To sacrifice oneself for the love of the country, to die laughingly for ones master, and for the pride of the country and for the words if one treats his biggest sacrifice smallest-it can be only one person in the world and he is `Durgadas. `Veer or `Brave adjective is very small before him in fact. . Maharaja Jaswantsingh of Jodhpur, the favourite commander-in-chief of mughal Emperor Aurangzeb went to Qabul to suppress the revolt of pathans, he succeeded in his mission but due to a conspiracy he died there. When he breathed his last, one of his favourite courtier Durgadas took an oath before him that he will put on the throne of Jodhpur its right master. `Veer Durgadas is the story of the fulfilment of the same oath. . Emperor Aurangzeb got a strong shock by Jaswantsinghs death. He ordered his favourite commander Fauladkhan to bring Maharani and newly born boy of Jaswantsingh to Delhi. He met them on their way to Jodhpur and brought them Delhi. Durgadas was not ready to go but he had to accept the decision of majority of Jaswantsinghs main courtiers. . At Delhi Prince Akbar was refused by Durgadas to send the Maharani and Babyking Ajit to Mughal palaces. There a severe fight took place between the Rajput and the Mughals and Durgadas very bravely took away the child king towards the mountains of Abu, where he took shelter for many more years. In the meantime accidently he met Padma, sister of Harisingh Chauhan, who was on the side of Mughals both of them did not know this-but inspite of strong opposition of Hari Singh there love transformed into marriage. And thus one more brave woman set out on the side of Durgadas to clash with Mughals. Durgadas, the jewel among Rathods, fought against the mighty Mughals. He lost his dear mother, his beloved son and last but not least wife, his strength. These great sacrifices enhenced his strength. In his old age also he could challenge his mightiest enemy-but as the history of India goes, and particularly the history of Rajasthan, Durgadas had to face the opposition and revolt of his own men. Inspite of all this he fought for his oath andwent alone to the court of old Lion Aurangzeb, with his grand-daughter Sultana. . Emperor Aurangzeb tempted him but in vain. His opponent Rajputs also realised their mistakes and came to Durgadas. In the last battle for throne of Jodhpur victory came to Durgadas as an obedient wife-because due to his bravest deeds he had vanished the opposition of Auranzeb .. but he did not wear the crown of victory, willingly gave it up.... . There are very few examples of such bravery, chivelry and sacrifice in the world as of `Veer Durgadas. Check out this page for more updates on Veer Durgadas.
