History of Chittorgarh |
|
Chittaur is more than a ruined citadel; it is a symbol. It stands for
all that was brave, true and noble in the Rajput tradition. Chittaur
was sacked three times, and on each occasion the rite of Jauhar was
performed. The first was in 1303 when Allauddin Khilji, the Sultan of
Delhi coveted the famous Rajput beauty Rani Padmini whose face he had
seen reflecting on a mirror. Padmini led the Jauhar rather than submit
to dishonour. The second was in 1533 when the Sultan of Gujarat
attacked Bikramjeet of Chittaur. Rani Karnavati, a Bundi Princess,
take the jauhar in which many women and children perished. Her own
infant son, Udai Singh, was smuggled out of Bundi to preserve the
line. Udai Singh returned as a child to Chittaur and he lived to
inherit the throne of Chittaur. But his traumatic childhood had taught
him that discretion was certainly to be preferred to valour, so when
in 1567, Mughal Emperor Akbar beseiged Chittaur, Udai Singh escaped
leaving its defence to two sixteen year old heroes, Jaimal of Bednore
and Patta of Kelwa. They died in true Rajput tradition after the
jauhar had been proclaimed and Akbar, taking no chances, razed the
Fort to rubble. Chittaur was never inhabited again but it always
asserted the heroic spirit of Rajput warriors. Udai Singh built his
new capital in Udaipur. |
