Debunking The Fake Narrative that Raja Jaichand was a Traitor Raja Jayachandra popularly known as Jaichand, was a king of the Gahadavala dynasty, whose kingdom stretched from the borders of China to Malwa.
He ruled the Antarvedi country in the Gangetic plains, including the important cities of Kanyakubja & Varanasi.
He is also known as Jayachandra in several inscriptions and Jaichand in vernacular legends.

Raja Jaichand was the son of Vijayachandra and inherited his grandfather ,
Govindachandra's royal titles: Ashvapati Narapati Gajapati Rajatrayadhipati ("leader of three forces: the cavalry, the infantry and the elephant corps") and Vividha-vidya-vichara-vachaspati ("patron of different branches of learning").
Govindchandra was the king during whose reign his governer Anayachandra built the famous Ram temple of Ayodhya (Ram Janam Bhumi) as evident from the Vishnu Hari inscription.
Raja Jaichand ascended the throne on 21 June 1170 CE.
Raja Jaichand ascended the throne on 21 June 1170 CE.
As a prince, Jayachandra was initiated as a worshipper of Krishna by the Vaishnavite guru Praharaja-Sharman. After ascending the throne, Jayachandra assumed the dynasty's traditional title Parama-Maheshvara ("devotee of Lord Shiva").
We are falsely led to believe the 12th-century Rajput king Jaichand was a traitor, who backstabbed Prithviraj Chauhan (Prithviraj III) in the second battle of Tarain against the invading Ghurid forces of Muhammad Ghori, in 1192 AD.
According to the fake narrative peddled by Marxists, Jaichand helped Ghori (variously referred to as Shahabuddin or Muhammad ibn Sam) to gain a foothold in India by conspiring to defeat Chauhan, his arch-rival - a baseless and a historical blunder.
No Islamic or contemporary Hindu sources tell tale of Jaichand's betrayal. If circumstantial evidence are to go by, Jaichand hated Turks.
According to the writings of Chand Bardai in his work written in 15th Century ''Prithviraj Raso'',
According to the writings of Chand Bardai in his work written in 15th Century ''Prithviraj Raso'',
Jaichand was a rival of another Indian king, Prithviraj Chauhan.
His daughter Samyukta eloped with Prithviraj against his wishes, but it never accuses King Jayachandra of having invited the Ghurids to take revenge.
It is a disputed fact that Chand Bardai was a court poet,

It is a disputed fact that Chand Bardai was a court poet,
of Prithviraj Chauhan. Many historians believe he was not contemporaneous to Prithviraj, and his epic poem is fiction since this account is historically inaccurate.
Prithviraj Raso contains a mixture of imaginary stories and historical facts, which it exaggerates for dramatic effect. The more contemporary and accurate account is the Prithviraja Vijaya written by Jayanaka who was in Jaichand's court.
Jaichand is famous in the literary world,
Jaichand is famous in the literary world,
as the patron of Shri Harsha, who is the author of Naishadhiya Charita. Shri Harsha flourished in the court of Jaichand and composed Naishadhiya Charita, which is regarded as one of the five traditional Mahakavyas of Sanskrit literature.There is enough historical evidence in the,
form of texts, which suggests Jaichand never betrayed Prithviraj Chauhan and was a brave king who laid down his life fighting the forces of Ghori. The writings of 12th-century poet Ballabha Deo clearly reflect that Jaichand had not done anything which could be termed as treason.
The History of India by H.M. Elliot and John Dowson recounts the battle of Chandwar in Etawah district. Jaichand was killed in the battle and identified by his teeth, which were gold plated. Jaichand was a lover of Vastu Kala and popular among his subjects.'
Jaichand was the most generous king of his time. His inscriptions are filled with land grants to the priestly class. He has been described as having a powerful army to defend his kingdom [corroborated from both Persian and Indic sources].
Ibn Asir mentions that Jaichand was a powerful King in Bharat who possessed the largest territory extending from the borders of China to Malwa. The Hindu accounts (such as Vidyapati's Purusha-Pariksha ) claim that Jayachandra defeated the Ghurids multiple times.
The great king Jaichand deserves to be projected in true light and it is time the baseless blot is removed.
It is also time for people to stop using a totally unjustified and unfair label on a brave, benevolent and religious king.

Contemporary historical evidences conclusively suggest he was anything but a traitor. He himself valiantly died fighting Ghori. Jayachandra's son Harishchandra succeeded him on the Gahadavala throne.#RajaJaichand #hinduhistory #knowyourhistory #trinetra108 #HinduKings
