[1] Persian hagiography Mirat-i-Masudi, written in 17th century, popularly mentions him to have defeated and killed the Ghaznavid general Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud at Bahraich in 1034 CE.

It is doubtful whether Miyan existed at all but he was already occupying a prominent spot-of-veneration in public memory as a quasi-mythic warrior-saint and Chisti accentuated the process, employing an imaginary past.

[10] In April 1950, Arya Samaj, Ram Rajya Parishad and Hindu Mahasabha Sangathan — who had been long demanding a memorial for Suhaldev — planned a fair at Chittora to commemorate him.

Khwaja Khalil Ahmad Shah, a member of the Ghazi Miyan Dargah Committee, appealed the district administration to ban the proposed fair, in order to avoid communal tensions.

A conservative section of Indian National Congress under the leadership of Vaidya Bhagwandeen Mishra joined the protest, and around 2000 people went to jail before the administration relented and lifted the prohibitory orders.

Alongside the celebration of Maharaja Suhaldev Vijayotsav in remembrance of his victory over Ghazi Miyan, a Rajyabhisek Utsav was invented on the day of Vasant Panchami to commemorate his coronation.

[16] It was also lamented that the Hindus chose to forgot Suhaldev whilst being all keen on visiting the dargah of a foreign invader, which was "originally" an ashram (hermitage) of Balark Rishi.

Badri Narayanan noted in 2006 that Hindus continued to visit the dargah and most of them rejected the narrative peddled by RSS; they believed Suhaldev to be an oppressive ruler, from whose clutches their forefathers were liberated by Ghazi Miyan.

[10] On 24 June 2019, Om Prakash Rajbhar - the president of Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party - unveiled a statue of Suhaldev in Indore village of Ghazipur district.
