Devat Bodar - History

Devat Bodar (around 900 AD - 1025AD) was an important person with the help of whom, RaNavghan, King of Junagadh and father of Rakhengar, had taken the throne of Junagadh. Devat Bodar sacrified his own son "Uga" to save RaNavghan from solanki king who de-throned and killed, RaDiyas, father of RaNavghan. Maid of RaDiyas handed little child(RaNavghan) of RaDiyas to Devat Bodar.



Devat Bodar promised that he will do whatever it takes protect RaNavghan and to give back his kingdom of Junagadh. Devat Bodar raised RaNavghan and his own son Uga together till they reached at the age of 12. Someone informed King Solanki about that RaNavghan had been raised by Devat Bodar. Devat Bodar was brought to King's Court and was asked that whether the information is true or not. Devat Bodar understood the situation and replied positively. King asked him to bring RaNavghan. Devat Bodar brings his own son instead of RaNavghan. As no one knows who is RaNavghan and who is Uga, King tested him, by asking him to kill RaNavghan(who was actually Uga) by his own hands. Devat Bodar cuts off the head of his son, to prove that to King that he was not his son but was RaNavghan. King was still not satisfied.

So, he asked to bring Devat Bodar's wife Sonal and asked her to remove eyes from the head of dead Uga, keep it on ground, and walk on that eyes, without dropping even one drop of tear from her own eyes. As, it was such a cruel and hard test for a mother, but Sonbai did that to prove that he was not her son. Finally, King comes to a conclusion that person whose head was cut off was RaNavghan. After that 10 years passed away, RaNavghan was young now. Devat Bodar who was leader of his caste, Bodar(Ahir), called his fellow Bodar(Ahir) to fight against King Solanki to de-throne him and give throne of Junagadh to RaNavghan, son of RaDiyas.

Ahir caste warriors who are still known for his valour and bravery fights a severe battle with King Solanki. Atlast, Solanki losses the battle. RaNavghan was throned as King of Junagadh. "Ra" dynasty comeback as a ruling dynasty with the help of Bodar(Ahir) Today there is two wells constructed by RaNavghan is still there in Junagadh UpperKot fort.

  4. Ae mere vatan ke logo jara ankh me bhar lo pani....this song was written by kavi pradeep. if Story behind this song was is not known I am telling to india. In 1962 china war a batalion of 120 indian jawan fought with a brigade of 10000 thousand solders of chineese army . They fought bravely for many days. When they lost all their bullets an food indian jawans started fighting with knife and sangeen of their gun and killed many chineese jawan, 120 jawan of indian army killed around many thousands of chineese solders. The story of this great war published in washington post, the great story of great indian solders how they fought without food and bullets and killed thousands of chineese invadors in chusul valley. To read this story kavi pradeep had written the song Ae mere vatan ke logo...and lata mangeshkar sung this song which is as popular and patriotik as ever. I am proud to tell you that out of 120 indian jawan 119 were AHIRs and their leader major shaitan singh bhatti was rajput of jaisalmer. Bhatti rajput are also decent from old yadav communiy, so all 120 lion of the great indo china war were yadav, song was respected by all but I am waiting for disclosure of fact behind song, in the same war out of 120 indian jawan 114 became shaheed and chineese army could not captured the indian post. Naman to all ahir jawan.
