Rajasthan and Bundelkhand
abound in stories of valour and sacrifice. Names like Rana Pratap and Chhatrasal
are the bright lights that dazzle like the sun. But there are smaller stars
as well, like Alha-Udal and Bappa Rawal, to whom history accords a brief
tribute. Amar Singh Rathor belongs to this galaxy of stars. Amar Singh
Rathor, a brave Rajput warrior, was the Commander of Shah Jahan’s army,
and was held in great esteem by the Mughal Emperor himself. He was brave
with a great sense of self-worth. As long as Shah Jahan honoured him, he
fulfilled his duties zealously. But when the king, tricked by his jealous
and scheming courtiers, hurt Amar Singh Rathor’s pride and self-respect,
he fought the emperor with his small but courageous army and died a martyr’s
death.The story in this Amar Chitra Katha is about Amar Singh Rathor’s
brave death, and the ensuing battle by two valiant young lads to bring
back his body from Shah Jahan. It is based on the book Amar Singh Rathor
by the late Shri Gheesaram.
