wow guys now Jaichand doesn't seem like a villan at all now 😉 😆
well according to some where i found this source Tomars or Tanwars are Chandravanshi Rajputs, and descended from Mahabharat's great hero Arjun through his son Abhimanyu and grandson Prikshit. King Yudhishtra founded Indraprashth, modern Delhi, but he later abdicated in favour of Prikshit. King Anangpal-I Tomar in A.D. 736 conquered and re-established 'Dhillika', moden Delhi. Tomar rule at Delhi lasted until 1182 A.D. when King Anangpal-II Tomar appointed Prithviraj Chauhan, his daughter's son and King of Ajmer at that time, as 'caretaker'.
According to records kept by ' Jagas' of Tomars, King Anangpal made Prithviraj only as caretaker when he went on a religious pilgrimage, but when king Anangpal returned back,
Prithviraj refused to hand over the kingdom. It should be mentioned that 'Jagas' are a caste in Rajasthan who are hereditary keepers of genealogical records of Kings, and the present 'Jagas' of Tomar/ Tanwar Rajputs reside near Jaipur, Rajasthan.
According to some records, Anangpal Tomar is described to be in power in Delhi in 1192 CE, as some historians believe that Prithviraj Chauhan was mostly a caretaker king as long as Anangpal Tomar II, his grandfather(Maternal) was alive and ruling. The fact that Prithviraj's coronation to crown never happened makes this confusion even more apparent.
Following King Anangpal giving the throne of Delhi to his grandson Prithviraj Chauhan, or more accurately Prithviraj usurping the throne of Delhi, a branch of the Tomar clan established themselves in the area of modern Gwalior in northern Madhya Pradesh. One of the greatest Tomar kings Man Singh built the fortress citadel which still stands there. A debatable topic is that Tomars did not lose any battle, Anangpal II made Prithviraj Chauhan (the son of Karpuri Devi, the daughter of king Anangpal II), his grandson the heir apparent to the throne since he was probably the most efficient warrior and leader of his time. It is said that Anangpal II's younger brothers then left Delhi and moved to Gwalior, Rajasthan, Haryana and other areas of northern India in disbelief and anger.
Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated by Muhammad Ghori in A.D. 1192. The Mughal emperor Akbar captured Gwalior in 1559.
so if this is true basically i guess this whole love story drama is all hyped up. It seems more that Prithvi Raj Chauhan was a very ambitious person. i don't think he can fall in love. uff i don't know just my opinion. Can't find out the truth its just too blur now. Some historian say something and others something else. what is the truth who knows????
I think theses sagars r just showing us the good stuff about Prithvi. good version only. PRC would have been a very stubborn and arrogant person too. like jaichand. who knows the real PRC😉
