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 and Delhi in northern India during the latter half of the 12th century.
Prithvi Raj Chauhan belonged to the Agnikula clan of Rajput Kshatriyas. 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 Musliminvasions. His elopement with Samyukta (Sanyogita), the daughter of Jai ChandraRathod, 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 Muslim ruler Sultan Shahabuddin Muhammad Ghauri in the First Battle of Tarain in 1191 CE. Ghauri attacked for a second time next year, and Prithvi Raj was defeated and captured at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192CE. Sultan Ghauri took Prithvi Raj to Ghazni, where he was executed. Ghauri After his defeat Delhi came under the control of Muslim rulers. Qila Rai Pithora in Delhi, also known as Pithoragarh, is named after him.
Dont believe Prithviraj raso...it is a legendary story..it give false account that prithviraj killed Ghori.It is only Prithviraj raso which tells Jaichand helped Ghori in his fight against Prithviraj but other sources not tell the same story.
ReplyDeletehow can you that mohammad ghori killed prithvi raj chauhan.....jaichand knows that her daughter was in love with prithvi raj chauhaan..and every one know that samyukta was the weakness of jaichand...and a father cannot take the revenge to kill his daughter husband...so these all are rubbish which you meant to say...being a hindu i only favour that prithvi raj chauhaan was the hero who learned mohammad ghori with 17 times defeat...
DeleteStupid man krishna raj

ReplyDeleteNear the grave of Ghouri in Afghanistanmans a buried parts of dead body of Prithviraj Chauhan nearby . People visiting to pay respect to Ghouri for his brutal wars on India especially, stomp and beat shoes on Prithvi Raj's grave too. Such hate is only due to the fact that he killed Ghouri somewhere in India , maybe as Prithviraj Raso Says. Otherwise there is no reasons for such a hate for so many centuries and still going on. It is sad fact that all major and most brutal invaders of India and today's Pakistan were Afghanis, hope govt. of India , which has good relations with Afghanistan since decades can request them to stop that stomping process. After all, It is Prithvi who was victim.
