Author's Bias in The Dalpat Vilas
The Dalpat Vilas blames Karam Chand Mehta for Maharaja Rai Singh's failure to capture Siwana, the death of Ram Singh and other problems of the state. In regard to siege of Siwana, Rai Singh was a good commander in open field warfare but less experienced in conducting a siege. Informed of this, Akbar sent Shahbaz Khan to conduct the siege. Karam Chand Mehta was a capable minister and found employment with the Emperor after leaving Bikaner.
