3. 2. In the fourteenth century, Hurdeo Singh was expelled from Kshatriya caste for
marrying a Bourdi girl, and left the Rajputs to go and reside at the court of one of
the smaller sovereigns of Central India.
In process of time the king's son became enamoured of Hurdeo's beautiful
daughter. Hurdeo gave his consent, on condition that the king and his whole
court would be present at a banquet to be prepared by Hurdeo's own hand.
There in magnificent goblets of silver and gold, drinks containing opium were
served to the guests who, being thus deprived of the power of resistance, fell an
easy prey to Hurdeo's hired assassins, who stood concealed, each man armed
with his weapon, behind the tapestry at the upper end of the hall.
Hurdeo having thus gained possession of this throne, soon made himself master
of all the surrounding country. He formed a new clan known as the Boundillas, or
'Sons of the Slave;' thus giving the country its present name.
