RANA HAMMIR SINGH SISODIYA
He was a great Rajput Yoddha who was very brave and clever. Not only did he protect the honor of Mewar and its capital Chittor, but he was also the first warrior who ended the Turkish Sultanate while ruling in Delhi.
Today's selfish intellectuals, who claim themselves to be enlightened historians of India, never mentioned in Indian history the work, successes, and honors done by this great warrior. The reason for this is that he manipulated some of the golden pages of Indian history in order to give utmost importance to his personal selfishness and his malicious agenda, as a result of which our history today is on the verge of perishing. The great warrior whom these intellectuals tried to destroy from the pages of history, together with two other eminent powers of the southern region of India, played an important role in the fall of the Turkish Sultanate, which the Turkish Sultanate aimed at India Was included in the Turkish Sultanate and brought Indians under Islam
Hammir Singh Sisodia was born in 1303, the same year when Alauddin Khilji invaded Chittor and captured it. As we know, the Rajputs were mostly defensive and Islamic invader invaders. But Hammir Singh Sisodia was made of different soil.
Rawal Ratan Singh, also known as Ratnasimh, was the last ruler of the famous Gehlot dynasty of Rajputs, As stated in history, Rawal was a distant relative of Ratan Singh, a commander of the cadet army, a junior commissioned officer in modern military terms. His name was Lakshmana or Laksha Singh, who had seven sons and was also a descendant of the famous warrior
Bappa Rawal, the same Bappa Rawal who defeated the Islamic rulers in 612 AD, along with external invasions of the Indian subcontinent for three centuries. Kept saved.
Laksha Singh was from the village of Sisoda, hence his successors kept his surname Sisodia. His elder son was named Ari, who married Urmila, a woman from a nearby village of Unnao, who belonged to a poor clan of the Chandan Rajputs. He had only one son, who was probably born between 1303 and 1313 [the exact birth year is still disputed]. His son was named Hammir, who soon changed the map of the entire country.
A few months after the couple received their blessings as a son, Laksha and his son were summoned to fight the final battle against the mob of rioters who invaded Chittor under the leadership of dictator Sultan Allauddin Khilji. Laxman Singh and his seven sons, led by Rawal Ratan Singh, fought valiantly till the end and, one by one, were martyred, protecting their homeland from the hands of evil invaders. Seeing the defeat near, thousands of Rajput women led by Queen Padmini jumped into the fire and committed mass self-immolation. This incident later became famous as the first Jauhar of Chittor in which thousands of Rajput women defended their honor, not falling into the hands of Sultan Khilji and his Havashi slayer.
It is not properly described in the documents but it can be inferred from other sources and popular folklore in Mewar that Urmila was one of the women who did the Jauhar. This Jauhar orphaned Hammir, although it was later revealed that Ajay Singh, the younger brother of Ari and the second of the seven brothers, survived the battle with serious injuries. For the next few years, young Hammir was found under the leadership of Ajay Singh and his hard work soon paid off.
At the same time, ever since Alauddin Khilji had conquered Chittor, Mewar had been at the mercy of rioters and invaders. Outlaws looted homes at will, robbers attacked temples and other important places at will and broke holy idols, and subjugated true Sanatanis. Anarchy had spread throughout the state of Mewar. There was an urgent need for a defender who could inspire them to go ahead and fight to bring back the lost glory of the once great kingdom. In the midst of this chaos, Munja Balecha, the infamous dacoit king of Kantalia stepped in.
Munja Sultan Khilji was despised, who used to terrorize the people of Mewar for his happiness. At the age of just ten, when he found that Munja was spreading his kingdom of terror by terrorizing the people of Dukhiya, Hammir attacked him from the front and killed him with his sharp and skillful bow skill. This was the time when Ajay Singh first identified Hammir and found out about his lineage.
Taking Hammir under his protection, Ajay Singh, who was well versed with the ancient armaments, strategically placed Hammir in a small but well-fortified secluded place between the streets of Chittor and Delhi, along with martial arts. Taught many other subjects. Unlike other Rajput kings, who did not think a second time to confront the enemy face to face, they considered what it was that did not allow us to teach a lesson to the Islamic sultans. Ajay taught Hammir that every war cannot be won only by strength, but some wars are won with the correct use of intelligence.
A short quiz for the readers: -
Who reintroduced the widow remarriage practice in India? An answer will come immediately: - Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar. But forgive me if you think so because you are wrong. The widow remarriage practice was reintroduced in Chittor in the 16th century under the patronage of Rana Hammir. None of the left-liberals would agree with this. However, no one can deny the fact that Rana Hammir had re-introduced the widow remarriage practice as he was ensuring for himself the post of becoming Rana of Mewar in the future. There is a very funny and short story behind it.
After the fall of Chittor, Alauddin Khilji appointed Raja Maldev, the ruler of Jalore, as the hero of Chittor, with the forts occupied and the territories conquered in Rajputana. Maldev, who wished to rule Chittor like a master, found Hammir as an emerging obstacle in his path. To subdue Hammir, he decided to use his own daughter, a widowed princess named Songri, as a pawn to marry Hammir.
In those days, marrying a widow was considered the worst form of dishonesty among Rajputs. However, Hammir not only accepted a young widow as his wife, but also planned a coup against King Maldev, and used his own tactics to claim his lost homeland Chittor. did. It is difficult to believe, but if one discusses this in-depth, this fact also supports another fact that the Sati practice was not a bad practice imposed by upper caste Hindus. It was an act of his own volition, although it was also misused in the early 19th century. If Sati and Jauhar were a compulsion, how did Hammir accept a widow who was the mother of a child as his wife?
In a way, it was Sisodia Rajput Rana Hammir, not Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, who initiated the process of widow remarriage.
In 1326, at the young age of 22–23, Hammir Singh Sisodia along with his wife Songri ascended the throne of Mewar and proclaimed himself as the first Maharana Hammir of Mewar. Although Hammir's uncle Ajay could not live to see that day, he certainly felt proud that his disciples were following his teachings so well.
But this was not the end. Years of learning ancient scriptures and training in innovative warfare also led to unexpected results. Since Hammir was now the ruler of Mewar, he refused to accept the suzerainty of the Sultan of Delhi, Mohammed bin Tughlaq. Muhammad bin Tughluq was an exact replica of Sultan Allauddin Khilji, who killed his own father Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq and ascended the throne of Delhi. The only difference between Muhammad bin Tughluq and Sultan Khilji was that Tughlaq was by nature a patient of patience. Yes, Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq was very impatient, this impatience led to his downfall, and later he was defeated at the hands of Rana Hammir.
There is not much information available about the battle between Hammir and Sultan Tughlaq. However, history says that King Maldeo escaped from prison and became a refugee, and sought help from Muhammad bin Tughluq. The Sultan was already infuriated by the disobedience of Hammir, he took advantage of this opportunity from both sides.
While it is uncertain in which year Hammir pushed Mohammed bin Tughlaq into oblivion, it is certain that the battle took place between 1333 and 1334. This is where the difference between Alauddin Khilji and Tughlaq lies, while Khilji was shrewd, barbaric, and shameless and thought well before taking the last step, his later rulers were ruthless and ambitious but fought for peace and wisdom. Did not have the skills. To become the ruler of the world, Tughlaq decided to invade China through the Himalayas. China was far away, Katoch tasted it in India, where Tughlaq Katoch was defeated by the army, which is present-day Himachal Pradesh.
The war between Mewar and Delhi's armies was the ultimate test of Rana Hammir's dominance, whether it was inside the ground or outside the ground. Hammir was quite skilled in guerrilla warfare. Though his army was quite small, he was adept at souring the teeth of enemies due to the guerrilla warfare of guerrilla warfare, heroes like Prithviraj Chauhan or Rawal Ratan Singh never cared to know this skill.
Rana Hammir did not fear death, but he knew that if he wanted to regain the prestige of both Mewar and Rajputana, he needed to kill the enemy and win.
From the local proverbs, we came to know that Rana Hammir, with only one part of his army, made a sudden attack on the enemy camp in the middle of the night. The enemies were suddenly cut off like carrots. No one knows about King Maldev, but it can be inferred that the treacherous King Maldev of Jalore had suffered death at the hands of the Mewar army. Soon Rana Hameer not only won the war but made the impossible possible and he took the Sultan of Delhi, Mohammed bin Tughlaq as his prisoner.
Yes, the Rajput king, aged only 30-32, had managed to avenge the humiliation of the Sultan of Delhi by humiliating his Chittor.
The Sultan was held hostage and released only when he consented in writing to the independence of the entire region of Rajputana, including Mewar. Although he survived, Muhammad bin Tughluq suffered such a shock that he could not dare to attack Mewar again. Although Hammir relinquished the throne of Mewar in 1364, his Rajput days in Rajputana inspired his glory days for hundreds of years to come.
