@VImvinit007 When Aurangzeb defeated Raja Jaswant Singh upon his death he imprisoned his pregnant wife and imposed his rule on Marwar
His condition of return of the kingdom to the Rathores was that the new born son of Raja Jaswant Singh would have to convert to Islam +1
@VImvinit007 The wive and new born son were prisoners in Red Fort Delhi
Durgadas Rathore hatched a plan to rescue the to be king
He took 100 Rajput warriors with him to Delhi and with the help of a vassal of Marwar exchanged his (vassals) son for the king
When Aurangzeb was made aware +2
@VImvinit007 He was enraged a dispatched his army with orders to kill all including the kings newborn son
Those 100 warriors then stood like a wall 2-3 stopping to slow down the army fighting like men possessed as Durgadas made progress to Jodhpur with the Kings son +3
@VImvinit007 So fought the Rathores of Marwar till the to be King was back safely in Jodhpur
Of the 100 only Durgadas Rathore survived in his bid to restore the kingdom back to the Rathores
Which he did later on+4
@VImvinit007 A single man dedicated to his kingdom showed raw courage, faced an army with just 100 warriors and laid to rest the nefarious plans of Aurangzeb for Marwar
He later defeated Aurangzebs governor and restored the kingdom of Marwar back to the Rathores
