful and sexy wife. He lusted
towards samyuktha and decided to secure her at any cost. He thought
that it was the right time to invade India.
 56

So cruel ghori again invaded India again. This time his aim was not to
conquer india but to rape Queen Samyuktha. Alarmed by this news
prithviraj further increased the strength of his army. His army now
consists of 5,00,000 horses, 5,000 elephants and 5,00,000 foot warriors.
Though he increased the number of warriors in his army he did not
practiced for war. He continued to have sex with his wife and so
samyuktha again conceived. This incident took place in December 1191
A.D. Before going to the war he enjoyed that night with his wife
completely. Then with this mighty army he again met ghori in same
battlefield. Ghori's army consists of 1,25,000 warriors. The second battle
took place in January 1192 A.D. The gurids had insufficiency of armour
as their was great demand for steel in their country. They did not have
steel even to make bows. So they used composite bows made of bones
and horns of animals. But rajputs had large quantity of quality armour
has they had good steel resource. Even in armour muslims were much
behind the rajputs. Thus the rajput had advantage both in numerical
strength and in armour.

Prithviraj chauhan - part 3

In the battle that followed rajputs fought with number and muslims with
courage. Thus in the battle ill-practised rajputs were greatly massacred
by ghori's cruel warriors. Though the rajputs were able to resist the
muslims in the beginning, soon they became tired as they wasted their
seminal energy during sex with their wives. The battle continued all the
day from sunrise to sunset. At evening Ghori with his best 12,500
warriors attacked rajputs. In this final charge the rajput bodies were torn
into pieces. The rajputs fell to the Muslims like deer before cheetah.
More than 7,00,000 rajput soldiers were killed in the battle field. Afraid
to fight turkish army prithviraj dismounted his elephant and ran away
from the battle field with his horse. Others also ran away from the battle-
field. They were given solid chase and they were killed. Ghori chased
Prithviraj and captured him after killing his horse. The next day, Prithvi
was taken to his capital ajmer. Since all the rajput soldiers were killed by
ghurids the message of the defeate did not reach Prithvis fort in ajmer
soon. Ghori knew that the rajput women would perform jauhar. So he
 57

advanced quickly to capture them. As expected chauhan women were

unaware of their defeate, dressed beautifully and awaiting for their
victorious husbands. When the ghurids entered the fort they did not
know what to do. All the chauhan women fell into the hands of ghurids.
Samyuktha was about to perform jauhar but she was captured by Ghori
before that. Samyuktha was pregnant(3 months) at that time. Ghori was
amazed at her beauty. He had never seen such beautiful women in his
life. There in ajmer, on the same day, Prithviraj and samyuktha were tied
separately face to face. Ghori kissed samyukthas lips and breasts. She
cried for help. Prithviraj shouted at Ghori with ugly words and
challenged him for a head to head mortal combat. Ghori agreed for the
fight. In the fight that followed in front of samyuktha prithviraj was
disastrously defeated and fainted by the blows of ghori. Prithvirajas
was cut off by ghori and then Ghori crushed prithvirajs
reproductive organ. Ghori then ate the of prithvi that was cutoff by
him and chewed the testis of prithviraj that was crushed by him. Then he
blinded Prithviraj chauhan. After giving these cruel punishments to rai
pitharo, Ghori beheaded prithviraj with a single blow from his sword.
Seeing the fate of her handsome husband samyuktha fainted and fell
down. Thus ghori killed prithviraj in the very next day after the battle.
Samyuktha looked even more beautiful as she was pregnant. Ghori
carried samyuktha to his bed. Ghori tored and removed her dresses by
force and made her naked. He even more wondered when he saw her
largest breasts and buttocks. He sprang on her and cruelly raped her
again and again. Her breasts, buttocks, clitoris and were bitten by
ghori. Those sacred beautiful organs of Rani Samyuktha which were
fucked only by Raja Prithviraj chauhan were now made impure by ghori.
Ghori even drank the milk of samyukthas breast. Ghori chewed
samyukthas breasts. He also poured his sperm into samyukthas mouth.
Ghori inserted his into samyukthas holy and released his
impure sperm in it. Thus the pure reproductive organ of samyuktha
which enjoyed prithvirajs company was made impure by ghori. The
beautiful and charming empress who loved her husband too much was
unable to bear these disgraces made to her by cruel ghori. She soon
escaped secretly from ghori, took poison and jumped into the fire and
 58

killed herself and reached heaven with her lord. Ghori became very
much angry and disappointed as he missed samyuktha. He killed the
newborn infant of prithviraj cruelly. The of all the rajput men was
cut off and they were killed. All rajput women were raped and their
breasts were burnt and their was cruelly wounded. Their children
were made slaves. Most of the women who were raped by muslims
killed themselves. All men, women and children of chauhans were
killed. Women of chauhan family were cruelly raped like samyuktha
before they killed themselves. In the second battle not even a single
muslim was wounded or killed. But in the other hand all the rajput
soldiers were killed by muslims cruelly. This was the only battle in
history in which the army with most numerical superiority than the
enemy was completely routed and killed within a day by the enemy.
Thus due to prithviraj's infatuation, love and lust towars his wife
samyuktha the whole north india was destroyed by cruel ghori. Thus 23
years old Prithviraj was killed by 43 years old Ghori and 19 years old
Samyuktha killed herself as she was raped by Ghori. Thus handsome,
over confident, lovable and haughty emperor prithviraj chauhan and his
beautiful wife samyuktha were killed by cruel and tyrant sultan ghori.

Prithviraj chauhan - part 4

When Ghori killed Prithviraj and captured his fort, A worse fate
overtook the Hindu women at his fort. Women with babies and pregnant
ladies were haltered, manacled, fettered and chained, and pressed as
slaves into service of every soldier. In a short space of time all the
people in the fort were put to the sword, and in the course of one hour
the heads of 1,00,000 infidels were cut off. The sword of Islam was
washed in the blood of the infidels, and all the goods and effects, the
treasure and the grain which for many a long year had been stored in the
fort became the spoils of Ghoris soldiers. They set fire to the houses and
reduced them to ashes, and they razed the buildings and the fort to the
ground. The fort was sacked and all the infidel Hindus were slain, their
wives and children were made prisoners and their property and goods
became the spoils of the victors. He directed his soldiers to "p****er and
 59

destroy and kill everyone whom they met". "And so the soldiers
p****ered every house, killed the men, and carried a number of Hindu
prisoners, both male and female." Ghori forcibly circumcised thousands
of Hindus and compelled them to eat cow-meat, a monstrous act of
impiety. He seized two thousand rajput women of chauhans harem and
delivered them to his troops to rape. Thousands of hindus died that night.
Moslem troops attacked the rajput girls. Stripping them naked, the
troops raped, bayoneted, and murdered lovely rajput girls. Dozens of
girls jumped to their death from the roof of the building rather than
suffer the fate of their sisters. The captured rajput women, all of them
were paraded in front of Ghori, naked or scantily clad, so that their
leader could make his choice. Ghori and his men then forced the Hindu
women to come out in the streets completely naked and took out a
procession. No chadors or veils for kafir women. Hindu women were
taken captives and kept in the army barracks without clothes for the
enjoyment of the 'believers'. Kafir women are to be treated as slaves of
Moslems and the treatment is clearly indicated in the Koran and the
Hadis. Kidnapping of Hindu women by Moslem gangs was then became
a common feature in India. This led to many riots and many rajput lives
were lost. It became practically impossible for Hindu girls to go out
alone in the streets to attend to daily chores without being teased,
insulted or kidnapped by the Moslem ruffians. The Turks were
responsible for the torture, robbery, slaughter and rape of thouands of
Rajputs.
The marauding Bashigazouks of this mad sultan Ghori were notorious
for running down and ravishing women and girls while on horse-back.
All rajput males who fell into their hands were forcibly circumcised and
sodomized.The mad Ghori built a pyramid of the skulls of the rajput
army. In a well near by, they threw the sex organs of the infidels. About
3,00,000 rajput soldiers were thus butchered. The Rajput soldiers who
fell into the hands of the followers of Allah, had their cut off for
every true believer had to destroy the generative power of the infidel
before he could gain admittance into Allah's paradise. Castration of the
infidel was not only an act of piety for the Moslems but one of shame to
the kafir. The infidel's head was severed and placed between his thighs,
 60

the seat of dishonor. Ghori and his turks insulted the Rajputs cruelly.
Captive chauhans were also tortured by infibulation or artificial
phimosis (mobri, muzzling), elongation of the prepuce or foreskin and
constriction of the orifice, a painful punishment. With the chauhan
women captives, often their vulva was sewed up. Other practices
involved mutilation of the uterus by means of iron prongs, burning the
breasts and excision of the clitoris. A very painful punishment was
splitting the of a chauhan. This was called sub-incision.
Mohammed Ghori attacked the Hindus several times and after each
attack a general massacre followed. Rapes and pillage came afterward.
Ghori attacked Jaichand soon in 1194A.D. and massacred his large army
and killed him. The Gahadvad treasuries at Asni and Varanasi were
p****ered. In Benares which is the center of the country of Hind (India),
Ghori destroyed one thousand temples and raised mosques on their
foundations. The slaughter of Hindus at Varanasi was immense; none
were spared except women and children, and the carnage of men went
on until the earth was weary. The Moslem hordes attacked the Rajput
kingdoms many times and the Rajputs fought back heroically but were
defeated by the Moslems over and over again. As the Rajputs lost in the
battles, the Moslems let loose terror on the entire population. The
Rajputs' houses of worship were destroyed, their women raped and
carried away, their children taken away as bonded labor and all non-
combat/ants murdered. The Rajputs soon came to know the way of the
Moslems. As it appeared that the battles could not be won, they
themselves killed their women and children, Masada style, and then
went to fight with the Moslems until death. In many cases, the Rajput
women took their own lives by taking poison and then jumping into a
deep fiery pit. This was called the Jauhar Vrat or 'sacrifice of fire'. The
men of course went out to fight and died to a man. Now, the question is
why did the women jump into the fire to be burnt alive when they were
going to die of the poison anyway? The answer is simple. If the
Moslems got hold of the dead bodies of the kafir women after victory in
the battle, they would then rape even the dead bodies of these women. It
was to prevent such 'desecration' of their own bodies after death by
poison that the Rajput women used to jump into the pits of fire. Thus,
 61

when the Moslems finally came to the city, they did not find a single
woman's body, dead or alive. A great disappointment! What Isla did to
rajputs can only be considered rape. Not only were the women of the
rajput kingdom physically raped, but their culture, their temples, their
way of life, everything is systematically raped. Every invading army
rapes, but it is only in Islam that women are carried away to be kept in
harems, subjected to perpetual rape. Only Islam!

Prithviraj chauhan was the king of most of north india at the end of 12th
century. He ruled from his twin capitals delhi and ajmer. He was born on
1168A.D. He became king at the age of 11. He expanded his kingdom by
a number of military expeditions. Prithviraj were very handsome.
Prithviraj and Samyogita the princes of Kanouj loved each other.
Sanyogita was very beautiful princess. Jayachandra the king of kanouj
hated prithviraj for his rising fame. In those days chauhans, rathods of
kanouj and chalukyas of gujarat were powerful hindu kingdoms and they
were fighting each other. Rajput men were handsome and their women
were beautiful.
Muhammed ghori, cruel sultan of afghanistan, invaded india in
1191A.D. and attacked prithviraj's fort. Prithviraj's army had 3,00,000
soldiers in horses, 3,000 elephant and 3,00,000 foot soldiers. Ghori had
just 1,00,000 chivalry. So he could not defeate prithviraj and he had to
retreat.
Soon after this first battle Prithviraj kidnapped samyuktha from her
swayamvar and eloped to delhi. They married and had great enjoyment.
They continued their honeymoon endlessly. Soon sanyogta gave birth to
a male child. Prithviraj forget his duties and spent all his time with his
beautiful wife. Knowing the condition of prithviraj ghori again invaded
india in 1192A.D.
Prithviraj was alarmed with this news and he appealed to jayachandra
and bhima the king of gujarat. Thus prithviraj with their help raised the
strength of his army tremendously. Now his army consists of 5,00,000
soldiers in horses, 5,000 elephants and 5,00,000 soldiers in foot. Ghori
 62

again with his 1,00,000 barbarians attacked the fort of Prithviraj. Since
the hindus were very large in number ghori cannot capture the fort of
prithviraj. So he cunningly retreated. Taken with two easy victories the
rajputs started to enjoy with their wives that night. Prithviraj and
Samyuktha again had their first night.
Ugly Ghori and his ugly barbarians stealthily entered the chauhan fort
that night. Each rajput soldier was enjoying that night with their
beautiful wives. Ghori and his soldiers entered rajput houses. Rajputs
were having sex with their wives and they were double crossed by
muslims. The muslims killed all the rajput men by cutting off their
reproductive organs. They raped their wives cruelly and cut off their
breasts. Unable to suffer humiliations at the hand of gurids rajputni's
committed sucide. Ghori entered prithviraj's harem. Prithviraj was
having sex with his wife in his bed. Prithviraj was shocked to see ghori.
In that bitter fight that followed prithviraj's reproductive organ was cut
off and he was killed by ghori. Queen samyuktha was raped by ghori
cruelly. Ghori tored the beautiful Breasts of samyuktha with his ugly
teeth. She committed sucide unable to bear the disgrace. Ghori also
killed the infant child of prithviraj. All ten lakhs rajput soldiers in the
fort were killed, their wives were raped and their children were made
slaves.
Similarly in 1193A.D, Ghori defeated the rathods and in 1194A.D, Ghori
defeated the chalukyas. Thus ghori destroyed all the rajputs by fraud
attack i.e, attacking the rajputs in nights when they were having sex with
their wives. Ghori thus killed handsome King Prithviraj Chauhan and
raped his beautiful wife Queen Samyuktha.

Prithviraj Chauhan Afghans still stamped on his grave because Prithviraj

killed Ghori, 900yrs ago

Prithvi Raj III, commonly known as Prithvi Raj Chauhan, (1166-1192
CE) was a king of the Hindu Kshatriya Chauhan (Chauhamana) dynasty,
who ruled the kingdom of Ajmer ( MY BELOVED CITY) and Delhi in
northern India during the latter half of the 12th century.
 63

Prithvi Raj Chauhan belonged to the Agnikula clan of Rajput Kshatriyas,

which according to several scholars, was of the Gurjar stock.[1][2]
Prithviraj Chauhan was the last independent Hindu king to sit upon the
throne of Delhi[citation needed]. He succeeded to the throne in 1169
A.D. at the age of 20, and ruled from the twin capitals of Ajmer and
Delhi which he received from his maternal grand-father Ballal Sen of the
Sen Dynasty in Bengal. He controlled much of present-day Rajasthan
and Haryana, and unified the Rajputs against Muslim invasions. His
elopement with Samyukta (Sanyogita), the daughter of Jai Chandra
Rathod, the Gahadvala king of Kannauj, in 1175, is a popular romantic
tale in India, and is one of the subjects of the Prithviraj Raso, an epic
poem composed by Prithviraj's court poet and friend, Chand Bardai.

Prithvi Raj defeated the Afghan ruler Muhammad Ghori in the First
Battle of Tarain in 1191 CE. Ghori attacked for a second time next year,
and Prithvi Raj was defeated and slain at the Second Battle of Tarain in
1192 CE. After his defeat Delhi came under the control of Muslim
rulers. Qila Rai Pithora in Delhi, also known as Pithoragarh, is named
after him.

Prithviraj Chauhan's succession was not secure since the death of

Vigraha-raja in 1165; Prithviraj re-consolidated control over the
Chauhan kingdom and conquered several neighboring kingdoms,
making the Chauhan kingdom the leading Hindu kingdom in northern
India. He campaigned against the Chandela Rajputs of Bundelkhand and
his kingdom included much of present-day northwest India including
Rajasthan, Haryana, parts of Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab. The princely
state of Nabha had close relations with Prithviraj Chauhan.
Prithviraj Chauhan, also called Rai Pathora, was the ruler of Ajmer and
Delhi, and was the strongest ruler of Northern India toward the end of
the twelfth century. He was known to be brave, powerful, and was the
essence of Rajput chivalry. Prithvirajs' first cousin Jaichand (Raja of
Kanauj), had strained relations with Prithviraj because their grandfather
Ajaya Deva (father of both their mothers) made Prithviraj heir to the
throne of Delhi.
 64

Ballal Sen, the King of Delhi and Gaud (Bengal), had two daughters,
Roopsundari and Kamaladevi. Roopsundari was married to Vijaypal,
King of Kannauj and had a son Jai Chandra. Jai Chandra's daughter was
named Sanyogita. Kamaladevi was married to Someshwar Chauhan, the
King of Ajmer and had a son Prithviraj and a daughter Pratha. Prithviraj
later married cousin Sanyogita and Pratha was married to Samar Singh
(Maharana (King) of Chittor). His uncle Kanh's daughter was married to
Raja Pajawan or Pajjun of Amber.

The battle against Bhimdev Solanki of Gujarat.

Prior to this battle, Prithviraj Chauhan had killed many of Bhimdev's

generals. During this battle Bhimdev's son Vanraj Solanki was seen as a
real danger to watch out for due to his known military tactics. A general
who served Someshwar had betrayed Prithviraj and had joined Bhimdev.
He had given all the inside information to Bhimdev and had poisoned
Prithviraj Chouhan's army. Prithviraj's army was then reduced to a mere
300. Bhimdev's first round of combat was sending 500 soldiers to finish
Prithviraj Chauhan's army off. However, as this failed, Bhimdev then
decided to send 1000 soldiers to attack in the middle of the night. On the
final day, Bhimdev himself clashed with Prithviraj Chauhan's sword and
was defeated.

The battle against Mahoba.

Some soldiers from Delhi were injured in Digvijay and decided to stop
at the Mahoba royal gardens and ask for help. The Mahoba soldiers at
the royal gardens told the Delhi soldiers that they had given insult to the
Mohaba king Parmar by stepping into his garden and were attacked and
killed. Prithviraj Chauhan came to know of this and declared war on
Mahoba. During the battle for Mahoba the Mahoban army was split into
3 different sections. One was led by the Prince of Mahoba, while the
other two were led by the brothers Alha and Udal. Prithviraj Chauhan
defeated the section under the control of Udal and also the section under
the control of the Prince of Mahoba. Udal had injured Pundir (a friend
 65

and general of Prithviraj Chauhan) in combat. Udal was then killed by

Prithviraj Chauhan who was badly injured during the battle and could
hardly move. Prithviraj and another friend Sanjham Rai, who was also
badly injured, fell down a nearby hill and were left to be eaten by crows.
Sanjham Rai, in an attempt to save his friend Prithviraj, allowed the
crows to feed on him and not on Prithviraj. Prithviraj Chauhan was
saved by Sanjham Rai who died a slow death. Alha's section was still in
battle with Prithviraj's army when Alha had seen Prithviraj fall. Alha was
stopped from killing Prithviraj Chauhan by his guru as his guru
explained that Alha only wanted to kill for revenge of his brother Udal
and not for the welfare of the Mahoba State. When help arrived from
another friend, Chand Bardai, Prithviraj became unconscious. Prithviraj
later woke in a hut in front of an alchemist. He was shocked for the
death of his close friend and grieved for him.

Prithviraj Chauhan recovered from this battle and continued his

conquests winning one kingdom after another.

3) One of Prithviraj's small battles was against King Raichand. King

Raichand and some of the other neighbouring kings saw Prithviraj's
injury and tenderness. At a time when they knew Prithviraj could not
fight, they attacked Delhi's army. The generals and close friend of
Prithviraj Chauhan guarded the king of Delhi. Some villagers also came
in handy to help fight off King Raichand. King Raichand was killed in
this battle.

4) Prithviraj Chauhan had claimed victory over forces in mountains,

taking over the Kukada kingdom. He continued to take over kingdoms,
extending his region in all four directions. His army continued a
somewhat bloody victory march for over four years.

5) The last battle of his victory march was against the king of
Dariyagargh. Prithviraj Chauhan won the battle and decided to return to
Delhi, to celebrate his victory in the Digvijay. But soon after conquering
the kingdom of Daryigargh he had to witness the destruction of a major
 66

portion of his state. This was Muhammad Ghori's first attack on

Prithviraj's domain. .

First Battle of Tarain

Ghori's conquests brought him to the border of Prithviraj's Chauhan

kingdom, and in 1191 A.D. Muhammad Ghori captured a fortress, either
at Sirhind or Bathinda in present-day Punjab state, on the Chauhan's
northwestern frontier. Prithviraj's army, led by his vassal prince
Govinda-Raja of Delhi, rushed to the defense of the frontier, and the two
armies met at the town of Tarain (Taraori), near Thanesar in present-day
Haryana, approximately 150 kilometres north of Delhi.

According to urban myth in contemporary India the armies clashed first

with the charge of the Rajput cavalry. Two regiments of the Turkic army
with Muhammad Ghori fled the center with a body of soldiers; where
Ghori met Govind-raja in personal combat. Govinda-raja lost his front
teeth to Muhammad Ghori's lance. As the battle continued the Ghori
army was exhausted, shorn of water, and unfamiliar with the scale of its
opponent it retreated in apparent disarray towards the Afghan highlands.
Ghori was also wounded in the battle and had to be rescued.

<b>Second Battle of Tarain<b>

In 1192, the invading Ghori army returned to challenge Prithviraj at the

Second Battle of Tarain. Muhammad Ghori proceeded towards India
with an army numbering 120,000. When he reached Lahore, he sent his
envoy to Prithviraj Chauhan to demand his surrender but Prithviraj
Chauhan refused to comply. Prithviraj Chauhan then issued a fervent
appeal to his fellow Rajput rulers and aristocracy to come to his aid
against Muhammed Ghori.

Prithviraj assembled a very large army with the aid of approximately

150 Rajput rulers and aristocrats, according to Firishta, it consisted of
3,000 elephants, 300,000 horsemen and considerable infantry.[4] Some
 67

historians believe these figures may be exaggerated but the army was
larger than that of Ghori. The army proceeded to meet Ghori in Tarain
where Prithviraj a year before he had inflicted defeat on his adversary,
confident of defeating him again. Muhammad Ghori delivered an
ultimatum to Pritviraj that he convert to Islam or be defeated. Prithviraj
countered with an offer that Muhammad consider a truce and be allowed
to retreat with his army. Ghori decided to attack.

Ghori divided his troops into 5 parts and attacked the Rajput armies in
the early morning hours sending waves of mounted archers to attack the
Rajput forces, but retreated as the Rajput elephant phalanx advanced.
Ghori deployed four parts to attack the Rajputs on four sides keeping a
fifth part of his army in reserve. Khande Rao (General of Prithviraj), was
killed. The enthusiasm of Prithviraj also dampened against these
reverses. At dusk, Ghori led a force of heavily-armored horsemen to the
center of the Rajput line which collapsed into confusion, Prithviraj
deserted the battlefield and attempted to escape.[3][5] but was captured
and killed by Ghori. The Rajput Army also broke ranks and fled, giving
victory to Ghori.

The Rajput kingdoms of Saraswati, Samana, Kohram, and Hansi were

captured by Ghori without difficulty and he marched onwards
unchallenged towards Ajmer. Sultan Muhammad Ghori spared the son of
Prithviraj Chauhan, Kola, who in turn took the oath of loyalty to Ghori.

The Raso written by Chand Bardai and finished by his son, wrote an
alternate end to the second battle of tarrain in which Prithviraj kills
Ghori in his own court.The historical correctness of this is debatable.
[13] He describes that,a Blind Prithviraj(He was blinded by Ghori for
not lowering his eyes in front of Ghori) was ridiculed by Ghori and his
soldiers and was asked to show his talent in an archery contest. He
agreed and on the day of the exhibition, guided by the instructions given
in form of poetry by his friend and biographer Chandbardai, and
listening to the voice of Ghor he shot his arrow and killed him. The
famous doha or couplet in Hindi is char bans chaubis gaj , angul asth
 68

praman, ta uper sultan hai, mat chuke chauhan. His son then writes that
he and Prithviraj kill each other in a heroic end.
The book "Arms and Armour: Traditional Weapons of India" by
E Jaiwant Paul says on the outskirts of Ghazni are two domed
tombs... The larger was of Ghori and few meters away was a
second smaller tomb of Prithviraj Chauhan.
"In the centre of the second tomb was a bare patch of earth
where the actual grave should have been. Hanging over this spot
from the top of the dome is a long, thick rope ending in a knot at
shoulder height. Local visitors would grab hold of this knot in
one hand and stamp vigorously and repeatedly with one foot on
the bare patch in the centre of the tomb," says Paul, a weapons
collector.
Paul, who saw this on his visit to Afghanistan says on seeking
an explanation, he found that the Afghans still stamped on his
grave because Prithviraj killed Ghori, 900 years ago.
Most history books say that Prithviraj was slain in a battle. But in
Afghanistan, Prithviraj's tomb stands near Ghazni and history books
need to be rewritten, he says adding "his remains must be brought back
home, where they belong."

Homosexual Icon and Gay King Mahmud of Ghazni

 69

Mahmud of Ghazni and his boy-slave Malik Ayaz

In this post I will talk about Homosexual Icon and Gay King Mahmud of
Ghazni, who some allege was also a pedophile.
Who was Mahmud of Ghazni?
Yamn-ud-Dawla Abul-Qim Mamd ibn Sebktegn also known as
Mahmud of Ghazni or Mehmood Ghaznavi (971 to 1030 AD) was a
tyrant despot ruler who invaded India 17 times and butchered hundreds
of thousands of people.
He was a Jihadi off the highest order and killed hundreds of thousands of
Hindu and Buddhists including monks, women and innocent children.
He is considered a heroic figure in the terrorist state of Pakistan for his
destruction of Hindu temples and his general savagery against Hindus.
He is also considered a Homosexual icon in the LGBT community of
Pakistan. (7)

Al-Biruni writes about him: Mahmud utterly ruined the prosperity of the
country, and performed there wonderful exploits, by which the Hindus
became like atoms of dust.This is the reason, too, why Hindu sciences
have retired far away from those parts of the country conquered by us.

Sultan Mahmud was famous for having a romance with a man (9).
Mahmud of Ghazni fell in love with his Turkish slaveMalik Ayaz. Their
relationship became widely regarded as true love in Islamic literature.
(2) As per Paklins (8), the most famous example was the love between
Mahmoud of Ghazni and his slave, Ayaz. As per James Neill (6), "The
love between the first Islamic Ruler in Indian sub-continent, Sultan
 71

Mahmud of Ghazni and his slave Malik Ayaz was such that it became an
Islamic legend."

Malik Ayaz, son of Aymq Abu'n-Najm, was a slave from Georgia who
rose to the rank of officer and general in the army of Sultan Mahmud of
Ghazni (also known as Mahmud Ghaznavi). Malik Ayaz's same-sex
relationship with Mahmud inspired poems and stories. (5)

Ghaznis love for his slave boy is Islamic legend. It is said that the two
were each others slave- one a slave in deed, and another a slave in love.
The sultan even raised Ayaz to kingship and made him the king of
Lahore. (1)

Mahmud of Ghazni Same-Sex Love Stories

As per a popular Islamic folklore,the following events record the deep
gay love of Mahmud Ghazni and Ayaz.
Mahmud asked Ayaz "Who is the most powerful ruler in the world?"
Ayaz replied "I am the most powerful"
Mahmud said "Please explain wht you mean"
Ayaz replied "You, Mahmud, are the most powerful of all kings, But
since I rule your heart, I am more powerful still."

As per another incident mentioned in Bustan by great Persian poet Sadi:

Someone said: "Ayaz, his favorite slave possesses no beauty. It is strange
that a nightingale should love a rose that has neither color nor perfume."
Mahmud Ghazni replied: "My love, O sir, is for virtue, not for form or
stature". (1)

In another story the king was travelling with some of his men when an
overturned chest of pearls is discovered; all except Ayaz go after the
pearls. Questioned by Mahmud about the possibility of gaining riches,
Ayaz explains he wants nothing. I walked in haste behind thee, I do not
 72

occupy myself with riches away from thy service. (14)

Mahmud of Ghazni Gay Love Poem

A paraphrase by Edwin Arnold of a poem by Saadi about the love

between Mahmud and Malik Ayaz is given below. (4)

THEY mockd the Sovereign of Ghaznin: one saith,

Ayaz hath no great beauty, by my faith!
A Rose that s neither rosy-red nor fragrant,
The Bulbuls love for such astonisheth!

This went to Mahmuds ears; ill-pleasd he sate, 5

Bowd on himself, reflecting; then to that
Replied: My love is for his kindly nature,
Not for his stature, nor his face, nor state!

And I did hear how, in a rocky dell,

Bursting a chest of gems a camel fell; 10
King Mahmud wavd his sleeve, permitting plunder,
But spurrd his own steed onward, as they tell.
 73

His horsemen parted from their Lord amain,

Eager for pearls, and corals, and such gain:
Of all those neck-exalting courtiers 15
None except Ayaz near him did remain.

The King lookd backHow many hast thou won,

Curld comfort of my heart? He answerd None!
I gallopd up the pass in rear of thee;
I quit thee for no pearls beneath the sun! 20

Oh, if to God thou hast propinquity,

For no wealth heedless of His service be!
If Lovers true of God shall ask from God
Aught except God, that s infidelity.

If thine eyes fix on any gift of Friend, 25

Thy gain, not his, is thy desires end:
If thy mouth gape in avarice, Heavens message
Unto Hearts ear by that road shall not wend.

It well-known that many Turkics from Mahmud of Ghazni to Babur and

from Ottomans to Safavids practiced homosexuality. Here is a beautiful
Indo-Islamic painting that depicts Mahmud of Ghazni with his male
lover, Ayaz.
 74

Please note that I have censored the image to ensure that no one's

sentiment is hurt.

As per noted myth-buster and history researcher, Captain Ajit Vadkayil

Let me lay the bottomline right on top. Mahmud of Ghazni did NOT get
any wealth in Somnath temple. In sheer frustration he kidnapped the
most attractive of the nearly 400 dancing girls . Mahmud was a
 75

homosexual ( the receiving type ) and he had NO use for these girls. It
was for proof. Below: DE DO YAAAR ! CHAL DENA YAAR !!"

As per LGBT Muslims (7),

"Their love story has been the subject of many poems, songs, and
stories. Today, many people visit Malik Ayazs tomb in Lahore;
remembering the citys first Muslim ruler, who made the city a cultural
center for the entire area. The relationship between these two remains a
strong inspiration for gay people. This is because the Sultan brought
Islam to the region, and therefore it reminds them that Islam is far less
homophobic than what the new fundamentalist generations want people
to believe."

Homoeroticity, Homosexuality and Pedophilia in Urdu and Persian

Literature and Culture
Extant Urdu literary canon .. contained several examples of homoerotic
desire, especially in case of ghazals where a male speaker often
expressed his love and longing for a young male companion. (10)
 76

As per James Neill, "Homosexuality continues to be prevalent among

the Muslims of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, down to the present
day. The widespread homosexuality of Islamic India, a contracts to
the more restrained sexual mores of Hindu India, came as a shock to
the British when they discovered the customs during their colonial
rule. When in 1845, Sir Charles Napier conquered and annexed
Sindh, the region around Karachi in modern day Pakistan, his forces
discovered a number of male brothels featuring boys and eunuchs".
(6)

As per Alice Albinia (9), Pashtuns - Afghan and Pakistani - are notorious
for preferring male to female lovers.

As per paklinks (8):

Miranda Kennedy says that Among the Pashtun majority, having a
young, attractive boyfriend is a symbol of prestige and wealth for
affluent middle-aged men. Indeed, Pashtun men often keep a young
boy in their hujra, the male room of the house that the wife rarely
enters. She also says that sex is commonplace in Pakistan's gender-
segregated madrassas, or religious schools. However, one of the
problems of Western journalists reports of boy-marriage in this part
of the world is that they often conflate this ancient custom with
pedophilia and reduce what was often a love-match to a temporary
commercial arrangement.
 77

In a shocking article on pedophilia in Pakistan, Director Mohammed

Naqvi and British producer Jamie Dorans film Pakistans Hidden
Shame was shown in UK on Channel 4, revealing the punishing
reality of paedophilia occurring in the northern areas of Pakistan. The
documentary, mainly set in the city of Peshawar, interviews homeless
boys of different ages recalling their experiences of sexual abuse and
male prostitution. The documentary claims that nine out of 10
children in Peshawar have been victims of paedophilia. It also
includes interviews with the truck drivers who have committed such
crimes. Unashamed, callous and remorseless, one of the drivers
admits to having raped more than 10 boys. When confronted, PTI
Chairman Imran Khan admitted, It is one of the most sad and
shameful aspects of our society. I am totally embarrassed by this and
that we have not really been able to protect them. (12)

5 Queer Muslims in History

Ask anyone in mainstream society, and they will gladly tell you: Islam is
a homophobic faith. However, a quick walk down in memory lane tells
us differently. What if someone told you that Prophet Muhammad had
gays living in his house, that there was once a caliph who was openly
gay, and that there were Muslims who decriminalized homosexuality
before most of the rest of the world?
Of course, there are many who dont like these facts, but, yes, Islam has
not been as homophobic as some would like you to believe! Imagine, all
these characters were just living their lives. Each one of them, however,
in their own way, made an impact on todays LGBT Muslims.
Lets go through the times:
1. The Man Who Lived in the Prophets Home
Umm Salama, one of the wives of the Prophet, had an in-home male
servant who was supposed to be gay but who proved to be otherwise.
Faris Malik, an American researcher, says that the man had been falsely
assumed to be indifferent to women due to his being an effeminate man
[mukhannath]. Needless to say, he was kicked out from the house. The
story was reported in both Bukhari and Muslim authentic hadiths.
2. The Poet Who Angered the Masses
Abu Nuwas was a renowned entertainer who lived in the Islamic Golden
Age. His father was Arab, and his mother was Persian. He blended the
cultures, and wowed the Caliphs. According to American historian
George E. Haggerty, Abu Nuwas was openly gay and his poems are full
of homoerotic references to his lovers, the caliphs, and the men he
desired during his lifetime. He was exiled by one caliph, and is believed
to have been imprisoned by another, but he outlived most of his critics
and has managed to keep himself in the history books.
 79

3. The Caliph Who Ruled The Muslim World

During the same period as Abu Nuwas, there was also another gay
Muslim who made history. Caliph Al-Amin, the son of Harun al-Rashid,
led the Muslim World despite being openly gay. Muslim historian Al-
Tabari wrote that he fell madly in love with one of his male slaves,
Kauthar, whom he had named after a river in paradise. Imam Daayiee
Abdullah, who is openly gay, says Al-Amins mother went to great
lengths, including fashioning young women in the harem into men, in
order to lure her son from his homosexuality. Of course, she failed.
4. The Lover Who Stole Rumis Heart
It was in the middle of the 13th Century when one day Rumi met Shams
al-Din in a market in Konya, Turkey. Its said their eyes met, and the two
rarely separated after that. According to Keith Hale, an American
scholar, Rumi and Shams would sometimes disappear into a room for
months at a time, which led to jealousy among Rumis students and
made them exile Shams at least twice. But, each time Rumi would be so
heartbroken that they would allow the return of Shams to Konya.
5. The Vizier Who Changed the Law
Mustafa Reid Pasha was the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire not
once but six times. Although he was married twice to women and had
five children, its believed he was gay. Between 1840 and 1857, he
championed for many reforms, including decriminalizing
homosexuality, which the Caliph made legal in 1858. This made the
Ottoman Empire the first powerful nation in the world to decriminalize
homosexualityover 100 years before the United Kingdom or the
United States.

Gay Muslim heroes: Mahmud of Ghazni and Ayaz

Posted on November 26, 2010 by admin
The names of Sultan Mahmuds nine wives, dozens of concubines, and
more than fifty children are largely lost to history. Not so the name of
Ayaz, his slave and male lover. The love between the two is often given
as an example of ishq, or desire that is so intense that it overwhelms the
ego. Thus it has long been a staple of writers praising selfless love. Of
 80

the many legendary love stories in India, theirs is alone in being between
two males, and in having a happy ending. Mahmud, an Afghan Turkish
king who reigned between 997 and 1030, is notorious for his genocidal
slaughter of Indians, destruction of temples and cities, pillaging of
unimaginable wealth, and forced conversion to Islam of entire regions.
Oddly, he is also famed as a man whose love made him a slave to his
slave. Ayaz, his slave, was for a thousand years a paragon of faithfulness
and devotion.

Apart from the histories, their relationship has been enshrined by the
poets into a series of anecdotes that may or may not be historical, and
that characterize it as one that is consistent with the Quranic teachings,
in other words one that includes desire but is not sodomitical, or to use
Islamic terminology, one that does not include liwat (In Islam,
copulation between males is associated with the Biblical Lot, the
inhabitant of Sodom). One particular anecdote addresses that topic:

The love borne by Mahmd Yamnud-Dawla to Ayz the Turk is well

known and famous. It is related that Ayz was not remarkably
handsome, but had several good points. Of sweet expression and olive
complexion, symmetrically formed, graceful in his movements, sensible
and deliberate in action, he was mightily endowed with all the arts of
courtiership, in which respect, indeed, he had few rivals in his time.
Now these are all qualities which excite love and give permanence to
friendship.

Now Mahmd was a pious and God-fearing man, and he wrestled with
his love for Ayz so that he did not diverge by so much as a single step
from the Path of the Law and the Way of Chivalry. One night, however,
at a carousal, when the wine had begun to affect him and love to stir
within him, he looked at the curls of Ayz, and saw, as it were, ambergris
rolling over the face of the moon, hyacinths twisted about the visage of
the sun, ringlet upon ringlet like a coat of mail; link upon link like a
 81

chain; in every ringlet a thousand hearts and under every lock a hundred
thousand souls. Thereupon love plucked the reins of self-restraint from
the hands of his endurance, and lover-like he drew him to himself. But
the watchman of Hath not God forbidden you to transgress against
Him? thrust forth his head from the collar of the Law, stood before
Mahmd, and said: O Mahmd, mingle not sin with love, nor mix the
false with the true, for such a slip will raise the Realm of Love in revolt
against thee, and thou wilt fall like thy first father from Loves Paradise,
and remain afflicted in the world of Sin.

The ear of his fortunate nature being quick to hear, he hearkened to this
announcement, and the tongue of his faith cried from his innermost soul,
We believe and we affirm. Then, again, he feared lest the army of his
self-control might be unable to withstand the evolutions of the locks of
Ayz, so, drawing a knife, he placed it in the hands of Ayz, bidding him
take it and cut off his curls. Ayz took the knife from his hands with an
obeisance, and, having enquired where he should cut them, was bidden
to cut them in the middle. He therefore doubled back his locks to get the
measurement, executed the Kings command, and laid the two tresses
before Mahmd.

The exact nature of the physical relations between Mahmud and Ayaz is
beyond our ken, and we would be naive to take this anecdote at its word.
On the other hand we would be foolish to ignore what it says to us about
the culture in which it arose, and which propagated it. It was compiled in
the mid-1100s by Nizami Aruzi. He was a student of another wise lover
of males, Omar Khayyam, the author of the Rubayyat made famous by
FitzGerald, whose rendition of one quatrain,

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,

A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread-and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness-
O, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
 82

has been endlessly and inanely pictured as a mans utterance to a girl.

Yet, in the style of much Persian and Turkic literature of the time, as
well as before and since, it was a boy Khayyam was speaking to.
Likewise, the culture that gave rise to and preserved for nine hundred
years Nizamis anecdote is one that praised the love between two
males as long as one of them was still a beardless youth, and that love
was of a chaste nature, in other words a non-penetrative sexuality. That
much is apparent if we read between the lines of Nizamis anecdote,
where we discover such a love ascribed to Sultan Mahmud, one of the
heroes that culture most admired.

Mahmud was the son of Sabuk Tigin, (tigin means prince in Turkic)
the ruler and governor of Khorasan, who is said by many sources to have
been the son of Alp Tigin, the previous governor. In reality Sabuk
Tigin had been a slave of Alp Tigin. He was bought at either Nishapur or
Bokhara at the age of fifteen together with 29 other pages. Styled a
ghulam (mignon, in Turkish, with all the sexual connotations the
Anglo-French word implies) by historians, he quickly entered Alp
Tigins favor and presumably his bed chamber. In time he was raised to
the rank of general, awarded the hand of one of Alp Tigins daughters,
and eventually succeeded him to the rulership. This pattern, of a man
taking a young male lover and then making him an official part of the
family by marrying him to a daughter is a timeless one, seen in history
from the days of Carthage (Hamilcar and Hasdrubal) to modern
Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It bears mention here that Alp Tigin himself had been originally a slave
who rose to the throne on the basis of his abilities. Thus the apparent
inequality between Sultan Mahmud and Ayaz is tenuous and fluid in a
number of ways. Mahmud himself is one of a series of slaves or sons of
slaves who rose to the rank of ruler. His love for Ayaz turns the tables of
power relations and places Ayaz in a dominant position. Ayaz is also said
to have been a boy at the time of their meeting, but the relationship was
long lasting, so that after their successful encounter as man and boy, they
were able to encounter and love each other as man and man. Finally,
 83

Mahmud raises Ayaz to the rank of king of Lahore, demonstrating in the

eyes of the world the fundamental equality between the two apparently
unequal lovers, and the equalizing power of love.

10 epic homosexual scandals of Muslim Sultans no one told you in

history class!
Another notable contribution of the saintly Indian Sultans to Indian
history

BY VASHI - July 20, 2016

Yes, these sex-scandals are hidden from history books. In Islamic
countries, you would be beheaded for being homosexual. But
homosexuality was an addiction for almost every Muslim sultan. They
were not strictly homosexual. They were instead sex-perverts who would
do anything for titillation of their de-sensitized organ. This perversion
shaped the history of medieval India.

These sultans would keep sex-slaves male and female. It was their
holy right.

The supposedly golden period of Islamic-rule in India strengthened the

foundations of slavery in India forever.

Muslim Sultans believed in gender equality. So the number of female

sex slaves was made equal to male sex slaves in their Harems. Male sex
slaves called as Ghilman as per holy book used to have blue eyes, soft
skin and hot face. Here are some 10 epic romantic love stories of these
blue eyed Ghilmans and Muslim Sultans.

1. Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi vandalized his ministers house (Abul

Abbas Fazal Bin Ahmed) after he came to know that latter possessed a
beardless boy that was as handsome as Venus. [By Khondamir in
Dastarul Wuzra]. The Sultan summoned him before plundering his
house, asked if he really had such boy in his house. After ministers
 84

denial, he was sacked from his ministerial position followed by

destruction of his house. So this was his craving for beardless boys.

2. Alauddin Khilji plundered Gujarat, enslaved the wife of King Karan

Singh- Rani Kamala Devi. Along with her, a boy named Kafur Hazaar
Dinaari (Ex-Hindu Slave bought for 1000 Dinars) was also abducted.
Khilji loved them both in different ways. Alauddin married Kamala
Devi after converting her to Islam. He wore a sacred Zunnar (robe) as a
symbol love for Kafur Hazar Dinaari. Sanjay Leela Bhansali can make a
movie on this love triangle as he is already set to make one on the love
story of Alauddins love (Islamic rape fantasies for Kafir women) for
Rani Padmini of Chittor.

3. Kafur Hazar Dinaari aka Malik Kafur was made the vice regent of the
Sultan. To make sure he remains soft enough for love, he was castrated
so that he never becomes a man. This reaped following benefits.

the Sultan made sure his sex-slaves would exclusively be raped by him
and remain untouched from male sex-slaves.

The castrated slaves could become managers of royal brothels.

Castration made sure they remained soft and innocents forever and
never overgrew.

Post castration, the slave could expect vital positions in army, royal
brothel and ministry since they would remain sexually inert/unaffected
in otherwise sex-driven royal culture.

4. Sultan Mubarak Khilji was another lovebird with similar cravings for
beardless boys. He was mad in love with a Ghilman (blue-eyed boy)
named Khusrau Khan.
 85

Khusrau was like a doting Islamic wife for the Sultan. He used to
provide comfort in the bed and outside to Sultan. He was appointed as
the army general who led Sultans armies towards south.

This love saga, however, met a tragic end. After Khusrau won Sultans
trust, one night when the two were in each others arms, Sultans organ
was cut off suddenly by none other than the arm that was comforting
him the previous moment! Khusrau put a dagger through Sultans
bottom and killed him to become the next Sultan.

5. Sultan Sikander Lodhi was another Muslim king who loved blue-eyed
boys in Harems. He loved variety. Every night, his urges would demand
a new face. He was an Islamic Ghazi in daytime who would slay Kafir
idolaters to establish Islamic rule. In night, he used to get surrounded
with boys and females as promised in Islamic heaven and enjoy group
sex.

6. Too much closeness of boy sex-slaves with their Sultan made others
feel jealous of them. This created many enemies within the male sex-
slave community and whenever a Sultan would die, all his loyal
boyfriends used to get killed by his successor. From Ghori to Babur to
Akbar to Aurangzeb to Bahadurshah, this bloodshed of blue-eyed boys
continued.

7. Ferishta narrates how Muhammed Bin Tughlaq gave ultimatum to the

boy slaves of Firoz Shah Tuglaq- either leave my kingdom in 3 days or
die. Only few best ones were retained for fulfillment of his dark night
time fantasies.

8. As per Barani, it was Allahs blessings that Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq was

not attracted towards beardless boys. However he had to get
disappointing when Muhammed Bin Tughlaq- formers son turned out to
be a boy-addict despite Allahs disapproval of same. As per Ibn Batuta,
this led to tussle between the father and the son.
 86

The love for boys was so rampant in Sultans that most of them had
maintained a full fledged department for same.

9. The Sultans had a special affinity towards hiring eunuchs on

important positions. Eunuchs served from guards to Viziers. Eunuchs
were males who were castrated before the king could enjoy them.

In other words, there was a blatant patronization of the brutal practice of

castration of young boys who were at the receiving end of the carnal
pleasures of an individual and were killed for no fault of their own. But
then our liberal historians find these marauders as rational kings !!!

10. So Sultans enjoyed several varieties of sex in different

permutations and combinations.

Kidnap and rape of non-Muslim girls and women

Sodomy with young boys
Mature men who would be mostly use and throw (kill) variety
Castrated ones who would be most trustworthy sex-partners

And of course innumerable wives through temporary marriage (Misyar

and Mutah)

Next time, anyone brags about the Golden Islamic rule, also ask him to
brag about the homosexual, rape, and pedophilia exploits of the pervert
Sultans.

Disclaimer: By Quran and Hadiths, we do not refer to their original

meanings. We refer to interpretations made by fanatics and terrorists to
justify their kill and rape. We respect the original Quran, Hadiths and
their creators. Our fight is against those who misinterpret them. For
example, Mughals, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and every other person who justifies
sex-slavery, rape of daughter-in-law and other heinous acts.

The Flaming Gay Caliphs Of The Quran

Posted on November 9, 2013 by ADMIN11 Comments

So why are they always persecuting gays? Mohammed himself had

gay relations. His senior companions had gay relations. The most
gay-hostile societies in the world suffer from closet homosexuality
and brutal denial. The brutal punishment for gays in the Quran,
while Mohammed could frolick as he wish, just shows you how
deeply conceited muslims truly are.
Arabic poetry to glorify homosexuality, penned down by their
famous poet Abu Nuwas:
O the joy of sodomy!
So now be sodomites, you Arabs.
Turn not away from it
therein is wondrous pleasure.
Take some coy lad with kiss-curls
twisting on his temple
and ride as he stands like some gazelle
standing to her mate.
A lad whom all can see girt with sword
and belt not like your whore who has
 88

to go veiled.
Make for smooth-faced boys and do your
very best to mount them, for women are
the mounts of the devils
.
Theres some pretty amusing and outrageous stories in the Quran
that would make the present day smutt seem tame in comparison.
How about the story of Omar Ibn Al-Khattabs condition and his
close companionship with Abu Bakr a senior companion and the
father-in-law of prophet Muhammad? Abu Bakrs daughter was
Aisha, the little six-year old incest victim that was married off to
paedophile Muhammad. [Muhammad also used to asked Ali, his
beloved nephew and Sahabih, to sleep in his bed at night].
Abu Bakr developed a particular fondness for camels when he was
young [hm]. In his early years he played with the camel foals and
goats, and his love for camels earned him the nickname Abu Bakr,
the father of the foal of the camel.
Omar Ibn Al-Khattab more plainly known as Umar was one of the
most influential Muslim Caliphs in history. But he was not keen to be
a Calip or to war with the people in Medina and invade others,
although he eventually engaged in these brutal acts and repeated
murders. He succeeded Caliph Abu Bakr (632634) as the second
Caliph of Rashidun Caliphate on 23 August 634, on the request by
Abu Bakr himself. Abu Bakr was only a Caliph for two years until he
died of an unknown disease [hm].
Umars Childhood
Umar was born in Mecca to the Banu Adi clan, which was
responsible for arbitration among the tribes. His father was Khattab
ibn Nufayl and his mother was Hantama bint Hisham, from the tribe
of Banu Makhzum. He is said to have belonged to a middle-class
family. In his youth he used to tend to his fathers camels in the
plains near Mecca. His father was famed for his intelligence among
his tribe. He was a High-class merchant and is believed to be a
ruthless man and emotional polytheist who often treated Umar
 89

badly. As obvious from Umars own statement regarding his father

during his later political rule, Umar said, My father Al-Khattab was
a ruthless man. He used to make me work hard; if I didnt work he
used to beat me and he used to work me to exhaustion.

Despite literacy being uncommon in pre-Islamic Arabia, Umar

learned to read and write in his youth. Though not a poet himself, he
developed a love for poetry and literature. According to the tradition
of Quraish, while still in his teenage years, Umar learned martial
arts, horse riding and wrestling. He was tall, physically powerful and
was soon to became a renowned wrestler. Umar was also a gifted
orator, and succeeded his father as an arbitrator of conflicts among
the tribes.
He became a merchant and made several journeys to Rome and
Persia, where he is said to have met the various scholars and
analyzed the Roman and Persian societies closely. However, as a
merchant he is believed to have never been successful. Drinking
alcohol was very common among the Quraish, and Umar was also
fond of drinking in his pre-Islamic days .
 90

Abu Bakr developed a particular fondness for camels when he was

young [hm]
Umar is Hostile to Islam
In 610 Muhammad started delivering the message of Islam. Umar,
alongside others in Mecca, opposed Islam and threatened to kill
Muhammad. He resolved to defend the traditional, polytheistic religion
of Arabia. He was most adamant and cruel in opposing Muhammad and
very prominent in persecuting the Muslims. Umar was the first man who
resolved that Muhammad had to be murdered in order to finish Islam.
Umar firmly believed in the unity of the Quraish and saw the new faith
of Islam as a cause of division and discord among the Quraish.
Umar Planned to Assassinate pedo-Prophet Mohamed
Due to constant conflicts with the Quraish (no wonder, considering the
prophet of Islam was a terroriser), Muhammad ordered his followers to
migrate to Abyssinia. As a small group of Muslims migrated Umar felt
worried about the future unity of the Quraish and decided to have
Muhammad assassinated.
 91

Umar converted to Islam in 616, one year after the Migration to

Abyssinia. The story was recounted in Ibn Ishaqs Srah: On his way to
murder Muhammad, Umar met his best friend Nuaim who had secretly
converted to Islam but had not told Umar. When Umar informed him
that he had set out to kill Muhammad, Nuaim feared the worst. Umar
was a man of his word and would attempt to do what he said. So in order
to divert his attention, Nuaim told him to inquire about his own house
where his sister and her husband had converted to Islam. This is where
the Ibn Ishaqs Srah story adopts a different tone (common in the
Quran due to all the abbrigations) and gives a childish and syrupy story
behind Umars conversion. It says that on hearing the Quran for the
first time, after being angry and outraged that his sister had converted
and even hitting her for it, Umar immediately decided to convert. Most
likely the real story was something different.
When Muhammad arrived in Medina (through violence and terror and
often arriving at night when people were sleeping, killing anyone who
stood in his way), he paired off each immigrant (Muhajir) with one of
the residents of the city (Ansari), joining Muhammad ibn Maslamah
with Umar making them brothers in faith. And that is probably why
Umar had to convert.
During his own reign, Umar would mostly adopt the policy of avoiding
wars and consolidating his power in the incorporated lands rather than
expanding his empire through continuous warfare.
Umar and His Gay Lover Abu Bakr?
Umar was not a very popular figure among the notables of Madinah and
members of Majlis al Shura, accordingly succession of Umar was
initially discouraged by high-ranking companions of Abu Bakr. Why?
Because they knew he was gay? One of Abu Bakrs early titles,
preceding his conversion to Islam, was atiqe, the saved one.
Muhammad later reaffirmed this title when he said that Abu Bakr is the
atiqe (the one saved from hell fire by God). Saved from what? Saved
from hellfire for what reason? Saved because he was likely gay. Abu
Bakr behaved like the quintessential closet gay, who condemns other
gays. Bakr was responsible for numerous murders of gays. Closet
 92

homosexuals have been known to be ruthlessly condemning of other

gays.
Nevertheless, Abu Bakr decided to make Umar his successor. Umar, still
was well known for his extraordinary will power, intelligence, political
astuteness, impartiality, justice and care for poor and underprivileged
people. Abu Bakr is reported to have said to the high-ranking advisers:
His (Umars) strictness was there because of my softness when the
weight of Caliphate will be over his shoulders he will remain no longer
strict. If I will be asked by the God to whom I have appointed my
successor, I will tell him that I have appointed the best man among your
men.
Now, why was Umar spending all his time with Abu Bakr, and was his
24/367 companion and right hand man? Abu Bakr gave him the mantle
to become the next Caliph when he wasnt really keen on the role? If
Umar suffered from a diseases resulting from anal sex surely its not
too far fetched to see a likelihood that Abu Bakr and Umar were
potentially and actually gay lovers? A straight man tend not to want to
spend time with a gay man, but here we had a powerful leader, Abu Bakr
who spent all his time with Umar, and assigns important roles to him,
and even left his entire legacy to him. So there was considerable
closeness between them.
But the plot thickens even more. Butt worms. Butt worms that hunger
for even more anal sex for cure. Only in the Quran folks, only in the
Quran!
Umars Mysterious Anal Disease
Only Curable by More and More Semen
However, the Quran clearly indicate that Umar was a frequent bottom
during his heyday. What is a bottom? In Saudi Arabia a bottom is a
gay man who takes it in the backdoor. If you are a top according to
Saudi reasoning, you are not gay. Only a bottom can be gay. Therefore
there is massive demand for bottoms in Saudi Arabia; an awkward
position with a huge shortfall.
If the Quran is accurate like muslims insist, then the Quran proves that
one of Islams greatest Caliph was gay. Consequently Umar Ibn Al-
 93

Khattab developed an anal disease. Which could only be cured by

semen. lots of semen. Lots of anal sex in other words [Hm].
Get the drift? The unusually close friendship between Abu Bakr and
Umar, and the constant being together and inseparable until Abu Bakr
dies, and documented claims that Umar had an anal disease while Abu
Bakr died of an undisclosed disease
Need we say more?
__________
London-based Kuwaiti Shiite cleric Yasser Habib apparently speaks
from his own life experience: homosexual anal sex causes a worm to
grow inside the anus which can only be cured by more and more
penetration and semen, more gay anal sex. [hm so why does he say it
like its a bad thing then? Isnt curing diseases a good thing?]
.
London-Based Shiite Cleric Yasser Al-Habib in Anti-Sunni Rhetoric:
The Caliph Omar Had an Anal Disease that Made Him Addicted to
Homosexuality
Following are excerpts from an address by London-based Kuwaiti Shiite
cleric Yasser Habib, which aired on Fadak TV on May 24, 2012. Fadak
TV is dominated by Sheik Habib, who fled Kuwait in 2004 following a
one-year prison term for cursing the Caliphs Omar and Abu Bakr and
Prophet Muhammads wife Aisha. He was then sentenced in absentia for
10 years in prison. In September 2010, Kuwait revoked his citizenship.
.
Yasser Habib: Anyone who consents to being called Emir of the
Believers is a passive homosexual. Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, for example,
who willingly assumed this title, was, without a doubt, a passive
homosexual. The same goes for the caliphs Othman Ibn Affan,
Muawiyya, Yazid, and the rulers and sultans of the Umayyad and
Abbasid dynasties, as well as some of the rulers and sultans of our day
and age. For example, the king of Morocco bears this title, and he is
referred to as the Emir of the Believers by the [Moroccan] media. This
is how you know that he is a passive homosexual.
 94

.
This is in addition to the evidence revealed by Western media, which
showed that the current king of Morocco is indeed a passive homosexual
who belongs to the homosexual community. This was leaked from his
palace by his assistants, his servants, and his boys, whom he would
penetrate and who would penetrate him. They fled to Europe, sought
asylum, and exposed all this.
.
Another such example is the person who ruled Afghanistan for a short
time the so-called Mullah Omar.
[]
It is told [in the hadith] that Omar Ibn Al-Khattab had an anal disease,
which could be cured only by semen. One should know that this is a
well-known medical condition, which is also mentioned in sacred texts.
Someone who, God forbid, has been penetrated in the anus a worm
grows within him, due to the semen discharged in him A disease
develops in his anus, and as a result, he cannot calm down, unless
Thats right, it becomes like an addiction, and he cannot calm down
unless he is penetrated again and again.
[]
The Shiites are undoubtedly protected from this disease, and from
committing this abominable and hideous act.
[]
As for the Nasibis [who hate the Prophet Muhammads family], they are
definitely afflicted with this homosexuality.
[]
One of the devils is present at the birth of every human being. If Allah
knows that the newborn is one of our Shiites, He fends off that devil,
who cannot harm the newborn. But if the newborn is not one of our
Shiites, the devil inserts his index finger into the anus of the newborn,
who thus becomes a passive homosexual. If the newborn is not a Shiite,
the devil inserts his index finger into this newborns anus, and when he
grows up, he becomes a passive homosexual. If the newborn is a female,
the devil inserts his index finger into her vagina, and she becomes a
whore.
 95

.
At that moment, the newborn cries loudly, as he comes out of his
mothers womb. Note that some children cry normally at birth, while
others cry loudly and incessantly. You should know that this is the work
of that devil, according to this narration.

Historians Reveal Shocking Facts About Muslim Ruler Mahmud Of
Ghazni
One of the most celebrated Muslim rulers is Mahmud of Ghazni, the
man who is famous for leading a series of military expeditions in the
sub-continent while waving the flag of Islam, annexing one state at a
time. While Muslims of the sub-continent have spread stories in his
name for centuries, other historians and researchers have not been that
kind, basing their theories and views around (what are according to
them) facts.

Mahmud and Ayaz

[Disclaimer: this piece is not to hurt sentiments of Mahmud of Ghaznis

followers or people who treat him as their hero, this is NOT an
opinionated piece this piece is full of excerpts from different authors
and historians from research that has been made available]

MAHMUD OF GHAZNI MURDERED THOUSANDS IN THE NAME

OF ISLAM
Famous historian Al-Bernui writes: Mahmud utterly ruined the
prosperity of the country, and performed there wonderful exploits, by
which the Hindus became like atoms of dust. This is the reason, too, why
Hindu sciences have retired far away from those parts of the country
conquered by us.

MAHMUD OF GHAZNI THE SLAVE OF HIS SLAVE, AYAZ!

Mahmud and Ayaz 2

According to historian and author James Neill: The love between the
first Islamic Ruler in the Indian sub-continent, Sultan Mahmud of
Ghazni and his slave Malik Ayaz was such that it became an Islamic
legend.

Malik Ayaz, son of Aymaq Abun-Najm, was a Georgian slave who found
himself the rank of officer and general in the army of Sultan Mahmud of
Ghazni. Malik Ayazs relationship with Mahmud inspired many cultural
ballads, poems, and stories. Mahmud of Ghaznis love for his slave Ayaz
has been penned down by many in history. It is said that the two both
slaves for each other. Mahmud later raised Ayaz to unprecedented
standards and made him the King of Lahore.

AS PER A POPULAR ISLAMIC FOLK LEGEND, THE FOLLOWING

EVENTS RECORD THE DEEP RELATIONSHIP OF MAHMUD OF
GHAZNI AND AYAZ
Mahmud to Ayaz: Who is the most powerful ruler in the world?
Ayaz replied: I am the most powerful
Mahmud said: Why you and why not me?
Ayaz replied: You, Mahmud, are the most powerful of all kings, But
since I rule your heart, I am more powerful still.

As per another incident mentioned in Bustan by great Persian poet

Sadi:
Someone said: Ayaz, his favorite slave possesses no beauty. It is strange
that a nightingale should love a rose that has neither color nor perfume.
 97

Mahmud of Ghazni replied: My love, O sir, is for virtue, not for form
or stature.

THE FOLLOWING IS AS PER NOTED MYTH-BUSTER AND

HISTORY RESEARCHER, CAPTAIN AJIT VADKAYIL:
Let me lay the bottom-line right on top. Mahmud of Ghazni did NOT
get any wealth in Somnath temple. In sheer frustration, he kidnapped the
most attractive of the nearly 400 dancing girls . Mahmud was a
homosexual ( the receiving type ) and he had NO use for these girls. It
was for proof.

Ek hi saff mein kharay hogaye Mahmud o Ayaz,

Na koi banda raha na koi banda nawaz!

This particular shayr now portrays more meaning than ever.

However, it is not obligatory that all these historians and their research
are correct. If you want, you can still get rid of these theories and believe
that Mahmud of Ghazni was a pious, Muslim ruler nobody can take
that away from you, not even history!

and age. For example, the king of Morocco bears this title, and he is
referred to as the Emir of the Believers by the [Moroccan] media. This
is how you know that he is a passive homosexual.
.
This is in addition to the evidence revealed by Western media, which
showed that the current king of Morocco is indeed a passive homosexual
who belongs to the homosexual community. This was leaked from his
palace by his assistants, his servants, and his boys, whom he would
penetrate and who would penetrate him. They fled to Europe, sought
asylum, and exposed all this.
.
Another such example is the person who ruled Afghanistan for a short
time the so-called Mullah Omar.

It is told [in the hadith] that Omar Ibn Al-Khattab had an anal disease,
which could be cured only by semen. One should know that this is a
well-known medical condition, which is also mentioned in sacred texts.
Someone who, God forbid, has been penetrated in the anus a worm
grows within him, due to the semen discharged in him A disease
develops in his anus, and as a result, he cannot calm down, unless
Thats right, it becomes like an addiction, and he cannot calm down
unless he is penetrated again and again.

The Shiites are undoubtedly protected from this disease, and from
committing this abominable and hideous act.
[]
As for the Nasibis [who hate the Prophet Muhammads family], they are
definitely afflicted with this homosexuality.

One of the devils is present at the birth of every human being. If Allah
knows that the newborn is one of our Shiites, He fends off that devil,
who cannot harm the newborn. But if the newborn is not one of our
Shiites, the devil inserts his index finger into the anus of the newborn,
who thus becomes a passive homosexual. If the newborn is not a Shiite,
the devil inserts his index finger into this newborns anus, and when he
grows up, he becomes a passive homosexual. If the newborn is a female,
the devil inserts his index finger into her vagina, and she becomes a
whore.
.
At that moment, the newborn cries loudly, as he comes out of his
mothers womb. Note that some children cry normally at birth, while
others cry loudly and incessantly. You should know that this is the work
of that devil, according to this narration.

Dedicated to the newest gay bakry caliph -- Abu Bakr Al-Louti ibn Zina
Muharem of the Bakry State of Iraq and the Levant.
Umar (la) had an anal disease that could only be caused by semen (and
cured by more semen).
The medicine that is needed to treat anal diseases caused by homosexual
acts was used extensively by the second khalifa (Umar ibn al-Khattab);
this medicine is prepared by grinding certain chemicals, including more
male semen, and then preparing a solution in either vinegar or wine and
is then inserted into the anus of the patient.

On the Authority of Ibn Abbas, he said that "the eunuchs are the progeny
of Jinis." Ibn Abbas was asked "how is this?" he said "Allah and his
Messenger (PBUH&HP) have forbidden to approach a woman in her
period, when a person does this Shaytan takes headway to her so she
gets pregnant of an eunuch!"
Ibn Hajar Almatalib Alaliyah Book of menstrual period hadith Number
226:
Umar approached his slave girl, but she said 'I am in menstrual period',
then umar did sexual intercourse with her.
Imam Saddiqh (AS): Nobody is called 'Amir Al-Momineen' (other than
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [AS]) except that he was penetrated (gay).
