Life Story of Maharana Pratap August 2017 Savior of Liberty and Self-Respect
Life Story of Maharana Pratap August 2017 Savior of Liberty and self-respect, ‘Hindua Suraj’ - Maharana Pratap ‘Shesha naag sir sehas paye, dhar rakhi khud aap, Ik bhala ri nok pai, thay dhabi partap!’ – Ram Singh Solanki Meaning: Shesh –the remainder, that which remains when all else cease to exist. Naag - Serpent. Shesha Naag is said to hold the planets of the universe on his hoods. He has to use his thousand hoods to protect and stabilize the unstable earth. But, Oh Pratap! You stabilized and protected the entire motherland, solely on the tip of your spear. Where the Snake God held the Earth on its thousands of heads; there, Oh! Brave Maharana Pratap, you have not only held your land on the tip of your spear but also used the strength of your spears to protect it. Maharana Pratap was the hundred and fourth heir of the great Sun dynasty ‘Suryavansh’. The Kings of erstwhile India were divided into two dynastic categories namely ‘Suryavanshi’ and ‘Chandravanshi’ based on the Sun and Moon Gods respectively. Mythological texts and manuscripts also refer to these two dynasties in which the ‘Suryavanshi’ Kings hold greater significance. This ‘Suryavansh’ dynasty was later known as ‘Rughavansh’ dynasty tracing its ancestry to ‘Surya’ the Sun God. The incarnation of Lord Rama, destroyer of the malevolent demon Ravana also occurred in the ‘Suryavanshi’ dynasty and it is believed that the Kingdom of Mewar originated from Luv, the elder son of Rama. This dynastic tradition continued with the birth of the popular King Guhaditya/Guhil in 568 CE and the dynasty was thus referred to as ‘Guhilvansh’/’Guhilot’ with ‘Rawal’ as its title.

Yet, what this discipline frequently neglects is an examination of how history informs tradition. Local knowledge of history, while it may contradict available historical evidence, is an important indicator of the social, economic, and political pressures a group is experiencing. History investigates processes over time, while tradition is decidedly anachronistic in its function and conceptualization.

The Battle of Haldighati
GAUTAM SINGH UPSC STUDY MATERIAL – INDIAN HISTORY 0 7830294949 UNIT 94 – UPSC - The Battle of Haldighati India's History : Medieval India : The Battle of Haldighati - 1576 Haldighati The battle of Haldighati has gone down in the annals of Indian history as one which showcased the great valour of the Rajput troops led by their scion Rana Pratap. The result was indecisive, but the battle was truly symbolic of the raw courage, spirit of sacrifice, and loyalty of the Rajputs in their heroic defence of their motherland. Location Haldighati, is a small village in the Aravalli Hills about 44 km north of Udaipur and about 1,839 m. above sea level. Beyond this is Haldighati Pass, a narrow defile almost a kilometre in length, running south to northeast and finally ending in a broad plain. An interesting geographical feature of the pass is its soft yellow soil, which when crumbled resembles the turmeric (haldi), which gives the place its name. It was here that the famous Battle of Haldighati was fought on June 18, 1576 between Maharana PRATAP SINGH of Mewar and the Imperial army of Emperor Akbar of Delhi. The Moghul and the Rajput Haldighati, Battle of (June 18, 1576), a four-hour confrontation between the Imperial forces of Mughal Emperor AKBAR and Maharana PRATAP SINGH I (1572-1597) of Mewar. Despite it being an indecisive battle - an inglorious success of sorts for the Mughals and "a glorious defeat" for Mewar - it has entered the annals as one of the kingdom's most memorable episodes. By the mid 1500s, in his bid to rule all of India, Emperor Akbar had forced all Rajput kingdoms, except Mewar, to become part of his empire.

Resistance of Maharana Pratap Against Akbar
SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/DR. KHALID BASHIR (1478-1493) RESISTANCE OF MAHARANA PRATAP AGAINST AKBAR Khalid Bashir, Ph.D. Ph .D History. Abstract When Rana Pratap took over as the Maharana (King) of Mewar, the political scene in India was not stable. Mughal emperor Akbar was in control of Chittor, the ancient capital of Mewar but he wanted to occupy whole of Mewar. His dream of whole of the India under the Mughal dynasty required Mewar to be under him. On the other hand Pratap, as a matter of self respect, wished Chittor to be his capital of ancestors. By 1573 Akbar realised that Pratap would never accept his supremacy over Mewar. The emperor Akbar was therefore keen to strike a peace deal with Pratap singh and historians believe that Akbar sent six delegations for the same. The first three missions were led by Jalal Khan Qurchi, the fourth by Raja Man Singh, the fifth by Raja Bhagwan Das, and the sixth by Raja Todar Mal. The fifth mission of Bhagwan Das was first fruitful in that the Rana Pratap agreed to put on a robe presented by Akbar and he sent his son Amar Singh to the Mughal court, but later on Maharana Pratap rejected all the missions, the principal reason of rejection was that, the Maharana was not prepared to compromise the independence, integrity and sovereignty of Mewar. It is also said that the Mewar Rajputs castigated Man Singh of Amber, who himself was a Rajput general, for being a member of Mughal army, who headed the fourth delegation that the emperor sent to Mewar.

MAHARANA PRATAP VE HALDİGHATİ SAVAŞI Korhan KAYA
Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Dergisi 53, 2 (2013) 365-376 MAHARANA PRATAP VE HALDİGHATİ SAVAŞI Korhan KAYA Öz Mevar ileri gelenleri 1572’de Pratap’ı yönetici ilan ettiler. Pratap, yirmi beş yıllık idaresinde tek başına ülkesinin bağımsızlığı için savaştı. Onun önünde aşması gereken çok büyük engeller ve zorlu koşullar bulunuyordu. Kardeşleri bile Moğol tarafına geçmiş, pek çok Racput prensi de Amber prensinin peşine takılmışlardı. Çittor kalesinin son kuşatma ve yağmalanmasından sonra birçok Racput savaşçı öldürülmüş, Mevar’ın verimli toprakları yakılıp yağmalanmıştı. İnsan ve para yoktu, Pratap için teslim olmak huzur ve bolluk demekti. Fakat o böyle bir hayatı reddetti, tehlikeli ve zorlu yolu seçti. Yanında birkaç sadık dostu, savaş atı Çetak, güçlü Bhillalar ve sonraki yaşamında para desteği yapan veziri Bhama Shah ile durumu lehine çevirmeyi başardı ve Moğolların muazzam ordusunu geri püskürttü. Başlangıç savaşı olan Haldighati savaşı, Mevar racputları ve Maharana Pratap için çok önemliydi. Ancak bu savaş onun Türklere veya Moğollara karşı yaptığı bir savaş değildi. Bu, ülkesini korumak için, bağımsızlık için yaptığı bir savaştı. Anahtar Sözcükler: Pratap, Ekber, Man Singh, Haldighati, Çetak, Mevar, Bhiller, Bhama Shah. Abstract Maharana Pratap and Battle of Haldighati The chiefs of Mewar proclaimed Pratap as the ruler of Mewar at 1572 A.D. Pratap, for a long period of 25 years, maintained the independence of his country, single minded. His path was beset with thorns and he had to undergo many obstacles and tribulations. His two brothers had already joined the Mughals and most of the Rajput rajas had fallen in line with the prince of Amber. In the last sack of Chittor, many Rajput warriors had been killed and the fertile plains of Mewar had been devastated or seized.
