1. Economic Development of Bhopal by Ashfaq Ali, pg no 695. 2. Naukar, Rajput, and Sepoy by Dirk H. A. Kolff, pg no 86. Shiladitya Tomar was married to Durgavati, daughter of Rana Sanga, which makes him a close relative and associate of the house of Sisodiyas of Mewar. This again cancels the theory of betrayal. After the Battle of Khanwa, Shiladitya Tomar went back to his kingdom at Raisen where in 1532, he and his brother Lakshman Tomar along with other Purabiya Rajput warriors performed the "Saka" (fighting till death) against the Sultan of Gujarat, Bahadur Shah and attained martyrdom while the women performed Jauhar.

MEDIEVAL STUDIES by BANERJEE, ANIL CHANDRA, pg no 63-64 (1958). Shiladitya Tomar was already ruling a decent Kingdom in Malwa and was related to the house of Mewar by marriage. Lack of motive to betray. According to one secretary of Babur, Bhupat, a son of Shiladitya Tomar attained martyrdom while fighting for Rana Sanga. These ga ts prove that the story of betrayal is just a mere concoction.

तोमरों का इतिहास भाग २: ग्वालियर तथा मालवा के तोमर, पृष्ठ संख्या २२३ - २२४ Renowend Historians GH Ojha and Harihar Niwas Dwivedi refutes Silhadi helping Babur in Battle of Khanwa. He says none of the Muslim writers mention it and also he didn't got any Jagir post Khanwa that he should have got on contrary he was attacked by Babur. Also he kept serving Mewar and descendants of Rana Sanga helped him.

The Asiatic Review, July- 1915 (vol.7) pg no 385. Babur held a darbar post the Ghaghra battle (1529) against Afghans in east. Many Hindu, Muslim chieftains appeared in it, but Shiladitya Tomar is not mentioned among them. This betrays his importance as a key ally of Babur if his defection was so crucial and proves it to be just a myth.

DEBUNKING THE MYTH OF SHILADITYA TOMAR (SILHADI) BETRAYING RANA SANGA IN THE BATTLE OF KHANWA Creating rift amongst the Rajputs with the help of foolish and baseless stories is not a new thing. One day the other, lot of these fake stories takes birth and in turn, people talk alot of bunkum related to the Rajput history, with having an iota of knowledge. Such has been the case of Raja Shiladitya Tomar of Raisen, a Purabiya Rajput who has been projected as a traitor by the Anti-Rajput Left/Right lobby, just like they did to Raja Man Singh and Maharaj Jaychandra Gahadavala. While the reality is totally opposite of the buncombe. Raja Shiladitya Tomar, also called Silhadi Tomar, was a Purabiya Rajput chieftain of northeast Malwa in the early decades of 16th century India under overlordship of Rana Sanga of Mewar. Along with his relative Medini Rai Parihar, Shiladitya rose to position of power in the service of Sultan Mahmood Khilji II (ruled 1510-1531) of the Malwa Sultanate. Medini Rai and Silhadi were de facto rulers of the northeastern Malwa region during Mahmood's reign. Return of Hindu Rule under Shiladitya Tomar in Malwa destroyed all the old Mohammadan Noble families of the state, Hindus were given supreme importance. What came afterwards wasn't preempted by anyone. Shiladitya Tomar Medini Rai Parihar & other Rajput chiefs called Maharana Sanga for help and a joint Rajput coalition was formed which not only defeated the combined Sultanate army but also led to captivation of Mahmud Khilji for 6 months. He became a vassal of Rana Sanga of Mewar who helped him and Medini Rai Parihar in various battles and in conquering Malwa from Sultans. He joined the Rajput Confederacy with garrison of 30,000 Purabiya Rajputs at the Battle of Khanwa which was fought for supremacy of Northern India between Rajputs and Mughals.

History and Culture of the Indian People, Volume 06, The Delhi Sultanate by K. M. Munshi, R. C. Majumdar, General Editor, pg no 346 (1967). Historian R.C. Majumadar mentions, "Silhadi continued to help mewar loyally long after the battle and was one of the trustiest officers of Sanga's Son and successor RatanSimha, story of treachery of Silhadi was a much later invention".
