Dropping your surname just to show you’re against casteism feels meaningless. Your surname carries generations of identity, history, and legacy. Real progress lies in owning your roots with pride, not erasing them to look woke.
Porus was great, and he stood like a rock.
But, it was the Malla Kshatriyas who actually shot an arrow into Alexander's chest, that effectively ended his campaign in India.
All hail Maharana! Wishing you all a very happy Maharana Pratap Jayanti.
Historians and poets have largely confined Maharana Pratap to the battle of Haldighati ignoring the greatest battle that took place in Dewair/Diver. With a force of 18,000, Maharana routed Mughal garrisons of 36,000. Resharing an old thread on Battle of Dewair here. Hope someday historians will do justice with Maharana’s legacy.
P.S: Maharana (Mewar/Guhilots) never fought alone, it was always a Rajput confederacy that included Tomars of Gwalior, Solankis and many more clans.
