Prithviraj Chauhan's Grave has bring back to India By Legendary Hero Sher Singh Rana.
Mahmud Ghazni (Mahniud Ghaznvi) came and attacked India about seventeen
times between 1001-1026 A.D. Mahmud Ghazni ruled from Ghazni, a city in
Afghanistan. Rajput King Prithvi Raj Chauhan, who forgave him all the
time, ultimately himself was defeated and was captured by Ghazni. He
made Prithvi Raj blind and he was ultimately killed. His ashes were kept
in Afghanistan.
Sher Singh Rana, the prime accused in the
Phoolan Devi murder case, escaped from the jail two years earlier. He
had a national mission in his mind, he wanted to bring the ashes of
Rajput King Prithvi Raj Chauhan back to India whose ashes were buried in
Afghanistan.
Rana said he brought relics and sand from the
king's grave in Ghazni and also had a memorial built in Etawah in UP.
(Police in Kanpur said all that exists in the name of a memorial was a
foundation stone for a temple.)
Rana told the police that got a
fake passport from Ranchi and flew to Afghanistan on a student visa in
early 2005 -- about 10 months after his escape from Tihar. A former
D-company member Subhash Thakur, whom he had first met in Tihar jail,
financed his trip. This was despite the fact that a lookout notice had
been issued against him.
During his three-month stay in that
country, Rana went searching for the king's "grave" -- he admitted to
his interrogators he had little idea about the location. Only, he had
heard that people disrespected the king's "resting place" and "that
hurt" him the most.
After touring Kandahar, Kabul and Herat, he
finally reached Ghazni. On the outskirts of Ghazni, at a small village
called Deak, he claimed to have found the tomb of Muhammed Ghori. A few
metres away lay Prithviraj Chauhan's tomb.
Rana said he
convinced the locals that he had come from Pakistan to restore Ghori's
tomb. On the sly, he dug Chauhan's "grave" and collected sand from it.
He even got his "achievement" recorded on video.
In April 2005,
he was back in India. He sent the 'ashes' through courier to Etawah and
organised a function there with the help of local politicians. Rana's
mother, Satwati Devi, was the chief guest.
On Tuesday, his
mother hailed his son as the "pride of the country". "My son has only
served this country. He brought the remains of Prithviraj Chauhan to
India," she said.
The whole India should feel proud of him.
