How did Durgadas Rathore protect Ajit Singh, the descendent of Marwar?

Answer»

Descendent of Marwar Ajit Singh was protected by Durgadas in a brave and clever manner. Durgadas reached Delhi and requested Aurangzeb to give Ajit Singh’ state of Marwar. Aurangzeb asked him to adopt Islam. He kept this as a condition, for giving him Marwar. Durgadas Rathore was not ready to accept this condition. To keep Ajit Singh in Delhi was also a risk for his safety. So, freeing him from the clutches of Aurangzeb was necessary. The way in which Durgadas, with his farsightedness freed Ajit Singh from the clutches of Aurangzeb and brought him back to Marwar was not less than a miracle. Durgadas sent Ajit Singh to Sirohi. When Aurangzeb got information about this, he sent huge army but in the leadership of Durgadas Rathores started uniting. They made the Mughal army to run away Aurangzeb sent prince Akbar to Marwar, but he was totally unsuccessful in controlling the Rathores. On the other hand, Durgadas put prince Akbar against his father Aurangzeb. This was the great success of Durgadas from political point of view. In the same way, the agreement of Rathore- Sisodia was done by Durgadas for the security of Ajit Singh and Maratha’s cooperation was a big, diplomatic victory of Durgadas. In this way he saved Ajit Singh.
