Wanderers Chapter 8- Maharana Ki Jai
In the settlement all
were sad about the king’s death. Jaiwanta bai never returned to Udaipur. She
reached the forest settlement instead of the palace.
In Udaipur all the
ministers are not satisfied with Jagmal as king. His casualty was not liked.
Chundawat had warned him quite a lot of times but he was not ready to listen
and change his ways.
His way of calling
dancers from Rajputana to dance in the court was opposed. During the court
sessions he did not listen but was drunken and in sub conscious state.
When the king had to
access his soldiers he was engaged with the dancers and as seeing them dance.
He not only wasted on them but also on alcohol and some drugs. All these things
could not be tolerated for long.
Chundawat gave a
warning and soon left his post. All other ministers also resigned their post.
The king was not bothered at all. Udaipur was now vulnerable to attacks even
though it was protected by the Haldighati grounds on the one side.
After resigning the
posts all reached Pratap to convince him to take the responsibility of the
king.
“Kunwar Pratap baat
samjiye…aap hi Udaipur ko ranaji ke liye apne sath rak sakte hai…Kunwar Jagmal
toh Talwar tak nahi utate”
“Chundawat ji yeh
dhajiraj ka aadesh hai aur humara kartavya hai ki hum unke aadesh ka palan
karna”
“Kunwarsa Kunwar Jagmal
ke hote hue hum Chittor pana toh durr Udaipur bhi sambhal kar nahi rak sakte
hai”
“Bheem Singh Doda ji
aap sab milkar Kunwar Jagmal ko yogya banayiye”
“Kunwarsa yeh humse
nahi ho sakta aur waise bhi veh unka katla kar dete hai joh unhe kilaf bolta
hai…woh bhi darbar mein hi”
“Haan Kunwar Pratap…yeh
thik keh rahe hai”
“Ranimaa aap bhi”
“Kunwar Pratap aap ko
hi Udaipur ko sambhalkar rakna hai aur Chittor ko wapas lena hai…yeh Kunwar
Jagmal se nahi hoga…veh Mewar ko uss Mughal ko daan mein bhi de sakte hai”
“Magar ranimaa…”
“Hume Rana Jagmal Singh
nahi….Hume Maharana Pratap Singh chahiye…Udaipur ke raja sirf Pratap Singh ho
sakte hai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
It was decided that all
will reach the palace the next morning and will remove Jagmal from his post and
crown Pratap.
The next morning they
reached the palace. Jagmal was as usual intoxicated. He was not in senses.
“Rana Jagmal aap
krupaya karke yaha aayiye” Calmly and
softly Chundawat ji requested.
“Nahi”
“Rana Jagmal niche
aayiye” His calm composure was
shattered now, he said a bit loudly.
“Nahi…hum yeh talkth
nahi chodenge”
“Rana Jagmal Singh yeh
akri baar hai…niche ayiye” No more he had
any patience to request him….He just shouted on him.
“Nahi…Yeh humara takhth
hai aur humara hi rehega”
“Jao Chundawat yaha se
bahar jao…yaha tumhara koi sthan nahi hai…”
“Acharya
Raghavendra…Dadabhai Pratap…nahi nahi Deshdrohi Pratap ka chamcha…uska
guru…tumhara bhi iss Udaipur ke darbar mein koi sthan nahi hai…na hi iss Mewar
mein…”
“Ram Shah
Tanwar….Gwalior naresh…na na…ab sirf Shehenshah Akbar ka daas....tumhara sthan
waha Agra ke kal kotri mein hai…yaha Udaipur ke Darbar mein nahi…”
“Bheem Singh Doda…ek
sainik tha aur ab ek darbari…ha ha ha…sab uss Bagaoda Pratap ka bala…tum jao
yaha se…na na isse hai Agra bej diya jaye aur Mughal sena mein samilit kar diya
jaye…”
“Jagmal Singh… Tumhara
itna sahas ki tum Udaipur ke darbariyo se aise baat karo…”
When Jagmal even after
asking quite a few times refused to accept, the anger stood on the last nerve.
Everybody was furious at how he spoke. Chundawat and others pulled him down the
throne and pushed him out of the kingdom.
Pratap was crowned royally
as the Maharana and Ajabde was made the Maharani after Pratap made it clear
that his maharani will be Ajabde only. She was not there but the ceremonies to
declare her as the maharani was done.
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
“Maharani Ajabde ki
Jai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
“Maharani Ajabde ki
Jai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
“Maharani Ajabde ki
Jai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
“Maharani Ajabde ki
Jai”
“Maharana Pratap ki
Jai”
The coronation was
over. All of them left the palace and reached the settlement. All the children
too had to lead a simple life now one.
One person decided to
lead a royal life. Rani Dheer Bai who could not succeed in making her son the
king and becoming the Maharani was left by herself and her son joined hands
with the Mughal ruler Akbar.
