Though centuries of history was unfair to Maharana Pratap, the Rajasthan government when BJP was in power, reinstated the original history in the textbooks that said Maharana Pratap had defeated Akbar.ĭr Chandrashekhar Sharma, a professor at Udaipur’s government Meera Kanya Mahavidyalaya had published a finding. But in reality, it was Maharana Pratap of Mewar who had defeated Akbar, even though his Army was very small when compared to Akbar. Such was the strength and battle skills of Maharana Pratap.īut few of the distorted history books claim that Maharana Pratap was defeated by Mughal King Akbar in the battle of Haldighati. Yes, Maharana Pratap sliced the head of Behlol Khan, his swordsman and the horse in a single strike. Note that Behlol Khan was one of the mightiest fighters of those time and he had previously killed several men of Maharana Pratap in battles.


And then came the final encounter when Maharana Pratap had to face Behlol Khan, who was the commander of Mughals. With every passing seconds, the head of the Mughals was rolling on the floor and it was just one man, Maharana Pratap, who was slaying them. The men guarding Man Singh were in hundreds but it didn’t stop Maharana Pratap from advancing towards his target. Man Singh was guarded by the soldiers of Akbar who were shouting several slogans to boost their men’s morale. It’s because the Army of Maharana Pratap was totally outnumbered in comparison with the Mughals. Now the aim of Maharana Pratap was to eliminate the traitor Man Singh but it was not easy. This is one such story where Maharana Pratap was deceived by one of his men and his name was Man Singh who had joined the Mughals. It is an unwritten truth that Hindustan came under the control of Islamic invaders and the British only because few of the Hindustanis had cheated their motherland. Today I’ll say you one chapter from history that will describe the bravery of Maharana Pratap.

But this is not the reality as the battle of Haldighati was won by Maharana Pratap. It is often said that Maharana Pratap lost to Akbar in the battle of Haldighati. Portrait of Maharana Pratap Singh (1572-97) based on miniature made available to artist from palace
