Rao Mitrasen Santoriya, also known as Mitrasen ahir or Mittar sain, was the son of Rao Tulsiram and was the Ahir Commander Of Rewari in India in the 19th century.[1]
Conflict with Rajputs and Marathas
[edit]The Battle of Mandan, fought in 1775, was a clash between the Shekhawat Rajputs and Ahirs of rewari won by the Rajputs. Rao Raja Mitrasen along with the Mughal fought Kachwaha of Jaipur and Shekhawat Rajputs, etc.[2] In 1781, Rao Mitrasen attacked and plundered Narnaul on 5 February.[1] During the battle, 400 men of the garrison (Jaipur forces) made a sortie and attacked his trenches.[2][3] The Ahir Soldiers of Rao Mitrasen beat off the attack inflicting more than a hundred casualties. In retaliation, the Jaipur rulers attacked Rewari in the early months of 1781.[4] and in the conflict both sides suffered heavy losses,[5] In 1785, a Maratha invasion to Rewari was expelled.[1][3][4][2]
Death
[edit]Mitrasen died shortly after the battle. The Marathas invaded again, killed most of Rao Mitrasen's family and sacked the town. Rao Ram Singh died fighting. The Marathas put the younger brother of Rao Ram Singh, Hira Singh, on the Gaddi. Neither Ram Singh nor Hira Singh seem to have ruled for long.[1][3]
Legacy
[edit]Rao Mitrasen's Samadhi is presented in Gokalgarh-Lisana, Haryana.[citation needed]
