Please read the following carefully;
As a prisoner in Ghor, Prithviraj was brought in chains before Muhammad Ghori.he saw his wife mahrukh there. He haughtily looked Ghori straight into the eye. Ghori ordered him to lower his eyes, whereupon a Prithviraj scornfully reminded him that the eyes of a rajput is lowered only when a rajput dies.On hearing this,Ghori ordered that his eyes to be burnt with red hot iron rods. Prithviraj's former courtier Chand Bardai, who was later to compose the Prithviraj Raso, a ballad-biography of Pritiviraj, came to Ghori to be near Prithviraj in his misery. Chand Bardai came in disguise and paens. On one hand, he earned Mahmud's regard; on the other, he took every oprportunity to meet with Prithviraj and urge him to avenge Ghori.[citation needed]: The two got an opportunity to kill Muhammad Ghori when Ghori announced an archery competition. Chand Bardai told Ghori that Prithviraj was so skilled an archer, that he could take aim based only on sound, and did not even need to look at his target.Ghori disdained to believe this; the courtiers guffawed and taunted Chand Bardai, asking how a blind man could possibly shoot arrows. In the spirit of their usual barbaric mockery, they brought the blind and hapless Prithviraj out to the field. Pressing a bow and arrows into his hand, they taunted him to take aim. Chand Bardai told Ghori that this taunting would avail nothing, for Prithviraj would never do as some sundry courtiers bade him do. He said that Prithviraj, as an anointed king, would not accept orders from anyone other than another king. His ego thus massaged, and in the spirit of the occasion, Mahmud Ghori agreed to personally give Prithviraj the order to shoot.Some iron plates were hung and Prithiviraj was asked to aim at them.A man was to strike the plate with a hammer and Prithviraj was supposed to hit that plate. Thus, Chand Bardai provided Prithviraj with an oral indication of where Ghori was seated by composing a couplet on the spot and reciting the same in Prithviraj's hearing. The couplet, composed in a language understood only by Prithviraj went thus: "Char bans, chaubis gaj, angul ashta praman, Ta upar sultan hai, Chuke mat Chauhan." (Four measures ahead of you and twenty four yards away as measured with eight finger measurement, is seated the Sultan. Do not miss him now, Chauhan). Ghori then ordered Prithviraj to shoot. Prithviraj thus came to know the location of Ghori and started shooting at the plates.When he hit the target courtiers said "vah" "vah" and Ghori said "Shabash", recognising Ghori's voice and turning in the direction from where he heard Ghori speak, Prithviraj took aim based only on the voice and on Chand Bardai's couplet, he sent an arrow racing to Ghori's throat. Ghori was thus stuck dead by Prithviraj. Prithviraj and Chandar did not want to die from the hands of Ghori's courtiers so they stabbed each other. Even today afghans vent their anger on Prithviraj's Grave by stabbing on it through a rope & then pay accolades to their defeated king Ghauri. It's a pity that the Indian Government who is engaged in the construction work of a war ravaged country has no time to pay honour or renovate the grave of a Valiant King.

Prithvi was a great king &
Prithvi was a great king & undisputed warrior for us .Prithvi &Mharana Pratap are the correctors of great inspirations for us .
We have to again prepare ourselves by 24x7 for these type of invadors & beasts.
Prithvis must killed that bastard Gori at the same time in 1191 AD.
One should behave in a tit for tat manner.
this is my personal view.

Don't get me wrong. But we
Don't get me wrong. But we should stop treating Prithvi Raj as a hero. Pritvi Raj was a egotist fool like Hajpayee. When Ghori attacked our sacred country, he defeated him through sacrifice of many nation loving Hindus. But what did he do after he captured him. He just released him so that he could feel good about himself that he is so merciful. I think pardoning an enemy of state is a treachery in itself. It is like Bush pardoning Osama or congress pardoning Afzal Guru and letting him free. Although I would say they are still better than Prithvi Raj in the sense that they at least keep Guru in prison. Pritvi Raj should not be presented as a Hero to our children but as a lesson of what happens to egotist psuedo-secular fools when they misunderstand Islamic aggression
Prithvi raj enabled the Islamic subjugation of India for his foolish ego. If I ever go to Afghanistan I will piss on his grave
A very brave soul indeed yet
A very brave soul indeed yet deluded and unrealistic. Certainly, he does not deserve anyone's condemnation.
correct me if i am wrong,,
correct me if i am wrong,, prithviraj was a hindu (rajput),,how can he have a grave,,he should (must) have been cremated (burnt into ashes),, so i dont know how can his 'grave' be stabbed 'even today'
Prithvi raj was buried in
Prithvi raj was buried in the grave by muslims after Ghori's death. This was actually an insult done to a Rajput.
Remember around 2 years ago, the killer of Phoolan Devi went Afghanistan and bring back the remains from his grave to submerge them in Ganges.
