Kunwar Uday Singh Rathore MAHARANA PARTAP Reign 1568–1597 Born 9 May 1540 Birthplace Kumbhalgarh Fort, Rajasthan, India Died 19 January 1597 (aged 56) Predecessor Udai Singh II Successor Amar Singh I[1] Consort Maharani Ajbade Punwar[2] (11 wives) Issue Amar Singh Bhagwan Das (17 sons) Royal House Sisodia Father Udai Singh II Mother Maharani Jaivantabai[2] Religious beliefs Hinduism In 1568, during the reign of Udai Singh, Chittor was conquered by the Mughal Emperor Akbar after the third Jauhar at Chittor.[citation needed] However, Udai Singh and the royal family of Mewar had left before the fort was captured and moved to the foothills of the Aravalli Range where Udai Singh had already founded the city of Udaipur in 1559.[5] Rana Udai Singh had wished Jagmal, his son, from his favorite - the Bhatiyani queen to succeed him.[6] But after his death the senior nobles wanted Pratap, the eldest son, to be their king as was customary. During the coronation ceremony, Jagmal was physically moved out of the palace by the Chundawat Chief and Tomar chief Ramshah and prevailed upon Pratap, who was crowned as the next Rana of Digvijaya Singh ShaktawatChittorgarh, Prataps ancestral home, was under Mughal occupation. Living a life on the run, the dream of reconquering Chittor (and thus reclaiming the glory of Mewar) was greatly cherished by Pratap, and his future efforts were bent towards this goal. Nearly all of Prataps fellow Rajput chiefs had meanwhile entered into the vassalage of the Mughals. Even Prataps own brothers, Shakti Singh and Sagar Singh, served Akbar. Indeed, many Rajput chiefs, such as Raja Man Singh of Amber (later known as Maharaja of Jaipur) served as army commanders in Akbars armies and as members of his council. Akbar sent a total of six diplomatic missions to Pratap, seeking to negotiate the same sort of peaceful alliance that he had concluded with the other Rajput chiefs. This is clearly evidential of the ends sought by each of the two rulers. Battle of Haldighati On June 21, 1576 (June 18 by other calculations), the two armies met at Haldighati, near the town of Gogunda in present-day Rajasthan. While accounts vary as to the exact strength of the two armies, all sources concur that the Mughal forces outnumbered Prataps men. Prithviraj Chauhan Born 1149 Died 1192 (aged 43) Other names Prithvi Raj III Occupation 12th-century king of Ajmer andPrithvi Raj III, commonly known as Prithviraj Chauhan (1149–1192 CE), was a king of the Hindu Chauhan dynasty, who ruled the kingdoms of Ajmer and Delhi in northern India during the latter half of the 12th century. Prithviraj Chauhan belonged to the Rajput Chauhan clan and was the last independent Hindu king, before Hemu, to sit upon the throne of Delhi. He succeeded to the throne in 1169 CE at the age of 20, and ruled from the twin capitals of Ajmer and Delhi which he received from his maternal grandfather Arkpal or Anangpal III of the Tomara dynasty in Delhi. He controlled much of present-day Rajasthan and Haryana, and unified the Rajputs against Muslim invasions. His elopement in 1175 with Samyukta (Sanyogita), the daughter of Jai Chandra Rathod, the Gahadvala king of Kannauj, is a popular romantic tale in India, and is one of the subjects of the Prithviraj Raso, an epic poem composed by Chauhans court poet and friend, Chand Bardai. Chauhan defeated the Muslim ruler Shahabuddin Muhammad Ghori in the First Battle of Tarain in 1191. Ghauri attacked for a second time the next year, and Chauhan was defeated and captured at the Second Battle of Tarain (1192). Ghori took Chauhan to Ghazni and killed him. BANDA SINGH BHADUR BORN AS Lachman Dev, also known as and Madho Das[1][2]) (27 October 1670, Rājaurī–9 June 1716, Delhi) was a Sikh military commander. He is revered as one of the greatest Sikh warriors and most hallowed martyrs of the Khalsa Army. At age 15 he left home to become an ascetic, and was given the name ‘’Madho Das’’. He established a monastery at Nāndeḍ, on the bank of the river Godāvarī, where in September 1708 he met and became a disciple of Guru Gobind Singh, who gave him the new name of Banda Singh Bahadur. Armed with the blessing and authority of Gobind Singh, he assembled a fighting force and led the struggle against the Mughal Empire . His first major action was the sack of the Mughal provincial capital, Samana, in November 1709.[1] His agrarian uprising against the Mughal administration in Punjab was a critical event that led to the development of the Dal Khalsa and the Sikh Misls by Nawab Kapur Singh. After establishing his authority in Punjab, Banda Singh Bahadur abolished the zamindari system, and granted property rights to the tillers of the land. He was captured by the Mughals and tortured to death RANI Lakshmibai (portrayed as a sowar) Birth name Manikarnika Born 19 November 1828 Birthplace Varanasi, India Died 18 June 1858 Place of death Gwalior, India Predecessor Rani Rama Bai Successor British Raj Consort to Jhansi Naresh Maharaj Gangadhar Rao Newalkar Issue Damodar Rao, Anand Rao (adopted) Royal House Maratha Empire Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi About this sound pronunciation (help·info) (19 November 1828 – 18 June 1858;[1][2][3] Marathi: झाशीची राणी लक्ष्मीबाई) was the queen of the Maratha-ruled princely state of Jhansi, situated in the north-central part of India.

She was named Manikarnika and was nicknamed Manu.[6] Her father was Moropant Tambe and her mother Bhagirathi Sapre (Bhagirathi Bai). Her parents came from Maharashtra. Her mother died when she was four. Her father worked for a court Peshwa of Bithoor district who brought Manikarnika up like his own daughter.[7] The Peshwa called her Chhabili, which means playful.[citation needed] She was educated at home and was more independent in her childhood than others of her age; her studies included archery, horsemanship, and self-defence.[citation needed][8] Manikarnika was married to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Raja Gangadhar Rao, in 1842,[4] and was afterwards called Lakshmibai (or Laxmibai).[9] She gave birth to a boy named Damodar Rao in 1851, but when he was four months old he died. The Raja adopted a child called Anand Rao, the son of Gangadhar Raos cousin, who was renamed Damodar Rao, on the day before he died. The adoption was in the presence of the British political officer who was given a letter from the raja requesting that the child should be treated with kindness and that the government of Jhansi should be given to his widow for her lifetime. After the death of the raja in November 1853 because Damodar Rao was adopted, the British East India Company, under Governor-General Lord Dalhousie, applied the Doctrine of Lapse, rejecting Damodar Raos claim to the throne and annexing the state to its territories. In March 1854, Lakshmibai was given a pension of Rs. 60,000 and ordered to leave the palace and the fort.[10][11] Rani Lakshmibai was accustomed to ride on horseback accompanied by a small escort between the palace and the temple though sometimes she was carried by palanquin.[12] Her horses included Sarangi, Pavan and Badal; according to tradition she rode Badal when escaping from the fort in 1858. The Rani Mahal, the palace of Rani Lakshmibai, has now been converted into a museum. It houses a collection of archaeological remains of the period between 9th and 12th centuries AD. According to a memoir purporting to be by Damodar Rao he was among his mothers troops and household at the battle of Gwalior; together with others who had survived the battle (some 60 retainers with 60 camels and 22 horses) he fled from the camp of Rao Sahib of Bithur and as the village KUNWAR UDAY SINGH RATHORE (NATIONAL PRESIDENT,,, ALL INDIA RAJPUT YOUTH BRIGADE) JOIN ALL INDIA RAJPUT YOUTH BRIGADE CONT...09216800424 ............09216100224 rajputallindia@gmail rajputallindia2@gmail
