North India hides the gems in the faces of gallant kings, especially of Jaipur. North India tour discloses all about them through guide who states very interesting stories of Amer king, Sawai Jai Singh, Mirza Raja Jai Singh, Maharaja Man Singh, Raja Bhagwant Singh and so on whose life was full of adventure.
If you are crazy lover of history who crazily turns over the pages of the annals to know about who was that king; how powerful he was; how many battles he won; did he have any affair; how many queens he used to have blah, blah, blah…., then this information will surely satiate the thirst of your curios soul.
Rajasthan is opulent by culture and tradition. Besides, its history of brave kings has the flavor of interest as well as lessons to learn. The most inspirational account is of king of Alwar “King Jai Singh” in 1920s. The sound of his invisible slap on the faces of Rolls-Royce salesman was echoed all over the world. The arrogant salesman exhibited the most indecent and uncivilized behavior by mocking at his shabby look. But later, the same king was welcomed who paid in full the total cost of 6 Rolls-Royce, iconic luxury car. In order to teach a memorable lesson of good conduct, he put all Rolls-Royce luxury cars on the service of throwing garbage. As this news out-broke, shame had to be attached to this royal brand. Wasn’t it an inspiration itself that happened only in incredible India?
Let I introduce some more kings of Jaipur who were renowned as the synonym of gallantry.
Raja Bhagwan Das (1574-1589): King Akbar used to have utmost faith in his bravery as he was his one of the trustworthy person. He belonged to Kachhwaha of Amber. Making his father Bhagwan Das or Bhagwant Das proud, he named many wins to his name in Gujarat, Punjab and northern frontier. He denied accepting the mighty king Akbar’s “Din-i-Illahi” which is admirable. I was amazed when I came to know about his guts while exploring during north India tour.
Maharaja Man Singh (1589-1619): He was the descendant of Maharaja Bhagwant Das. He dived into the battles very early of his age. King Akbar admired his chivalry when he conquered Bengal, Orissa, Assam and north India. He marked milestone by defeating the tribal chief of Afghanistan and deployed as commander-in-chief in Mughal army. This post helped him to crush the provocative rebels under his feet.
Mirja Raja Jai Singh (1621-1667): At the tender age of 10, he was enthroned as the king of Amber in 1621. In his very presence, he witnessed the three generations of Mughals, including Jehangir, Shahjahan and Aurangzeb. His triumph in the beginning of his career over the kins of Bijapur, Golconda and Kabul proclaimed him more prominent than that of Shivaji Maharaj in the Mughal court. When he stepped his feet towards Balkh, Kandhar and Kandhar, the Afghan Kings gave up in 1638, 1641, 1647-59 and 1653. Since he defeated mighty Shivaji against the general of Mughal Empire, Emperor Aurangzeb extended his power from Mansab to 7000 army that battled on horse in June 1665.
Sawai Jai Singh (1700-1743): In 1700, Prince Jai Singh became a king at 12 and fought the battle at Khelna, Panhala and other places in the Deccan following the orders of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. For his wits and wisdom, he was awarded with the title ‘Sawai’. The mutiny of Jats in Bharatpur- Mathura region and Malwa in Maharashtra was put off by him. He held the responsibility of revenue collection cleverly as being a Naib Subedar and Subedar of Malwa and Agra. When I was deciding for booking north India tour packages from Delhi, I did not imagine about this man of adventure might be the brain behind observatories. I was really surprise for me. His love for astrology brought the amateur astrologer in him out who built observatories in Varanasi, Mathura, Ujjain, Delhi and Jaipur. His heart laid in vedic sacrifices for which he did the Horse Sacrifice as well.
Being an eminent statesman, he developed the small troupe in to an army and used it for broadening the territory of Amber by conquering Malama in 1716, Amarsar and Naraina in 1718, Bahn Garh in 1724 and Manoharpur in 1725. He battled with Mughal and snatched Jhilai, Unaira and Barwana from them.
It’s interesting to know that he used to have 27 queens. Shiv Singh, Madho Singh and Ishwari Singh had his 3 sons and 2 daughters, namely Vivhitra Kumari and Krishna Kumari.
He abolished social evil practices, such as Sati, child marriage, extravagant celebration etc. He passed away on 3rd October 1743 in Jaipur.
These are just few kings whose lifestyle and gallantry can thrill anyone.
