Evaluate the Rathore-Sisodia alliance against Aurangzeb.

Answer»

The Marwar chieftains reached Jodhpur along with Ajit Singh, but as Jodhpur had been occupied by the royal army, they became concerned about the security of Ajit Singh. Majaraja Jaswant Singh’s eldest queen Rani Jaswantde was the daughter of Bundi’s Rao Chhatrasal. Her half-sister Kanan Kumari was married to Maharana Raj Singh.

Due to this, Durgadas sent a request to Maharana Raj Singh to provide protection to Ajit Singh through Kanan Kumari. The issue of security of Mewar was also associated with the entire incident. Due to this, Raj Singh accepted the request and granted the lease of Kelve along with twelve villages to Ajit Singh. When Aurangzeb came to know about all this, he sent an order to the Maharana demanding Ajit Singh’s custody, but the Maharana did not pay any attention to this.
