Suhaldev
legendary Indian king
Suhaldev or Suheldev Bais was a legendary Rajput king from Shravasti town of India.[1] The Persian Haigiography Mirat-i-Masudi, written in 17th century, popularly mentions him to have defeated and killed the Ghaznavid general Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud at Bahraich in 1034 CE.[2] Subsequent writers spanning from colonial ethnographers to the postcolonial bureaucrats have identified King Suheldev’s caste to be from the Bais clan of the Rajputs.[3][4][5]
