Gold bird (Sone ki Chidiya) means India was a happy and prosperous country. India had so much resources that he was the richest country in the whole world.The world’s first civilization is also the civilization of India (Indus valley civilization). But the foreign invasions destroyed the peace, prosperity and prosperity of India. There have been many foreign attacks on India in Indian history. To stop whom many great kings, queens and warriors took up arms. But due to some traitors, the external invaders were successful in capturing our country.These invaders not only ruled India but they robbed India and tried to destroy its civilization and culture. These invaders also tried to impose their rules, laws and religion on the people of India. All this happened only because some people of India cheated their own country for their own benefit. These traitors of India supported the enemies and allowed them to robbed the country.If India had not been traitors, then perhaps India would never have seen slavery. Today in this blog we are going to study about biggest Traitors of India.
1. Ambhi Kumar (The King of Taxila)
Ambhi Kumar was the ruler of Taxila in 331 BCE to 305 BCE. When Alexander reached India in 326 BCE , the kingdom of Taxila was in front of him. Alexander reached India with a Large Army. While the whole of India stood against Alexander, Ambhi Kumar warmly welcomed Alexander. One of the reasons for this was that Ambhi Kumar was jealous of King Porus & Porus was against Alexander. Because King Porus knew that Alexander wanted to take over India. Alexander was able to enter India only because of Ambhi Kumar. Due to which there was a fierce battle between King Porus and Alexander in 326 BCE on the banks of River Jhelum in Punjab. Historians still have different opinions about who won this war. But the only reason for this war was King Ambhi Kumar who did not allow only Alexander to enter India. But also helped Alexander in this war. That is why Ambhi Kumar is also called the first traitor of India.
2. Raja Jayachandra/Jaichand
We all know about The Great King Prithviraj Chauhan. Islamic invasions in India increased in the 12th century.At that time the Power center of India was Delhi and The Great King Prithviraj Chauhan was the king of Delhi. Jaichand was the cousin of King Prithviraj Chauhan & he was the King of Antarvedi country in the Gangetic plains. Jaichand always wanted to rule over Delhi. Because of which he used to get jealous with Prithviraj Chauhan. In 1191, Mohammad Ghori attacked Delhi to capture Delhi. But in this battle, Mohammad Gauri was badly defeated and Prithviraj Chauhan was victorious. After Defeat When Mohammad Gauri started returning after losing, then Jaichand stopped Mohammad Gauri for his selfishness & give him a big army to Attack on Prithviraj Chauhan. This time due to Jaichand’s betrayal, Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated and Mohammad Ghori took him captive. Mohammad Ghori killed Jaichand as soon as he got the power of Delhi and made Prithviraj Chauhan blind. But Prithviraj Chauhan killed Mohammad Ghori by hitting a word piercing arrow with his cleverness. Jaichand’s betrayal not only snatched a great king like Prithviraj Chauhan from India. Rather, after this the Islamic invasion in India increased even more.
3. Raja Maan Singh
Maan Singh was the Raajput King of Amer. He was the General of Mughal emperor (Akbar) & one the nine Gems in the court of Akbar. In the 16th century, with the help of Bairam Khan, Akbar again laid the Mughal dynasty in Delhi.Akbar wanted to rule the whole of India. When Akbar was attacking kingdoms with the dream of capturing the whole of India. At that time Man Singh and his father Bhagwan Das were the first Rajput kings of India who proposed the marriage of their aunt to Akbar. Akbar accepted his offer and thus Akbar entered Rajputana.The result was that except Mewar, all the states accepted the suzerainty of Akbar. Not only this, even when Maharana Pratap was fighting a battle against Akbar alone, Man Singh gave full support to Akbar and also fought a war against Maharana Pratap on behalf of Akbar in the battle of Haldighati. It is not yet clear whether who won the war, but it was because of Man Singh that the Mughals managed to enter Rajputana and the Mughals ruled India for a long time and disturbed the culture, civilization and peace of India.
4. Jayaji Rao Scindia
Jayaji Rao Scindia was the King of Gwalior. He was one of the weakest King of India. In 1853 after the death of King of Jhansi Gangadhara Rao British Govt. Refused to accept Rani Laxmi & Gangadhara Rao’s Son as successor of Jhansi & Captured Jhansi from Rani Laxmi Bai. After that, Rani Laxmi Bai started the movement against the British government. For which Rani Laxmi Bai started trying to unite all the kings of India. Rani Laxmi Bai shook the foundation of the British government in a very short time. Raja Jayaji Rao Scindia was a weak king and he also supported the British government.When Rani Laxmi Bai reached Gwalior to convince Jayaji Rao Scindia, Scindia tried to take Rani Laxmi Bai captive.But by doing this action so, his army turned against him. After which Scindia left the Gwalior fort and fled. And after this, Rani Laxmi Bai once again laid the foundation of the Maratha Empire in the Gwalior Fort. After escaping from the fort, Scindia approached the British government and told them that Rani Laxmi Bai was hiding in the fort of Gwalior. As a result, the British army surrounded Rani Laxmi Bai in the Phool Bagh of Gwalior. And that fierce battle took place in which The Great Queen Rani Laxmi Bai was martyred. This betrayal of Scindia pushed India’s independence further back
5. Mohammad Ali Jinnah
Movements against the British were spreading rapidly in India in the 19th century. The British government was very frightened by these movements. To stop these movements and to maintain its power, the British government was making new rules. But these new rules were very painful for the general public. The Congress Party was formed in 1885 to stop the British government and to give a new way to the country’s politics. Accordingly, the All India Muslim League was formed in 1906 for the benefit of Muslims.The All India Muslim League was formed for the benefit of the Muslims. But speaking against the Congress had become the profession of this party. Troubled by the movements in India, the British government started a fight between Hindus and Muslims in the country. Mohammad Ali Jinnah instigated this fight so much that the country was divided. In 1913, Muhammad Ali Jinnah became the President of the All India Muslim League And he wanted to become the Prime Minister of independent India. But when people did not get the support, they instigated the Muslims. And demanded a separate country for the Muslims. The situation in the country started deteriorating and the result was that India became independent on 15 August 1947.But he got divided into two parts. A part of India was given to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, which was named Pakistan. If Muhammad Ali Jinnah had not instigated the Muslims with treachery, then perhaps India would have been free but it would not have been partitioned. This betrayal of Muhammad Ali Jinnah caused many riots and due to this partition many people became homeless whose pain both country is still facing today.
So these were some traitors of our country, because of which our country was called the golden bird. He had to suffer slavery for many years and the country was divided. Where in our country Porus, Prithviraj Chauhan, Maharana Pratap, Chatarpati Shivaji Maharaj,Rani Laxmi Bai, Mahatama Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad & many people like them who raised the head of the country with pride, there were such traitors in our country too who bowed country heads for their selfishness. These people were sold for their selfish reasons and made the country slave.
