Surya and Parimal were the brave daughters of King Dahir Sen, who bravely and cleverly ended the devil Qasim and Hajjaj and attained Veergati.
Dahir Sen became the king in 679 AD after the death of King Chach, the most majestic Brahmin of Sindh. Like Raja Chach, Raja Dahir was a very brave and skilled fighter. He also got rid of sixes of Muslim invaders.
It is about the time when Hajjaj bin Yusuf, the governor of the Caliphate, was sitting on the throne of Baghdad. Once the Caliph and Hajjaj were getting beautiful women from Lanka by ship for their sensual lust. Arabic historian writes that the Arabs used to call Sri Lanka the island of gems because of the beautiful women. On its way to Damascus and Baghdad, the ship stopped at Dewal port. When Arab devils tried to take some women captive from there, the border guards killed all the Arabs and freed the captives. The Khalifa and Hajjaj were very disappointed and declared Jihad against India. Historian HM Elliot writes, "These ruthless fanatics openly lived their lustful life in luxury and sensuality, and they propagated this type of religion all around."
Hajjaj sent a detachment led by Saeed and Muzza to India to attack, who were killed by Dahir on the banks of Makran. Then sent Ubaidullah and Budail, they were also killed. Then there was peace for many years. Then when Walid became the Caliph, Hajjaj sent a cruel devil like him, Mohammed bin Qasim, to attack with brutal fighters. Qasim attacked Dahir with all his might, but Dahir's soldiers reminded him of Chhathi's milk. After several days of fierce fighting, when his minister, terrified of Qasim's cruelty, spoke of a peace treaty, Dahir said, "What peace with him? They are raping our women, robbing them and selling them in the Arab market, converting our temples into mosques and forcibly converting Hindus into Muslims by the use of swords and killing them if they refuse. "
On the talk of a treaty of a minister, he cut his neck in anger. He fought with valor and stabbed Qasim for sixes. But unfortunately for India and Indians, the political Buddhists of Nironkot and Sivastan, who were jealous of the Hindus, betrayed and helped the devil Qasim heavily (historian Rai Majumdar Choudhury has supported this view). His 1 With the help, Qasim deceitfully sent some of his soldiers to Dahir's army in a group of local women disguised as women during the night. Due to the crying voices, King Dahir came to their aid and Kasim took advantage of the darkness and attacked the "Lonely Dahir". Dahir kept fighting among thousands of killers, his sword broke, then spears pierced him. Fighting by taking out the spear from the body, then the arrows pierced him and he attained martyrdom. Qasim took control of Alor, the capital of Sindh. But the road was still not easy for Qasim. Dahir's wife Maina Bai conducted military operations from inside the fort of Raor and soured Qasim's teeth but eventually the Muslims were able to conquer the fort and the women of the fort committed Jauhar along with the queen.
Hajjaj sent a message to Qasim, "Don't give any chance to the infidels. Immediately behead them…this is the order of Allah.”
Rani Bai, the second wife of Raja Dahir, fought fiercely with Qasim's army with her son Jaisimha from the fort of Berhamnabad. The two daughters of King Dahir born from these, Surya Devi and Parimal Devi, were engaged in the care of the wounded soldiers day and night. In Qasim's army the newly formed Muslims who till yesterday considered Dahir as their king were also added. Nevertheless, Jaisimha freed the sixes of Qasim's army through guerrilla warfare. For six months Qasim was under siege. When brother Jaisimha went to Kashmir for help, both the sisters took the front in his place. Here the Muslims burnt the crops, mixed the poison in the water bodies. But if things did not work out, once again deceit was used and some traitors opened the gate of the fort at night and then 16000 people were massacred after capturing the fort. Both daughters of Raja Dahir 2 Suryadevi and Parimal Devi were taken captive and sent to Caliph Walid.
Dahir's two daughters Sundar and Komalangi Veer Balas reached Damascus with loot and a herd of slaves. His service was made successful and muscular. Historian Elliot writes, “The Caliph Walid asked the interpreter to find out the elder one so that the elder could be enjoyed first and the younger one later. Keeping the elder with him, the Caliph sent the younger back to the harem. The Khalifa was mesmerized by her beauty. He put his hand on her seductive body, pulled it towards him.” His passion flared up and he was eager to fill her arms as soon as possible when the sun goddess, retreating at the speed of lightning, stood up and said, “What a rule this is. It's yours. For the first three nights, Kasim kept both of us sisters with him and then sent them to you. Perhaps it is the custom among you to eat the leftovers of your servants.”
The arrow had hit the target. At the request of the Caliph Walid, suddenly the pots went to the water. Shaking angrily, he ordered Qasim to be produced immediately after being confined in a bull's skin. The order was executed and a few days later the dead body of Qasim was enclosed in a bull's skin and presented before the Caliph. The caliph called the two sisters and said, "Look how my men have obeyed me"
Suryadevi said with a soft smile, “No doubt your orders have been fulfilled. But your mind is completely empty. Qasim didn't even touch me. But that devil killed our king, destroyed our country, destroyed our honor and thrown us into the quagmire of slavery. That's why we lied for vengeance and revenge. He had imprisoned and raped ten thousand women like us, killed many rulers, defiled hundreds of temples and made mosques and minarets. (Elliott &Dawson, page 211)
Caliph Walid went numb. Historians say that in a strong wave of mourning, the Caliph cut off his palm, he had become very foolish. The shame, grief and mistake of having put his trusted executioner to death struck him so hard that he soon died. Hajjaj, a devil like himself, died of shock before the tragic death of his nephew and son-in-law Qasim.
In this way, both those brave girls put to death the three enemies of India with their intelligence and bravery. Now it was his turn to sacrifice himself. The new Caliph Suleiman was mad at the wonderful beauty of both of them. With a strong desire to enjoy them, he fought hard to convince them, but seeing his fierce form, he did not dare to play with his honor due to fear of life. In the compulsion of his anger, he inflicted terrible torture on those Bir girls who were demonic. He ordered these two Bir girls to be dragged on the streets of Damascus by tying them to the tail of a horse. The rags of his body were torn, but he could not erase the pride and smile of victory over his eyes and lips. Blessed are such brave girls of India. We salute him wholeheartedly!
1. Some other historians are of the opinion that the male demon Kasim took many village chiefs and their female children hostage. They threatened to rape and sell the women and kill the children, so that the village headman and the men and women agreed to obey Kasim. Then all the men of the village were taken hostage and sent their women along with their soldiers to King Dahir shouting Save Save. After the death of King Dahir, everyone was forcibly converted to Islam and some of these chieftains also fought against the sons of Raja Dahir.
2. Historian Purushottam Nagesh Oak is of the opinion that Surya Devi and Parimal Devi, both the daughters of King Dahir, took the fire samadhi with their mother Rani Bai in the fort of Berhamnabad. Caliph Walid had heard about the beauty of Dahir's two daughters, so he was pressurizing Qasim to send those two girls. Qasim was doing an orgy of terror and kidnapping of women in Sindh to trace them. That's why two brave girls with the help of a woman introduced themselves as Surya Devi and Parimal Devi. Among them, Surya Devi has been identified as Janaki.
