See what I found out in the net!! Jaichand is not a Chauhan ...he is a Gahadwala!!
The founder of the Gahadwala line was Govindchandra Gahadwala. He was an astute ruler and ruled from Kannauj. Most of North India, including the university town of Nalanda was a part of his kingdom. He stoutly defended his kingdom from further Muslims incursions. He instituted a tax for this purpose, which was called Turushka Danda (i.e. tax to fight the Turushkas or Turks). His grandson was Jaichandra Gahadwala (Rathod) who played a tragic role in Indian History.
I think Jaichand once refered to himself as Jaichand Chauhan!! I am not sure though!!....
And 2 more facts I found out!!!
Prithviraj Chauhan's real name was Rai Pithora!! 😕
PRC is an actually better name!!
Chauhan is the corrupt form of Chahaman!!! 😕
And the most important thing....his age....
This article says that Prithvi was born in 1162 and died in 1192....which makes Prithvi 30 years old when he died......
Prithviraj Chauhan: | (1162-1192 A.D.) Ruler of Delhi at a crucial juncture of India's history. Known for his bravery, chivalry and kindness, he has been immortalised in Prithvirajaraso, an epic poem composed by one of his associates Chand Bardai. |
