Fake story that rani karnavati sent rakhi to Humayun .

It’s a well propogated story where “ Rani karnavati sent Rakhi to Humayun.”

During the medieval period, the Rajputs were fighting against the Muslim invasion and Rani Karnavati was Mewar’s regent during the minority of her son after her husband Rana Sanga’s death. At that time, Mewar was attacked by Bahadur Shah of Gujarat for the second time. In the context of the Rajput-Bahadur Shah battle at Chittor, the Rani Karnavati-Humayun Rakhi story has been propagated. According to the story, Rani appealed to Humayun for help when the Rajputs faced Bahadur Shah’s threat. She supposedly sent a Rakhi along with the letter.
And Humayun’s Rush To Save Chittorgarh
He was on an expedition to Bengal. He stopped his progress and rushed towards Chittorgarh.
However, by the time he reached Chittor, the damage was all done. The inhabitants of the fort embraced death either in the battlefield or in the sacred pyre.When Humayun saw the tragic end of the inhabitants of the fort and the Maharani, he deeply regretted his not being able to reach on time. He defeated Sultan and reinstated Vikramaditya as Maharana of Chittor. ”

Interestingly, none of the contemporary historians mention this incident.

Todd was the one who mention a story of Rani Karnavati of Chittor (grandmother of Maharana Pratap jii ), sent a rakhi to Humayun asking for protection in his book "Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan " . Humayun was in Bengal on an expedition and even though he left it halfway. he could not reach in time—the valiant queen committed jauhar. Tod terms Humayun ‘true warrior’ who honored his promise and ensured that her son was retained on the throne and Bahadur Shah of Gujarat was defeated.

The story of Humayun helping Karnavati by sending Rakhi is as fake as that of Jodha-Akbar. Till date many films and serials have been made, but no one has tried to research the authenticity of Jodha-Akbar in the world. For him akbar and Humayun was true warriors.

JamesTod had also mentioned the name of Jodha before that it is nowhere written that the name of any wife of Akbar was Jodha . This too is a fabricated story.
Todd has kept his imaginary views against Rajputs and he had written about those historical events which hadn’t happened at all .

Leftist historian Satish Chandra in his book History of Medieval India, writes, “no contemporary writer has mentioned the story, and it may not be true.”

In the book 'The History of India for Children (Vol. 2): FROM THE MUGHALS TO THE PRESENT’,Archana Garodia Gupta and Shruti Garodia write that Humayun reached Chittor a few months afterSultan Bahadur Shah captured Chittor. He was waiting for when the kingdom of Mewar would collapse. During this, Bahadur Shah also openly indulged in killings and looting in Chittor.
His ministers had told him that he was fighting an infidel, so being a Muslim, Humayun would not harm him. This indicates Humayun had no intention to help a ‘kafir’.

However, Humayun waited for Chittor to fall into his possession and then attacked. In the beginning he was getting defeated, but in the end somehow he captured Gujarat and Malwa. Thus ended the Sultanate of Bahadur Shah. Historical accounts state Humayun was in Gwalior when he received Bahadur Shah’s letter. The Gujarat Sultan asked the Mughals not to interfere since he was waging Jihad against ‘kafirs’ as per Islamic law and Humayun was in Gwalior when he received Bahadur Shah’s letter. Banerji explains the Muslim diplomacy and religiopolitical attitude of the Muslim victor towards the Hindu vanquished.After the treaty of 1533 A. D. with the Rana of Chittor, when he surrendered some territory besides paying a large indemnity, Bahadur Shah, for no reason whatever except an ambition to conquer an ‘infidel’ kingdom, destroyed Chittor two years later”, writes Banerji citing Chittor as an example of the aforementioned Muslim policy .

While Bahadur Shah was busy in the second siege of Chittor, Humayun’s man Mohammad Jama took refuge in Gujarat. Since Shah refused to send Jama back despite Humayun’s insistence, the Mughals attacked Gujarat. Bahadur Shah’s general Tatar Khan, was defeated.

As assured by Shah’s minister Sadr Khan, the Mughal ruler did not attack Shah when he was engaged in a battle with the Sisodias. Thus, despite being in Gujarat, Humayun did not rush to Chittor’s defense as the Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb gang would have us believe.

The Karnavati-Humayun ‘Rakhi’ story is another secular lie with no historical proof.
