what were the reasons of prithviraj Chauhan's downfall
Answers
Answer:
There are few reasons which are taken as responsible for the defeat of PrithviRaj Chauhan in the 2nd battle of Tarain war in 1192 AD against Md. Ghori.
Battle of Mahoba Between Alha,Udal Brother and PrithviRaj Chahuan. Where Prithvi Raj Chauhan was having a strenght of 10,00,000 soldiers.Inspite of winning the fierce battle of Mahoba, he had lost more than 50% of soldiers.
During the mutually agreed elopement of Sanyogita from her Swamwar, PrithviRaj Chauhan had to fight a battle with king of Kannuj Raja Jaichand Rathod(Father of Sanyogita).PrithviRaj Chahan had selected 1100 best soldier and army chief for this elopement plan. and taken them to kannuj. While he was returned back to Delhi Kannuj army launch an attack (which was already known as per the plan) but it results in huge casualties. Although He has returned Delhi safely but it costed the life of 1100 best soldiers of his army.
Just after this PrithviRaj Chauhan was busy in honeymooning with his lovey wife Sanyogita and forget the role of the king of the state.He stated taking less interest in the state affairs. But this happened for less than 1 yr. So we cannot say this was the main reason as there as so many chief minister and Army chief were their to handle the law and order condition.
One of the most important reason what most of thw historian quotes is that he left the severely injured Md Ghori and given his chance to go and rectify his mistake.But I think this is a general trait of any Indian that we believe in execusing our enemy's ever if they are providing damages to us.we can see it in the current situation where we are excusing Pakistan everytime since 1947. So as a Indian King he did this. So no need to blame him for this.
Raja Jaichand Rathore suppnort Md. Ghori to launch another attack just after 1 yr as PrithviRaj Chauhan was comparatively appearing to be bit weak due to recent war of Tarain and War with Jaichand during the elopement of Sanyogita.
Md Ghori attacked PrithviRaj Chauhan with comparatively huge armed force of 120000.Whuch Includes Jaichand's army support as well.
Prithvi Raj Chauhan was extremely brave and inspite of having huge army strength in opposition he fought the war with great courage and in skillful way.But in order to tarnish his image few historian narrate this story in opposite way and tells that PrithviRaj Chauhan was having 10x soldier than Ghori, which wrong interpretation.
We all Indian have some legacy and we dont attack someone from behind. Similarly as per the rule of war , battle time was fixed upon mutual understanding that it will happen between morning to evening and at night all should take rest.
For Rajput Battle used to be their favorite game and they used to adhere to the rule strictly.
