A petition on seeking to bring back the remains of Prithviraj Chauhan is gradually gaining momentum. Prithviraj Chauhan was the Indian king who controlled present-day Rajstham, Haryana and Delhi with some parts of Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Even in such a hopeless condition, the brave Rajput king managed to kill the Afghan ruler through a clever trick and avenged his defeat and capture. But instead of matching Prithviraj’s humanity, Ghori had him blinded and held him as a prisoner in Afghanistan. He defeated and captured the Afghan Muslim invader Mohammed Ghori and through an act of Rajput chivalry subsequently spared his life - only to find that Ghori returned with a bigger army the following year and defeated Prithviraj. Prithviraj was the last Hindu ruler of Delhi. “Prithviraj is an inspiration and a national hero for India and we need to learn the lessons of his bravery, chivalry, betrayal and how the petty grievances led to almost the extinction of Hindu culture in Afghanistan,” he said, advocating to bring back his remains to India. My heart still aches when I remember how the locals disgrace his tomb,” said the Afghan national who didn’t want to give his name fearing for the lives of his relatives still living in Afghanistan. “Last year, I went to the tomb of Prithviraj Chauhan. He said they would arrive in India in future. An Afghan national, part of a group of 182 Afghan Hindus and Sikhs who migrated to India last week, said around 200 more members of both communities were left in the war-torn nation.

He said Prithviraj’s bones could still be found there and should be cremated with proper ceremonies so that the future generations had a place to visit and offer tribute to one of the greatest Indians that ever lived. “And, it should be done before the last batch of Hindus and Sikhs leaves Afghanistan for good,” he said. Talking to TOI, UK-based Hindu activist Ashish Joshi, who is leading the drive, said the Indian government should demand the return of Prithviraj’s remains so that he could at least be given a proper Hindu funeral and a national monument could be set up as a testament to his patriotism and humanity.
