Among the galaxy of Rajput sovereigns Maharana Kumbha occupies a pre-eminent position. His natural abilities and achievements place him in the forefront of the great rulers not only of Mewar, but of the whole of India. The material for this Chitra Katha has been drawn from the famous book on the life of Kumbha by Harbilas Sarda.
Kumbha never lost a battle even when confronted with the toughest of adversaries. He built a number of formidable fortresses all over Rajastan which proved to be of great strategic importance to later rulers of Mewar. The Tower of Victory he built in Chittor is one of the landmarks of Rajastan.
Early in the 16th century, when a vast area of India was under the domination of foreign rulers, he made a valiant attempt to defeat them. He fought a decisive battle against Babar in March 1527 at Khanwa and might have won it, but he was unfortunately betrayed by his trusted commander, Shiladitya. Sanga was obliged to retreat and did, but he made a solemn vow never to re-enter Mewar, until he had avenged his humiliation. Had his life been spared, he would have redeemed that pledge; but he did not live to fulfill it. His tenacity of purpose, however, inspired many of his successors including Rana Pratap.
During this period when almost everyone in Northern India had bowed down before Akbar, only the lone, unbending figure of Rana Pratap stood against him. He refused to accept Akbar?s supremacy. Had he agreed to surrender, Rana Pratap could have led an easy and comfortable life at the court of Akbar. But for this brave Rajput warrior king, his freedom was his honor, which he cherished even more than his own life. Greatly outnumbered by Akbar?s huge forces, the Rana lived a hunted life in the jungles and suffered grave hardships. But these sufferings only spurred him on in his struggle for freedom.
