Battle of Bandanwara (1711 AD) — the last battle fought between Kingdom of Mewar and Mughal Empire ⚔️🛡️🔥 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 🔸: Maharana Amar Singh II had captured Mandalgarh, Badnore & Pur-Mandal after Aurangzeb’s death. But the Mughals had not granted any written deeds for these 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙨 (territories). After the Maharana’s death, Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah (Aurangzeb’s successor to the throne) granted the 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙖 of Pur-Mandal to Ranbaz Khan in early 1711 AD, who moved with a very large army to take control of the territory. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 🔸: Mughaliya and Mewari forces met near Khari river. Ranbaz Khan, along with his brother Nahar Khan, and all his chiefs were slain on the battlefield. Maha Singh of Kanore fell in the battle while Jai Singh of Badnore and Samant Singh of Salumbar were wounded. The Rao of Begun had sent his 𝙆𝙖𝙢𝙙𝙖𝙧 — Kothari Bhim Singh of Begun — who fought with great vehemence & vigour and fell in the battle fighting bravely. 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 🔸: The Mughals had archers on elephants & horses but the Rajput onslaught was so quick, that the Mughal archers could draw only once before the Mewar cavalry reached very near and hand-to-hand combat ensued. After a bloody combat, the battle ended in a decisive victory for Rajputs who succeeded in retaining control of this territory. Mughals fled with the remaining army to Ajmer but their camp was captured by Rajputs.

Battle of Haldighati was a stalemate at max, not a victory for the Mughals. Many reputed historians have already challenged this narrative on the basis of solid reasons. PS : I was actually planning to drop a proper thread on this topic but had to drop the idea due to low reach.

Of course you’ll find such disgusting behaviour ‘based’, that’s just how filthy a race you belong to. After-all, these are the values passed down by your rapist dasyu ancestors from generation to generation. Lol, look who’s talking — a ₹2 troll who hides behind an anon account himself, being aware that his butt will be pulverised if he made such comments in public.

On the things deccani Sultans, we have an early marathi bakhar which was composed in 1578 AD (As per Sardesai many of its portions are earlier than 16th 1550s). The highlight it gives are very juicy & interesting to note on the so-called Hindu Dharmarakshaas resistance. [ 1/2 ]

‘Lmao XD’ likh kar cope karta reh bandar

Maine literally 2 paragraphs likhe par is Rajputo ki najayaz aulad ko sirf wo 2 lines dikhi jisko lekar ise bandi-rona karna tha. Taali to tere napunsak purvaj bajate the Dakkhani Sultano ke court mei, to un par trust nahi karte the kya Sultan?

Najayaz aulad of Rajputs think ‘harem’ was composed entirely of Akbar’s wives. In reality, it lodged all females of the Mughal Emperor’s family (including his mother, aunts & sisters) and was even divided into different sections housing dancers & singers and even female guards & superintendents — the ones who actually patrolled the inner chambers. How is protecting women something to be ashamed of? Especially when Rajputs were the only men chivalrous enough for Akbar to trust around women. Being illegitimate offsprings of Rajputs themselves, Marathas suffer from a deep-rooted insecurity about their shameful origin, which ultimately leads them to take a jibe at women of other communities. But let’s not forget how even the most elite of their shoorveer ancestors were raising & grooming their own daughters solely to be the wives of Muslim kings. While Maratha men were seeking employment as low-ranking mercenary troops for Deccani Sultanates themselves.

Ek baap ki aulad hai to dikha de where were Rajputs targeting women in these interactions. Meanwhile, here’s how an average Mahatatti sees women 👇

“ The Marathas are a people whose alliance is almost as dangerous as their enmity, because they spare no one to enrich themselves: friend or foe, they treat every one alike irrespective of the person in whose service they ate, they finally ruin him. ” —French letter dated 1772.

Nah, that’s Yusuf Adil Shah — first Sultan of Bijapur — with Kheloji Ghorpade (@MamalkatMadar’s ancestor) who was given jagir, mansab & title of Raja by his Muslim master. Their love was such that Kheloji not only served the Sultan faithfully but even sacrificed his life for him.

Marathas have a habit of making a big deal out of everything, even something as common as punishing a criminal. There was even an instance of Peshwa Baji Rao being eager to punish one Malhar Pandit for troubling Maharana Jagat Singh. So what’s the point of dragging-in caste here?

My ancestors built such marvels that it’s impossible to fit them in just four images.

Abey ganwar, theek se padh. Akbar crowned himself the Emperor of Mughal Empire. Rajput nobles simply allied with him and supported his rebellion against his father (Aurangzeb) for obvious reasons. It was pure politics, not like the Rajputs had started issuing coins in his name.
