Battle
changeThe Battle of Dewair[6] was a conflict that began on the day of Vijayadashami (Dussehra) in 1582. With the help given by Bhamshah Maharana Pratap was able to arrange a strong army of 3,000 cavalrymen.[7]Maharana was confident with his strategy of taking on the Mughals and regain lost territory. He divided his army into two groups; one unit was led by himself, while the other was led by his son, Amar Singh. In the war, the Mughal army was led by Akbar’s uncle, Sultan Khan.[8] Maharana and his army attacked the Mughal outpost in the village of Dewair, which was situated approximately 40 km northeast of Kumbhalgarh.[9][10][11] The attack led by the rana's army made the mughal soldiers panicked and scattered which forced many mughal troops to fled. During the battle, Sultan Khan tried to advance attack the Rana's army but [12]Rana Amar Singh killed Sultan khan along with his horse by just a powerful blow of his spear. Shahbaz khan who was fighting on an elephant inflicted a wound on Pratap by a shower of arrows, pratap retaliated the mughal center and killed a senior mughal commander "Bahlol khan"[13] due to which the war was ended in the downfall of mughals and the victory of Pratap thus 36,000 survived mughal troops surrendered to Pratap[14]
