They had to understand — they hadn't laid down their weapons. He'd had no way of knowing if they'd come seeking war.

 They had to understand — they had broken the pride of the Rito, forced a surrender with ancient technology they had no real right to, and had the gall to sit at a table and expect to be fed afterwards.

His reign marked a significant period of political upheaval and military conflict in the region, as he sought to establish and consolidate his authority over the diverse and fractious territories of Bengal.

The Myth of Kalapahad

Most people in Odisha have heard about Kalapahad as the destroyer of temples, especially for his blitz on Jagannath Temple at Puri and Sun Temple at Konark after the attack on Barabati Fort.

Nonetheless, the identity of Kalapahad is shrouded in mystery as very little is known about him for sure. When he attacked Barabati Fort in 1568, it was as a general of Afghan army of the Muslim Sultan of Bengal to conquer Odisha.

What happened when he attacked Barabati Fort? The puzzle of the death of Mukunda Dev, the last independent Hindu ruler of Odisha and what followed the fall of Barabati Fort may never be solved, but were the legends about the 16 th century’s most ferocious Afghan general a myth that gained currency three centuries later?

Kalapahad attacked Barabati Fort when Mukunda Dev who was then ruling Odisha was away engaged in battle with the Sultan of Bengal Sulaiman Karrani on the banks of Ganga.The Afghan general led another wing of the Sultan’s army to Cuttack. Nothing much is known about what followed except from folklores. In one of his poems – Kalapahad - based on folktales Godavarish Mishra wrote: "Aaila Kalapahad Bhangila Luhara bada, Peeila Mahanadi pani Suvarna thalire heda parasile Mukundadevanka rani." (Then came Kalapahad, Broke the Iron gates. His army drank the waters of Mahanadi, the queen of Mukunda Deva served beef to Kalapahad in a plate of gold)This Odia couplet became well known in Odisha in the 19th century. A century later in his book Barabati Durga (The Fort of Barabati) Krupasindhu Misra wrote: “Aaila Kalapahad Bhangila Luhara bada, Peeila Mahanadi pani Suvarna thalire heera parasile Mukundadevanka rani''.

 The substituting of the word Heda (Beef) with Heera (Diamond) obscured the situation during the fall of Barabati. While the use of Heda indicated that dishonour was meted out to Mukunda Dev’s Queen by being forced to serve beef to Kalapahad, the use of Heera suggested Queen’s appeasement of Kalapahad through presentation of diamonds and preventing ransacking of the fort. 

Five years ago, an Odia play was staged on the premises of the Jagannath Temple at Ukkunagaram in Visakhapatnam. Artists of Sanskruti Vihar, Cuttack staged it. The report published on it in The Hindu on July 14, 2016 dateline said the play showed how Kalapahad managed his way to the palace destroying everything valuable on the way and tried to outrage the modesty of the Queen but she committed suicide. The play was scripted by Chandra Sekhar Nanda. But there is no historical evidence to corroborate it.

 The circumstance of the death of Mukunda Dev is also riddled with inconsistencies.  While some believe Mukunda Dev was killed by Ramachandra Bhanja, the feudatory chief of Sarangagarh who proclaimed himself as king of Odisha at Gohiritikira near the present-day Jajpur town, some say he was killed by Kalapahad.

 After the fall of Barabati Fort, Kalapahad turned to attack Mukunda Dev, who by then had been defeated by Sulaiman Karanni and taking shelter in the fort of Kotsima. As per the Khurda manuscript two agents of Mukunda Dev betrayed him. With their help Kalapahad took the jungle path and attacked his army from the rear. Mukunda Dev was defeated and killed in the battle.

 With the Afghan invaders left unchallenged after the death of Mukunda Dev, the Barabati Fort passed into the hands of the Afghan Muslims and Odisha was thus conquered by the Sultan of Bengal in 1568.

 Some believe Kalapahad was a Hindu Brahmin. His real name was Kalachand Roy. He converted to Islam after falling in love with Bengal Sultan’s daughter Dulaari. Later, he wanted to reconvert, but the priests at Jagannath Temple declined and he took out his wrath by attacking Hindu Temples. But leading historians believe he had Afghan origin.

 In his History of Bengal Ghulam Hussain Salim wrote in 1788: “Of the miracles of Kalapahar, one was this, that wherever in the country, the sound of his drum reached, the hands and the feet, the ears and the noses of the idols, worshipped by the Hindus, fell off their stone figures, so that even now stone-idols, with hands and feet broken, and noses and ears cut off, are lying at several olaces in that country”.

 Sometime in February 2016, scholars deliberated over the iconoclastic portrayal of Kalapahad at a seminar held at the National Archives of India Records Centre in Bhubaneswar.

There was by and large a consensus among the participating historians and researchers that Kalapahad attacked Odisha in 1568, but myths about him started doing the rounds three centuries later.

 In Odisha during the Odia language revolution in 19th century he was portrayed as an ardent Jagannath follower who turned vindictive when he was not allowed to enter the temple. In Bengal he was seen as standing against Brahmanical oppression in plays and novels.

Some temples were destroyed during Kalapahad’s attack on Odisha. The scholars believed that his attack on Jagannath Temple in Puri is limited to legends fraught with inventions and not corroborated by facts. The destruction of the Sun Temple at Konark is also incorrectly attributed to him.

Such stories by way of literary medium of legends created the myth of Kalapahad. Was there a method behind it?

Realized that I didn't ever post this anywhere, but at one point I made Karranis' theme. Probably should go back at some point and work on it again but I am very proud of that major-minor chord.

Salim Shah Suri treated his nobles severely. He trusted nobody, but few persons like Daulat Khan Ulaja, Taj Khan Karrani, Isa Khan Hijab and Muhammad Shah Fermuli. Many revolts occurred during his reign, and he spend most of his time in crushing those.

Salim Shah was anxious about the future of his only son Prince Firoz Shah; as he always suspected the evil intentions of his cousin Mubariz Khan [Ahmad Yadgar calls him Mamrez Khan], who was also the brother of his wife Bibi Bai.

Battle of Tukaroi

Battle of Tukaroi, (March 3, 1575), conflict between the forces of the Indian Mughal emperor Akbar under Munʿīm Khan and Dāʾūd Khan, the Afghan sultan of Bengal. The battle, which took place at a village between Midnapore and Jalesar in western Bengal, was decisive in scattering the Bengali army.

On 3rd March, 1575 AD, Indian Mughal Emperor Akbar defeated the Bengali army at the Battle of Tukaroi. The Battle was fought near the village of Tukaroi now in Balasore District of Odisha in India. This battle was between The Mughal Empire and the Sultanate of Bangala and Bihar. During the early Muslim period, the former Sena Hindu kingdom became known as the Sultanate of Bangala and Bihar, ruled intermittently from the Sultanate of Delhi. The chaotic shifts in power between the Afghan and Turkish rulers of that sultanate came to an end when Mughal rule became established in Bengal during the sixteenth century. During the reign of Akbar, the third ruler of the Mughal Dynasty in India, the Sultan of Bangala was Daud Khan Karrani, who had seized the Fort Zamania a frontier post of the Mughal Empire. This gave Akbar the cause for war. Akbar prepared a fleet of elaborately equipped boats to proceed down the rivers towards Agra. He embarked on the voyage accompanied by many of his best officers, Hindu and Muslim. The rainy season being then at its height was hazardous and many mishaps occurred. After traveling for 26 days Akbar reached Benares where he halted for three days. He then proceeded to where the Gomti River joins the Ganges River. On the same day, the army which had marched by land arrived. The whole movement evidently had been thought out and executed with consummate skill in the face of tremendous difficulties due to the weather. Although Daud had at his disposal 20,000 horses, a large park of artillery and many elephants, he came to the conclusion that he could not resist the imperial power and decided to flee. During the night he slipped out quietly and went to Bengal. The garrison which attempted to escape suffered heavy losses in the process. The capture of so great a city in the middle of the rainy season was an almost unprecedented achievement and a painful surprise to the Bengal Sultan.

Black Hills

Black Hills

Sulaiman Karrani, a Mughal ruler of Bengal, was called Kalapahad. According to some historical records, he was the Hindu (Oriya) commander of Mukundadev, the last emperor of Kalinga-Utkal, a caste leader and his name was Rajiv Lochan Rai. He converted to Islam. According to Sheikh Kabir's wife, Kalapahad was an Afghan. He was popularly known as Kalapahad. He occupied parts of Odisha for the Afghan rulers of Bengal. The Black Hills were very cruel, he was the son of Akbar's father's cousin

Conversion-- Suleiman the Magnificent was appointed governor of Bengal by the Mughal emperor Akbar. Mukundadev enlisted the help of Suleiman to defeat his enemy Gajapati Raja Ramchandra Bhanj. With the help of Rajiv, Suleiman wanted to defeat other kings. He invited Rajiv and met his beautiful daughter. Rajiv fell in love with the girl. If Muslims converted to Islam, Suleiman would marry, but Rajiv wanted to marry a Hindu. But when the news reached Mukundadev, he did not agree to the marriage, so Rajiv angrily changed the name of the girl by marrying the girl. He later repented and came to the Puri Jagannath Temple to express his desire to convert to Hinduism again. The Brahmins did not agree. Outraged, Suleiman and Rajiv (Kalapahad) invaded Odisha in 1568. Cuttack, Jajpur, Sambalpur, Puri and Konark were attacked and the temples destroyed. The demolition of the Konark temple-- The Madala Panji is said to have destroyed the Kalapahad Konark temple. He was able to break down the 20-foot wall in the temple. He demolished the temple and destroyed most of the idols. Gradually, the temple's facade was demolished.

Black Hills Cemetery-- Kalapahad and his troops were buried in the mango orchard on the banks of the river near Samaleswari College in Sambalpur. In 2004, some locals destroyed the tomb.
