Ultimate Sacrifice-Panna Dai!!

In the 16th century, there was a nurse named Panna Dai who was in service to Maharana Sangram Singh. She was responsible for taking care of the son of Raja. She used to take care of him along with her own son Chandan who was of similar age as Young Udai. Both kids used to play together.

During the 2nd and 3rd decades of the 16th century, a lot of trouble was faced by the kingdom and it lost Sangha as its king due to wounds sustained at the battle. Sanga's elder son's died one after another in battle. The throne was succeeded by Vikramaditya at the young age of 14.

After defeating the enemy Vikramaditya came back to continue his reign but because of his short temper, no one in his court liked him and one day because of this all nobles decided to rebel, and orders were placed to arrest Vikramaditya.

Now Udai Singh was the only heir-elect to the throne but he was young so King's court-appointed Vikramaditya's distant brother to act as Regent. The distant brother felt that he is the rightful heir to the throne so he planned and assassinated Vikramaditya in prison and sent an assassin to kill young Udai.

Same time Panna dai just fed and put both kids to sleep. A servant ran to Panna dai to tell her about assassins who were coming that way to kill Udai. Panna Dai was a loyal nursemaid and knew that the future of the Kingdom depended on young Udai and he must be saved.

She acted quickly and instructed the servant to put sleeping Udai into a basket and take him to the nearby river where she would join him later. She summoned all her strength and lifted her sleeping son, changed his clothes with the prince, and placed him in place of the prince in his bed, covering him with the blanket.

Just in a few moments the Assassins burst into the room with sword in hand to kill the prince and asked Panna where young Udai was. She pointed toward the prince bed and watched in horror as assassins killed her own son brutally. The distant brother informed the court about Udai's death and claimed the throne.

Grief stricken Panna dai packed some clothes and other things and left for a spot near the river where the servant was waiting for her with young Udai. After many years of struggle, the royal nursemaid and Udai returned to the kingdom and after ensuring their safety of Udai she told the whole story of deception and escape. After this nobles proclaimed Udai as their king.
