===========================
Most of the historians had focus on only the 19 kingdoms of Rajasthan. Most of these
kingdoms were ruled by Rajput People. Most of the Rajput People were used to hate lower
caste and poor people because Brahmin People had created a social class system to
depress poor people.
NOTE: Most of the Rajput People were used to discriminate lower caste people. Brahman
People had declared themselves as the hire social class. Poor and lower caste Hindi
People were discriminated in Bharat. Lower class people were discriminated because they
were black colored and poor. So, Harijan People had dishonored by corrupt people in
Bharat.
NOTE: “Harijan People were kept poor in Bharat so they can live in the poverty as a slave
of corrupt people. Shuder, Ramdas, Bheel, Meena, or Harijan were declared as lower
social class by Brahmans. Harijan were kept as a slave of Brahaman and corrupt people”,
Prithvi Veer.
Many historians wrote lots of books about the kingdoms of Rajasthan. These were total 19
kingdoms and these kingdoms were dominated by Rajput People. These kingdoms were
formed in the Madhya Kaal (medieval time) of Bharat. However, historians of Bharat did
not dare to tell or write about the ancient (Pracheen Kaal) kingdoms of Rajasthan. Most of
the Ancient kingdoms of Rajasthan were ruled by Bheel and Meena People. So, the Bheel
and Meena People are the real Native People of Rajasthan.
NOTE: There is no doubt that during the ancient time Rajasthan came under the control of
other great empires, but Bheel and Meena People were regional rulers. During the ancient
time, Rajasthan Region was under Morya and Harshvardhan Empires; and Bheel People
were the ruler of small regional kingdoms.
NOTE: The kingdoms of Bheel and Meena People were formed in ancient time and keep
increasing in the medieval time.
The Kingdoms of Rajasthan are written below from the beginning of these kingdoms till
present time. The history of these kingdoms are also provided. Most of the books and
historians of Bharat did not express about the ancient or old kingdoms of Rajasthan.
NOTE: We are going to provide enough information that we have gathered and searched
about the Itihaas of Rajasthan. There is no any website in the world that provides great
information about the Itihaas (history) of Bheel, Meena, and Rajasthan on one website.
“We are the biggest website of Itihaas of Rajasthan in the Bharat”, Prithvi Veer.
1. Dungar Raj:
Dungaria Bheel (Bhil) was one of the great warrior and king of Bheel People. During 1345
ADE, Dungaria Bheel was the king of Dungar Region, west central part of the Vagad
Region. Life of Dungaria Bheel was full of Adventures. The Kingdom of Dungaria was
flourishing and his people were brave archer. Even today, Dungaria Bheel is popular in the
cultural stories of Rajasthan.
Around 1358 ADE, Dungaria Bheel wanted to marry the daughter of Mahajan Sala Shah,
businessman. Sala Shah had agreed about the marriage of his daughter with Dungaria.
But, Sala Shah conspired with Maharawal Veer Singh against Dungaria. On the wedding
day Dungaria was intoxicated and assassinated by Veer Singh and Sala Shah.
There were two widows of Dungaria Bheel. It was the will of Dungaria’s widows and his
people to establish a town after his name. Dungarpur was established in the name of
Dungaria Bheel in 1358. It was in Dungarpur where Dungaria Bheel was assassinated.
Dungaria was a brave man and great warrior of Bheel People.
Nowadays, Dungarpur is a small southern district of Rajasthan. Dungarpur is still a part of
Bagar or Vagad Region.
I believe that “The day will come when Bheel People will live in peace with all kinds of Hindi
People in Bharat. Bheel People will have their own homes and respect in the society just
like other simple Hindi (hindu) People”, Prithvi Veer.
NOTE: Vagad Region is also known as Bagar Region.
NOTE: In old days, Bheel and Meena People were treated as lower social class people.
Bheel and Meena People were discriminated and hated by some Rajput People, higher
social class. That is why Dungaria was killed by Rajput People. “Classism is just an
excuse in Bharat, jealousy and greed are the motives to depress people of lower social
class”, Prithvi Veer.
===============================
2. Bansi Raj:
Bansia was other powerful warrior and king of Bheel People. Bansia was a nice king of
Bansi Region, an area controlled and ruled by Bansia. Bansi Raj (kingdom) was an eastern
part of Vagad Region. People of Bansi Raj were great devotees of God Bhairoo.
The life of Bansi was not very different than the Dungaria Bheel. Around 1529 ADE, Bansi
was killed by other Rawal Jagmal Singh who occupied the kingdom of Bansia. Most of the
Bheel People were very nice and descent, but their kindness had no value for powerful
greedy people.
Banswara was named after Bansia, the king of Bheel People. Most of the Bheel People
and great Bheel Kings were killed by many Rajput Kings due to greediness and jealousy.
Now, most of the Bheel People are poor and homeless. Bheel People are kept poor so
that they can serve to greedy people. The land of Bheel People had taken away by greedy
Rajput kings.
=================================
3. Kotia Raj:
Kotia Raj (kingdom) was among the famous kingdoms of Bheel People. Kotia Bheel was
one of the genius warrior kings of Bheel People and Rajasthan. Kotia Bheel was a king of
Akelgarh and Kotia Raj, region ruled by Kotia. Akelgarh is located on eastern side of
Chambel River (nadi).
Kotia Bheel was a genius general with great military skills. Kotia had built a fort at Akelgarh
and erected a mud wall ranging from Akelgarh to Retwali. Kotia knew that fortification was
necessary for his kingdom and people. Jait Sing had raised a war against Kotia Bheel and
his people in 1264 ADE.
Kotia Raj was not a powerful kingdom compare to Bundi Raj (kingdom). Jait Singh had
conquered the Akelgarh and Kotia Raj. Later on, Kotia region began
to known as Kota. Kota had become part of Bundi, a Kingdom of Hadoti.
Kotia Raj was a great kingdom of Bheel People.
NOTE: In 1579 ADE, Kota was separated by Rao Ratan Singh as a gift to his younger son,
Madho Singh. And, Kota become separate kingdom from Hadoti.
