Thread on Maldev Rathore. (one of the most powerful Rajput king)

He succeeded his father to rule Marwar, but at the time of his accession only jodhpur and Sojat were under his control
He sent his Rathore army to help rana of mewar against sultan of Gujarat in 1532
in 1534 A.D
Maldev Seized nagaur and drove khan away
He also asked biramdev to hand over Ajmer to him but after getting refusal , He took over Merta and biram had to retire to Ajmer.
later on finally he captured Ajmer
He also conquered Siwana and imprisoned sikandar khan jalore.
When Humayun and sher shah were fighting each other. Maldev Rathore annexed more than 10 districts and extended his rule upto some portions of Gujarat and plundered nabara.
In 1540 A.D He aided uday singh in rescuing throne of mewar and took possession of khairwa and large part of godwad.
in 1542 A.D He invaded Bikaner , killed the ruler and annexed it along with district of jhunjhanu
enemies of maldev placed sher shah against him. When He heard that sher shah is coming , he also marched with a strong army. Even Sher shah was shocked and was thinking to retreat.
But Biramdev played a trick and caused nobles of maldev to betray him hence only 12000 horses arrived to attack sher shah.
but Rathores didn't care. They attacked sher shah and Fought with such bravery that sher shah wanted to quit the battle with his army .But another fresh army was called finally Rathores fell.
Sher shah was shocked when he won. As he almost lost entire Hindustan for a small empire he thought to himself.
Maldev Rathore lost some territories in this battle.
But he raised another army and recaptured his lost territories .
Maldev Rathore even had clashes with Akbar later on who failed to bring this brave rajput king under him.

5. அவர் எனக்கு எப்போதும் வேண்டும் ". This was a dig at BJP who had at that period were playing low key on RJB. I was just out of the leftist clutches and this took me by surprise. She was a member of the RS, by then. I wrote a letter , appreciating her and it was responded to
