Talk:Battle of Kasahrada

Naiki Devi ?

This remained unnoticed by me even after having a regular check at the article that it mentions legendary queen Naiki Devi participation in the battle, although I checked all cited sources from A.K Majumdar (looks least creadible among these), Dasharatha Sharma, R.B Singh, Satish Chandra, Rima Hooja, Ram Vallabh Somani and none mentions about her participation in the battle. It simply mentions that young Mularaja II defeated Mu'izz ud-din here, further it's disputed whether Mularaja was actually ruling Gujarat at the time or not as this is well established fact that he died in 1178 CE himself and Bhima II succeded him who ruled for nearly 50 odd years.

• Near contemporary chronicle of Delhi Sultanate, Minhaj mentions about Mu'izz rout here but did not mention any participation of a warrior queen. All he mentioned is The Young Rai of Narahwala defeated the army of Islam near Abu
• Sharma in his work Early Chauhan dynasties 1959, actually mentions that it was probably Bhima II who lead Rajput army here, so did Satish Chandra as Mularaja died the same year as Bhima reign starts.
• Sajaypal007: You created this article, Could you please explain on which ground you added her name ?

PS:- To me, Naiki Devi part seems nothing more than folk tale. I am happy to be disabused on this by being provided a WP:HIST reference for her participation. Packer&Tracker «Talk» 07:48, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Further, Rima Hooja listed the participants in the battle and I could not see any mention of Naiki Devi here as well:-

In AD 1175, he

attacked and captured Multan. This considerably weakened the hold of the Ismailis in the region. Another target was upper Sindh, (which had reverted into Ismaili hands since the time of the early Ghaznavides), and Muhammad of Ghor soon led expeditions against both upper and lower Sindh. After occupying Uchchh in 1175 and annexing adjoining parts of Sindh, Muhammad of Ghor advanced against Gujarat in AD 1178, which was then ruled by the Chalukyan ruler Bhima II (?Mularaj II?). The bravery and spirited fight put up by him and his allies (among them Kelhan of Nadol, his younger brother, Kirtipal Chauhan,

founder of the Jalore line, and the Parmar ruler of Abu, King Dharavarsha), forced the enemy back from the vicinity of Abu, in Rajasthan. According to the Sundha Inscription, this decisive battle took place at Kasahrada, near Abu
