Prithviraj Sisodia
Prithviraj Sisodia, generally known as Kunwar Prithviraj (born late 15th century; died 16th century), was the eldest son of Maharana Raimal (died 1509) of Mewar and heir apparent of Mewar, of the Sisodia Rajputs. His mother was Jhali Rani Ratan Kanwar. His rapidity of moving from one place to another and lightning speed of attack earned him the title of Udno Rajkumar Prithviraj, the flying prince Prithviraj. He added the regions of Godwar and Ajmer to the territory of Mewar.
Harbilas Sarda wrote "If Prithviraj had been the leader of Indian opposition to Babur, Babur would have ended his days as an unsuccessful adventurer in Khanwa."
Maharana Raimal had 14 sons, of whom Prithviraj was the eldest and heir apparent. Prithviraj's two real brothers were Jaimal and Sangram Singh, who later became the Maharana of Mewar, popularly known as Maharana Sanga (1482–1528). Their mother was Jhali Ratan Kanwar, daughter of Rajdhar Jhala. These three brothers played an important role in shaping Mewar's history.
A Charan woman, who lived at Nahar Magra, had prophesied that Sanga would be the heir to the throne, not Prithviraj. Upon hearing this, Prithviraj attacked Sanga, but Surajmal (cousin of Prithviraj, grandson of Maharana Mokal) interposed himself and took the blow, but that blow still injured Sanga's eye. Sanga, unwilling to attack the heir apparent, left the fight while Surajmal engaged Prithviraj. Sanga succeeded in getting away with five cuts and the loss of an eye. Jagmal chased Sanga, but Sanga was saved by Rathore Bida, who died in the fight at Sewantri. Sanga then remained for a few months under Karamchand Panwar at Shrinagar, near Ajmer.
After Prithviraj's conflict with Sanga, Maharana Raimal forbade Prithviraj his presence. Prithviraj made Kumbhalgarh fort his base and expanded his control over the plains of Godwar, suppressing the Meenas who ravaged the countryside. He also subdued the Balecha and Madrecha Chauhans of Godwar, except for their stronghold of Desuri.
He took the help of Raimal Solanki, who sent his sons Shankar Singh and Samant Singh to attack the Madrechas of Desuri. The Solankis defeated the Madrechas, and Sanda the leader of the Madrechas was killed in the battle. Prithviraj then granted Patta of Desuri with its 140 villages to the Solankis. The Solankis of Jhilwara and Roopnagar are descendants of Shankar Singh and Samant Singh respectively.
Prithviraj then established civil and military authority over the entire Godwar and he appointed administrators, Raimal Solanki for the military and an Ojha for civil administration. The Narlai inscription mentions that Prithviraj remained in charge of Godwar for a considerable time.
Ram Kanwar Bai, daughter of Rana Kumbha Kunwar and aunt of Prithviraj, was married to Mandalik, King of Girnar. When she was alienated from her husband, Prithviraj made a swift march and surprised Mandalik in his palace. He spared his life however and brought Rama Bai back to Mewar. Jawar was conferred upon Ram Kanwar. She built a temple of Rama Swami and a large stepwell here.
