This thread is tribute to a Queen of Gujarat - The Naika Devi who defeated Mohammed Ghori
She was Daughter of Kadamba ruler Mahamandalesvar Permadi of Goa, wife of Ajaypal Solanki & Mother of Mulraj Solanki 2

#NaikiDevi #SheInspiresUs

I m bringing this story which I have heard in childhood, and I m glad to share this
We all know about Jhansi ki Rani who unfortunately lost the war, but if the defeated Queen can inspire us, why not a Victorious Queen too get her due recognition
So this is my #SheInspiresUs story

1) After demise of King Ajaypal Solanki, His queen Naika Devi became regent ruler of Gujarat as her son Mulraj was mere Kid. When Mohammed Ghori came to know that Province of Gujarat is under a widow Queen now, he planned to attack and loot Gujarat

2) Naika Devi aksed for Help from Hindu Kings of neighboring states including Prithviraj Chauhan, but as usual none of the Hindu Kings helped thinking of that we aren't being attacked so who cares (with all due respect to Prithviraj Chauhan)

3) No Big and strong King helped her, but She got help only from Parmar of Arbuda, Chauhans of Nadol & Jarol
With a Comparatively very small Army, she decided to stop Invaders at the border of Hilly area of Arbuda ( Mount Abu) which gave them Geographic advantage
#SheInspiresUs

It became Impossible for invaders to even enter into Gujarat, Ghori's Army perished and he ran away along with a few Trustworthy ppl of his troop.

Many ppl calim that she hit Ghori on his back when he was running and it gave him permanent marks of deep injuries
#SheInspiresUs

Due to this gruesome defeat at the hand of Great Queen NaikaDevi, Ghori didn't ever return to Gujarat and marched on northwards

Such stories from History force me to think Why our History Books don't include these Sheros
She is my #Shero and not some Jihadan popularised by Media

Out of Luck, Ghori escaped from Queen of Gujarat and the same Ghori tortured Prithviraj Chauhan in gruesome way after he captured him with deceit
A wise perso is the one who learns from historical mistakes and doesn't repeat it so that it become reason of our own downfall
