It is written in history that
queen of Chittor Karamvati who is also known as Karnavati once sent Rakhi to
Humayun and consequently he helped her. But this is not a truth. In fact, it is
a false attempt to prove Humayun a thorough gentleman and a true secular who
respected Indian tradition and values.
Chittor's Maharana Vikramaditya
was an inept ruler when Gujrat’s Bahadur Shah attacked him. The Chittor's
Feudalists were not happy with him. At that time, in order to deal with the
trouble, Queen Karamvati sent a Rakhi
to Humayun through Seth Padmshah and insisted him to help her like his
sister. Actually, Humayun understood
the values of Queen’s Rakhi and reciprocating he sent her a number of gifts and
good wishes. Humayun was already aware of the significance of Rakhi and
Brother-Sister relations in Indian culture. He knew it because once he took a
refuge at Amarkot (currently in Pakistan) ruled by Rajpoot king Rana Veershal
when he was deported from Delhi by Shershah suri. At that crucial time, Rana
Veershal provided him a shelter and gave him due respect like his close
relative. During that time, Humayun's wife gave birth to Akbar in Amarkot.
Initially, in an awe of Indian
tradition, Humayun marched towards Chittor along with his troop to save Chittor.
But in the midway, in Gwalior, he received Bahadurshah’s letter in which Bahadurshah
emphasized that he had had a 'Jehad' against Kafir(infidel) so he should not
come to their rescue. After reading this, Humayun’s all emotions were vanished
and he quickly forgot the greatness of Indian culture that once gave him shelter
and saved his life. He just stopped there and didn't move ahead. The words 'Jihad against Kafirs' had more
importance for him than anything else in the world. He forgot the
brother-Sister relationship. It had no meaning for him before Islam. He stayed
in Gwalior for next one month and returned back to Agra on 4 March 1533.
In the meantime, one of Humayun's
man Mohamad Jama escaped from Byana and took refuge in Gujarat. Even on the
insistence of Humayun, Bahadurshah refused to send Mohamad Jama back. Urgently,
Humayun attacked Gujrat and defeated Bahadurshah's General Tatar khan easily. At
that time, Bahadurshah had attacked Chittor for the second time. When he heard
his army defeat's against Mughals, He immediately planned to proceed towards
his kingdom leaving chittor behind. But his one Sardar counseled him that until
he was in Chittor, inflicting JIHAD
against Kafir, Humayun would not move ahead against us. And history reveals
that exactly the same happened as Badusrshah’s man said. Humayun stayed in Sarangpur and kept himself
waiting for the result of Chittor battle. But he did not turn up for protecting
the Rakhi’s respect despite having enmity with Bahadurshah. Later Bahadur Shah
won the Chittor battle and went on to Mandsaur along with his troop where Mughals
were already waiting for him. History witnesses one more battle, but
Bahadurshah’s Army was severely defeated by Mughals. Hearing the news of
Bahadurshah's defeat Chittor's 7,000 Rajpoots attacked on Bahadurshah’s
soldiers and made them run away from Chittor. Later Vikramaditya was taken back
from Boondi and Ascended to the throne.
It is an irony that Humayun was
given false credit to help Rajpoots get Chittor back by pseudo seculars and
communist historians. But in reality, Humayun never fought any battle against
Bhadurshah for Chittor.
