  • Shubhrak: The Valiant Horse of Maharaja Karan Singh
    Oct 10 2024

    This episode narrates the story of Shubhrak, the valiant and loyal horse of Maharaja Karan Singh. According to popular belief, Shubhrak not only saved the life of Karan Singh but also killed Qutub-Ud-Din Aibak. Though there are no historical records to support this, documents do mention that Qutub-Ud-Din Aibak died after falling from a horse while playing polo.


    Thus the story of Qutub-Ud-Din Aibak being killed by Shubhrak may or may not be true. This podcast doesn't lay any claim on the authenticity of this incident.


    The other incidents and battles mentioned in this podcast are based on historical facts.
