The Battle of Ajmer in the year 592 H. (1196 A.D.), was a significant conflict involving Kutb-ud-din Aibak, the ruler of the Ghurid Empire, and the Mher tribe, residing near Ajmer.[5][6]

Background[edit]

Towards the end of 592 H., Kutb-uddin-Aibak faced a formidable threat from the Mher tribe, supported by the Raja of Nagor and other Hindu Rajas. The Raja of Nahrwala also aimed to reclaim Ajmer from Muslim control and expel the Turks from Rajputana.[7]

Battle[edit]

The battle commenced, and Kutb-ud-din Aibak's forces confronted the Rajputs. Aibak sustained severe injuries during the skirmish, with reports suggesting he received six wounds. The Muslim army, unable to withstand the Rajput onslaught, was compelled to retreat from the battlefield[8]

But when Shahbuddin Ghori’s viceroy in India, Kuttubuddin Aibak, launched a campaign of conquest upon Rajasthan, the young widow of Vikram Singh and mother of minor King Kama, Rani Karunya Kuman, donned the armour and led her chiefs into battle against the Turko- Afghan general. In a battle that was fought at Ajmer in 1 196, Aibak was badly defeated and himself wounded. He saved himself by taking shelter in the ramparts of Ajmer.[9]

As a result of the battle, Kutb-ud-din Aibak and his army were forced to flee from the field of battle, marking a setback for the Delhi Sultanate's expansion into the region.

The Battle of Ajmer highlighted the ongoing tensions between the Delhi Sultanate and the Rajput rulers of Rajputana, underscoring the complex socio-political dynamics of medieval India.[10]
