Pratap Singh, popularly known as the Maharana Pratap, was the 13th Maharana of Mewar known for his valiant and spirited defence against the Mughal Empire.
He was one of the bravest Rajput
rulers of India, who ruled Mewar in Rajasthan for 35 years.
While other Rajput rulers
accepted the supremacy of Akbar, he was one of the few rulers in Indian history
who stood firm against the mighty Mughal Empire.
Maharana Pratap is known for his
spirited defence against Mughal expansionism, remaining a thorn on its side
until his death
Maharan Pratap died of injuries
sustained in a hunting accident, at Chavand on 19 January 1597, aged 56.
He was succeeded by his eldest son, Amar Singh I. On his death bed, Maharana Pratap told his son never to submit to the Mughals and to win chittor back.
