Qutbuddin Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate, died after falling from a galloping horse.
But is it really possible that a general who rode a horse for the first time at the age of 11 and fought countless battles on horseback could die from a galloping horse?
Real History vs. Fabricated Story
When Qutbuddin Aibak plundered Rajputana, he killed the king of Mewar and captured Prince Karan Singh. Along with the looted wealth and the prince, he also took the prince's horse "Shubhrak" to Lahore.
In Lahore, Karan Singh tried to escape and was captured. Qutbuddin ordered his beheading and, to add insult to injury, ordered a polo match played using the dead prince's head as a ball.
On the day of the beheading, Qutbuddin arrived at the venue riding Shubhrak. Upon seeing its master Karan Singh, the horse bolted uncontrollably, causing Qutbuddin to fall from the horse. Shubhrak kicked the fallen Qutbuddin with a powerful kick. The powerful blows to the chest and head proved fatal. Qutbuddin Aibak died instantly in 1210 CE.
Everyone was stunned. Shubhrak ran towards Karan Singh, and taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, the prince jumped onto his valiant horse, which immediately took off running and began the most arduous race of his life.
It was a continuous race for almost more than three days, finally stopping at the gates of the kingdom of Mewar. When the prince dismounted, Shubhrak stood still like a statue. Karan Singh lovingly stroked the horse's head, but was shocked when Shubhrak fell to the ground.
The powerful horse managed to save its master and safely escorted him back to his kingdom before succumbing to his injuries.
We've read about Chetak, but the story of Shubhrak is beyond belief! Facts like this never make it into the curriculum of our modern education system. Most of us haven't even heard of it. Have we?
It is permanently buried in history. It's time to share the glory.

@SupriyaShrinate How about looking at a mirror... Words go hollow when you cannot practice what you preach.
Preaching is the easiest job in the world and you are getting paid for it by an incompetent party.

What's wrong with @ZEE5Shows... They are playing @DurexIndia ads every few minutes between a movie. This desparation to sell condoms to a family audience of Bengal Files is nauseatic.
This can be done better in the day and age we live.
@MSEDCL Dear MSEDCL, it's been a couple of hours since Ghot Camp area (410208) has been in complete dark. We can see the adjacent CIDCO area full bright, no power cut there. Are we paying less...
Why should this happen before every drizzle... @Dev_Fadnavis
Ghot Camp Taloja (PIN 410208) has had no power supply since 4 pm today. While the adjacent CIDCO buildings and MIDC are facing no such outage. Any particular reason for this...@MSEDCL@Dev_Fadnavis @EnergyMaharas1
