Jatwan was a subordinate of Prithviraj Chauhan who rebelled against Qutb ud-Din Aibak of the Delhi Sultanate in 1192 CE.[1][2]
Henry Elliot thought Jatwan to be a leader of Jats, a claim repeated by later writers.[3] For example, Kalika Ranjan Qanungo believed that Jatwan led a Jat rebellion against Aibak.[4]
But according to Professor Hodivala who critically examined Elliot's work, the name Jatwan is actually mistranscription of word Chahwan i.e. Chauhan. Hence the unnamed person who led the rebellion was not Jatwan but Chauhan, a member of the same tribe to which Prithviraj Chauhan belonged.[5]
Rebellion against Qutb-ud-din Aibak
Jatwan besieged the Muslim commander Nasrat Uddin at Hansi in 1192 CE, shortly after the defeat of Prithviraj.[4] On receiving this news Qutb-ud-din marched twelve farsakhs, i.e., about 40 miles during one night. Jatwan raised the siege of Hansi and prepared for an obstinate conflict. "The armies attacked each other" says the author of Taj-ul-Maasir "like two hills of steel, and the field of battle (on the borders of the Bager country) became tulip-dyed with the blood of warriors. Jatwan had his standards of God-plurality and ensigns of perdition lowered by the hand of power".[6]
