The ruler of mewar, maharana Sangram Singh I was born on April
12, 1484 and is more popularly known by the
name rana sanga. He was head of Rajput confederacy during the sixteenth
century and is known among the powerful rulers of mewar.
His achievements are numerous and because of his stable
ruling and war methods the Mughal lost their empire. Rana sanga fought the two
famous battles- battle of khanwa and battle against the afghan Lodhi Empire,
and Delhi sultanate.
Rana sanga married rani karnavati and has two sons- Udai Singh
II and vikramaditya Singh. Rani Karanavti was also grandmother of the great
mewar ruler maharana pratap. Later she committed jauhar in the chittorgarh fort
in 1535.
Rana sanga was grandson of the famous ruler maharana Kumbha.
He rose to the position of king after his battle with brothers.
Among the great battles fought by maharana Sangram Singh II are these:
·
Battle of khatoli: rana sanga encroached the new
lodhi ruler with a prepared army that was strong and large. The battle
continued for almost five hours and after that the opposite army left away and
fled from the fight. Nut the new prince was caught by rana sanga. The fight of
this battle was so drastic that rana sanga lost his arm that was cut by sword
and he became lame for the entire life. The Muslim rulers were angry with rana
and thought of revenge in the next battle that was the battle of dholpur.
·
Battle of dholpur: this battle was started because
Ibrahim lodhi wanted revenge from rana sanga. But once the mewar ruler came to
know about this he fought with a furious army and once again the Mughal ruler
was defeated by rana sanga. Once the battle was over, rana sanga got many
territories under his empire like the chanderi.
·
Because of many victories, rana sanga came to be
known as principle player in northern India. Rana sanga’s main objective was conquering
the entire whole empire that was under Mughal rulers. He wanted entire Indian
empire under his control and made strategies to fight battles in ways so that
he could win more and more territories.
The ruler left a massive empire for the successors, and died
on 30 January, 1528. His last battle was against Babur, and he wanted to help medini
rai. But at his camp, rana sanga fell ill and died.
