The name Maharana Pratap brings to the mind the image of an indefatigable warrior who did not bow before an invader. Over the years, the story of the 16th century king of Mewar, who took head on the might of Mughal emperor Akbar, transcended the rough landscape of Rajasthan and firmly ensconced itself in the hearts of the people in every corner of India. That he was one of the Rajput rulers to have never submitted turned Pratap into an inspiring hero to many. Who won the Battle of Haldighati, fought between Emperor Akbar’s Mughal army and the Mewar forces of Maharana Pratap? The story of Haldighati has been told and sung century after century. It is a story of great courage and sacrifice; of the clash of indomitable wills; of Mughal ambition and expansion versus Rajput pride and honour.
