Pratap had rebuilt his capital in the city of Chavand, around 60 kilometers south of Udaipur, and spent the rest of his life there. He would also wear an armor weighing 72 kilograms. Standing at 7 feet 5 inches, he would carry an 80-kilogram spear and two swords weighing around 208 kilograms in total. Maharana Pratap is revered as one of the strongest warriors India has ever seen. He was the 13th Rajput king of Mewar, Rajasthan. When Mahara Pratap became the King? Mahara Pratap became the King of Mewar in 1572, after the death of Udai Singh.
Maharana Pratap had three younger brothers - Shakti Singh, Vikram Singh and Jagmal Singh. But as per the English calendar the birth anniversary of the 13th Rajput king of Mewar - Pratap Singh I is celebrated every year on May 9. The Rana was never ever captured by Akbar and died in 1597 due to injuries caused by a hunting accident, thus till the end giving the slip to Akbar “The Great”.As per the Hindu calendar, his Jayanti is celebrated on the third day of the month of Jyeshta. During his hideouts it is said that he lived a life of abject poverty along with his family, even eating bread made of grass. He, during his exile, fought another battle at Dewar against Akbar’s forces, and freed most of Mewar, though his birthplace Chittor was lost to Akbar. Many failed attemptsĮven after being defeated in the battle, Rana evaded Akbar’s capture for the next 20 years. Though defeated, Rana managed to escape Akbar’s clutches. In this famous battle, which he fought against Raja Man Singh, Akbar’s brother-in-law and right hand man at the time, Rana proved a heady opponent and challenged with his puny regiment of 20,000 men as against Akbar’s 80,000. It is said that the king at this time used to eat with leaf plates and sleep on the floor. Penanceĭuring this time he also imposed poverty on himself to stay focused on the war and asked his army to vow their unswerving allegiance to the cause of freedom from the Mughals. This was because the Rajputs could tackle the mountain, while the Mughals were unaware of the terrain. Pratap became a folk hero for his military resistance against the expansionism of the Mughal Empire under Akbar through Guerrilla warfare which proved inspirational for later rebels against Mughals including Shivaji Early life and accession. During this time, the clever king asked everybody to move to the Aravali mountains and ordered them to leave nothing behind for the Mughal army to take away. Pratap Singh I, popularly known as Maharana Pratap, was a king of Mewar from the Sisodia dynasty. Preparation for WarĪfter losing Chittor to Akbar, Rana Pratap began preparing for the inevitable war with Akbar to save his other kingdoms. Though Akbar has been recognized in history for annexing individual principalities to form an empire, Rana Pratap too had his share of conquests like the Vagad, and Chhappan areas and maintained social decorum in the Godwad and the Arawali ranges of Rajasthan. Despite sending 6 official missions to coax the King to accept defeat, Akbar couldn’t win over this brave Rajput opponent.
In the 16 th century, when most Kings were handing over their kingdoms and powers to Akbar, and when Uday Singh II too had accepted defeat, his valorous son Rana Pratap Singh refused to follow suit and challenged the emperor from Mewar to fight him. Since there are many books and films on Akbar the Great, here are some reasons that turn the table a bit making it a harder task to compare these two legends as easily as we’ve been doing. It’s precisely this “The Great” that both the ministers seem to be having a problem with and many attribute this to the Hindutva sentiments the both of them share. But since one was a king of a small part of the country while the other an emperor of the whole, most votes have inclined towards Akbar “The Great”.
