Kalapahad biography books

He approached the Hindu priests of the temple. But he was denied entry to the temple despite his repeat requests that he wanted to reconvert back to Hinduism and that he repented for what he had done. The Hindu priests refused to take him back to the fold of Hinduism. A saddened, disheartened and angry Kalapahad went back to Sulaiman Karrani.

He was all ready to take revenge against Mukundadeva and the Hindu priests of Jaggannath temple. Karrani grabbed the opportunity and recruited him as the commander of his army. Kalapahad immediately set to action. He marched towards Kalinga with a huge army of Muslim Afghan soldiers to attack Mukundadeva. Karrani sent along his son Bayazid Khan Karrani with Kalapahad.

Kalapahad defeated Mukundadeva in battle. The king signed a treaty and left the battlefield to deal with Ramachandra Bhanja, a feudal lord under him, who rose in revolt against him. Mukundadeva was killed in this battle against Ramachandra Bhanja. And Orissa fell in the hands of the Pathans — the Karrani Sultanate. Meanwhile, Kalapahad started sacking major towns and religious places in the Kalinga region including Hijli, Cuttack, Jajpur, Sambalpur, Konark, Ekamrakhsetra, Puri etc.

He destroyed many temples including the famous Konark Sun temple and the Jaggannath temple of Puri. It is said in the Madalapanji that he damaged the tower of Badadeula upto Amla. He also damaged the images of all the Gods and tried to uproot the Kalpabata. There he put the image into flame. Kalapahad led other successful war campaigns for Sulaiman Karrani.

He defeated Koch king Sukladhwaja, took him prisoner and besieged the capital of Cooch Behar. Karrani always feared an attack by the Mughals. Fearing an attack, Karrani restored Sukladhwaja back to power. The Pathan attempts of subjugating Bhurishrestha failed too. Such were the strong forces of Rudranarayan and later under Bhavashankari that even Akbar recognized the sovereignty of Bhurishrestha.

Hence there was no hope left for the Karrani Pathans to attack or subjugate Bhurishrestha. InBayazid Khan Karrani, brother of the Sultan, was treacherously murdered. Kalapahad, along with other Afghan leaders rallied around Daud Khan. Kalapahad died soon after by drowning in a river in Sambalpur in Orissa. Video Audio icon An illustration of an audio speaker.
