Rebellion of Jatwan

The Rebellion of Jatwan was a revolt staged by Jatwan aganist the Ghurid empire in 1192 CE. The Ghurids defeated the rebel forces and Jatwan was killed in the battle.

In 1192, soon after the second battle of Tarain, Jatwan, a subordinate of Prithviraj Chauhan, besieged Hansi, which came under Ghurid rule after the battle. After the defeat of Prithviraj in 1192 A.D., Jatwan raised the standard of revolt, and besieged the Muslim commander Nasrat Uddin at Hansi. On receiving this news Qutb-ud-din marched twelve farsakhs, i.e., about 40 miles during one night. Jatwan raised the siege of Hansi and prepared for an obstinate conflict. "The armies attacked each other" says the author of Taj-ul-Maasir "like two hills of steel, and the field of battle [on the borders of the Bager country] became tulip-dyed with the blood of warriors ... Jatwan had his standards of God-plurality and ensigns of perdition lowered by the hand of power".
