Maharana Pratap was a sixteenth-century Hindu Rajput king of Mewar, a region in western India. He was born on May 9, 1540, in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan, to Udai Singh II and his wife Jaiwanta Bai. Pratap is considered one of the greatest warriors in Indian history and is revered for his bravery and resistance against the Mughal Empire.
In 1568, Emperor Akbar sent his armies to conquer Mewar, but Pratap refused to surrender. Instead, he gathered a small group of followers and waged a guerrilla war against the Mughals for nearly two decades. Despite being outnumbered and outmatched, Pratap's tactics and leadership allowed him to evade the Mughals and maintain his independence.
Pratap died on January 19, 1597, at the age of 56. Today, he is remembered as a symbol of Rajput pride and is celebrated for his bravery and resistance against the Mughals. His life and legacy continue to inspire many in India and around the world.
