India is the land of brave warriors. There have been many such heroes on the blessed land of India who have presented unique examples of patriotism from time to time with their strength & might. We know most of brave heroes,One of them is ‘Maharana Pratap’. Maharana Pratap is the symbol of valor & National Pride in Indian History.
This is the Story of 16th Century. When Delhi was ruled by Mughal Empire.At the time when all the states were falling under the Mughal rule. On 9 May 1540, a hero was born in Kumbhalgarh Fort in Sisodiya Dynasty who was named Pratap Singh. Pratap Singh was the eldest son of King Uday Singh Sisodiya of Mewar. Being a descendant of Rajputana,Pratap Singh had courage ,valor & Sacraments.
In 1567, the Mughal ruler Akbar attacked the fort of Chittor,in which Rana Uday Singh was send our from fort with his family for the Nation’s Favour. As a result of this battle, the fort of Chittor was captured by Mughal Empire & there was Johar held in Chittor which was known as Jan Johar. After losing Chittor fort Maharana Pratap along with his father built Udaipur & made his Capital. As brave as Pratap Singh was, he was also a Paternal devotee. Father Rana Uday Singh loved his junior son Jagmal very much. That is why he declare him the Successor of the state. Which Maharana did not even protest at all. Jagmal was made king after Rana uday singh death, But Maharana took over the kingdom after Jagmal’s anti – National thinking & the request of ministers. There were many great kings in Rajputana but Maharana only ate Pratap Singh Sisodiya.
Mewar was small but naturally a very convenient state which is Mughal Empire wanted their supermacy over it. For which Akbar made many efforts but he couldn’t succeded in front of Maharana’s true patriotism & courage. In 1575 there was a war between Akbar & Maharana Pratap at Haldighati which became on the biggest war in the world’s history. In which Akbar had thousands of army, then Maharana Pratap had only 1000-1500 Rajput soldiers & Some Bhils. But is spite of this Maharana’s Army dusted Akbar Army.
Maharana Pratap was a true patriot & brave warrior.India will always remember him for his courage & Dignity.
