History
Battle of Haldighati ka main reason Mughal Empire aur Mewar ke beech political control aur independence ka conflict tha. Akbar chahta tha ki Mewar bhi Mughal authority ko accept kare, lekin Maharana Pratap ne Mughal supremacy accept karne se mana kar diya aur Mewar ki independence ke liye struggle jaari rakha.
* 18 June 1576 ko Maharana Pratap ki army aur Mughal forces led by Raja Man Singh of Amber ke beech Haldighati mein battle hui. * Maharana Pratap ne apni army ke saath bahut courage se Mughal forces ka saamna kiya. Unki army mein Rajput warriors ke saath Hakim Khan Sur jaise Afghan warriors bhi shamil the. * Battle ke dauran Maharana Pratap apne famous horse Chetak par sawar the. Chetak ne Maharana Pratap ko battlefield se safely nikalne mein important role play kiya. * Battle ka immediate result Mughal forces ke favour mein raha, lekin Maharana Pratap capture nahi hue aur unhone Mewar ke resistance ko continue rakha.
* Battle ke baad Mewar ka poora resistance khatam nahi hua. Maharana Pratap ne Aravalli hills se guerrilla warfare continue kiya aur gradually Mewar ke kai areas ko recover kiya. * Isliye Haldighati ko sirf ek military battle nahi, balki Maharana Pratap ke resistance aur independence ke struggle ka symbol bhi maana jata hai.
Chetak, Maharana Pratap ka famous horse, Haldighati ki battle se associated sabse famous historical figures/symbols mein se ek hai. Traditional accounts ke according, wounded hone ke baad bhi Chetak ne Maharana Pratap ko battlefield se bahar pahunchaya.
