RANA SANGA (RANA SANGRAM SINGH)

RANA SANGA (RANA SANGRAM SINGH)

Rana Sanga (1509 to 1528 AD) is also known as 'Sangram Singh'. He was the son and successor of Rana Raimal (Rule 1473 to 1509 AD). Sangram Singh was famous in the history of Mewar as King Sanga. During his reign, he campaigned against Delhi, Malwa and Gujarat. Rana Sanga was a great warrior and there was not any significant ruler from all the kingdoms of that time who could take the iron.

War need

During Babar's invasion of India, Rana Sanga hoped that he would return home after being looted in Delhi like Timur. But in 1526 AD, Rana Sangaa saw that after defeating Ibrahim Lodi in the "War of Panipat" Babur started ruling in Delhi, then he decided to fight with Babur.

After defeating Mahmud Khilji of Malwa in the war, the impact of Rana Sangaa gradually increased till a small river jaundice near Agra. But in the Indus-Gangetic valley, the establishment of Mughal Empire by Babar increased the risk to Rana Sanga. Rana Sanga started preparations for the expulsion of Babar from India and at least to restrict him to Punjab.

Rana Sanga's assistant

There is no information that Rana Sangha had compromised with Babar. It may be that he imagined a long battle and thought that as long as he could be able to own those territories on which he had his eyesight. Or perhaps he thought that Babur would return like Taimur, after crushing Delhi and weakening the power of the Lodhans. Babar's decision to stay in India completely changed the situation completely. Many Afghans, including Ibrahim Lodi's younger brother Mahmud Lodi, supported Rana Sangha by thinking that if she won, then she would get back the Delhi throne. Hassan Khand Mewati, ruler of Mewat also took the side of Rana Sanga. Almost all major Rajput princes sent their forces to Rana's service.

Jihad slogan
Babar's sepoy's morale fell due to his initial successes on the outskirts of Mughal cantonments like fame and earnestness in Rana Sanga. Babar gave the slogan "Jihad" against Rana Sanga to fill the courage again.

On the evening before the battle, he reversed the pitches of alcohol and bruised the stones to prove himself a true Muslim. He banned liquor purchases in his state and removed the border from the Muslims. Babar very carefully selected the place of the place and he reached the place called Khanwa, forty kilometers away from Agra. Like Panipat, he pursued the dual security method by putting the carriage in the outer line and digging a gap with it. In the row of these three-wheeled trains, space was left to move forward and fire the bullets.

Battle of Khanwa

There was a tremendous conflict in the battle of 'Khanwa' (1527). According to Babar, there were more than 200,000 soldiers in Sanga's army. Of them 10,000 Afghan cavalry and so many of them were Hussain Khan Mawati soldiers. This number may also have been extended and extended like places, but Babur's army was undoubtedly small. Sanga strongly attacked Babar's right army and almost gave him a distinction. But Babur's artillery killed a lot of soldiers and the shadow was thrown away. On this occasion, Babar asked the centrally located soldiers, who were hiding behind the trains, to attack them. The artillery tied with cars was also carried forward.
