Who is Maharaja Suheldev and why did PM Narendra Modi dedicate a memorial to him?

King Suheldev was deeply moved by the loot and destruction of the magnificent Somnath temple by invader Mahmud Ghazni that he decided to give up the comfort of royal life as a prince. King Suheldev waged guerrilla warfare against Mahmud Ghazni’s army. During his invasion of northern India, Mahmud Ghazni defeated several old kingdoms and forced them to become his allies.
