PRITHVIRAJ CHAUHAN ALL EPISODES 2007 MOVIE

Harbans Mukhia, a veteran historian who taught Mughal history at JNU, personally congratulated Shahane for his casteist bile. However, Shahane’s highly opinionated article was endorsed across the civil society on social media and elsewhere. Would Shahane subject the Marathi Brahmin community to such vile propaganda? Probably not. It was a superficial rant that could be debunked through scholarly works by historians like Shantarani Sharma on Pratihar Rajputs, AK Majumdar’s writings on Solanki Rajputs, RK Dixit’s on the Chandella Rajputs, Nandini Kapur Sinha’s on Guhilots, Jadunath Sarkar’s History of the Jaipur State, DC Ganguly on the history of Parmars, Ajay Rawat & Manucci on the history of Garhwal, etc. In 2015, an article was published by Girish Shahane, which derided the Rajput community as “defeat-specialists’. The relationship between this civil society and the Rajput or Kshatriya community can best be described as ‘shaky’ and the below examples will explain this better. India’s civil society is composed of nonRajput upper-castes, upper OBCs and Ashrafs who became elites after the suppression of the 1857 revolt. It is perplexing to find the same community now threatening a violent bloodbath over the identities of different Rajput kings – Mihirbhoj or Prithviraj? The other larger question is why isn’t civil society calling out this lie even as fringe elements threaten large-scale violence based on weak theories? Both questions have the same answer. This is the same Goojar community, which had taken to public vandalism, blocked road and rail routes between Delhi and Mumbai demanding ST reservations in 2008.

It is only in the 19th century that claims by Goojars appear, that too in British era Gazetteers ( eg Karnal & Saharanpur Gazetteers), which also mention different Goojar clans and reveal how they connected themselves to Rajput clans. These books also cite Inscriptions on other Rajput clans – Johiyas, Dahiyawats,Tomars,Parmars, Kalchuris and Solankis of the 11th century India. These cadet lineages included Nadol Chauhans, Jalore Chauhans, Deora Chauhans, Dholpur-Bhadawar Chauhans (Bhadaurias), Hadas, Khichi Chauhans and even Kayamkhani (Muslim Chayal Chauhans). These books not only discuss the Imperial Chauhans of Ajmer-Sambhar, their Inscriptions, and their contributions, but also their various cadet lineages. Dasrath Sharma’s ‘Early Chauhan Dynasties’ and Prof RB Singh’s ‘History of Chauhans’, the two most authentic books on Chauhan History.

To dispel doubts about the Chauhan clan, one must refer to Prof. Therefore, if the filmmakers decide to veil the Rajput identity of the Chauhan Emperor (a historical fact), fearing backlash from the Goojars, it will be unfortunate but it won’t be surprising.

After claiming the Pratihar Emperor, Mihirbhoj, the Goojar Mahasabha and members of the Goojar community have threatened to forcibly stop the screening of the Bollywood flick ‘Prithviraj’, starring Akshay Kumar, if the movie continues using the term ‘Rajput’ for Prithviraj Chauhan – who they claim belonged to the Goojar community.
