#Thread on Hammiradeva's victory over Alauddin Khilji's army at the Battle of Hindavat (~1300 CE)
Alauddin commanded Ulugh Khan to invade Hammiradeva's country with an army of 1,00,000 horse

Ulugh Khan's army marched into the Chahamana territory like an 'irresistible torrent'.
In a war council, the Hindu king decided to deploy Virama & 8 other generals to fight Ulugh Khan.

The generals decided to fall upon the Izlamic army from all the 8 directions!
Direction - Leading General
E - Virama
W - Mahimashahi
S - Jajadeva
N - Garbharuka
SE - Ratipala
NW - Tichar Mongol
NE - Ranamalla
SW - Vaichara

The Rajputs set to their work with vigour. Some of them filled enemy entrenchments with earth & rubbish (for unbroken movement during battle)
Others set fire to the wooden fortifications of the Muhammadans. The ropes of their tents were also cut to cause chaos.
[ 5 ]
The Mu$lims still vainly boasted 'they would mow down Rajputs like grass'
Both sides fought with desperate courage, but the Muhammadans were neutralised due to repeated attacks of Rajputs.
[ 6 ]
The whole Muhammadan army *FLED* the battle, leaving Rajputs the complete masters of the field.
Hammiradeva Chahamana was very delighted with this remarkable victory, and rewarded Ratipala with a golden chain. Rest of the generals were rewarded too.

Ulugh Khan retired to Delhi after his defeat. He was labelled a 'coward' by his brother Alauddin Khilji.
Talk about a l0ser. 😃 #DefeatChampions
