The chain of events had started off on a mundane manner when a partridge, despite being injured, escaped a group of hunters. The Chabad tribal hunters found it in the custody of Rajmata Jombai, mother of Lakhdhirji, the chief of the Sodha Parmar Rajputs, who were camping at Muli. She had found the bird in her tent, behind the image of Mandavraiji, a symbol of the Sun God and the Parmar's presiding deity. |
|||
She refused to hand it over, arguing that the bird had sought sanctuary and she could not go against the Kshatriya custom of providing protection to living beings that sought it. She and her younger son Munjoji offered to compensate the hunters with cows and goats. But the Chabads wouldn't listen. |
|||
All hell broke loose and a battle began. The Sodha Parmar Rajputs had Brahmins, Rabaris (cowherds) on their side. Around 140 of them, Munjoji included, died, but not before felling more than 500 rivals in order to save the bird. |
|||
Stone memorials in Muli, built for each person who died in the battle, testify to the folly and the moral integrity of that day. The caste identity of those who died fighting on the Parmar side is depicted on each stone palli. |
|||
From that day on, Muli's Parmars vowed never to kill a partridge and accorded it a divine standing. Even during times when partridge hunting was rampant and was a favourite pastime among the royals, killing it was banned in Muli. |
