Q129 (UPPCS/2022) History & Culture › Medieval India

From which place Jayata and Kumpa were associated who impressed Shershah with their valour ?

Explanation

Jaita (Jayata) and Kumpa were the legendary Rajput generals of Rao Maldeo, the ruler of Marwar. They are renowned for their extraordinary bravery during the Battle of Sammel (also known as the Battle of Giri-Sammel) in 1544 AD against the Afghan emperor Sher Shah Suri. Despite being outnumbered and facing Sher Shah's deceptive tactics, which aimed to create distrust between the generals and their king, Jaita and Kumpa fought with such ferocity that the Suri army was nearly defeated. Impressed and shaken by their valour, Sher Shah Suri famously remarked, "For a handful of bajra (millet), I had nearly lost the empire of Hindustan," referring to the arid kingdom of Marwar.
