The main battle of Maha Rana Pratap’s life was known as the Battle of Haldighati, in which Akbar was defeated brutally. He sacrificed his life for the protection of Bharatvarsh. Even Akbar promised to provide half India to Maharana Pratap in return for Chittor, but Maharana Pratap rejected all his appeals. It is said that Akbar has sent many peace proposals to Maharana Pratap, but Maha Rana Pratap never accepted it. Humayun was chased away by Sher Shah Suri after the Battle of Kannoj and the Mughal Sultanate completely vanished. No matter how powerful Akbar was, but after knowing Maharana Pratap, he could never dare to attack the kingdom of Rana.Īt the time when Maharana Pratap was born, the condition of the Mughals had become very bad. Maharana Pratap was such a ruler, whom Akbar could never defeat. The fear of Maha Rana Pratap had settled in the Mughals so much that they used to think many times before raising their sword. Very few of us are aware of the fact that the Mewar ruler had 11 wives with 17 sons and 5 daughters.Maharana Pratap, who is called the brave Rajput and proud of India, was the king who did not allow Mughals to come on his soil.According to some reports Nepal's royal family has same blood of Chittor royals.

It is said that his army chief battled for some time after getting beheaded.Chetak sacrificed his life to save the life of Rana. Not only Pratap but his horse Chetak was also great.Until now, in the honor of great ruler, many Rajput put a leaf under their plate and straws under their bed. However, he was not successful in getting back the fort but lived with his pledge. Pratap took a pledge that until he reclaimed the fort of Chittor, he will sleep at the bed of straw and eat in a leaf plate. Pratap with his family took shelter at Udaipur. When Udai Singh lost at the battle, the fort of Chittor was taken by Mughal forces.Once Maharana's son Amar Singh capture some Muslim women as trophy hostages after a battle but Maharana did not like the action of his son and at the same time, he freed the women and sent them home respectfully. As compare to better equipped and powerful army of Mughals, he has just a few soldiers but caused much damage to the enemy army and was never defeated by the enemies. Man Singh was caught by Pratap' soldiers when Man Singh was on the hunt but Maharana said he preferred to face his opponents on the battleground. Once Maharana got an opportunity to kill Raja Man Singh who was a Rajput king but a Mughal commander.The king saw him from the edge of his eye and attacked him with his sword and rest is the history. Once a Mughal soldier tried to attack him from behind but it was not easy to kill Maharana Pratap.The senior officials of Mewar founded him as a more suitable ruler than his brother Jagmal. He did not get much love of his father Udai Singh.Akbar had sent six diplomatic missions to make a peaceful alliance with him. At the time, almost all Rajput ruler had surrendered to Akbar. ( what a strong man he was!) These things could be still preserved at the City Royal gallery museum in Udaipur.
