I love him he is very cute but I have really reseached about the history of
the king what do you think what happened in history
did prithvi kill mohammed ghori or mohammed ghori killed prithvi
according to most hindi historians:
Captivity, revenge and death
As a prisoner in Ghor, Prithviraj was brought in chains before Muhammad
Ghori. He haughtily looked Ghori straight into the eye. Ghori ordered him
to lower his eyes, whereupon a Prithviraj scornfully reminded him of how
he had treated Ghori when the latter was a prisoner. He declared that the
eye of a Rajput are lowered only in death. On hearing this,Ghori ordered
that his eyes be burnt with red hot iron rods. The heinous deed was
committed. The blind was then brought to the presence of the barbaric
warlord to be taunted by Ghori and his courtiers.
Prithviraj's former courtier Chand Bardai, who was later to compose the
Prithviraj Raso, a ballad-biography of Pritiviraj, came to Ghori to be near
Prithviraj in his misery. Chand Bardai came in disguise and paens. On one
hand, he earned Mahmud's regard; on the other, he took every
opportunity to meet with Prithviraj and urge him to avenge Ghori's
betrayal and daily insults.[citation needed]: The two got an opportunity to
kill Muhammad Ghori when Ghori announced an archery competition.
Chand Bardai told Ghori that Prithviraj was so skilled an archer, that he
could take aim based only on sound, and did not even need to look at his
target. Ghori disdained to believe this; the courtiers guffawed and
taunted Chand Bardai, asking how a blind man could possibly shoot
arrows. In the spirit of their usual barbaric mockery, they brought the
blind and hapless Prithviraj out to the field. Pressing a bow and arrows
into his hand, they taunted him to take aim.
Chand Bardai told Ghori that this taunting would avail nothing, for
Prithviraj would never do as some sundry courtiers bade him do. He said
that Prithviraj, as an anointed king, would not accept orders from anyone
other than another king. His ego thus massaged, and in the spirit of the
occasion, Mahmud Ghori agreed to personally give Prithviraj the order to
shoot.Some iron plates were hung and Prithiviraj was asked to aim at
them.A man was to strike the plate with a hammer and Prithviraj was
supposed to hit that plate.
Thus, Chand Bardai provided Prithviraj with an aural indication of where
Ghori was seated. He gave Prithviraj one further indication of the same,
by composing a couplet on the spot and reciting the same in Prithviraj's
hearing. The couplet, composed in a language understood only by
Prithviraj went thus:
"Char bans, chaubis gaj, angul ashta praman, Ta upar sultan hai, Chuke
mat Chauhan."
(Four measures ahead of you and twenty four yards away as measured
with eight finger measurement, is seated the Sultan. Do not miss him
now, Chauhan).
Ghori then ordered Prithviraj to shoot. Prithviraj thus came to know the
location of Ghori and started shooting at the plates.When he hit the target
courtiers said "vah" "vah" and Ghori said "Shabash", recognising Ghori's
voice and turning in the direction from where he heard Ghori speak,
Prithviraj took aim based only on the voice and on Chand Bardai's
couplet, he sent an arrow racing to Ghori's throat. Ghori was thus stuck
dead by Prithviraj. Prithviraj and Chandar did not want to die from the
hands of Ghori's courtiers so they stabbed each other.
The Evident is:
Even today afghans vent their anger on Prithviraj's Grave by stabbing on it
through a rope & then pay accolades to their defeated king Ghauri. It's a
pity that the Indian Government who is engaged in the construction work
of a war ravaged country has no time to pay honour or renovate the grave
of a Valiant King.
But Muslim Historian have totally different:
they say that prithvi was killed in the second battle of tarian by
mohammed ghori and Mohammed ghori was killed in 1206 near lahore
by one of his slaves.
