The Kings of the Old Era
Chapter 1: Pahadon Ka Shehar
Jammu Kashmir ke khoobsurat pahadon ke beech ek shehar basa hai — Rajouri. Yeh jagah sirf apni natural beauty ke liye hi nahi balki apne royal history ke liye bhi mashhoor rahi hai.
Bahut saalon pehle Rajouri ek chhota sa kingdom tha jahan bahadur rajaon ka raj hota tha. Mahal ki deewaron par un rajaon ki paintings lagi hoti thi. Un paintings mein rajaon ko shahi kapde, talwar aur turban ke saath dikhaya jata tha — jo unki power aur zimmedari ka symbol hota tha.
Lekin un sab rajaon mein ek raja tha jiska naam dheere-dheere history se gaayab ho gaya.
Uska naam tha Raja Veer Dev.
Chapter 2: Ek Nyay-Priya Raja
Raja Veer Dev Rajouri ka sabse alag raja tha. Woh sirf mahal mein baithkar hukm dene wala raja nahi tha.
Woh aksar simple kapdon mein gaon jaata tha aur logon ki problems sunta tha.
Ek din ek gareeb kisan mahal ke bahar aaya aur bola:
"Raja ji, hamari fasal barbad ho gayi hai."
Raja Veer Dev ne turant uski madad ki aur kaha:
"Raja ka farz hai ki woh apni praja ka saath de."
Isi wajah se Rajouri ke log apne raja ko bahut pyaar karte the.
Chapter 3: Jung Ki Aahat
Ek din Rajouri ke mahal mein ek khabar aayi.
Ek door ka shaktishaali raja Rajouri par hamla karne wala tha. Uski sena bahut badi thi.
Darbar mein sabhi log darr gaye.
Lekin Raja Veer Dev bilkul shaant tha.
Usne apni talwar uthakar kaha:
"Rajouri hamara ghar hai. Hum ise bachayenge."
Chapter 4: Secret Tunnel
Raja Veer Dev bahut intelligent tha. Usne pahadon ke andar secret tunnels banwaye the.
Yeh tunnels sirf kuch hi log jaante the.
Agar kabhi Rajouri par hamla hota toh log in tunnels ke through safe jagah tak pahunch sakte the.
Yeh plan Rajouri ko bachane ke liye banaya gaya tha.
Chapter 5: Mahayudh
Aakhir woh din aa gaya.
Dushman ki sena Rajouri ke pahadon tak pahunch gayi.
Aasmaan mein dhool thi, ghodon ki awaaz thi aur talwaron ki chamak.
Raja Veer Dev apne ghode par khada tha.
Usne apne sipahiyon se kaha:
"Yaad rakho, hum sirf zameen ke liye nahi lad rahe. Hum apne ghar ke liye lad rahe hain."
Rajouri ke sipahi bahaduri se lade.
Lambi jung ke baad dushman sena haar gayi.
Rajouri bach gaya.
Chapter 6: Ek Rahasya
Kuch saal baad ek ajeeb baat hui.
Raja Veer Dev achanak gaayab ho gaya.
Kisi ko nahi pata chala woh kahan gaya.
Kuch log kehte the woh pahadon mein chala gaya.
Kuch log kehte the woh kisi secret mission par gaya tha.
Waqt ke saath log uski kahani bhoolne lage.
Chapter 7: Sadiyon Baad
Kai saalon baad ek school student Armaan Rajouri ke purane fort mein ghoom raha tha.
Usne ek purani painting dekhi.
Painting mein ek raja tha — talwar ke saath, shahi kapdon mein.
Painting ke neeche likha tha:
"Raja Veer Dev – Protector of Rajouri."
Armaan hairaan ho gaya.
Usne socha:
"Kaise ho sakta hai ki itna bada raja history se gayab ho gaya?"
Usne decide kiya ki woh is raja ki kahani duniya ko batayega.
Chapter 8: Kahani Wapas Zinda Hoti Hai
Armaan ne Rajouri ki purani kahaniyan collect karni shuru ki.
Buzurg logon se baat ki.
Purane records dekhe.
Dheere-dheere Raja Veer Dev ki kahani wapas saamne aane lagi.
Log phir se us bahadur raja ko yaad karne lage.
Aur Rajouri ke log kehne lage:
"Sachha raja kabhi bhoolaya nahi ja sakta."
