Maharaja Suhaldev Rajbhar :  The great Hindu  warrior

  Maharaja Suhaldev Rajbhar was the great warrior. There is a great story of the war between Sayyed Salar Masood and Maharaja Suhaldev. Sayyad Massod was a nephew of Mahmood Ghazanavi. Massod was born in Ajmer in AD 1015. At the age of 16 he started his invasion of Hindustan. He travelled thousand multan to reach Delhi and from there to Meerut, Kannauj and Satrikh in Barabanki. Before arriving at Bahraich, which seems to have been desolated place at that time,he sent Saiyad Saif-ud-din and Mian Rajab,two kotwals(lieutenants) of his army there. A confederation of the nobles of Bahraich threatened the two lieutenants of Massod and tried to push back the army of Islam. 

 The Battle of Bahraich where nearly 100,000 Muslim soldiers were wiped out, securing our nation from Jihad for nearly 100 years.
  What is notable about this battle is the vast Muslim army was defeated not by any powerful Hindustan empire but by a small confederacy of Kings of Bahraich maharaja Suhaldev which inflicted a crushing defeat on the invaders. 

 The entire invading army was simply annihilated as no quarters were given. It become even more significant when we consider the fact that it was the same Muslim army which was used by Mahmud of Ghazni during his depredations in the North hindustan and which, by historians, is considered to be too ‘advance’ for the contemporary Hindustani ( Indian ) armies. 

 Suhaldev was the eldest son of the king of Sravasti, called Mordhwaj. According to the stories he had many names like Suhaldev, Sakardev, Suhirdadhwaj, Rai Suhrid Dev, Suhridil, Susaj, Shahardev, Sahardev, Suhahldev, Suhildev and Suheldev. But the contemporary print culture he is reffered to as Maharaja Suhaldev. It had spotted major role the great warrior.

1757 : War of the Nagas ~ Shiva’s Sacred Warriors. !

1757 : War of the Nagas ~ Shiva’s Sacred Warriors  Hindu spirituality in its profound diversity has given rise to many religious sects for all grades of character. These include several ascetic groups that have existed since antiquity. One large and prominent Shaiva sect consists of the ‘warrior ascetics’, or Nagas , who have existed since the prehistoric past. Though sadhus in general can be characterized as  peace-loving, the Nagas used to be extreme warriors, fighting with rival sects, the Afghans and later even the British. Their lack of worldly attachments meant they by and large had no fear of death. The Naga sect is generally subdivided into Akharas, their past is visible in their display of  weaponry – sticks, spears, swords and especially the trident – but nowadays these have a mostly symbolic function.. Once in the year 1757 the sacred soil of Gokul was  streaming with blood.    The invasion of the Afghan  invader Ahmed Shah Abdali sent hordes of   his  soldiers
