30 lakh years ago, Ara’valli ranges was under the sea.

The old Digambar Jains used Singh title. Raja Pratapaditya of Bengal had defeated Akbar twice. Thereafter Mansingh was sent against Pratapaditya. Mansingh sent chains and sword to Pratapaditya. The latter accepted sword and sent back chains for Mansingh and said, ‘I take sword and send chains for you since you are already in chains’.
In the battle Pratapaditya was defeated and made a prisoner, but he committed suicide, enroute to Agra at Varanasi. As a result Jaipur to which place Mansingh belonged, became very unpopular in Bengal and Bengal Rajputs left using ‘Singh’ title-tatha’pi singhah pashure- Vásti: (though a lion, but still it is an animal ).
The relations got improved after Maharaja of Jaipur was married to Gayatri Devi, sister of Raja Dwipendra Bahadur, of Tripura. Rajputs had two basic demerits, because of which they were defeated in battles: (1) fighting without proper preparation; (2) No unity.
Without these demerits the history of India would have been different. The above lapses were the cause of the fall of Rajputs; lack of these demerits was the cause of Maratha victory, the cause of Rajput defeat was lack of fire-arms and lack of unity. If in western India Rajputs and Marathas would have united a great work would have been done.
Dumraj:
- was the Commander of Ajmer fort
- had decided to fight to the end
- was a great warrior
