2 Chapter Iv il CHAPTER IV maharana sangram sinch ALIAS SANGA (1509 A.D. - 1523 A.D.) Sangraa Singh alias Sanga, born to Jaivanta Bai on Tuesday» April 14* 14^ A.B.^ » was the third son of Hana Raiiaal* Nothing is known about his childhood though i t is safe to presume that normal martial training, a necessair equipaient of a prince-royal in the mediaeval times, v/ould not hare been denied to him; and that martial k skill which ch^terised all the sons 2 of Raimal , would have adorned the personality of young Sanga as well. We first hear of him when Prithviraj and Jaimal challenged the(^verdicts )or the astrologer and the priestess-oracle of Bhimal about the future succession of Sanga to the throne of Ghittor after the death of Raimal through their attempts on the life of Sanga. The War of Succession (150$-6 A .D .) and the period following:, the return of Sanga to Mewar to administer the state on behalf of his father schooled him in the ytays of the world and statecraft. The period preceeding the death o f Raimal proved further fateful to him by manoeinrring events to bless the beginning of the reign of Sanga with a victory over the forces of Sikandar Lodi. Battle of Bakrol:- The Vanshavalis evidence for a battle between Sher 3 4 Khan Pathan of Narwar and Maharana Sanga on the 19th day since his succession to the throne of Mewar ( i .e ., Monday, June 11,1509 A .D ,), However, no reason for this clash is giren. Farishta^, Tabkat-i Akhari^, Tarikh-i I t o Daudi , Al Badaoni and Niaiaatullah^ refer to Sultan Sikander's attack on Narwar through Jalal and Sher Shah Fanouli in 1507 A.D. During the siege of the fort of Narwar these Imperial comrnanders fell under suspicion of collusion tdth the garrison and, on the Sultanas having personally come to take the charge of siege operations, they were held in Haniaaantgadh, BThe siege of Narwar lasted for six months moref The shortage of supplies consequent upon a siege lasting for more than an year led to the c^^ture of the fort in 1508 A.D* rhe Muslim historians a-lee do not speak anything beyond this event. However, Khmian liaso says that Babfaar ^han 4ughal sou^t the hand of the beautiiUl dau^ter of tehim Shah, a Mahajan chief minister of the forraer Hindu ruler. **either could i^ahira Shah consent to this proposal ! iusto his religious scruples not. could he refuse due to safety considerations. So he made a false promise to the Chan and soon escaped to Mewar. The extradiction request >f the imperialists was turned down by Sanga. This preci­ pitated a war in which the army o f the Sultan of Delhi fas defeated and the imperialj^band was wrested . The >ossibility of Sher toiah*s leading the forces of Delhi >ultan against Sanga in the Battle of Bakrol is enhanced jy the fact that Jalal, a fellow-prisoner along vdth lim in Hanumantgadh, was freed by 1$08 A.D. as his issignment to protect and aid Mhomed of Malwa suggests Gk>paldas,the great grandson of Chunda, was killed In this 12 battle • Soon after this victory, Naacrwar fell in the hands of Sanga.^^ Conquest a of A.imer and Toda:- The conquest of Narwar was followed by the conquest of Ajmer^^ and the bestowai of Badnor on Kararachand 15 Pawar . /in attack on Toda was also made. Sanga was opposed here by Udai Karan, the younger brother of Rao Surtan. ajr It appears ■ that ati the approach of the Sisodia army the Solankis left Toda. The battle took place beyond the skirts of the other side of the city. The Solankis were defeated^ Sanga*8 Help to Kaimal s/o Kao Sura.imal of Idar:- 17 Rao Bhana of Idar had two sons -> Surajmal and 1B Bhira • Rao Bhim, who had usurped the throne of Idar^^ ?0 died in 1514& A«D. , leaving his son Bhannal to succeed him^^* Raimal s/o Surajmal sought help from Sangaf his 23 father-in-law, who came to Idar in Nov,-Dec, 1 5 H A.D, 20 was 2L The fort of Idar was captured Bhannal/expelled and 25 the country was handed over to icaimal • Muzaffar Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat, was at tiiat time ^ Dhar in Malwa^^. On learning about these develoj^nts he was much surprised at the audacity of the Uana to aid Raimal and oust 27 Bharmal , as Idar was regarded by the Sultan as falling 2B within the orbit of the authority of Gujarat • So Muzaffar returned to Gujarat.29 Meanwhile in 1515 A.D. Bharmal sought the help of the Sultan against the Rana^^* Muzaffar Shah deputed Nizamulinulk, the fief-holder of Ahmadnagar, to reinstate Bhannal in his father's place . ^4 On his way tD Idar, N^zamulmulk met Bharmal and both 32 retiomed to Ahmodabad • Probably, Bharml explained the situation to the commander who seems to have realized that there was no chance of success with the help of the 33 forces at his disposal • So both returned to tdie court* They accompanied the Sultan upto Pattan, >^ere N^zaraul- mUlk got leave for the second tiine to proceed against 33 Idar , possibly with a bigger army* Nizamulmulk captured 34 Idar and placed Bharmal on the throne • Eaiiaal betook hiniself to tlie hills of Bijayanagar , the place where his ancestor Punja had sougli^ refuge against 35 36 ^hmad Shah * Niaamulmulk at his own initiative pursued 37 him there and in an action both the parties suffered 3d heavily • Many best emirs and a l>iuslim general lost 39 their lives in this battle • Though it is claimed by Tabkat-i Akbari^^ that this battle was indecisive^ Fariah- ta^^ flrankly admits the defeat of the Gujaratis* Muzaffar Shah disapproved this precipitate action^\ which, according to the Sultan, was unnecessary after the 42 43 recovery of Idar • Hizamulmulk was recalled on that 44 , e very day for having exceeded his instructions • On 46 his return Muzaffar scolded him severely for the 4^ lumecessary loss of a nun^er of Muslim soldiers . The clashes between the forces of Gujarat and Raimal continued till 1517 A*D* with varying fortunes and Muzaffar Shah 49 failed in dislodging Kai°>al the country. Even the personal visit of Muzaffar Shah to Idar on the plea of a 5© hunting expedition failed to improve the situation • In 1517 A«D. on account of Illness of Nizamulmulk, Nasiur^ud* mulk was appointed to relieve the former^\ However, N^zamulmulk left Idar before the arrival o f his successor by leaving the charge in the hands of^ahirulmulk with a small army under his command^\ Eaimal swooped upon 52 Idar and cub off Jahiruliaulk along with 209 nen • The 53 Gujaratis were beaten • This defeat led Muzaffar Shah to order Naj^rulniulk to devastate the area of Idar as 1- 54 far as Bija^agar, the nest &f t}^ rebels • Tl^ fighting went on^^« In 151^ A«li« EaLaal attacked Gilwara and the country of Fattan.

Defeat of Antl«Mewar Ra.jput Confederacyi- The conquest of Sambhar^^ by Sanga from Sultan 62 Mahmud Khilji of M^du , possibly, offended the Rat>ors of Marwar.

S.M.S.Science Department of Life Science &Technology, College, Gwalior Boston College for Professional Studies, Gwalior ABSTRACT Physico-chemical properties of underground drinking water were studied after reports of presence of fluo- ride in ground water of some parts of Karera and Narwar Block of Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh. Water samples were collected from the various places of Karera and Narwar Block of Shivpuri district. The physico-chemical properties such as color, pH, TDS (total dissolved solid), salinity, electrical conductivity, acidity, alkalinity, chloride, iron, total hardness, calcium and magnesium hardness and fluoride concentration were studied and analyzed. Microbiological analy- sis was done using MPN test and Standard plate count. Bacteria present in samples were isolated on selective media and were biochemically characterized. The results obtained were compared with acceptable limits of the drinking water set by CPHEEO and BIS. Most of the water samples were not found suitable for drinking. Results indicate that three out of eight water samples had fluoride content above acceptable limit and all samples accept one had coli forms present.

  • Chanderi Saree
    Chanderi Saree Back ground: Situated on the boundary of two cultural regions of Madhya Pradesh, Malwa and Bundelkhand, Chanderi, placed in the Vindhyachal ranges is home to a wide range of traditions. Specializing in producing fine textured Chanderi sarees of silk and cotton embellished with zari work intricately woven by hand interspersed with the delicacy of the extra weft motifs has for times immemorial satisfied the refined tastes of the royalty. Chanderi silk cotton sarees display various beautifully striking motifs that include ‘Dandidar, ‘Chatai’, ‘jangla’ etc. Material used: The un-degummed mulberry silk yarn of 16/18 to 20/22 Denier count is used in warp. Whereas 100s-120s or 2/100s to 2/120s cotton yarn is used in the weft. Because of un-degummed silk yarn, the fabric is transparent. Gold and silver Zari are used for extra warp designs in border and extra weft designs in pallow and body. Technique applied: Weaving is done on pit as well as frame loom filted with jala designing technique. Jala are lifted manually either by helper or weaver himself for weaving extra weft designs in the body and the pallow of the saree. Sometime jacquards are also used for lifting jala. For extra warp figuring in border, lattice dobby is used. The pegs/screws are inserted on lattice as per design and theses pegs/screws lift selected levers as a result extra warp threads are lifted. The lattice dobby is placed on the top of loom and connected to heald shaft which gives motion to dobby while operated by pedals/treadles.
