Who was called the "King of the Two Worlds"?

Who was called the "King of the Two Worlds"? Correct Answer Doondaji Waugh

The correct answer is Doondaji Waugh.

Key Points

Dhondia Wagh:

  • Dhondia Wagh, an erstwhile feudal lord, who had earlier enjoyed Tipu’s confidence, but landed in jail due to serious differences with the ruler – was awaiting execution.
  • The proverbial lull gave him an opportunity to escape. Once out of jail, Dhondia enlisted a large number of followers and assumed the title of ‘Ubhaya Lokadheeshwara’ (‘master of two worlds’). Hence, statement 3 is correct.
  • Being a son of the soil, he could easily muster support from major and minor principalities.
  • The provinces of the then Dharwar and Hassan announced their allegiance to him and provided support in terms of men and material.
  • Himself an adept cavalry commander, the strength of his troops rose to 50,000 within a short span of time. 
  • Most of his soldiers were mounted and they could move twice as far in a day as a regular force. For logistics, he employed teams of banjara volunteers.  
  • A defeat by the English in August 1799 forced him to take refuge in the Maratha region from where he instigated the disappointed princes to fight against the English and he himself took on the leadership.
  • In September 1800, he was killed while fighting against the British forces under Wellesley.
