SACRIFICE OF ALIYA RAMA RAYA OF VIJAYANAGAR

Dr K Prabhakar Rao

With a sparkle beaming in his bright eyes
And vigor reflected in his wrinkled face
The crown shining on the head
Rama raya entered the tent of Hussein Nizam shah with grace
His hands lay behind tied with fetters
Devoid of his glorious vicious sword
That vanquished Sultans several times before
Silence fell on the camp and none spoke a word

His head was held high as a peak
Although death stared at him oh dear
He face was free of fear and remorse
Raya stood towering without slightest fear
Hussein shah rose from his seat
While holding a naked sword in his hand
He walked to Raya standing with majestic grace
Who sacked many times his ill gotten land

“ Are you not guilty of mayhem and murder?
Vandalized Muslims homes when your troops streamed
The holy book Koran was desecrated by you
I hold you guilty” loudly the sultan screamed
“No “replied the composed king with gait”
Had I been anti Muslim to the core
How come I have Muslim troops?
They crossed swords with you several times before

I have built mosques for my Muslim troops
That they worship Allah the great and mighty
You have no case in real against me” the Raya quipped
“In war the defeat and victory are in the hands of destiny”
“Are not you nor scared of death” The sultan asked
“Not at all” the Raya replied looking bright
“Sultans anger had no limits and bounds
And he waved his evil sword high in air with all his might

The great warrior lay dead on the floor
His head still showing confidence to the core
Smile still flashing on his aged face
Rayas valor is beyond any description galore
Rayas head was cut off by the villains
And was displayed at the end of a lance
The sultans rejoiced as the head was paraded high in the battle field
And the Hindu army already lost the battle and the race

Raya was let down by his Muslim commanders on the field
At the call of Islam the traitors joined Sultans in block
Treachery is common in history for personal gains and rise
And the event has put back the Hindu empire clock

Hampi and Vijaynagar fell to the vandals in Muslim Troops
Who stayed in the city for five months at their will
Burnt each and every thing in the city
Ad destroyed the edifices to their hearts fill
The city has been destroyed to such an extent and people left it once for all
Over a period the city became a haunt for thugs thieves crooks and animals
Although statue Narsimha stands in a field defaced and tall

The destruction of the city is the testimony for Hindu hatred in medieval times
Although in modern times things are not different
The damage to our culture even stands naked today
And truth is bitter and stands out apparent
Ramaraya has faded into the history of India
Unsung and unheard while Muslim historians wrote absurd stories of him
The pseudo historians of India follow the ridiculous writings of these men
Only to get some and name with their faculties although very dim

Ramaraya valor glows like a bright star
Who stood guarding Hindu heritage culture
Some pseudo Indian historians write absurd stories of him
Pecking at a corpse like a filthy vulture

NOTE. Aliya Rama raya was the son in law of illustrious Sri Krishna Deva raya who was the greatest emperor of Vijaynagar empire that flourished in South India. After Krishna devarays death his step brother Achyuta Raya became the ruler and was challenged by Rama raya. The tussle for power went on for some time and after Achyuta Rays death Sadasiva raya became the emperor although Rama Raya wielded great power and in fact was a defacto king. Rama raya managed the affairs of the empire for more than two decades and kept the Deccani sultans at bay. He defeated them several times decisively and at last the Sultans waged Jihad against Vijaynagar by forming a confederation army. In the battle of tallikota fought on 23 Jauary1565 Muslim commanders of rama ray betrayed him while victory for him was at sight. Rama raya was captured and was taken to Hussein Nizam shah of ahmed nagar who immediately cut off his head. Hindu forces lost the battle and Muslim armies stayed at Vijaynagar and vandalized hampi and Vijaynagar to such an extent that it was abandoned soon. With this battle the power ad prestige of the empire was greatly eroded although it was not destroyed. The empire survived for another80 years before it faded out due to the treachery of its vassals. Rama raya has not been given his due by the historians although he struggled to keep Hindu flag high during his reign. Such heroes need no certificated from the Indian Marxist historians and pseudo leaders of India who are not leaving any stone unturned to appease Muslims and there by destroying the country. As a day passes the country is inching towards destruction.
