Question on Jalor.

Ala-ud-din conquered it after killing Kanhad Deva Chauhan....later it came under Rathors of Jodhpur.

But the Lohani Nawabs of Palanpur claim that their ancestor took Jalor from the Parihar Rajput ruler (!) in the 14th Century. That ancestor was a minister of the Parihar ruler.

The rule of Jalore after Kanhad's fall is little nebulous. In all likelihood it was ruled by muslims and since it was a seat of chauhan power there is no reason why Parihaar rajputs would try to conquer it. Mandore was ruled by Parihhars and after muslims were able to win it in the 14 th century Parihaar rajputs reconquered it in a spectacular fashion and handed it over to rathors with an assurance that warfare between rathores and parihaars would cease. What happened was that Muslim ruler in Mandore wanted Parihaars to allow cutting of there grass crop so that the muslim stable could be fed. Paihaars were incensed at this affront and hid in the grass filled bullock carts and overpowered the fort.

So what is the sequence of events??

Jalore was conquered by rathores. Maldeo had it part of his empire and even before him Rana Mokal attacked Jalore (helped by Rao Ranmal Rathore, father of Rao Jodha) and the Bihari Pathan of Jalore paid tribute to the Maharana.
