Pratap Singh I (lit. 'Bravery or Dignity'); popularly known as Maharana Pratap (c. 9 May 1540 – 19 January 1597) was a king of Mewar from the Sisodia dynasty.[4] He was the son of Rana Udai Singh and Maharani Jaivanta Bai and the grandson of Rana Sanga and Rani Karnavati. 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. He was known as one of the greatest warrior and one of the best Javelin thrower.[5]
Pratap ascended the throne in 1572, post his father Udai Singh II and became the 13th Rana of Mewar. Rana Pratap sought to avenge the 1567 pillage of his capital, Chittor and subsequent raids by Akbar; this was in notable contrast to his fellow Hindu princes, who had submitted to the Mughals. Because of his fight for freedom against the Mughals, Pratap is widely regarded as India's first native freedom fighter.[6]
Pratap was succeeded as Rana by his son Amar Singh I, post his death in 1597. He was the grandfather of Karan Singh II.
Early life and family
Maharana Pratap was born on 9 May 1540 in Kumbhalgarh to Udai Singh II of Mewar and his queen consort, Maharani Jaivanta Bai, the same year his father ascended the throne in Kumbhalgarh.[7] He was the grandson of Rana Sanga and Rani Karnavati. Pratap belonged to the Royal Sisodia family of Mewar.[8]
Pratap's younger step-brothers were Shakti Singh and Vikramdev Singh from his step-mother Sajja Bai Solankini. His other brothers were Jagmal Singh, Agar Singh and Pachyad Singh from his step-mother Dheer Bai Bhatiyani. He also had two step-sisters Maan Kanwar and Chand Kanwar.[9]
Maharana Pratap childhood helped him in becoming the great warrior. His childhood was spent mainly at Kumbhalgarh and Chittor.[10] His mother Jaivanta Bai narrated the folklore of valor and honor, of his ancestors, Ramayana, Mahabharata and taught war principles of Krishna to Maharana Pratap during his childhood, in order to shape the character of her son.[11]
Marriages
Maharana Pratap got married to Ajabde Punwar of Bijolia when she was 15 years old and he was 17 years old. She was his childhood friend and remained his chief consort and favourite queen.[12] Ajabde gave birth to his successor Amar Singh I and his other son Bhagwan Das. She played an important role in Pratap's administrative decisions and court matters. She also accompanied him to the forest after the Battle of Haldighati.[13]
Pratap fifth wife was Phool Bai Rathore the princess of Marwar. This marriage based on political alliance, strengthened Mewar and Marwar's relation. He has two sons with Phool Bai. His other queens were Solanki princess Solankhinipur Bai, Champa Bai Jhati, Chauhan princess Jasobai Chauhan, Hada princess Shahmati Bai Hadi, Khichar Asha Bai, Chauhan princess Alamde Bai Chauhan, Parmar princess Ratnawati Bai Parmar, Rathore princess Amar Bai Rathore and Lakha Bai. All these marriages were the result of political alliance.[14]
Maharana Pratap had 15 more sons including Chanda Singh, Shekha Singh, Durjan Singh, Maal Singh, Ram Singh and 5 daughter including Rakhnavati, Durgavati, Kusumavati among others, from his other queens. All his sons were provided jagirs of various places.[15]
Reign
Accession to throne
After the death of Udai Singh in 1572, Rani Dheer Bai wanted her son Jagmal Singh to succeed him to the throne.[16] But senior courtiers preferred Pratap, as the eldest son, to be their king. The desire of the nobles prevailed. Udai Singh died in 1572, and Prince Pratap ascended the throne as Maharana Pratap, the 54th ruler of Mewar in the line of the Sisodia Rajputs and the 14th Rana of Mewar.[17] Jagmal swore revenge and left for Ajmer, to join the armies of Akbar and obtained the town of Jahazpur as a Jagir, a gift in return for his help.[18]
Rana of Mewar
Maharana Pratap ascended the throne post his father Udai Singh II death in 1572. His father left behind a temporary Mewar kingdom government in Gogunda. Pratap faced constant war threats from the Mughals as Akbar wanted the Mewar Kingdom under the Mughals.[19]
To prepare against the Mughals, Pratap first altered his administration. He moved his capital to Kumbhalgarh. Pratap was called the light and life of the Hindu community and was an able administrator.[20] His administrative organization was well structured. Maharana Pratap wanted non-cooperation and passive resistance to Akbar’s tax collectors. On the other hand, his tax-collection was liberal.[21]
Captial at Chavand
Post the Battle of Haldighati, Maharana Pratap wandered in the forest along with his family. They faced hard situations and Pratap then started guerrilla warfare against the Mughals.[22] After 1579, the Mughal pressure relaxed over Mewar and Pratap recovered Western Mewar including Kumbhalgarh, Udaipur and Gogunda.[23]
In 1585, Pratap established the new capital of Mewar at Chavand. Maharana Pratap’s appointed Bhamashah as his prime minister and his brother Tarachand was appointed as a governor of 'Godwad' region. The provided financial support to Pratap during the battle.[24]
Historical accounts
Pratap Singh was known for his hulk-like body structure. According to historians, Maharana had heavy-weight javelin and armour on his chest when he fought in the Haldighati battle on 18 June 1576.[25]
Maharana Pratap was a compassionate human. His bonding with his loyal horse named Chetak who lost his life while jumping across a 21-feet wide river to save his master’s life, is the stuff of legends. He also owned an elephant, Ramprasad, who killed two war elephants of the Mughal army. When Akbar imprisoned Ramprasad, he didn’t eat or drink anything losing his life on the 18th day.[26]
War against Mughals
Background
In stark contrast to other Rajput rulers who accommodated and formed alliances with the various Muslim dynasties in the subcontinent, the state of Mewar, led by Pratap Singh, gained distinction for its refusal to form any political alliance with the Mughal Empire and its resistance to Muslim domination. The conflicts between Pratap Singh and Akbar led to the Battle of Haldighati.[27][28]
Battle of Haldighati
The bloody Siege of Chittorgarh in 1567-1568 had led to the loss of the fertile eastern belt of Mewar to the Mughals. However, the rest of the wooded and hilly kingdom in the Aravalli range was still under the control of Maharana Pratap. Mughal Emperor Akbar was intent on securing a stable route to Gujarat through Mewar; when Pratap Singh was crowned king (Maharana) in 1572, Akbar sent a number of envoys, including one by Raja Man Singh of Amer, entreating him to become a vassal like many other rulers in Rajputana. When Pratap refused to personally submit to Akbar, war became inevitable.[29][30]
The Battle of Haldighati was fought on 18 June 1576 between Pratap Singh and Mughal forces led by Man Singh I of Amer. The Mughals were victorious and inflicted significant casualties among the Mewaris but failed to capture the Pratap.[31][32][33] The site of the battle was a narrow mountain pass at Haldighati near Gogunda, modern day Rajsamand in Rajasthan. Pratap Singh fielded a force of around 3000 cavalry and 400 Bhil archers. The Mughals were led by Man Singh of Amber, who commanded an army numbering around 10,000 men. After a fierce battle lasting more than three hours, Pratap found himself wounded and the day lost. He managed to retreat to the hills and lived to fight another day.[34]
Haldighati was a futile victory for the Mughals, as they were unable to kill or capture Pratap, or any of his close family members in Udaipur.[35] While the sources also claim that Pratap was able to make a successful escape, Mansingh managed to conquer Gogunda within a week after Haldighati then ended his campaign. Subsequently, Akbar himself led a sustained campaign against the Rana in September 1576, and soon, Gogunda, Udaipur, and Kumbhalgarh were all under Mughal control.[35]
Reconquest of Mewar
Mughal pressure on Mewar relaxed after 1579 following rebellions in Bengal and Bihar and Mirza Hakim's incursion into the Punjab. After this, Akbar sent Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan to invade Mewar but he stopped at Ajmer. In 1582, Pratap Singh attacked and occupied the Mughal post at Dewair (or Dewar) in the Battle of Dewair.[36] This led to the automatic liquidation of all 36 Mughal military outposts in Mewar. After this Akbar sent Jagannath Kachhwaha to invade Mewar in 1584.
In 1585, Akbar moved to Lahore and remained there for the next twelve years watching the situation in the north-west. No major Mughal expedition was sent to Mewar during this period. Taking advantage of the situation, Pratap recovered most of Mewar (except its former capital), Chittorgarh and Mandalgarh regions by defeating Mughal forces there. During this period, he also built a new capital, Chavand, near modern Dungarpur.[37]
Revival of Mewar
Maharana Pratap took refuge in the Chappan area and started attacking the Mughal strongholds where he was accompanied by Ajabde Punwar. By 1583 he had successfully captured western Mewar, which included Dewar, Amet, Madariya, Zawar and the fort of Kumbalgarh. Pratap then made Chavand his capital and constructed a Chamunda mata temple there.[38]
The Maharana was able to live in peace for a short time and started establishing order in Mewar. From 1585 till his death, the Rana had recovered a large part of Mewar. The citizens who had migrated out of Mewar started returning during this time. There was good monsoon which helped to revive the agriculture of Mewar. The economy also started getting better and trade in the area started increasing. The Rana was able to capture the territories west of Chittor but could not fulfill his dream of capturing Chittor itself.[39]
Patronage of art
Maharana Pratap's court at Chavand had given shelter to many poets, artists, writers and artisans. The Chavand School Of Art was developed during the reign of Rana Pratap. Pratap patronize and cultivate art, craft and paintings, chief among them was the Ragmala series of paintings.[40]
Dursa Arha wrote nationalist stance in his bold Dingal poems in favor of Maharana Pratap in his struggle against the Mughals. Pratap's love of architecture could be noticed from the places at Ubheshwar, Kamal Nath and Chavand.[41]
The miniature paintings in Udaipur depict the royal festivals of Mewar. In current times, Mewar paintings mostly adorn the walls of the City Palace and the two luxury, heritage properties — Fateh Prakash Palace and Shiv Niwas Palace in Udaipur.[42]

Legacy
Maharana Pratap is a prominent figure in both folk and contemporary Rajasthani culture and is viewed as a celebrated warrior in that state, as well as in India as a whole. He is highly regarded for his war and struggle against the Mughals. Maharana Pratap’s morality and war rules inspired Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan to write poetry in his honor.[46]
Historian Satish Chandra notes –
"Rana Pratap's defiance of the mighty Mughal empire, almost alone and unaided by the other Rajput states, constitute a glorious saga of Rajput valour and the spirit of self sacrifice for cherished principles. Rana Pratap's methods of guerrilla warfare was later elaborated further by Malik Ambar, the Deccani general, and by Emperor Shivaji".[47][48]
Bandyopadhyay also seconds Satish Chandra's view with the observation that
Pratap's successful defiance of Mughals using guerrilla strategy also proved inspirational to figures ranging from Emperor Shivaji to anti-British revolutionaries in Bengal.[49]
In the Book of President, Abraham Lincoln stated –
I was about to come to India, when i asked my mother if i could bring something for her. My mother said, "Bring the sand of Haldighati of that great country, whose king sacrificed his everything for the welfare of his people and loyalty towards his motherland".[50]
