Answer:
One of the toughest women in the history of India, Naiki Devi's unflagging courage and indomitable spirit are at par with the legendary Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi, Rani Tarabai of the Marathas and Rani Chennamma of Kittur. Yet, little is written about her or her incredible story in the history books
Answer:
The year was 1173 and the young Ghurid prince, Muhammad Shahabuddin Ghori (his royal title was Mu’izzuddin), had just conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. An ambitious ruler, he did something which Alexander’s troops, the Persians, the Arabs and even Mahmud of Ghazni could not — conduct successful raids deep into the heart of Indian territory.
Muhammad Ghori’s first invasions were on the states of Multan and the fortress of Uch. After capturing Multan and Uch, he turned southwards towards the southern Rajputana and Gujarat. His target? The prosperous fortified town of Anhilwara Patan.
Established by Vanraj of the Chapotkata dynasty in the 8th century, Anhilwara Patan was capital of the Chalukya (also known as the Solankis) who supplanted the Chapotkatas. According to American historian Tertius Chandler, the ancient citadel was the tenth-largest city in the world in the year 1000, with a population of approximately 100,000.
When Ghori attacked Anhilwara, it was under the rule of Mularaja-II who had ascended the throne as a boy after the demise of his father Ajayapala.
However, it was actually his mother, Naiki Devi, who took over the reins of the kingdom as queen regent.
