Maharana Pratap
Maharana Pratap Singh Sisodia (Jyeshtha Shukla Tritiya Sunday Vikram Samvat 1597 accordingly (9 May 1540 – 19 January 1597) was a king of the Sisodia dynasty in Udaipur, Mewar. His name is immortal in history for bravery, bravery, sacrifice, bravery and determination. He did not accept the submission of Mughal Emperor Akbar and fought for many years. Maharana Pratap Singh defeated the Mughals many times in the war and brought the entire Mughal Empire to its knees.
He was born in Kumbhalgarh, present-day Rajasthan,in the house of Maharana Uday Singh and Mata Rani Jaywantabai. According to James Tod (author), Mighty Maharana Pratap was born in Kumbhalgarh, Mewar. According to historian Vijay Nahar, according to the tradition of Rajput society and according to Maharana Pratap's horoscope and calculus, Maharana Pratap was born in the palaces of Pali.
Maharana Pratap was born in Pali district and his maternal grandfather was in Pali. Copper plate is mentioned in seven lines in part 18 of Saraswati composed by Munshi Devi Prasad.
And the land donated by Maharana Pratap to Brahmins is mentioned in the book written by Somani. It is true from these sources that it is appropriate to mention the land of Maharana Pratap's maternal grandfather in Pali.
Birth Place of Maharana Pratap
There are two believed on the asked questions of birthplace of Maharana Pratap. Earlier Maharana Pratap was born in Kumbhalgarh Fort as Maharana Udai Singh and Jaywantabai were married in Kumbhalgarh Palace. Another belief is that the great warrier was born in the palaces of Pali. Maharana Pratap's mother's name was Jaywanta Bai, who was the daughter of Songra Akhairaj of Pali. Maharana Pratap's childhood was spent with Bhil community, he used to learn martial arts with Bhils, Bhils call their son as Kika, so Bhils used to call Maharana as Kika. Hinduva Surya Maharana, authored by Vijay Nahar According to Pratap, when Pratap was born, Uday Singh was surrounded by war and insecurity. Kumbhalgarh was not safe in any way. Raja Maldev, the powerful Rathori king of Jodhpur, was the most powerful in North India in those days. And Jayavanta Bai's father and Pali's ruler Songara Akheraj was a trusted feudal lord and general of Maldev.
For this reason Pali and Marwar were safe in every way and Akbar's power was very less in front of Ranbanka Rathore's Kamdhwaj army, so Jaywanta Bai was sent to Pali where Pratap was born. As soon as the good news of Pratap's birth was received, Uday Singh's army started marching and got victory over Banveer in the Mavli war and captured the throne of Chittor. According to the book Maharana Pratap's chief aide, retired Indian Administrative Service officer Devendra Singh Shakhawat, the birthplace of Maharana Pratap is present in Juni Kachari Pali, the remains of Maharao's stronghold. Here the temple of Kuldevi Nagnachi of goldsmiths is still safe. According to the book, according to the old traditions, on the 1st pregnancy Girl is sent to her maternal house i.e. Pihar for her firstborn.
According to historian Arjun Singh Shekhawat, the birth chart of Maharana Pratap has been prepared from the time of birth between midnight 12/17 to 12/57 according to the old day-time method. It is necessary to know the clear sun on 5/51 palma sunrise 0/0, because of this birth time is favored. If this horoscope had been made in Chittor or Mewar, then the sun's zodiac sign would have been different in the morning. The morning sunrise is similar to Kala Vikala Pali made by Pandit's place time calculation old method.
Dr. Hukam Singh Bhati's book Songra Sanchora Chauhan Ka Itihaas 1987 and historian Muhta Nancy's book Khyat Marwar Ra Pargana Ri Vigat is also clear "Jaywantabai, daughter of famous Thakur Akheraj Songara of Pali, Volume No. 1597 Jestha Sudi Third Sunday 47 hours 13 from sunrise Gave birth to such a bright child in an hour. Blessed is this Pali land which gave birth to a gem like Pratap.
Life of Maharana Pratap
The second queen of Rana Udai Singh, Dhirbai, who is known as Rani Bhatiyani in the history of the kingdom, wanted to make her son Kunwar Jagmal the successor of Mewar. Jagmal goes to Akbar's camp as a protest against Pratap's successor.The first crowing of Maharana Pratap took place in Gogunda on February 28, 1572, but according to law, the second crowing of Rana Pratap took place in Kumbhalgarh fort in 1572 AD, Rao Chandrasen, the Rathor ruler of Jodhpur was also present.
Rana Pratap had done a total of 11 marriages in his life and the name of his wives, sons & daughters have had are:-

The most interesting fact in the reign of Maharana Pratap is that Mughal emperor Akbar wanted to bring Pratap under him without war, so Akbar appointed four ambassadors to convince Pratap, in which Jalal Khan first went to Pratap's camp in September 1572. In this order, Mansingh (in 1573 AD), Bhagwandas (September, 1573 AD) and Raja Todarmal (December, 1573 AD), Arrived to convince Pratap, but Rana Pratap disappointed all four, thus Rana Pratap refused to accept the lordship (suzerainty) of the Mughals which resulted in the historic Battle of Haldi Ghati.
Battle of Haldighati
This war took place on June 18, 1576 between Mewar and the Mughals. In this war, Maharana Pratap led the army of Mewar. The leader of the Bhil army was Thakur Rana Poonja Solanki of Panarwa. Hakim Khan Suri was the only Muslim chieftain who fought on the side of Maharana Pratap in this war.
The site of the battle was a narrow mountain pass in Haldighati near Gogunda in Rajasthan. Maharana Pratap commanded an army of about 3,000 horsemen and 400 Bhil archers. The Mughals were led by Raja Man Singh of Amer, who commanded an army of around 5,000–10,000 men. After a fierce battle that lasted for more than three hours, Maharana Pratap found himself wounded while some of his men gave him time, managed to escape to the hills and live to fight another day. Mewar's casualties numbered around 1,600 men. The Mughal army lost 3500–7800 men, including another 350 wounded. Maharana Pratap of Mewar was victorious in this battle, as soon as the focus of the empire shifted elsewhere; Pratap and his army came out and recaptured the western areas of his dominions.
In this war, the Mughal army was led by Mansingh and Asaf Khan. Abdul Qadir Badayuni described the war with his own eyes. Asaf Khan indirectly termed this war as Jihad. In this war Jhalaman of Binda saved the life of Maharana Pratap by sacrificing his life.At the same time Gwalior King 'Raja Ramshah Tomar' also deep slept along with his three sons 'Kunwar Shalivahan', 'Kunwar Bhawani Singh' 'Kunwar Pratap Singh' and grandson Balbhadra Singh and hundreds of brave Tomar Rajput warriors.
Jhala Mansingh saved Maharana Pratap who was surrounded by the enemy army by giving his life and asked Maharana to leave the battlefield. Maharana was saved by Shakti Singh by giving his horse. Beloved horse Chetak also died. Maharana Pratap was the best Rajput king and was known for his bravery, valor, character, piety, sacrifice in the battle of Haldighati and in the battle of Dewar and Chapli. After his successful resistance to the Mughals, he was regarded as a "Hindushiromani". This war lasted only for a day but 17,000 people were killed in it. Akbar made all efforts to win Mewar. Maharana's condition became worrying day by day. Bhamashah also became immortal by giving a grant of 24,000 soldiers for 12 years.
This is believed by Historians that there was no victory in this war. But if seen, Maharana Pratap Singh won in this war. How long could a handful of Rajputs survive in front of Akbar's huge army, but nothing like this happened, this war lasted for a whole day and the Rajputs defeated the Mughals and the biggest thing is that the war was fought face to face. Maharana's army forced the Mughal army to retreat and the Mughal army started running away.
Dedication Thoughts
He returned to the forest and continued his fight. After the failure of one of his attempts at confrontation, Pratap resorted to guerrilla tactics. Using its hills as a base, Pratap began to kick out massive Mughal troops from there. He was adamant that the Mughal army of Mewar should never feel releaxed: Akbar staged three rebellions and tried unsuccessfully to hide Pratap in the mountains. During this, he received financial assistance in the form of sympathy from Pratap Bhamashah. Bill from the Aravalli hills, with his support to Pratap during the war and with the means of living in the forest during the peacetime. Many years passed like this. It was wrote by James Tod that "Even without a bigger army in the old Aravalli Range, there is no way for a great freedom fighter hero like king Maharana Pratap Singh to be heroic: anything could lead to a spectacular victory or often a heavy defeat. In one incident, The Goliaths marched in at the right time and abducted Rajput women and children in the deep zinc mines of Savar near Udaipur.Later, Pratap shifted his position to Savan in the southeastern part of Mewara. After the Mughal exploration wave, all the exiles lived for years in the forest, eating wild berries, hunting and fishing. According to rumour, Pratap was having a hard time when the bullets rang out at the right time and abducted Rajput women and children through the deep zinc mines of Savar near Udaipura. Later, Pratap shifted his position to Chavand, the south-eastern part of Mewar. After the Mughal exploration wave, all the exiles lived for years in the forest, eating wild berries, hunting and fishing. According to legend, Pratap was going through a difficult time when bullets rang out at the right time and abducted Rajput women and children through the deep zinc mines of Savar near Udaipura. Later, Pratap shifted his position to Chavand, the south-eastern part of Mewar. After the Mughal exploration wave, all the exiles lived for years in the jungle, eating wild berries, hunting and fishing. According to legend, Pratap was going through difficult times. All the exiles lived in canoes with wild berries and hunted and fished for many years. According to legend, Pratap had difficulty in eating chapatti made from grass seeds.
Prithviraj Rathore's letter to Maharana Pratap
When the exiles were actually starving, they wrote a letter to Pratap Akbar, stating that they were ready for a peace settlement. Prithviraj Rathor, the chieftain of Pratap (offspring of his mother's sister), who was one of the members of Akbar's circle, said this:
The beliefs of the Hindus are based on the rising of the Hindu Sun but the Rana abandoned them. But for Pratap, Akbar would consider everything at the same level; Because our Sardars have lost their courage and our women have lost their status. Akbar is still a market broker in our race; He has bought everything in bulk but only Udai's son (Singh II of Mewar); It was too far for its price. how much the Rajput respected Naurkof [during the Persian New Year, Akbar chooses women for his pleasure]; Yet how many people consider it barter? Will Chittoor come to this market...? Pratap Singh (affectionately known as Patta) spent his wealth (for war strategy) and battalions, though he preserved the treasury. Misery drove man to this market, and he saw his self-esteem suffer: only the descendants of Hammir (Maha Rana Hammir) were safe from such crime. The world may ask where did the indirect help for Pratap come from? Not from anywhere but from his masculinity and sword.. The broker of human market (Akbar) is definitely going to leave this world one day; He's not going to last forever. Then is our race going to reach Pratap, who is going to sow the Rajput seed in the inhospitable land? According to him, everyone wants to preserve it, and revive and illuminate its sanctity. It would not be believable if Pratap Akbar was called the emperor, as the sun rises in some way in a faster direction. where should i stand to place your weapon around my neck? or to carry proudly? say that? Said. It would not be believable if Pratap Akbar was called the emperor, as the sun rises in some way in a faster direction.
Thus Pratap answered him
My Lord Ekling, Pratap is simply called Turkish Emperor, the word 'Turkish' is a derogatory term in many Indian languages and the Sun will certainly appear in the East. You can bear your pride until the blade of Maharana Pratap revolves on the heads of the Mughals." As for Sanga's blood, if you wish to wait and see about Akbar! You must have improved this word war.
Thus the treaty remained unsigned.
Battle of Divar-ChhapliIn
The history of Rajasthan, the war of Divar in 1582 is considered an important war, because in this war the lost kingdoms of Rana Pratap were recovered, after this a long struggle between Rana Pratap and the Mughals took place in the form of a war, due to which Colonel James Tod has called this war "Marathon of Mewar".
The barrier of the wall at the northern end of Mewar is unique from other barriers. Its position is between the mountain ranges of Madaria and Kumbhalgarh. In ancient times, this mountainous region was dominated by Gurjar Pratiharas, who were called Mer because of settling in this region. Many remains of the caste habitations are found in the promoters here. In the medieval period it was dominated by Rajputs of the Deora caste, whose settlements settled in the surrounding fertile parts and spread to Inner Girwa near Udaipur. Deora Rajputs are still living in large numbers in the hilly parts of Chikli. After Deoras, the Rajputs of Rawat branch came and settled here.
There were many reasons for these different communities to settle in Divar. Firstly, Divar has had a strategic importance, the communities which have been famous for bravery, they continued to settle here due to their bravery and established influence on each other. The second important reason was that its position is on such routes from where there has been facility of exchange of Marwar, Malwa, Gujarat, Ajmer. These routes can be seen even today in the form of rough roads with narrow gorges. With these, for centuries, adherence to the flag of horseshoes has been done. There is no shortage of water in the spots, due to which the dams of the waterfalls are visible. From the point of view of security, the ruins of outposts are also visible at various places. When Akbar captured places like Kumbhalgarh, Deogarh, Madariya etc., Diver was selected as a defense site to maintain connection with the outposts there. A large number of horsemen and elephants were kept here. It was also a convenient place to send logistics to the inter-posts.
While Maharana Pratap was busy establishing settlements in the hilly areas of Chhappan and destroying the fields in the flat parts of Mewar, Akbar was involved in the arrangement of sending nutrition to the northern military outposts through Divar. Pratap's policies were definitely successful in removing the outposts of Chhappan and weakening the outposts of Mewar, but the center of Divar was still strong for the Mughals.
In this background, the struggle between Maharana Pratap of Divar and the Mughals was connected. To prepare for this war, Pratap prepared a new plan to strengthen his power. By the way, the area of Chhappan had been merged with the Mughals and due to lack of logistics in the central Mewar, the Mughal outposts had become lifeless, now there was a need to take steps only in relation to the Mughal outposts and Divar in North Mewar.
In this regard, the Maharana started sending his expeditions towards Gujarat and Malwa as well as raiding the surrounding Mughal territories. In this sequence, Bhamashah, who was the head of Mewar and the leader of the military system, attacked Malwa and collected a huge amount of money from there by taking 2.3 lakh rupees and 20 thousand ashrifias as penalty. By bringing this amount, he dedicated Maharana to Chulia village. Meanwhile, when Shahbaz Khan had returned disappointed, the Maharana established his authority over the Mughal thanas of Kumbhalgarh and Madariya. Maharana's authority on both these places was an indication of the plan to capture Divar.
Therefore, to achieve success in this direction, a new army was organized. Logistics and weapons were collected from place to place. Money and facilities were made available to the soldiers. The enthusiasm of the colleagues of Sirohi, Idar, Jalore was increased. All these arrangements were done secretly. The Mughals got the illusion that Pratap was leaving Mewar and going elsewhere. The soldiers of the Mughal outposts who were saved from such an atmosphere of confusion, started living defiantly. When all the preparations were done, Maharana Pratap, Ku. Amarsingh, Bhamashah, Chundawat, Shaktawat, Solanki, Padihar, Rajputs of Rawat branch and other Rajput Sardars marched towards Divar with a force. Groups of Bhils were stationed in other routes and valleys to go to Divar, so that no connection could be established with Divar of the military outposts remaining elsewhere in Mewar.
Suddenly when Maharana's army reached Divar, there was a stampede in the Mughal party. The Mughal soldiers left the valley and fled through the northern pass in search of the plains. The Maharana along with his entourage chased the fleeing army. The path of the valley was so thorny and bumpy that the Mughal soldiers accustomed to field warfare became disoriented. Eventually, at the other end of the valley, where there was some width and the source of the river, the Maharana caught them there. Sultan Khan, the Mughal officer of Divar police station, was Kum. Amarsingh surrounded and attacked him with a spear in such a way that it crossed the horse's body tearing Sultankhan. The lives of the horse and the rider were lost. Maharana also completed the work of Bahlolkhan and his horse in the same way. A Rajput chieftain cut off the back leg of the elephant with his sword. In this war, Vijayashree got into the hands of Maharana.
This Maharana's victory proved to be so effective that the Mughal Thanas which were active or inactive in Mewar, whose number is said to be 36, got up from here. The royal army, which was lying here and there like prisoners, fighting, clashing, starving, fled towards the Mughal territories. Even before 1585 AD, Akbar also became indifferent towards Mewar due to the problem of North-West, due to which Maharana now got a good opportunity to engage in public interest by making new capital in Chavand. The victory of Divar is a bright record in the life of Maharana. Where the Battle of Haldighati was a war of moral victory and trial, the Battle of Divar-Chhapli became a decisive battle. As a result of this victory, Maharana's authority was established over entire Mewar. In a sense, in the battle of Haldighati, the Rajputs repaid the blood in Divar. The victory of Divar proved that Maharana's bravery, determination and dynasty pride are irrefutable and indelible, this war also made it clear that the moral force of Maharana's spirit of sacrifice and sacrifice defeated the authoritarian policy. Where Colonel Tod has called Haldighati as 'Thermopali', the war there has been called 'Merothan'. Just as a small unit like Athens defeated the mighty power of Persia in 'Merothan', similarly a small state like Mewar defeated the large military force of the Mughal state in Divar. The story of Maharana's Divar Vijay will always remain a source of inspiration for our country.
Success and Death of Maharana Pratap Singh
From 1579 to 1585, there were rebellions in the Mughal territories of eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, Bihar and Gujarat, and Maharana was also winning one stronghold after another, so as a result, Akbar was involved in suppressing that rebellion and the Mughals from Mewar. The pressure subsided. Taking advantage of this Maharana in 1585 AD in Mewar, the liberation efforts were further intensified. Maharana's army started attacking Mughal outposts and immediately Maharana's authority was re-established at 36 important places including Udaipur.
At the time when Maharana Pratap assumed the throne, he had authority over the land of Mewar at that time, now his power was fully re-established over that part of the land. Even after twelve years of struggle, Akbar could not make any change in it. And thus Maharana Pratap succeeded in liberating Mewar after a long period of struggle and this time proved to be a golden age for Mewar. Akbar's eclipse on Mewar ended in 1585 AD. After that Maharana Pratap got involved in the comforts of his kingdom, but unfortunately only after eleven years, he died in his new capital Chavand on January 19, 1597.
Fearing Maharana Pratap Singh, Akbar took his capital to Lahore and brought it to Agra after Maharana's ascension.
'As a true Rajput, brave, patriot, warrior, protector of the motherland, Maharana Pratap became immortal forever in the world.
Akbar's reaction to the death
Akbar was the biggest enemy of Maharana Pratap, but his fight was not the result of any personal malice, but a fight for his principles and values. One was the one who wanted to expand his brutal empire, while on one side was Maharana Pratap who was fighting for the independence of his motherland India. Akbar felt very sad on the death of Maharana Pratap because he was an admirer of Maharana Pratap's qualities and Akbar knew that there is no hero like Maharana Pratap on this earth. Akbar became mysteriously silent after hearing this news and tears welled up in his eyes.
Akbar was in Lahore at the time of Maharana Pratap's death and there he got information that Maharana Pratap had died. Akbar's courtier Dursa Aadha wrote a description in Rajasthani verse on Akbar's mood at that time:-
"As Lego Undag Pug Lego Unnami
Go Ada Gavday Jiko Bahato Ghurwami
Navroze na gayo na go aastan navalli Na go jharokha heth jeth world dahalli
Gehlot Rana won Dasan Mund Rasna Dasi
Nisa mook bhariya nain to mrit shah pratapasi"
Translation in English
“O Gehlot, Rana Pratap Singh, on your death, that is, the emperor pressed his tongue between his teeth and shed tears with determination. Because you never put Mughalia stain on your horses. You did not bow your turban in front of anyone, although you have lost your Aada i.e. fame or kingdom, but still you are walking the axle of your kingdom from your left shoulder. Your queens never went to Navroz and neither did you yourself go to Asaton i.e. the royal camps. You never stood under the royal window and your aura remained constant on the world. That's why I say that you have won all the way and the king has lost”.
Millions of salutations to such brave Shiromani Maharana Pratap and his devotee Ashwa Chetak, who sacrificed their entire lives for the independence of their motherland.
According to historian Vijay Nahar's book Hinduva Surya Maharana Pratap, some facts were revealed.
- Maharana Udai Singh invented a new method of warfare - guerilla warfare. They themselves could not use it, but Maharana Pratap, Maharana Raj Singh and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj successfully used it and achieved success over the Mughals.
- Maharana Pratap did not lose to Mughal Emperor Akbar. Dusted him and his generals. Pratap won the battle of Haldighati. After being defeated in Haldighati against Maharana Pratap, Akbar himself attacked Maharana three times from June to December 1576 with a huge army, but could not find Maharana, but by getting trapped in Maharana's trap, the army was destroyed due to lack of food and water. Get it done Exhausted, Akbar went to Malwa via Banswara. Even after living in Mewar for the whole seven months, he went to Arabia rubbing his hands. Army was sent three times against Maharana under the leadership of Shahbaz Khan but failed. After that army was sent against Maharana under the leadership of Abdul Rahim Khan-Khana and returned after being beaten. Akbar continued to attack against Maharana with full force for 9 years. He kept on suffering losses and finally got tired and stopped looking at Mewar.
- Such an opportunity never came in Pratap's life that he had to write a letter to Akbar for a treaty when he had to eat bread made of grass. In these days, Maharana Pratap got a stepwell constructed on Sunga mountain and got a beautiful garden planted. Maharana's army consisted of one Raja, three Raos, seven Rawats, 15000 horsemen, 100 elephants, 20000 footmen and 100 Vajitras. Maharana Pratap used to make all arrangements including food for such a large army. Then how can such an incident happen that Maharana's family had to eat grass bread. During the last twelve years of his life, he established good governance over Mewar and gave a prosperous life.
- Prithviraj Rathore, the court poet of Akbar, was also a great admirer of Maharana Pratap.
