PLAN FOR THE BATTLE OF TARAIN
The truth was just days away now, to unveil their queries, the false but most celebrated myth at their neighbours about Prithvi's death. The battleground was ready to ups and down the present into enlightened future at Delhi. It was PrithviRaj Chohan's blindfold archery skill or was Shabadin Ghouri's sharp sword cuts, which was about to glimpse, the time was here.
Hassan and Murtaza joined Ghouri's army back at battle of Tarain near Delhi. The preparation of war was at its hype. 1, 20000 armored soldiers were sharpening their teeth. On that night brave slave commander of Ghauri, Qutub ud Din Aibak opened the map and gave them the plan.
Hassan and Murtaza joined Ghouri's army back at battle of Tarain near Delhi. The preparation of war was at its hype. 1, 20000 armored soldiers were sharpening their teeth. On that night brave slave commander of Ghauri, Qutub ud Din Aibak opened the map and gave them the plan.
‘The war will be fought in the
same field of Tarain against the same enemy. Like any great invaders, we have
learnt by our mistakes of last year's defeat over here. We’ll avoid melee combat directly
and our mounds of archers will circle them one after one.’ he pointed the
positions on the map and rolled the map after detailed briefing.
‘They’re
almost 3000 elephants joining a cavalry of 300,000 soldiers from Prithivi. Many
rajahs of allied states have sent aid for Prithivi but the sky will witness the
great victory of our horsemen.
War is a game of determination not numbers,’
Murtaza completed his round and turned his horse.
DOORS
WERE OPEN TO GREAT MUSLIM
‘Prithivi
was the last independent Hindu king of area and his defeat opened the
gates of Islam in northern India, following the great Muslim dynasties. At last
this area experienced the great blended architect, literacy, tasty cuisine
and splendid traditions from all over the world,’ Hassan got emotional and
loud.
‘These
time traveling have put good effect on you. I believe this time you’ll get more
just than passing grades in History,’ Murtaza chortled.
The
night went dark and quiet, when the brave soldiers were ready to attack the territories
of Delhi and Ajmer. Murtaza and Hassan wore their armor and took their
positions. Shahabudin Ghauri grouped them in 5 units. Murtaza unit had to
attack first with other three units and Hassan was among the 5th one
at wait.
A
FLANKING AND REAR MANEUVER
Murtaza’s
unit advanced for flank and rear attacks on enemy. Prithvi’s forces opposed
strongly at start. The elephants roared and archers fired thousands of arrows.
The horse started to neigh after looking at giant creature but continued after
looking at the strength of mind of their masters. Murtaza killed two elephants
by slapping spears in their necks. Shahbudin’s best archers managed to target
at the feet of elephants and throw the arrows like the hailing from the sky. The
flank attack of Ghauri was still unable to break and weaken the disciplined
enemy rows.
RESULT
OF TARAIN BATTLE

The
Prithvi’s forces seemed relaxed at fleeing Ghauri troops as Ghauris were
expecting. Now the Hassan’s unit came forward to flank attack, according to the
plan. They entered in the lines of Prithvi’s elephant jungle and cut their
roots.
Murtaza
got energy again and by showing of his best archery skills hit hundreds of
enemy men.
Hassan
got a grave hit on its arm and was about to meet the ruined grassland when
Murtaza hold him. Then they both fought riding the same horse.
‘Its
looking we’re fighting, riding a heavy bike.’ Hassan’s sword cut many throats.
Murtaza was throwing spears at clumsy
elephants. The elephants couldn’t hold their balance and there burst debacle in
the field. Elephants were ruining their own chivalries. Shahbudin’s cavalry circled
the Prithvi’s forces from all sides.
‘Get
him, he is running,’ Hassan screamed by looking at the fleeing Prithivi, who
abandoned his elephant for a horse.
Murtaza
took the charge of horse again, chased fast and imprisoned the escaping enemy
chief. The war was over. Muslims won
and enemy had to face a great loss.
DEATH
OF FALSE MYTH ABOUT PRITHVI’S EXECUTION
‘I have heard much about your best archery
skills that you can hit the target precisely even blindfold but I’m
disappointed. You were not even able to show it with open eyes. I wish if I
could any glimpses of your skill in the field,’ Shahabudin looked at the
imprisoned Prithvi.
‘You
can still see it my lord, stitch his eyes and give him his bow. He’ll target
his prey so precisely,’ Prithvi’s royal lady Chandra Gupta tried to incite the Shahabudin
to give him another chance. Shahabudin thought for a while.
‘The idea seems smart and appealing but I’m not desperate to see the
skills of a defeated king. Ann..I would love to listen something from you. I
have heard about royal lady's poetic strategies are admirable that hint her man to hit precise when blindfold...quite interesting,’ Shahabudin grinned at his
commanders.
Chandara Gupta hardly uttered few verses to admire his defeated husband which became the part of history.

‘You
can deceive your natives by playing this precise blindfold hitting game with
the help of your poetic hints about the exact position of targets, not us,’
Qutub ud Din advanced angrily.
‘I
have to move forward to Ajmer now with my forces, so I’m sending you to Ghazni
to Sultan Ghiyasuddin Ghauri. He’ll decide your fate,’ Shahabudin gave his just verdict on Prithvi’s fate. Hassan was appointed to drag Prithvi back to Ghazni.
‘You
were superb, my slave. Your fighting skills were unbeatable. I want you to manage
my winning state and to rule a new slave dynasty,’ Ghauri honored Murtaza during the celebration of victory.
‘But
I always want to fight with you as a warrior. I don’t want any state in
reward,’ Murtaza bowed down.
The
winning Delhi’s administration was given to another brave commander Qutub ud
din Aibak.
It was 1193 when Prithivi was presented to Sultan Ghiyasuddin
Ghauri in Ghazni and he ordered to execute him. Prithvi's remains are still buried at barren grounds of Ghazni, Afghanistan. Shahbudin Ghauri was conquering the lands when Hassan came back to join his
forces after Prithvi’s execution.
MOURN
AND RUMORS AT PRITHVI’S EXECUTION
People
at Delhi were stunt, hurting and depressed at the defeat of PrithiviRaj Chohan. Mourn and sadness
spread far and wide. The people around were not ready to believe that how their
brave rajah could be executed so easily. Discomposure spread among the local
people. To reprieve their unrest, storytellers of that area made anecdotes
about the death of Prithivi. Shahabudin
was fighting in the far battlefields when storytellers of Delhi were narrating
false stories.
‘Prithivi
killed Shahabudin in his court with his stitched eyes, when he asked him to
show his excellence,’ one of the narrators tried to ease the local inhabitants.
‘Shahabudin
deceived Prithivi by attacking in early morning, otherwise result would be
reversed,’ another man lightens up his audience and these false stories were
retold many times that they seemed to be true in future.
GHAURI’S
EXPEDITIONS AND DEATH
‘Please to see you. I was feeling so alone,’ Murtaza greeted Hassan in the camp.
‘I have heard many rumors about the end of Prithivi in the way when I
myself have dug his grave in Ghazni and Muhammad Ghauri is alive and fighting
in front of me,’ Hassan seemed amazed.
‘This
is why Zaka brought us here, to unveil the truth. Prithivi was strangled in 1193
in Ghazni and Shahabudin was died in 1206 in Jehlum, Pakistan during his expedition.
What
a superb archer who targeted and killed the Shahabudin after 14 years of his death!’ Zaka
elucidate him the real facts.
‘All
images of past times are saved in space holes and all myths will die with time
when people will watch them in future. It's time to go back now. Oh, I mean, go
forward. My work has also done,’ just then Zaka joined them.

WARRIORS OF TODAY
‘I
love in being a warrior. I don’t want to prepare our Maths test. Two months
have passed in past means two hours passed in our time. Our mothers are going
to kill us now,’ Hassan remembered at once.
‘I kept
your mothers busy in chatting during a walk in garden. They are completely
unaware of your absence. You’re also a warrior of your time. War techniques and
styles have changed. Now the battles are fought with modern technologies. You
are the warriors, who have to practice and master the latest skills and for
this education is must. Now go forward and prove algebraic identities but remember
that R.H.S. is always upper at the L.H.S. in real life,’ Zaka brought them
outside and pointed towards the sky.
They
found themselves in their garden.
‘I don’t believe, I was a part of such a great
victory in the history,’ Hassan was amused.
‘You know history repeats itself and Ghauri
will beat Prithivi again in any expedition of enemy. Only we have to move with
time. We should learn latest war techniques,’ Murtaza was serious again.
‘I
think we should prepare our test now otherwise our moms will beat us with their
latest techniques,’ Hassan reminded him.
‘Yes,
it seemed, they are our commanders and we are warriors in a battle of studies.
We have no choice, other than to give our best” Murtaza smiled and they went
inside. A great shooting star disappeared in the sky and Hassan noticed the diminishing
of big sword scar on his arm.
