According to article of “the pioneer”

/////Dravidian politicians in Tamil Nadu are famous for their anti-Hindu stance. Anything associated with the religion is anathema to them. Thirumavalavan, a Member of Parliament, went to the extent of changing the name of his father from Ramasamy to Tholkappiyan to flaunt his hatred for Hinduism and Ramayana. DMK chief M Karunanidhi too does not waste the smallest of opportunities to ridicule Hindu Gods. The mainline regional parties in the State always shun Ramayan and Mahabharatha as literary works “penned by Aryan aggressors from the North.”

All these beliefs are set to be shaken when the first International Conference on Ramayana in Literature, Society and Arts begins in Chennai on Friday. The month-long event will feature some of the best scientific and archaeological findings collected by researchers who have rummaged through the sub continent’s landscape and oriental libraries within and outside of India over decades.

M Amirthalingam, a soft spoken botanist who undertook a journey from Ayodhya to Lanka to retrace the life of exile by Ram, Sita and Lakshman found that the flora and fauna mentioned in Ramayan is not a figment of Valmiki’s imagination.

“We found all the plants, trees, flowers and fruits that have been mentioned by the poet in Ramayan. The accounts given by Valmiki about different landscapes, mountains, river basins and forests are accurate. When the Ramayan was being written, there were thick forests in Naimisharanya, Chitrakoot, Dandakaranya and Panchavati. The Kishkindha Kanda of Ramayan discusses the geographical distribution, botanical wealth and forestry,” Amirthalingam, research scientist, CPR Environmental Education Centre, told The Pioneer.

Dr Nandita Krishna, director, CPREEC, said Kishkinta was nothing but Hampi in the Deccan plateau. “The places Ram chose to stay during his exile from Ayodhya were full of plants, vegetations and biodiversity. Valmiki has mentioned dense jungles full of lions and tigers, though the co-existence of the two cats is hard to imagine now,” she said, pointing out that a corollary proof of such habitat was found in the Bhimbedka caves in Madhya Pradesh that has 10,000-year-old wall carvings and paintings featuring lions and tigers.

The seminar will features artists from across the country displaying their craftsmanship in recounting the Ramayan as it happened. Paintings by Raja Ravi Varma, Gond Ram Katha by the tribals drawn from Madhya Pradesh, Madhubani paintings, Stone Age sculptures of 2nd century BC, Patta Chitra by artistes of Odisha and paintings from various South East Asian countries will be on display at the Ramayan exhibition.

‘Our objective is to tell the people in Tamil Nadu that Ramayan is a real-life story and we have scientific and archaeological proof. The poem contains all flora and fauna mentioned in Rig Veda which again reiterates that Ramayan is more than a book. It is a chronicle of tremendous ecological significance and great morality,” said Dr Krishna.

Dr Krishna and Amirthalingam also pointed out to Sanjeevani, the hillock in the tropical forests of Sri Lanka. “The hillock contains exquisite flora, fauna and medicinal plants. It stands distinct from the Lankan topography, giving credence to the theory that Hanuman brought it from the north of the Himalayas,” they said.

The conference will see the re-launching of a rare book on Ram Sethu, the stone-structure believed to be built by Rama and which Karunanidhi wants to demolish at any cost. “The Setu and Rameshwaram” authored by N Vanamamalai Pillai in 1929 with the consent of the then King of Ramnad Shanmuga Rajeswara Naganatha Sethupathi. The kings of Ramnad are addressed as Sethupathis because it is believed that Lord Rama entrusted them with the guardianship of the bridge.

Any seminar on Ramayan will not be completed without the Ram Temple at Ayodhya. AK Sharma, an archaeologist of repute, is presenting a research paper with scientific proof of the existence of a temple on the disputed land.

“Ramayan is no stranger to Tamil Nadu. The literary works of Aka Naanooru and Pura Nanooru of the great Sangam period have a lot of reference to both Ramayan and Mahabharata. Politicians prove their “secular” credentials by insulting and abusing Lord Ram and Lord Krishna only to ensure their vote banks. But Ramayan and Mahabharata will continue to inspire and enlighten the people,” said Ram Mohan, an Indologist of Saraswathi Research Centre, Chennai.//////

The sub-clans of the Kachwaha Kings count upto 71 and recognized sub-clans of the Kachhawa clan are Rajawat, Sheobramhpota, Shekhawat, Nathawat, Naruka, Khangarot and Kumbhani. Raja Prithiviraj organized his clan and had twelve main houses, which were regarded as eminent system. Among twelve houses called the Bara Kotris, nine were his sons and grandsons and three houses from his forefathers. the.

The Kachhawas are the descendants of the Surya or Sun Dynasty from the ancient Kshatriyas. Specifically, they claim their origin from Kusha, the younger of the twin sons of Rama and hero of the Ramayana, to whom patrilineal descent is from Surya. However, it has been suggested that Kachwaha Kings is a diminutive of the Sanskrit combined word `Kachhahap-ghata` or `Tortoise-killer`.

According to Vishnu Purana, Bardic chronicles and popular tradition, Sumitra was the last king of this dynasty in Ayodhya. In the fourth century BC Mahapadma Nanda of Nanda Dynasty included Ayodhya in his empire and Kushwahas were forced to leave. Kurma was son of Sumitra then migrated from their parental habitat and established them self at the bank of the River Son, where they constructed a fort and named it Rohtas (Rahatas) fort. The powerful districts were Kutwar, Gwalior, Dubkhund, Simhapaniya and Narwar (Nalapura). The clan then occupied Narwar in the 10th century and remained there until Parihara Rajputs captured Narwar in the 12th century. The Kachwahas were in Narwar several centuries earlier and after the downfall of Kannauj in the 8th-10th century, the Kacchapaghata state officially emerged as a principal power in the Chambal valley of present-day Madhya Pradesh.

The rise of the Kachwahas in Madhya Pradesh is closely associated with Suraj/Surya Sen, a Kachwaha prince of the 8th century, who was responsible for the building of Gwalior fort and the founding of that city. In the oldest section of Gwalior fort there still subsists as a sacred pond known as the Suraj-Kund.

According to an inscription in the Sas-Bahu temple in the Gwalior fort, Vajradaman (Vazradaman) (964-1000 AD), the successor of the Kacchapaghata ruler Laksmana (940-964 AD) subsided the rising power of the ruler of Gandhinagara (Kannauj). According to Bardic chronicles and popular legend, Mangalraja succeeded his father Vazradaman. Mangalraja had two sons Kirtiraj (Kirtirai) and Sumitra. While Sumitra got Narwar to possess, Kirtiraj got Gwalior. Kirtiraj, also formed the temple city of Simhapaniya (present-day Sihonia) and got a Shiva temple constructed to fulfill the wish of his queen Kakanwati. The Kakan Math temple was built from 1015 to 1035 A.D and is 115 ft (35 m) high. Interestingly Simphaniya was a flourishing center of Jainism. After Sumitra, Madhubramh, Kanh, Devanik, and Isha Singh ruled Narwar. The famous Sas-Bahu inscription is dated to 1093 AD and it provides the genealogy of the ruling family up to Mahipal who died sometime before 1104 AD.

The Kachwahas provided the Mughals some of their most eminent generals. Raja Bhagwant Das (1575-1589) introduced the secret of artillery production from Lahore to Amber in 1584, soon cannons began to be made at the foundry in Jaigarh Fort, much to the annoyance of the Mughals who kept the secret to themselves ever since they used it in the grand battles, against the Lodhis and the Rajputs. In 1589, Bhagwant Das was succeeded by Raja Man Singh I (1589-1614); they contributed much to establishment the Mughals rule. Sawai Jai Singh II (1700-1743), a grandson of Mirza Raja Jai Singh I, was known to be supremely talented on the battlefield. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II found the city of Jaipur and constructed a palace for Royal family. Sawai Man Singh II was the last ruler of Jaipur, after his death in 1970, he was succeeded by his eldest son Sawai Bhawani Singh of Jaipur, who in Democratic India reigns as current head of the Kachhawa Kings.

Some of the Kachwaha Kings in Dhundhar are as follows –

The twelve Kothris of Amber other than the royal house of Jaipur who belong to Rajawat sub clan are as follows –

Thus nine of the 12 kothris of Kachawahas Kings, came from sons and grandsons of Raja Prithviraj of Amber (1502 to 1527), one from the descent of Raja Junasi(1328-1366) of Amber and one from sons of Raja Udaikaran (1366-1388) of Amber, and the last from the family of Raja Banvir (1427-1439) of Amber.

-REKHTA (SANT KABIR)

ASANTUSHTA DWIJA NASHTA SANTUSTA EVA PARTHIVA (KING OF EARTH)

-CHANKYA (KAUTILYA)

Jay hind brothers! Recently we have celebrated our 63rd republic day so why not we will discuss about great king of KUSHWAHA “KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI” in modern India. Right now I am talking about MAHARAJA HARI SINGH (LAST KING OF JAMMU & KASHMIR) but before going to know about him (Patriotic Indian) we should need to consider above two couplets of Sant Kabir & Chankya (great diplomat).

Yes, according to Sant Kabir it’s our responsibility to identify our self to see the mirror of history and work as lion (KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI).These day our country (INDIA) is facing many troubles from all sides because we are not united.

In other words great diplomat “Chankya” had explained satisfaction is only for Brahmin not for KSHATRIYA because if king of earth (Parthiva) will satisfy with his boundary then how can he increase or expand it.

GREAT DEEDS OF SHAKYAMUNI (LORD BUDHA)

Really LORD BUDHHA (SHAKYAMUNI) was actual Parthiva (king of earth) in SHAKYA dynasty who expand their boundary beyond Aryavart (Korea, Japan, China, Cambodia, Russia, Germany & Indonesia).He not only increase ancient Indian border, make piece and non violence among human being also. He distributed Vedas & Shastras in entire Asian countries (Jambudip) to retain our identity and great past. Unfortunately Mughal, Turk & Afghan (ISLAMIK-INDIA) came over here, flamed Nalanda University & Takshashila University (OLDEST UNIVERSITY OF THE WORLD).Those culprit Malechha (Cruel Muslim) were happy to vanish great Indian history and sciences. All Indian temples and statues were under attack; actually they (TURK, AFGHAN & MUGHAL) were wanted to rewrite our history, identity and culture according to Islamic eyes. Though interestingly Cambodian (KAMBOJ), Russian, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Burmese (Myanmar) were entirely involve with Geeta, Ramayana, Vedas, Puranic including Jatak granths(lord Buddha) due to dharma prachar of GREAT ASHOKA. Thanks to SHAKYAMUNI (LORD BUDHHA-48^th line of KUSHA) & great KUSHWAHA emperor ASHOKA (58^th line of KUSHA) who save our Identity as KUSHWAHA “KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI”

JAMWAL & MINHAS GREAT SUBCASTE OR CLAN OF KUSHWAHA “KSHATRIYA SURAYAVANSHI”

JAMWAL & MINHAS both are clan of KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI in JAMMU& KASHMIR, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. That claims solar origin by direct descent from SHREE RAM CHANDRA (LORD RAMA). JAMWAL traditions state that their ancestor, Raja Agnigarba, came from AYODHYAYA (ABADH) and founded a small state on the banks of River Tawi. A few generations later, Raja Jambu Lochan founded the city and state of JAMMU & KASHMIR. In RAJPUTANA their closest cousins are KUSHWAHA OR KACHHWAHA “KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI” of Jaipur.

The DOGRA MAHARAJ of JAMMU & KASHMIR belongs to this clan. MINHAS, Nagyal, Thakial, Bersal and Kohal KSHATRIYA are also an offshoot of this clan. It is said that one Raja Malan Hans took up agriculture and left the throne to his younger brother, Raja Suraj Hans. Since that time KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI who took up agriculture are styled MINHAS, whereas the name JAMWAL is confined to the royal branch.

the founders of the city and state of JAMMU & KASHMIR and its rulers from ancient times to 1948 CE. Paying tribute to the antiquity of their royal lineage, Sir Lepel Griffin says, “These royal dynasties may have been already ancient when Moses was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, and the Greeks were steering their swift ships to Troy.

Wheel of Konark Sun Temple. Konark in Orissa, India is famous for its Sun Temple.The idol worshipped inside the temple represents Konaditya, literally Kon+Aditya (the Sun in a particular direction).

A famous MINHAS OR MANHAS in history was Baba Chamliyal also called DULEEP SINGH, a warrior saint, whose Samādhi (place of cremation) is still visited by hundreds and thousands of Pakistanis and Indians each year in the month of June. The Mela (fair) which is held in honour of Baba Chamliyal, was celebrated for the 317th time on Thursday, June 22, 2006 as the man-made boundary between India and Pakistan lost its importance momentarily and people from both sides participated in the mela with vigour.

BANDA BAHADUR, the famous disciple of Guru Gobind Singh who was the tenth Sikh Guru and the founder of the Khalsa brotherhood, was born into a MINHAS KSHATRIYA family in Rajouri in the JAMMU region. BANDA BAHADUR was an accomplished warrior-general, who almost destroyed Mughal presence in eastern Punjab and arguably created the first Sikh State

HARI SINGH (LAST KING OF KASHMIR –KUSHWAHA “KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI” FROM JAMWAL OR MINHAS CLAN)

MAHARAJA HARI SINGH (23 September 1895, JAMMU–26 April 1961, Bombay) was the last ruling Maharaja of the princely state of JAMMU & KASHMIR in India.

He was married four times. With his fourth wife, Maharani Tara Devi (1910–1967), he had one son, Yuvraj (Crown Prince) DR KARNA SINGH. Early life

MAHARAJA HARI SINGH was born in Amar Mahal, JAMMU, the only surviving son of General Raja Sir Amar Singh (14 January 1864-26 March 1909), the younger son of General Maharajadhiraj Sri Sir Ranbir Singh and the brother of Lieutenant-General Maharajadhiraj Sri Sir Pratap Singh, the then MAHARAJA OF JAMMU &KASHMIR

Part2

In 1903, MAHARAJA HARI SINGH served as a Page of Honour to Lord Curzon at the grand Delhi Durbar. At the age of 13, MAHARAJA HARI SINGH was dispatched toMayo College in Ajmer. A year later in 1909, when his father died, the British took a personal interest in his education and appointed Major H.K. Brar as his guardian. After Mayo College the ruler-in-waiting went to the Imperial Cadet Corps at Dehra Dun for military training, imbibing its British upper-crust atmosphere and polishing his English to a high gloss, and by the age of 20 he had been appointed commander-in-chief of the JAMMU & KASHMIR state forces.

The death of his uncle, Sir Pratap Singh, in 1925, MAHARAJA HARI SINGH ascended the throne of JAMMU & KASHMIR. He made primary education compulsory in the State, introduced laws prohibiting child marriage and threw open places of worship for the low castes.

MAHARAJA HARI SINGH was hostile towards the Indian National Congress, in part because of the close friendship between Kashmiri political activist and socialist Sheikh Abdullah and Nehru. He also opposed the Muslim League and its members’ communalist outlook illustrated in their two-nation theory. During the Second World War, from 1944-1946 MAHARAJA HARI SINGH was a member of the Imperial War Cabinet.

In 1947, after India gained independence from British rule, JAMMU & KASHMIR had the option to join either India or Pakistan or to remain independent. He originally maneuvered to maintain his independence by playing off India and Pakistan. There was a widespread belief that rulers of the princely states, in deciding to accede to India or Pakistan, should respect the wishes of the population, but few rulers took any steps to consult on such decisions. JAMMU & KASHMIR was a Muslim majority state, and a mutiny of Muslim regiments in Gilgit followed in October 1947. MAHARAJA HARI SINGH appealed to India for help. India refused to come to his aid unless he acceded to India.^[2]

MAHARAJA HARI SINGH signed the Instrument of Accession on October 26, 1947, acceding the whole of his princely state (including JAMMU & KASHMIR, Northern Areas, Ladakh, Trans-Karakoram Tract and Aksai Chin) to the Dominion of India.These events triggered the first Indo-Pakistan War.

After abdicating in favour of his son and heir, MAHARAJA HARI SINGH retired to Bombay (Mumbai), where he died on 26 April 1961 of a heart attack, aged 65. His sonYuvraj (Crown Prince) DR KARNA SINGH elected ‘Sadr-e-Riyasat’ (‘President of the Province’) and Governor of the State in 1964.

The British Crown is at the top, representing Emperor of India, whose Resident was posted in KASHMIR. An unidentified object is below the crown. Two soldiers are holding two flags. An image of the sun is between them, as the KSHATRIYA clan to which MAHARAJA HARI SINGH belonged claimed to have descended from the sun. The sword crossing the two flags maysignify that the state was conquered by force of arms. The inscription at the bottom needs to be deciphered.Yuvraj (Crown Prince), i.e., heir-apparent DR KARNA SINGH(9 March 1931-)The last ruler of JAMMU & KASHMIR was MAHARAJA HARI SINGH who ascended the throne in 1925. The MAHARAJA HARI SINGH was one the most progressive rulers of his times. He was a progressive ruler and much loved by his subjects. His reign saw the accession of JAMMU & KASHMIR to the newly independent Indian Union in 1947. Although he originally manouvred to maintain his independence by playing off Indiaand Pakistan against each other, MAHARAJA HARI SINGH, the last king of the KSHATRIYA SURYAVANSHI kingdom of JAMMU & KASHMIR, ceded his kingdom to theIndian Union in 1947. In 1951, MAHARAJA HARI SINGH’S rule was terminated by the assembly and his son YUVRAJ DR KARNA SINGH was made ‘Sadr-e-Riyasat’ (‘President of the State’) and Governor of the State in 1964.

DR KARNA SINGH is an Indian politician and member of the royal family of JAMMU & KASHMIR. He is a MP in the Rajya Sabha, a senior member of the ruling Indian National Congress Party serving as Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Department, President of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), India’s Ambassador toUNESCO, Chairman of the Auroville Foundation and of the Temple of Understanding, author, diplomat, champion of interfaith dialogue, and HINDU (SANATAN-DHARMA) Scholar. DR KARNA SINGH(born 1931) is the son of the last ruler of the princely state of JAMMU & KASHMIR MAHARAJA HARI SINGH In the 26th amendment^[1] to theConstitution of India promulgated in 1971, the Government of India abolished all official symbols of princely India, including titles, privileges, and remuneration (privy purses).DR KARNA SINGH received the Padma Vibhushan in 2005.

Part1

The illustrious line of kings which ruled Kashi (Kasi), also called Varanasi was derived from him. The Mauryan dynasty, an empire that ruled the Indian sub-continent (320-185 BC) claimed descent from Kush.

The Kuchhwaha (also spelled as Kushwaha & Kurma) are a Suryavanshi Kshatriya clan who ruled a number of kingdoms and princely states in India such as Alwar, Maihar, Talcher, while the largest kingdom was Jaipur (Jainagara) which was founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1727. The Maharaja of Jaipur is regarded as the head of the extended Kachhwaha clan.

Outside of Rajasthan Kachhwahas are found in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, but are chiefly found in Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Muttra, Agra and Cawnpore. A number of Kachhwaha adventurers from the Gwalior also emigrated to Jalaun, where settlements were established in Etawah. Kachhwahas from Bulandshahr(chhtari village) are said to have descended from Narwar, while the Kachhwahas of Muzaffarnagar called themselves Jhotiyana.

Sub Clans of Kachhwaha Rajputs

Introduction and Definition of clans Rajput is a term used for princely Kshatriyas. It is mentioned in Yajurveda, which is oldest. The Suryavanshi or of Sun Dynasty followed a rule since Manu Vaivaswat known as Primoginiture. According to this rule only eldest male offspring of a king could succeed to the throne if otherwise qualified. Who is qualified and who is not was judged by priests. According to this rule, eldest male offspring of a king was given throne after him. But younger brothers were not neglected, they were given portions from the entire kingdom but on the condition that they would remain faithful to the kingdom and rule of Manu.The best example is of Bharata who was younger brother of Rama. Though he was nominated to be the next king, He never accepted it and upon order of his elder brother Rama ruled Ayodhya as regent for 14 years. He never enjoyed benefits of kingdom. He lived a simple life in a hut out side of the town of Ayodhya. Kachawahas followed the same rule. Accordingly younger brothers of a king were given portions of land later known as Thikanas. According to this rule the clan of the king was never counted.But the clan of his yoynger brothers was counted. It was only at the time of Raja Bhagwant Das, that his offspring got a different name. However the rule of primoginiture was neglected at certain times. After the Mughal Empire was founded, it was upon the emperor to recognise someone or not. There were many examples of it. Same was the rule of Kachhwahas, The king could recognise, disrecognise, oust, grant, any chiefship under him. Without the recognition, The kingdom or chiefship could not be founded.

Specifically, they are descent from Kusha[1] younger of the twin sons of Rama, hero of the Ramayana, to whom patrilineal descent from Surya is in turn ascribed. Indeed, the name Kachawaha is held by many[2] to be a patronymic derived from the name “Kusha”. However, it has been suggested that Kachwaha is a diminutive of the Sanskrit conjoint word ”Kachhahap-ghata” or ”Tortoise-killer”; Tortoise in Sanskrit being Kashyapa, although there may be several connotations for the interpretation of these terms. According to Vishnu Purana[5], Bardic chronicles and popular tradition; Sumitra was the last king of this dynasty in Ayodhya. In fourth century BC Mahapadma Nanda of Nanda Dynasty included Ayodhya in his empire and Kushwahas were forced to leave. Kurma was son of Sumitra thus migrated from their parental abode and established themself at the bank of the river son, where they constructed a fort called the Rohtas (Rahatas) fort. T.H. Henley, states in his Rulers of India and the Chiefs of Rajputana that the Kachwaha clan is believed to have settled in an early era at Rohtas(Rahatas) on the son river in present-day Bihar. He notes however that their notable seats of power were Kutwar, Gwalior, Dubkhund, Simhapaniya and Narwar (Nalapura), all in present-day Madhya Pradesh. This second westwards migration to Madhaya Pradesh is said to have been initiated under Raja Nala, the legendary founder of Narwar. James Tod, has recorded the view as being prevalent in his time, that the clan occupied Narwar in the 10th century and remained there until Narwar was captured by Parihara Rajputs in the 12th century, however local history suggests that the Kachwahas were in Narwar several centuries earlier than the date given by Tod”s arbitrary view. Many historians aver that the Kacchapaghatas, like the Chandellas and Paramaras, originated as tributaries of the preceding powers of the region. They point out that it was only following the downfall, in the 8th-10th century, of Kannauj (the regional seat-of-power, following the break-up of Harsha”s empire), that the Kacchapaghata state emerged as a principal power in the Chambal[6] valley of present-day Madhya Pradesh. This view is largely supported by archaeological artefacts[3] and Kacchapaghata coinage (minted in Gupta-fashion)[4] discovered in Madya pradesh, as also by inscriptions of Gopasetra (Willis). It is interesting to note that according to popular legend,[5] the rise of the Kachwahas in Madhya Pradesh is closely associated with Suraj/Surya Sen, a Kachwaha prince of the 8th century, whom is said to have been responsible for the building of Gwalior fort and the founding of that city[7][8]. In the oldest section of Gwalior fort there still exists a sacred pond known as the Suraj-Kund [9]. It may thus be logical that the Kachwaha rule in Chambal valley predates the dates ascribed in the Sas-Bahu insription. According to an inscription in the Sas-Bahu temple within Gwalior fort, Vajradaman (Vazradaman) (964-1000 AD), the successor of the Kacchapaghata ruler Laksmana (940-964 AD) “put down the rising power of the ruler of Gandhinagara (Kannauj) and his proclamation-drum resounded on the fort of Gopadri (Gwalior).” Lakshmana father of Vajradamana was son of Dhola or Salhkumar (It is thus believed that Vajradamana was grandson of Dhola or Salhkumar). According to Bardic chronicles and popular legend, Vazradaman was succeeded by his son Mangalraja. Mangalraja had two sons Kirtiraj(Kirtirai) and Sumitra. While Sumitra got Narwar in succession, Kirtiraj got Gwalior. Kirtiraja, also founded the temple city of Simhapaniya (present-day Sihonia),[6] there he had a Shiva temple constructed to fulfil the wish of his queen Kakanwati. Built between 1015 to 1035 A.D., the Kakan Math temple is 115 ft.vals in splendour the temples of Khajuraho.[7] Interestingly Simphaniya like present day Jaipur, was a flourishing center of Jainism. After Sumitra, Madhubramh, Kanh, Devanik, and Isha Singh ruled Narwar. The Sas-Bahu inscription is dated to 1093 AD and it gives the genealogy of the ruling family up to Mahipal who died sometime before 1104 AD. Prior to the adoption of the Pachrang (five coloured) flag by Raja Man Singh I of Amber, the original flag of the Kachwahas was known as the ”Jharshahi” (tree-marked) flag. The flag is based on the archaic flag of Ayodhya, the ”Kanchnar-dhavaj” flag of Rama, which is composed of the figure of a Kachnar tree on a white cloth. The Famous 7th century, Sanskrit poet Bhavabhuti whom was a resident of Padmavati, near Narwar, the abode of the Kachwahas at the time, also gives mention to this flag in his celebrated drama ”Uttara Ramacharita”.

Chandragupta Maurya

Reign: 322 BCE-298 BCE
Born:  340 BCE
Died : 298 BCE
Successor:  Bindusara
Royal House: Mauryan dynasty
Religious beliefs: Vedic Hindu, Jain

In the Forth cantury AD a new Indian dyansty, the guptas,arose in Magadha and established a larges kingdom over the greater part of northern india.

Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of the Maurya Empire.Chandragupta succeeded in bringing together most of the Indian subcontinent. As a result, Chandragupta is considered the first unifier of India and its first genuine emperor. In foreign Greek and Latin accounts, Chandragupta is known as Sandrokuptos, Sandrokottos, or Androcottus.

His achievements, which ranged from defeating Alexander the Great’s Macedonian satrapies and conquering the Nanda Empire by the time he was only about 20 years old, to defeating Seleucus I Nicator and establishing centralized rule throughout South Asia, remain some of the most celebrated in the history of India. Over two thousand years later, the accomplishments of Chandragupta and his successors, including Ashoka the Great, are objects of great study in the annals of South Asian and world history.

Under Chandragupta Maurya, the whole of northern India was united.Trade flourished, agriculture was regulated, weights and measures were standardized. Money first came into use. Taxation, sanitation and famine relief became the concerns of the State. His son and successor, Bindusara (296 BC – 273 BC), extended the kingdom further and conquered the south as far as Mysore.

Chandragupta’s adviser or prime minister Chanakya, who is also known as Kautilya and was the author of the Arthashastra, is regarded as the architect of Chandragupta’s early rise to power. Chandragupta Maurya, with the help of Chanakya, began laying the foundation of the Maurya Empire. In all forms of the Chanakya legend,[33] he is thrown out of the Nanda court by the king, whereupon he swears revenge. While in Magadha, Chanakya by chance met Chandragupta in whom he spotted great military and executive abilities. Chanakya was impressed by the prince’s personality and intelligence, and immediately took the young boy under his wing to fulfill his silent vow.

Born” 563 BCE Lumbini, Nepal
Died: 483 BCE Kushinagar, India
Occupation: Prince, Spiritual teacher
Home town: Kapilavastu
Known for: Founder of Buddhism Predecessor: Kassapa Buddha
Successor :Maitreya

Nepal is the birthplace of LORD Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. The four holy places associated with Gautam Buddha in India are – Lumbini, his birthplace, which lies in Nepal; Bodhgaya, where he attained enlightenment; Sarnath, near Varanasi, where he preached his first sermon; Kushinagar, near Gorakhpur, where he achieved Mahanirvana.

These can be considered part of the broader region of Ancient India. His father was King Suddhodana, the chief of the Shakya nation, one of several ancient tribes in the growing state of Kosala; Gautama was the family name. His mother, Queen Maha Maya (Mayadevi) and Suddhodana’s wife, was a Koliyan princess. On the night Siddhartha was conceived, As was the Shakya tradition, when his mother Queen Maya became pregnant, she left Kapilvastu for her father’s kingdom to give birth. However, she gave birth on the way, at Lumbini, in a garden beneath a sal tree.

Siddhartha’s father arranged his marriage to Yasodhara, a cousin of the same age. Though this is the traditional account, an early source casts doubt as to the historicity of his married life. According to the traditional account, in time, she gave birth to a son, Rahula. Siddhartha spent 29 years as a Prince in Kapilavastu. Although his father ensured that Siddhartha was provided with everything he could want or need, Siddhartha felt that material wealth was not the ultimate goal of life.

The remaining 45 years of his life, the Buddha is said to have traveled in the Gangetic Plain, in what is now Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and southern Nepal, teaching his doctrine and discipline to an extremely diverse range of people— from nobles to outcaste street sweepers, mass murderers such as Angulimala and cannibals such as Alavaka.

The first vassana was spent at Varanasi when the sangha was first formed. After this, he travelled to Rajagaha, the capital of Magadha to visit King Bimbisara, in accordance with his promise after enlightenment. It was during this visit that Sariputta and Mahamoggallana were converted by Assaji, one of the first five disciples; they were to become the Buddha’s two foremost disciples. The Buddha then spent the next three seasons at Veluvana Bamboo Grove monastery in Rajagaha, the capital of Magadha. The monastery, which was of a moderate distance from the city centre was donated by Bimbisara.

The History of Buddhism spans the 6th century BCE to the present, starting with the birth of the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama. This makes it one of the oldest religions practiced today. Starting in India, the religion evolved as it spread through Central Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. At one time or another it affected most of the Asian continent. The history of Buddhism is also characterized by the development of numerous movements and schisms among them the Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions, with contrasting periods of expansion and retreat.

According to the Mahaparinibbana Sutta of the Pali canon, at the age of 80, the Buddha announced that he would soon reach Parinirvana or the final deathless state abandoning the earthly body. After this, the Buddha ate his last meal, which, according to some translations was pork, which he had received as an offering from a blacksmith named Cunda. Falling violently ill, Buddha instructed his attendant Ananda to convince Cunda that the meal eaten at his place had nothing to do with his passing[citation needed] and that his meal would be a source of the greatest merit as it provided the last meal for a Buddha.
