The petitioner Sachin Kumar writes, РІР‚СљThe inscription on the tomb of Prithviran Chauhan reads: РІР‚СљHere lies the Kafer king of Delhi. A petition on seeking to bring back the remains of Prithviraj Chauhan is gradually gaining momentum. 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 PrithvirajРІР‚в„ўs 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. He ruled Sapadalaksha, the traditional Chahamana territory, in present-day north-western India. Prithviraj was the last Hindu ruler of Delhi. Prithviraja III, popularly known as Prithviraj Chauhan or Rai Pithora was a king from the Chahamana dynasty. РІР‚СљPrithviraj 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,РІР‚Сњ he said, advocating to bring back his remains to India. My heart still aches when I remember how the locals disgrace his tomb,РІР‚Сњ said the Afghan national who didnРІР‚в„ўt want to give his name fearing for the lives of his relatives still living in Afghanistan. РІР‚СљLast 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 PrithvirajРІР‚в„ўs 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.

РІР‚СљAnd, it should be done before the last batch of Hindus and Sikhs leaves Afghanistan for good,РІР‚Сњ he said. Prithviraj ChauhanРІР‚в„ўs heroic achievements have been portrayed in a number of Indian films and television series, such as РІР‚ВSamrat Prithviraj ChauhanРІР‚в„ў and РІР‚ВVeer Yodha Prithviraj Chauhan.РІР‚в„ў There are many memorials in Ajmer, Delhi, and other places that honour the chivalrous Rajput ruler. Talking to TOI, UK-based Hindu activist Ashish Joshi, who is leading the drive, said the Indian government should demand the return of PrithvirajРІР‚в„ўs 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. AMRITSAR: With just around 200 Hindus and Sikhs left in Afghanistan, a drive has been initiated to demand return of the remains of Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan buried on the outskirts of the Afghan city of Ghazni and give him a decent funeral in India.
