Our forgotten Heroes – Rana Pratap
Pratap Singh of Mewar was the powerful Hindu sovereign of Mewar, situated at the north-western part of India. He is popularly known as Rana Pratap.
He is the grandson of Udai Singh, the ruler of Chittod. He is the epitome of Rajput pride and courage. He was the gallant Rajput king who fought against the powerful army of Mughal emperor Akbar to defend the sovereignty of Mewar. He had to fight not only against the forceful Mughals but also against several other rajput rulers such as Raja Man Singh and Raja Todar Mal as they allied with the Mughal to safeguard their own states.
Though Rana Pratap was not successful in thwarting the Muslim invasion, his persistent efforts in saving Mewar made him an unforgettable legend.
