The empire of this emperor of India was destroyed because of love

Baj Bahadur-Rupmati's love

Mandu is a historical city in Dhar district of Malwa region of
Madhya Pradesh state. Which spreads over the steep slopes of the Vindhya
Mountains, 100 km away from Indore. Mandu is the original form of the word 'Mandapa'.
In the 11th century Mandu belonged to Tarangagar or Taranga Kingdom. However,
even earlier, Mandu was a prosperous town in the sixth century AD. At that
time, a wave of protest movement arose across the country. At that time an
inscription was discovered at Talanpur Kheke, 100 km from Mandu.It was written
there, a merchant named Chandra Singh installed an idol of Parswanath in a fort
of 'Mandap' or 'Mandu'. The city is named after this 'Mandu'. The then Sultan
of Delhi Alauddin Khilji conquered this city in 1305 AD.

Afghan ruler Dilawar Khan was the ruler of Malwa. His son
Hoshang Shah moved his capital from Dhar to Mandu. After this, Mandu was ruled
by a branch of the Khilji dynasty for several decades. The period of Muhammad
Khilji and his son Ghiyasuddin Khilji is called the Golden Age of Mandu. After
that, there was a power struggle between the Afghans and the Mughals around
Mandu for hundreds of years. Finally, Emperor Akbar conquered Mandu and annexed
it to the Mughal Empire. Even after that, the rule of this city went to the
hands of the Marathas.

But among all these, Mandu is famous for the love story of Baj
Bahadur and Rani Rupmati. Baz Bahadur was the last Afghan emperor of Mandu.
Then its power passed into the hands of the Mughals. Baj Bahadur was more
preoccupied with Rani Rupmati than fighting. It is said that Emperor Baz
Bahadur was impressed by the singing of a herdsman girl once while hunting.
That young lady is the next queen Rupmati. On the other hand, Rani Rupmati was
a poet as well.

But this love story had tragic
consequences. Baz Bahadur lost his life in the attack of the Mughal army. Rani
Rupmati committed suicide by drinking poison. Another architectural wonder of
Mandu is the Jahaj Mahal. Hoshang Shah Ghori's tomb is one of the architectural
highlights of Mandu. The Taj Mahal in Agra was later built on the site of his
mausoleum.
