Dec. 10, 2019

Members of the Jat community in Rajasthan have opposed the release of the movie Panipat in Rajasthan, accusing its makers of wrongly portraying the 18th century ruler of Bharatpur, Maharaja Suraj Mal.

About:

Maharaja Suraj Mal (1707 – 1763) or Sujan Singh was a Jat ruler of Bharatpur in Rajasthan.
The Jats, under Suraj Mal, overran the Mughal garrison at Agra and plundered the city taking with them the two great silver doors of the entrance of the Taj Mahal which were then melted down by Suraj Mal in 1763.
He was killed in an ambush by the Mughal Army on the night of 25 December 1763 near Hindon River.
