Update time!

The student looked around. His roommate wasn't there. "weird, it's Sunday."
then he opened the book and went to chapter 1....
Chapter 1: Rise of the Ajmer
In 750 AD, the Gujara Pratihara Empire went into decline, and a clan called the Chauhan took control of a part of India that had favorable conditions - you might just know it as Rajputana. The king, Prithviraj(*) III Chauhan, decided that to become a major force against the Muslims, a centralized government was necessary. Ajayameru (now Ajmer) was founded the next day, and Hinduism immediately spread.
Naturally, it wasn't like the Muslims to pack up their kit and leave. Instead, they attempted to defeat the fledgling empire. At the Battle of Ajayameru, 3000 axemen stormed the 300 archers, but the cry of इस अजमेर है (THIS IS AJMER) rallied the morale reserves of the Chauhans, who slaughtered every single Muslim that attacked. Around this time, however, Prithviraj was killed and the throne passed on to his son, Veer Kunwar I, took over. Veer was slightly less defensive than his father, and when he expanded the country's borders he wasn't planning on peaceful methods. Wars and blackmail was usual in this time.
Immediately recruiting began. 2 companies of spearmen and one special company of axemen (thanks to the iron mines) were trained and set up at the borders of the kingdom of Gwalior. The Gwalior War began.
It is interesting to note that despite the numerical superiority of the Chauhan the archers of Gwalior were also great defensive warriors. This is the main reason that the Ajmer lost one company of spearmen. Gwalior was conquered. The distance between the two cities is about 450 kilometers and in modern times it would take about 3 days to get there(**).
Now it may be thought that Veer was happy, but sadly that was not to be. Veer's eldest son had died in the fighting, and in despair Veer jumped of a mountain close to Ajayameru. The next king, Rajnath I, had his work cut out for him.

"wow, can't wait to read the rest."
The student hid the book - he shuddered to think of what would happen if his roommate found it - and then went out of the room.
The camera watched him.

*: it's just Prithvi and raj melted together, what did you expect
**: this is actually true, I checked on google maps.
