question – What happened to alauddin Khilji after Padmavati died?
Answer – after capturing the Chittorgarh, when he learned that queen padvati had done Jauhar, he was disappointed as his whole purpose of capturing the Chittorgarh was to achieve the queen Padmavati.
Alauddin Khilji was the ruler of Khilji empire, he ruled on Delhi’s Muslim dynasty of India from 1296 to 1316 AD. alauddin Khilji expanded his empire by winning battles and taking lands, he conquered Gujrat and many in southern India. by using strategies he expanded his empire. he knew plenty about how to handle the economy. he introduced systems which helped to manage inflations which will not increase the price suddenly, and helped to decrease the corruption among officials. he handled his religion, by making good govt systems and also he made sure that taxes were collected as well so that his empire kept running smoothly. he contributed his work for making amazing things around Qutub minar, like alai Darwaja.
According to the legend Alauddin Khilji was curious to see the queen Padmavati, according to the poem she was a queen of the place Chittorgarh and she was the wife of the king ratan Singh.
he saw her in a reflection of a mirror, after this he asked the king to give the queen to him as a sign of the peace between them but it didn’t happened. after that he attacked on the Chittorgarh and captured it so that he could get the queen. but, before he could capture , the queen and all the other women committed the Jauhar. Jauhar is when in the times of ancient India where Rajputs faced defeats, the women did Jauhar so that she couldn’t be enslaved. in order to save their honor women used to jump in a big fire. there were three rules in Khilji dynasty .
there are many things from history, as it moves with time, some changes do get mutated in the history, but one thing was sure that padmavat was a real beauty.
it is also said that the jahaur where the padmavati did the self immolation, it was around 700 years ago, and it was in Chittorgarh.
it is important to say here that, the mention of queen padmavati was done only in the poem of Awadhi Language, in the earlier mentions of alauddin Khilji, there was no mention of the name padmavati.
