- This battle was considered so unique and unparalleled in the Hindu history of those days that in order to celebrate it, Rana Kumbha erected a colossal and artistic pillar of victory at Chitod, which still stands to the admiration of all visitors! In a like manner, did Rana Kumbha beat down Sultan Kutbuddin of Gujarat when the latter attacked Kumbhalgad, and Kutbuddin had ultimately to sue for peace and save his life.
- Even after Rana Kumbha, Rajputana claims so many brave and capable leaders of men that whole volumes ought really to be devoted to the generations that produced each of them. But, our recent histories are so much haunted by those of the Muslim and European nations, that they fight shy of recording the glorious acts of the Hindus—it is, in fact, a clear proof of the absence of any independent research made by them and of their glaring ignorance! Fortunately, the contemporary Rasos, written honestly and with a rare literary flavour, and inspired by the exceptional valour of the Hindus of the times, are available here and there. Prithviraj Raso, Hameer Raso, Chhatrasal Raso and many others—beautiful heroic ballads and narrative poems of varied lengths—are to be had even today. But God knows if these historians know them even by name! Again, modern historical research has discovered many rock inscriptions not only in Rajputana, but in the caves at various other places. They also are likely to help a lot in re-writing the history of these Hindu heroes. But the present doesn’t seem to be the proper time to undertake that work on a major institutional basis! Till such a propitious time comes, smaller institutions or individual scholars can start, if not the actual research work, at least, the work of collection of this vast deal of source material. Such a fond hope can safely be entertained, if we remember the celebrated name of Rajwade alone! Lodi Dynasty
- After the end of the Sayyad Dynasty in A.D. 1450, some Lodis of Afghan extraction ruled as Sultans at Delhi for some time. Of them all Shikandar Lodi tried to consolidate his power during A.D. 1485 to 1517. This Shikandar Lodi again was born of a Hindu mother, but like every other Muslim ruler, he always had a stern eye upon the Hindus. He again enforced the ban on the Hindu pilgrimages, which the Hindus had begun to make in the meanwhile. He even forbade collective baths in holy rivers on Parvani days. Nevertheless, as elsewhere, the Hindus resisted stubbornly
