The articles of time on the chest of stones remain indelible as a memento of the creator. These memorial articles are the heritage of the nation, and the lively nation reads them and tells the new generation that is your identity, the history of your ancestors and the story of their defeat.

When King Suheldev got such a saga, people were shocked, because no one has ever said anything about him, such special attention does not come. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and noted author Amish Tripathi made Suheldev the subject of door-to-door discussion. A line that Prime Minister Modi said at the unveiling  of the statue of Suheldev is very expedient and poignant, 'History writers' injustice towards history makers is now being corrected. A few months ago a audio-visual event took place in Purana Qila, it was found that, those who looted, burnt and massacred Delhi were described as emperors immersed in the love of Delhi in Urdu, Persian language talks. Prahlad Patel, the culture minister of the Modi government, sent the program back for reconstruction and review, so that when the Sikhs conquered Delhi, they too joined it and the might of the Marathas.  

One such amazing subject was the founder of Delhi, Maharaja Anangpal. Indraprastha was and is, it is true. Ornamented with Padmavibhushan, Professor Brijbasi Lal has done a lot of research on this, has also written a book. But in the Aanchal region of Indraprastha, Dhillikapuri settled, thrived and flourished till today, how many people know this as Delhi? Many historians and archaeologists discovered and excavated many stone inscriptions and Sanskrit extracts of Dhillikapuri, which proves that Maharaja Anangpal Tomar II established a Vishnu Pillar(Iron pillar) near Mehrauli to settle the city, 'heaven-like fascinating' Dhillikapuri was.

When the present Rashtrapati Bhawan was being built as the original Viceroy's Palace, the stone inscriptions found in the Sarban village near Raisina have a captivating description of Dhillikapuri. These stone blocks are still preserved in the museum of Purana Qila. One of them is written in Sanskrit - On this earth there is a region named Haryana, which is like heaven, (in it) there is a city named Dhillika built by tomars. The same Dhillika later came to be known as Delhi, which at the time of the British was called Delhi with a different English spelling. Maharaja Anangpal Tomar has a mighty and valiant history. He had built 27 Virat Sanatani/Jain temples near Mehrauli. Anangtal, a beautiful small lake was built by him.

There is Anangpur village near Faridabad, anang dam and Anangpur fort. The manifestation of Jain devotion by Maharaja Anangpal II was also abundant. It is claimed that Qutub Minar and Kuwvatul Islam Mosque were built by breaking these temples and putting those idols in the walls. Anangpal was not only known for his beautiful palaces and temples, but also the iron pillar, which is evident from the inscription on the Vishnu flag pillar. Famous historian Dr. Om Ji Upadhyay says that during the time of Maharaj Anangpal II, Sridhar has written lines related to the defeat of Hammir by Anangpal in a treatise called Parshwanath Charit.

Anangpal's rememberance as the founder Maharaja of Delhi is a remembrance of the original introduction of Delhi. In this regard, the government and society should jointly undertake some big campaign, the establishment of indigenous pride of Delhi should be restored, now it's time.
