She passed through the door and put the garland around the neck of Prithvirajs statue, declaring him her husband.Sher Singh Rana, prime accused in Phoolan Devi murder case, escaped from Tihar Jail and brought back remains of Kings grave to India.
After killing Ghori, Prithviraj and his poet friend Chand Bardai killed each other and their graves were made outside Muhammads grave. Prithviraja III (11661192 CE ), popularly known as Prithviraj Chauhan or Rai Pithora was a king from the Chahamana (Chauhan) dynasty. He ruled Sapadalaksha, the traditional Chahamana territory, in present-day north-western India. He controlled much of the present-day Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi; and some parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Both Prithviraj and his younger brother Hariraja were born in Gujarat, where their father Someshvara was brought up at the Chalukya court by his maternal relatives. According to Prithviraja Vijaya, he was born on the 12th day of the Jyeshta month. Based on these positions and assuming certain other planetary positions, the year of Prithvirajs birth was calculated as 1166 CE (1223 Vikram Samvat). The same book states that he mastered 6 languages; while Prithviraj Raso, written by his friend poet Chand Bardai claims that he learned 14 languages. He was master of history, mathematics, medicine, military, painting, philosophy (mimamsa), and theology. Both the texts state that he was particularly proficient in archery and learned the art of Sabda-Bhedi (hitting a target by concentrating on sound, while being blind-folded) during his childhood. His father died when Prithviraj was around 11 years old and he ascended throne with his mother as the regent. The biggest mistake in Indian History Indian kings have been fighting within themselves and couple of times, they let invaders attack their own country men. First was Jarasandha, who brought KalaYavan to attack Krishna in dwaraka to avenge his son-in-law Kamsas death. Second attempt was made when Alexander was helped to cross Khyber Pass, when he bribed King of Taxila with gold. Third attempt was made by Jai Chandra Rathod and that left India suffering for almost 1000 years. Jai Chandra Rathod, the Gahadvala king of Kannauj of the Gujjar ethnic group, had a beautiful daughter named Samyukta. She fell in love in Prithviraj Chauhan after hearing about his heroics. She was secretly communicating with him and this angered her father. To stop their love, Jai Chandra announced Samyuktas swayamvar and invited every eligible prince in the country, except Prithviraj. To insult Chauhan, Jai chandra installed a life size statue of Chauhan at the gate of the Swyamwar arena, dressed up as a doorman. During swayamvar, Samyukta walked through the court holding the ceremonial garland, ignoring the gazes of all her ardent suitors.
