MYTH OR FACT:

found some infor

Only in prithviraj raso it is written that Prithviraj Chauhan killed Ghori which was composed much later by chandbardai's son.where as in other texts it is very much clear that Ghouri who captured prithviraj chauhan killed him for planning a conspiracy against him......also the text and coins shows that prithviraj chauhan was forced to accept the islamic religion and that was what prithviraj did so as to show muhammad that he is obeying his order,but when ghori came to know about the fact that prithviraj chauhan is planning a conspiracy against him,he immediately ordered his courtier to stabb him........ death of prithviraj chauhan is still under a big question mark.....

So even though Prithviraj Chauhan's graves lays in Afghan it is still unclear how the king died...

Some Myths

The greatest myth lies in the stories that mention certain incidents in the local Rajasthani language stating that PrithviRaj Chauhan actually defeated Mohammad Ghori more than twice but rather six times & he generously allowed him to return back. Also after the defeat of Prithvi Raj Chauhan in the seventh battle, he was taken to Ghor, where he was blinded for not accepting the supremacy of Mohammad Ghori. Chand Bardai a poet cum friend of Prithviraj came to his rescue by devising a plan to kill the sultan of Ghor. Chand approached the Sultan of Ghor & informed him that Prithviraj was an excellent archer & could hit any target just by hearing the sound & would only accept this order by a king.This proposal was accepted by Ghori. On the said day, Ghori sitting in his royal enclosure had Prithiviraj brought to the ground and had him unchained for the event. On Ghori's ordering Prithviraj to shoot, Prithiviraj turned in the direction from where he heard Ghori speak and struck Ghori dead with his arrow. This event is described by Chand Bardai in the couplet, "Char bans, chaubis gaj, angul ashta praman, Ete pai Sultan hai (Taa Upar hai Sultan). Ab mat chuko Chauhan."(Ten measures ahead of you and twenty four feet away, is seated the Sultan, do not miss him now, Chouhan).

i don't know 😭 i have been believing tht prithvi killed ghori w/ his knowledge of 'shabd bhedi'. i want to belive only tht 😭
d new thing u brought up is really new to me. 😕 i have no knowledge of it.

Its good for historians to read because they always want diverging opinions about events in history...but for people who are out to seek the truth, the story of PRC killing Ghori is reality...and so it be, PRC killed Ghori... and no historian can deny that fact. 😡 😡

I think it is always known, history is written by the victors and not by the losers.. So for a side which won a battle by treacherous means(by going against the war rules), it is not surprising that they would try to defame a righteous and brave king who lost.
For Prithviraj Raso, there can be many points, like how does Chand Bardai's son actually knew what was said between Prithviraj and Chand while attempting to kill Ghori? Answer maybe, that he or somebody else was present at the place where Chand and Prithviraj died.
But there is one more truth which being logical contradicts logic, why do they have Prithvi's grave in Afghanistan? Also why do the locals hate Prithvi's grave to the extent that they tend to insult a dead man's grave?
A king can have thousands of traitors, why only PRC would be singled out for the abuse?? There should be something really bad in their eyes, that PRC must have done. What can be more bad than killing their own king Ghori, beside whose Prithvi's grave lie.

We can assume that somebody knowing Chand and PRC must be present when both killed Ghori. But assuming that Ghori killed Prithvi and then took all the trouble to take his body to Afghanistan and bury it there. Then Ghori himself dies and lies besides the grave of Prithvi 😕 and people abuse PRC's grave... It doesn't really make sense.. at least to me..

As i dont know much about history....So cant say anything... 😊 😊 😊

Thanks😉(it comes out of a programmer, so things are bound to be recursive and still show as if logic is made😆😆)
Chand's son may possibly not be there, but we can assume that someone else also went along with Chand and remained there throughout the phase of Prithvi and Ghori's killing.. And then the person comes back and relates the story to Chand's son.. This is all history.. when its unwritten we just make assumptions based on available facts..
Since Ghori killing PRC didnt make sense, we can assume Prithviraj raso makes sense..😊

don't knoww
history is so confusingg..still im v confused abt it!

OK now I understood many people had written the story from their own understanding. Alburuni, the court poet of Ghori wrote 1, chand 1, prc vejay by 1, James 1, I think 4 more writters r there. n tat's y there r different stories. now I think Sagar is writing another 🤢 1

why cant historians beleive the fact that prc killed ghori 😡 😡 😡 anyways i am goiung to believe that prc kicked ghori's butt off 😡 😡
