We haven’t forgotten the infamy of Quint’s recent review, supposedly of the movie on Prithviraj Chauhan, and covertly of our medieval history.
There is yet another history hit job from the eminences, or their minions? This time published in the Wire.

Given below are some pearls of wisdom from the article that we must contemplate upon.

Wrong, forget about Tod and the British. Prithviraj was a popular figure outside medieval Rajasthan even before Mughals arrived. The Hammir Mahakavya of Nayachandra Suri was written by the inspiration of a challenge laid out in the Gwalior court of a Tomara ruler from central India.
The author is also contradicting herself. She first says that Prithviraj was popularized as a Rajput and national hero only by the British (already falsified by Hammir Mahakavya).
And then later also says that Prithviraj is portrayed as a villain (thus popular) in a central Indian regional epic of Alha-Udal.

So Prithviraj is glorified in Hammir Mahakavya of central India at the junction of 14th-15th century. He is again amply portrayed in the 16th century Raso, Ferishta and 17th century Alha Udal epic.
Yet according to her Prithviraj is popularized as a Rajput hero and then national hero, only by the British and subsequent modern political currents.
Yeah, whatever you say your excellency!

She is again wrong in saying that Alha Udal was famous among non-Rajputs of Rajasthan. The epic belongs to Bundelkhand and till 19th century it was famous in central India, not Rajasthan. Is this not an attempt at polarising the people between “oppressive” Rajputs and non-Rajput peasantry? When facts are that on both sides in the story’s Mahoba campaign it was Rajputs fighting. The same “polarization” they keep screaming about day & night.

Moving on …

Ghori’s message to Prithviraj Chauhan as per Taj-ul-Maasir and Ferishta was:
“to place in his ear the ring of slavery to the sublime court, and embrace the faith of Islam by repeating the precepts of the law”.
This message, according to these very texts, was rebuked and rejected by the Rajput King.

When the foreigner was indeed a muslim and appeared here declaring themselves as such according to their own histories, what else do you want to call them. Martian?

When they challenged us to either accept Islam and subordination, or die.

When our Kings refused to bow before Islam and its propagating ruler.

When the contemporary histories like PrithvirajVijaya and the ones that follow- HammirMahakavya, Kanhad De Prabandha, etc profile the foreigners as cow killers and muslims (we’ve already seen examples while debunking another such hit job – https://twitter.com/virendrarathore/status/1534454281058693120).

You still say it wasn’t Hindu versus Muslim? Seriously, what are these people smoking!

Oh poor Ghori has been villified and othered. Tch Tch Tch !!
May be we should scold the travelling Jain head monk Jinapati Suri ji who suffered in Ajmer for months because muslims of Ghori were still innocently ravaging the city in 1194 AD, full two years after the battle of Tarain-II. Not good Suri ji, you’re being Nupur like.

Or may be we should reprimand those fanatic Jain monks who (according to near contemporary KanyaNayaniya Mahavir Pratima Kalpa) were trying to hide their God’s idols in desert sand because Prithviraj had been killed and Ghori was in control of the kingdom. How paranoid and silly of them indeed. After all Ghori’s mlechhas were only on tourist visa or at best a political mission.

Reason why these hit jobs are ridiculous and infuriating is that in the name of trying to criticize a Bollywood movie (who cares about it anyway). They are defacing the history of this country and its people. Despicable and cheap to say the least. But then what to expect from people who per their own admission have only a transactional affinity with their last name and its history.
