Chand Bardai
Chand Bardai was an Indian poet who composed ''Prithviraj Raso'', an epic poem in Brajbhasa about the life of the Chahamana king Prithviraj Chauhan.

In its longest form the poem comprises upwords of 10,000 stanzas. ''Prithviraj Raso'' was proved historically unreliable and inaccurate by historians like Georg Bühler, Morrison, GH Ojha and Munshi Devi Prasad. See also * Hindi Literature * Prit ...
