The legendary tripartite struggle, the quest for Indian dominance, unbridled yet marvellous conflicts, rivers of sweet words and deep literature, stories of yore, and an enemy at the door waiting to decimate, to turn it all sour. Wherever we look, we find strong kings but one still stands apart as perhaps the greatest of them all. King Mihir Bhoja Pratihar – the torchbearer of Rajputs and the sword […] - [Emperor Mihirbhoj Pratihar: Saving his legacy from vote bank politics](https://yashodharman.com/emperor-mihirbhoj-pratihar-saving-his-legacy-from-vote-bank-politics/): Author: Adityakrishna Deora, Published on TOI Voice The birth anniversary of Rajput Emperor Mihirbhoj Parihar, one of the greatest rulers of the ninth century, is being celebrated across north India on October 18. Celebrations are particularly notable in historical towns of Pratihars (their descendants are now known as Parihar Rajputs) like Mandore, Bhinmal, Kannauj, Gwalior, and Nagod. Ironically, the celebrations have not been limited to prominent Rajput organizations like Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Mahasabha and Kshatriya Yuvak Sangh, but some groups from the Gujjar community too have joined in too. The last two decades have been witness to distortion of Rajput history […] - [Why historical “Gurjara” is not same as caste-name Gujjar: A Historical Perspective](https://yashodharman.com/why-historical-gurjara-is-not-same-as-caste-name-gujjar-a-historical-perspective/): One has often seen the terms ‘Gurjara’ and Gujjar’ being used interchangeably. Do both terms mean the same thing? If that were the case, then why are these two terms different instead of having just one standard term? A deep dive into history throws up clear answers and tell us the difference between Gurjara pradesh and Gujjar community. If we go back into history, one of the first mentions of ‘Gurjara’ in Harshacharita, a Sanskrit work authored by King Harsha’s court poet Bana around 640 AD. The relevant verse describes the military success of king Prabhakarvardhan against kings of various regions […] - [Privacy Policy](https://yashodharman.com/privacy-policy-2/): Who we are Suggested text: Our website address is: https://yashodharman.com.

Belonging to the Second Aulikara royal house of the great Malava clan, he ruled from the imperial seat of Dashapura (present-day Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh). Under his leadership, the Aulikaras transitioned from regional feudatories into claims of supreme sovereignty—most famously through his joint victory at the Battle of Sondani (528 CE) where he decisively defeated the Huna king Mihirakula, curtailing the Hun advance into India. Inscriptions at Mandsaur (the famous Mandsaur pillar inscriptions) proclaim Yashodharman’s dominion from the Brahmaputra […] - [Home](https://yashodharman.com/home/): Objectives: At Yashodharman – A Parmar Rajput Website, we seek to: The Malav-Parmar Rajput Story: An Overview Discover the origins, history, and legacy of the Parmār (Parmar or Panwar Rajputs).
