Maharana Pratap's birth, death, Chetak Horse, Mewar, war with Mughals or Akbar, All information in English. 


 Maharana Pratap with whom a powerful king like Akbar never dared to fight from the front.  Because he feared that a blow of Maharana Pratap's sword, along with the horse, irritated the horse in two parts.  So somewhere in the war with Rana, this should not happen to him.  Maharana Pratap, the king of Mewar, whose height was 7.6 feet, his armor weighing 70 kg, shoes weighing 10 - 10 kg, sword 10 kg and spear weighing 80 kg. His horse named Chetak who ran at the speed of the wind and  His elephant's name was Ramprasad who single-handedly defeated the 12 elephants of Akbar in the war.

Now about the life, birth of Maharana Pratap -

 Maharana Pratap was born on 9 May 1540 AD in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan. His father was Shri Maharaj Uday Singh and mother Jayavanti Kunwar.  His mother was not only his mother but also his mother and guru.  In the beginning, Mother had taught him about Rajput dignity, religion and ability to lead.  Since childhood, Maharana Pratap was a very courageous, fearless and independent thinking person. Later he was married to Princess Ajvade Parmar.

 The sons of Maharana Pratap were named Rana Amar Singh and Rana Bhagwan Das. He was also a great warrior.  About which we will read further in this story.  One of the queens of Maharana Pratap's father Uday Singh, Queen Dhir Bai wanted her son Jagmal to be the king of Mewar.  For this, he put a lot of pressure on Raja Uday Singh, he also agreed.  But despite the most worthy Maharana Pratap, Raja Saheb announced the succession of his 9th son Jagmal, but Rana Pratap did not object. Preparations for the coronation were being done.  But Uday Singh's ministers did not find it appropriate. He explained to the king a lot - extinguished then the king's eyes opened and then Maharana Pratap was enthroned on 28 February 1572 AD. This led to Jagmal's fiery outburst and Akbar left him to join Shippur.  Handed him over.

Story of the conflict between Maharana Pratap and the Mughals -

Maharana Pratap declared war on Mughals as soon as he became king.  Because before Rana Pratap became king, Chittor, the capital of Mewar, was occupied by the Mughals.  Therefore, as soon as he became king, he declared war with the Mughals and his army repeatedly attacked and rescued the sixes of the Mughals.  Akbar then sent Raja Man Singh, Raja Bhagwantdas and one of his Navratnas to King Todarmal as his messenger 8 times between 1573 - 1575, but Rana Pratap did not accept Akbar's suzerainty.  Then Akbar offered him to give half of India to Mewar.  Still Maharana Pratap loved his small kingdom and independence.  Not bowing down to the Mughals, Rana Pratap also rejected this proposal. Akbar wanted Mewar even at such a great cost, because the way to trade was from Mewar to join the Western countries through the throne of Delhi and  On this road there was a bay like a rock, the throne of Mewar and Maharana Pratap with independent ideology.

War of Chetak and Maharana Pratap Haldighati's Historical War of Haldi Valley (1576) -

Tired of defeat, there was a huge war between the Mughal army and Maharana Pratap in the Haldi valley in 1576 AD.  The Mughals had a huge army of 80,000, while Maharana Pratap had an army of only 15,000.  Still Maharana Pratap did not panic, said that one of our army soldiers will kill 5 soldiers of the enemy.  In the war, Maharana Pratap attacked the chief army husband of Mughal army, Ballol Khan with his sword, that he burst like a leaf from top to bottom with his horse. Panic spread in the Mughal army.  Ramprasad, the elephant of Rana Pratap, was very powerful and famous even to the Mughal army.  So far 8 Mughal elephants had been killed. Then the Mughal army surrounded the 12 elephants from all sides and killed the Mahavat, causing Ramprasad to become uncontrollable and the Mughal army took him captive and presented him in Akbar's palace.  Maharana Pratap, sitting on his Chetak horse, while fighting with a spear with Raja Man Singh, sitting on the elephant in front, injured Man Singh's elephant.  Then, due to the sword, one of his horse's feet was injured. Seeing the opportunity, the Mughal army started firing arrows at them from all sides. They faced them firmly.  When surrounded from all sides, Chetak brought them out of the war with the speed of air.  Despite his injured feet, he came towards the forest at the same speed and on the way a 28-fit moat came and he was also tapped by his injured feet.  After reaching Rana Pratap safely, he became unconscious.  Thus he died of a heart attack.  Rana Pratap was deeply saddened by the loss of his companions. In this war, a total of 15,000 armies were killed from both sides. For about 300 years, the soil of the Haldighati valley land looked red due to blood.  It is still red somewhere.

Akbar ordered his army to feed and subdue Ramprasad, the elephant of Maharana Pratap, to keep giving him one good meal for 28 days, but he did not eat even one grain and gave up his body. Then Akbar said -  When Maharana Pratap could not make himself, then how would I make Maharana Pratap a slave?

The life ahead of Maharana Pratap -

Now again Maharana Pratap prepared an army with wild tribal Bhils and started a raid on the Mughal army.  Today, the Mughal army got distracted due to the attack here and tomorrow.  They did not know that the next attack would be called.  Then there was a decisive war between Mughal and Rana Pratap which is known as Dewar's war.

Battle of Dewar:-

In the Battle of Dewar, Rana Amar Singh, the son of Maharana Pratap, also tore Sultan Khan, who represented the Mughal army, with a sword, with a middle horse, and the Mughal army's Ajmer governor Khana - Khana Rahim, who was famous poet of Akbar.  Were, took him and his wife's children captive.  When Maharana Pratap came to know about this, he became very angry at Rana Amar Singh and immediately ordered him to leave, and said that capturing women and children is against our Rajput religion. Rahim seeing Maharana Pratap's wayward heart  Has written many couplets and poems on them.

Death of Maharana Pratap -

Maharana Pratap got injured while hunting in the forest in 1596 AD and could never recover from this injury. Finally on January 19, 1597, he left this earth and went to heaven.

Akbar was overjoyed to hear this news and also very sad because all over India was the only person here in the year. Akbar could never make a rose.  His dream of capturing Maharana Pratap could never be fulfilled. Akbar cried a lot at the death of one of his enemies. The rich court said a lot about the antagonism of Maharana Pratap.

Sisodia dynasty became very angry like Bappa Rawal, Rana Hamir, Rana Sanga etc. But Maharana was only called Rana Pratap.  Whenever he used to go, he would definitely put a pinch of Mewar soil on his forehead and take it with him.

 (Akbar never won from him and he never lost)

 (These are the first people who taught us how to be independent, and never learned to accept subjugation)
