And then Bahadur Shah’s eyes fall on Magadha, “The Golden Bird”. When he saw the beauty of Magadha, he couldn’t believe his eyes. He was very much impressed and dreamed to accrue Magadha.
Exposition
Then Bahadur Shah Sent a royal treaty notice to Raja Pratap Singh Deo, to surrender his empire. And threatened him, “if he will not surrender his empire, Bahadur Shah will destroy “Rajagriha” ( The capital of Magadha)”. But Raja Pratap Singh Deo was a brave king. He respectfully replied, “If your king wants war, then ok, It will. But Magadha will never surrender.”
After getting the reply from Raja Pratap Singh Deo, Bahadur Shah prepared for war. But this time Bahadur Shah made a big mistake.

Time passed, but Bahadur Shah couldn’t forget his defeat. All his focus was only on Raja Pratap Singh Deo. So over time His ruling power also started weakening. When the enemy kings from whom Bahadur Shah accrued their throne got the news, they started gathering and planned to attack together.

Bahadur Shah: Why should you save me? when I am your enemy.
Raja Pratap Singh Deo smiled and was quiet for a while.
Raja Pratap Singh Deo: First of all you are a human, then after you are my enemy. So which one should I follow first? And if someone comes to us with any hope then it’s our duty to help him.
Bahadur Shah: But how do you always stay so calm?
Raja Pratap Singh Deo: You are angry about what you lost. But you didn’t realize what you had. You had your kingdom, your army, your people. But you didn’t pay attention to them. The rule of war is ” If someone wins then another one loses”.But getting angry over a defeat doesn’t suit a good king.
Then Bahadur Shah realize his mistake and he was ashamed of that. Then he quietly left From Raja Pratap Singh Deo. After some days when the situation calmed down, Bahadur Shah decided to leave.
