Question

why did Alauddin attack chittor?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The later legends based on Malik Mohammad Jaisi's epic poem Padmavat state that Alauddin invaded Chittor to obtain Padmini, the queen of Ratnasimha (called Ratan Sen or Ratan Singh in these legends). According to these legends, a man named Raghava told Alauddin about the extraordinary beauty of Padmini.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alauddin Khilji attacked Chittor in 1303. After winning Gujarat and Ranthambore the first reason for annexing Chittor was his expansionist policy.

Jayasi wrote in his poetic style that Alauddin attacked Chittor to win queen Padmavati as he was attracted by her beauty but most of the historians have rejected this theory.
