Mohil

According to local tradition, the ruler of Ladaun region, Rao Jai Singh, was once watching a group of women passing through the town gate to fetch water. A menacing bull blocked the road. One of the women, who was a Muslim, took the bull in hand and pushed it out of the way. The Rao was greatly impressed by the woman's show of courage and valour. Thinking that the offspring of such a brave woman would be as brave, the Raja formally proposed marriage with her to her father. The girl gave her consent on the condition that the Raja became a Muslim. The Raja converted, whereupon the marriage was solemnised. Later, the girl discovered the Raja had not given up his faith, but merely pretended to have become a Muslim and was regularly visiting temples. She sent a message to the Delhi Sultan, who invaded Ladnun, defeated the Raja, and forced him to convert to Islam.[1]
