Initially, he ran the administration jointly with his father Samantasimha, and helped ward off invasions from the Delhi Sultanate.

After the Delhi ruler Alauddin Khalji conquered the neighbouring fort of Siwana, Kanhadadeva’s armies fought several skirmishes with him.

76
Q

About Maldev

A

Maldev Rathore (5 December 1511 – 7 November 1562) was an Indian ruler of Marwar, which was later known as Jodhpur (in the present day Rajasthan state of India).

He was a scion of the Rathore clan. His father was Ganga Rathore and his mother was Queen Padmavati of Sirohi.

Maldev fought in the Battle of Khanwa as a young prince, the defeat at Khanwa greatly weakened all the Rajput kingdoms in India, but Marwar under Maldev’s capable rule turned into a powerful Rajput Kingdom that resisted foreign rule and challenged them for northern supremacy.

Maldev refused to ally with either the Sur Empire or the Mughal Empire after Humayun regained control of north India in 1555. This policy was continued by his son and successor Chandrasen Rathore.

The Persian historian Firishta calls him as the “most Potent Ruler of Hindustan”.

Nizamuddin Ahmad in Tabaqat-i-Akbari calls Maldev as the “greatest of the rajas of Hind”.

According to Abul Fazl- Maldev was the most powerful ruler of the region “both in rank and position and for the number of servants and the extent of his territories.”

77
Q

Chandrasen Rathor

A

Rao Chandrasen Rathore (r. 1562–1581) was an Indian ruler of Marwar (in the present day Rajasthan state of India). He was a younger son of Maldeo Rathore. Chandrasen followed his father’s policy and stayed hostile to the ruling foreign powers in India. He defended his kingdom for nearly two decades against relentless attacks from the Mughal Empire.

Hussain Quli Khan-i-Jahan invaded and captured the fort of Jodhpur. Chandrasen was then forced to retreat to Bhadrajun Chandrasen Rathore continued to defy Mughal suzerainty by attacking the imperial forces every now and then. He also succeeded in establishing himself in the northern part of Marwar. However he failed to consolidate his position and lost both men and material.

Akbar had decided to put an end to the thing and sent a strong force under Mir Bakshi Shahbaz Khan. Shahbaz Khan had managed to reduced the fort of Duran and attack Siwana. By the end of March 1576, the fort of Siwana had fallen and left Chandrasen as a homeless wanderer
Chandrasen by this time was left with just a few hundred loyal companions and was unable to face the imperial army. He was forced to retreat to the mountain defiles of Sarand
Sojat became his capital

Chandrasen continued his struggle until his death on 11 January 1581 at Siriari Pass. After his death, Marwar was brought under direct Mughal administration until Akbar restored the throne of Marwar to Udai Singh in August 1583
