Samrat Prithviraj (2022) The Story:

It is the year 1192, present-day Ghazni, Afghanistan; which was a part of India back then. The scene opens showing Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan captured, and blinded by Muhammad Ghori. The blind Prithviraj is forced to fight three huge lions at a time by Ghori inside a big arena, and he successfully kills all three. But the fight took the most out of the emperor, and he fainted due to weakness and exhaustion.

The story now moves back a few years to Kannauj which was ruled by Prithviraj Chauhan’s cousin, King Jayachand (Ashutosh Rana)。Jayachand的女儿Sanyogita公主(Manushi Chhillar),爱上了统治Ajmer的Prithviraj Chauhan,也恰好是她的叔叔。请注意,这可能看起来乱伦,但是这些事情在历史悠久的印度很普遍。

The story shifts back to Ajmer where Muhammad Ghori’s brother Mir Hossain approached Prithviraj. Both brothers Ghori and Hossain had a drift over a beautiful dancer named Chitralekha in Ghori’s kingdom. Chitralekha and Hossain loved each other, and he had escaped from Ghori along with her. Ghori too desired the beautiful Chitralekha, and Hossain feared his wrath.

Prithviraj offered to help Hossain and took him to his kingdom. As Ghori became aware of this, his anger knew no bounds. He decided to attack Prithviraj’s Ajmer if he was reluctant to hand over Hossain, and Chitralekha to him.

Ghori sent his commander Qutb ud-Din Aibak to Ajmer to negotiate with Prithviraj. Prithviraj rejected Ghori’s demand for Hossain and Chitralekha. Qutb ud-Din Aibak warned Prithviraj that his denial of Ghori’s demand may result in war. Hearing this, Prithviraj accepted the demand for war with Ghori.

This resulted in the First Battle of Tarain where Prithviraj along with Kaka Kanha (Sanjay Dutt),Chand Bardai和他的其他士兵能够击败Ghori的军队。Ghori被Prithviraj俘虏,但几天后,他应Chand Bardai的要求被皇帝释放。Chand Bardai行使了他的占星术,并告知Prithviraj这不是杀死Ghori的合适时机。

日子过去了,Prithviraj被任命为德里的统治者。当他嫉妒他时,这激怒了他的兄弟Jayachand。Jayachand决定为Sanyogita组织一个“ Svayamvara”。斯瓦亚姆瓦拉(Svayamvara)是印度的传统,允许新娘从一群合格的男人那里选出她的新郎。他还进行了“ Rajasuya Yagya”,以增加自己的帝国,这是一个仪式,坚持不懈地向全能者祈祷。他还邀请了Prithviraj,并要求他给他一半的德里帝国。Prithviraj拒绝了Jayachand的邀请,也要求。

As Prithviraj was not present at the occasion, Jayachand decided to make a statue of him in the doorway of his palace. As per the rituals, if someone rejects the invitation, a statue can fill the position of that person who is not present. The Svayamvara started, and Sanyogita was now required to select her groom by putting a garland on her desired man. But she had her heart for Prithviraj only, and thus she decided to put the garland on his statue which Jayachand had erected at his palace’s doorway. By doing this, Sayogita had chosen Prithviraj as her husband.

这激怒了Jayachand,他决定为她的大胆惩罚他的女儿。那时,Prithviraj与Chand Bardai一起骑马到达了场地。他走近,用马背拉了Sanyogita,并与她疾驰。愤怒的Jayachand决定攻击逃离的Prithviraj。但是,他的法院顾问阻止了他这样做。Prithviraj和Sanyogita结婚了。几天后,Jayachand派他的军队攻击在Prithviraj控制下的堡垒。很快,Prithviraj的Gaudpur Fort被Jayachand的军队俘虏。

Prithviraj, Sanyogita, and Chand Bardai were not present at the location during the time of the attack. So, Prithviraj’s most loyal general Kaka Kanha along with his army decided to recapture the Gaudpur fort. They successfully recaptured the fort but Kaka Kanha and many other men of Prithviraj’s army got killed in the battle. Prithviraj was furious and decided to attack Jayachand in return. But he reverted this decision as Kaka Kanha’s last wish was to forgive Jayachand. Later, Prithviraj decided to give an equal position to his wife Sanyogita in his court. But this decision of his was opposed by his court members. However, soon he managed to obtain the approval of his members by educating them about the importance of women, and their equal rights in society.

Jayachand contacted Muhammad Ghori and requested him to capture Prithviraj. Ghori was supposed to hand over Prithviraj to Jayachand in exchange for whatever he desired. So, he once again sent Qutab-ud din Aibak to Delhi to meet Prithviraj. Aibak warned Prithviraj to bow down before Ghori, and accept him as his ruler. If Prithviraj didn’t do so, he should be prepared for another war with Ghori.

Prithviraj accepted the war proposal with Ghori, and the war was declared. Now it was the second battle of Tarain! A violent battle endured between Prithviraj’s army, and Ghori’s army. Ghori seemed to be losing as his army men were getting speedily killed by Prithviraj’s army.

那时,戈里将他的邪恶计划置于行动,并决定在他们睡觉的夜晚攻击普里斯维拉伊和他的军队。晚上,每个人都睡觉时,Ghori的军队猛击了Prithviraj的军队并击败了他们。然后,他们抓获了Prithviraj,并将他带到Ghori面前的Ghazi。

在印度历史上,当一个皇帝用来击败another emperor, the defeated emperor’s women used to become the property of the victorious emperor. As Prithviraj was defeated by Ghori, Ghori claimed Sanyogita as his property. So when Ghori’s army approached Delhi to obtain Sanyogita, she and other Rajput women performed a “Jauhar” which is mass suicide by immolation. This frustrated Ghori, and he now refused to surrender Prithviraj to Jayachand. Jayachand realized that he was the loser here as he not only lost Ajmer to Muhammad Ghori but his daughter Sanyogita as well.

Ghori的男子接管了Prithviraj的德里帝国。Ghori命令他的手下移走被俘虏的Prithviraj的眼睛,使他失明。在失明之后,Prithviraj一次被迫一次与三只狮子作战,但尽管他的病情很悲惨,他还是击败并杀死了所有三个狮子。

After killing the three lions, Prithviraj roared at Ghori that if anyone wanted to attack him, he should first call his name before attacking, and his trusted courtier Chand Bardai should be allowed to help him. After saying this, he fainted out of exhaustion.

The next day, Ghori gave the blind Prithviraj seven chances to save himself along with his army. The task given to Prithviraj was hard. He was to be provided a bow along with seven arrows, and a group of seven of Ghori’s men would be released inside the arena where he was standing. If he can kill just one man out of the seven, then he will be freed.

Prithviraj拒绝了Ghori的提议,只要求一次机会,而不是七个。他要求Ghori只给他一个箭,除了Ghori本人外,没有其他人应该在竞技场内面对他。

Ghori accepted the condition. Riding on horseback, he charged toward the blind Prithviraj. As Ghori approached Prithviraj, Chand Bardai recited the epic poetic lines to Prithviraj, which I have mentioned in the beginning of this story. Through these lines, the blind Prithviraj was able to track the exact direction, and distance from which Ghori was approaching.

He aimed and released the arrow from his bow. The arrow shot toward Muhammad Ghori, and hit his neck, killing him instantly. Elated by Ghori’s death, Chand Bardai jumped to hug Prithviraj. However, Ghori’s men shot several arrows at them which killed both of them instantly. Because of the condition given by Prithviraj to Ghori, Ghori’s men had to reluctantly release Prithviraj from their captivity. After being released, the men carried the dead bodies of both Prithviraj and Chand Bardai to perform their funeral.

Prithviraj Chauhan是德里的最后一位印度教统治者。他去世后,伊斯兰征服印度开始,穆斯林统治者接管了该国。在穆斯林统治者之后,英国人来到印度并奴役了印第安人。Prithviraj Chauhan死后约1000年,印度终于在1947年从英国统治获得了独立。一千年后,印度的自由证明了这位勇敢的战士和印度最后一位印度皇帝的死亡。他的遗产将继续居住在为祖国击败的每一个印度心中。
