A ghazi like Akbar who killed 30,000 civilians in chittor cant be compared to a great person like Maharana Pratap and I don't remember hearing anything about Akbar going in battles and fighting himself while Rana Pratap used to fight not fearing for his life like how he charged towards man singhs elephant and almost killed him. He also cut Bahlol Khan in half this shows his strength. what can a short little man like Akbar do against him 1v1???

Maharana Pratap Will Win.You Fool John The Questioner.Do You Know The Meaning Of Barbarian.Akbar Was A Barbarian And Uneducated Person.Many Muslims Are Uneducated But Not All.Maharana Pratap Was More Higher Sword Fighter Than Akbar Because Akbar Lost The Sword Fight With Jodha.As Jodha Was A Kshatriya.Maharana Pratap Was A Kshatriya Rajput.Has Akbar Ever Fought A Battle Like Maharana Pratap Where Akbar Army Has 1 Lakh And Mharana Pratap Had Only 1000 Sena.

respecting one of the greatest emperors of all time in history of not only India but the world.today to say that the 6th Mughal emperor Aurangzeb did was good at least whole 1.8 billion Muslims living in world loves him that is why the sharia law(MUSLIM LAW) is well preserved in the holly palace of Islam but AKBAR what he got to do with HINDUS know this only hindus are making fun of him may allah give him heaven at least there are some non rajputs who love him and dont make false story know coming to main reason facts-

1(AKBAR NEVER MATE WITH PRATAP)

2(AKBAR CAME TO HIS HOME PALACE IN CHITTORGRAH AND TOOK THE PALACE AFTER 4 MONTHS OF SEIGE)

3(AKBAR SENT MANY DIPLOMACY LETTERS TO PRATAP AT LAST MAN SING WAS SENT TO PRATAP BUT PRATAP INSULTED HIM BY SAYING THAT JODHA AND AMEER WAS A LOSSER)

4(MAN SINGH WENT TO AKBAR AND SAID THAT HE INSULTED HIM AND ME AND YOUR WIFE AND MOTHER OF YOUR SON AKBAR GOT ANGRY AND SENT MAN SINGH TO A FAMOUS BATTLE OF HALDIGHATI IN WHICH PRATAP WAS ALL MOST BEEN KILLED BY TURKISH SOLDERERS BUT THE BROTHER OF PRATAP SAKTI SING WHO WAS FIGHTING WAR FROM MUGHALS HELPED HIS BROTHER FROM RUNING AWAY FROM BATTLE FEILD HE BROKE THE TRUST OF THE EMPEROR)

NOW AFTER READING THIS SAY ME HOW IS MORE POWER FULL THE EMPEROR OF INDIA OR THE KING OF UDIPUR NOT CHITTORGRAH BECAUSE IT WAS IN AKBAR'S HAND.

What ever i will say that Akbar was the best..he tried to make hindu and muslim friends..and Maharana pratap didnt and Pratap also didnt want to make muslims their friends... so he was the best..Akbar was the most powerful emperor and warrior in the world..some people say that if Mewar fight with Mughal Mewar will win but it isnt Akbar have a very big army..and Pratap cant do anything..

@john you bastard how dare you to say Maharana Pratap a fanatic and barbarian...you fake cristian people...Mughal were intruders...they intruded in Hindustan,and PrithviRaj chauhan kicked their asses...out of 17 wars he defeated mohamad ghuri 16 times and last time ghuri attacked Rajput's army at night because Rajputs have few rules like they will not fight after sunset and before sunrise...so ghuri took advantage of this and Chauhan was caught but finally killed ghuri, Mughal looted India, killed Indian men and raped Indian women and forced millions of Hindu to accept Islam. This is truth of ******* islam...you people are terrorist. If you talk about Maharana Pratap, we all know that he was defeated by Akbar and the reason is Akbar had huge army more than 2 millions and Pratap had few thousands..so he lost and the fact is anyone would have lost against such huge army....Pratap was freedom fighter and was fighting for Indian's pride and right....and if you talk about phisical strength then he was around 7'2'' tall and was equivalent to hundreds of Akbar....

Akbar always tried to take clutch on maharana pratap but he failed. In haldighati fight he send 200000 soldiers to defeat 20000 soldiers. It shows fear of akbar for pratap. Did Akbar ever come directly to fight pratap, no . He was a coward. He always send other rajput soldiers. Yes its true pratap lost haldighati battel but he conquered all his states except chittorah back. Maharana PRATAP was very brave king and can not be compared to a coward king.

My dear i think some blunder done here. Akbar never had the power of killing 100 elephants. Infact akbar never ever fought like Rana Pratap...Rana Pratap used to fight him self and Akbar used to send him senapati etc for most of the wars. Its just an illusion created that he was a superior king, ya he was a superior king in terms of his mighty army and love for hindus. But i know most of the mualims will not agree to my point. Rana pratap has fought most of the wars by himself but akbar always feared his life n used to send senapatis...Rana pratap killed, Behlol Khan, strongest man of arkbar army n man singh too...

Pratap was the pride of Rajputs who never surrendered against he always fought for his people,his kingdom and to keep rajputana independent.H e always took part in the most dangerous battles against man singh and won most of them whereas Akbar never came to fight one on one with pratap.So that's the difference between Akbar and pratap

Apart from all your wishful imaginations ...let me tell you the facts ...it was rana pratap and his family who would always flee from the fears of Akbar the Great..first in the Siege Of Chittor where he was the first to leave the Chittor fort...then in Haldighati also ...he ran just on rumours that Akbar is coming with his army ..had he really saw Akbar he would have done **** in his pants....he never even drew real attention of Akbar...he was not able to lead a normal life he was forced to retreat to jungles

Get your facts right. Calling Maharana Pratap as Hindu Fanatic just goes to show how dumb you are. :)

Akbar never fought any battle by himself. Being "taught" swordsmanship is just funny for a coward like Akbar. And he just like all Mughals was one greedy sob who wanted to just rule and plunder Bharat (India - as your big brain will not understand what is meant by Bharat).

Got it moron?

@ Ismail, I already told you, as is clear from the brother's question, that the brother didn't quote that 'hadeeth' which you quoted "....رجعنا من". What I said is that the meaning the brother gives is sound if understood correctly..and I told you to refer to the works of Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) if you wish to... and since when is there any ikthilaaf on the matter anyway that the struggle against the self is the basis ? Are you claiming that there is an ikhtilaaf on this issue ? Then I proceeded to give examples from the seerah of the sahabah on this issue, so that you don't even need Ibn Taymiyyah's fatawaa if you choose to overlook it... . So, I am asking you, is there any ikhtilaaf in the ummah for 1400yrs that the struggle against the self is the basis ? and if there is no ikhtilaaf, then what does that mean ? If you do not strive against the self, then can you strive against anything else, including shaytaan and so on... ? Like I said, this is wellknown amongst the people of knowledge. Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said striving against the soul is the foundation in ar-rawdah of Ibn Al-Qayyim (rh), didn't he ? 2nd - Ibn Al-Qayyim mentioned in Al-Fawaid under commentary of the ayah, translated: 29:69. As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths (i.e. Allah's Religion - Islamic Monotheism). And verily, Allah is with the Muhsinun (good doers)." that Al-Junaid said "whoever gains victory over his himself will gain victory over his enemies and whoever is defeated within himself will be defeated by his enemies" Also, the brother in the original question said "because what is the use if you are strong from the out side if you are weak from the inside." How is this not a sound understanding ? And did I not give examples from the reports of the seerah of the sahabah ? The struggle of the soul is the severest type of struggle and it is a struggle at night and during the day, in hardship and ease and in relaxation and tension, while secluded and when among people... You cannot fast except if you struggle against the self in some form some time, nor can you pray, nor can you make dhikr, nor can you be good to your relatives and uphold ties of kinship, nor can you spend what god has given you, nor can you make extra acts of worship... This is the basis. There is no striving against shaytaan or hypocrites or others if you cannot strive against your own self. If all this is incorrect, and if there is ANY ikhtilaaf anywhere on this point, then show us where. And Allaah knows best wassalaamu alaykum

akbar was a great ruler he tried to unite hindus and muslims he married many rajputs princess made good relations with hindu kings.

he is termed as a great because he was a gud ruler not like other muslims rulers who forced to opt islam as their religion he changed many laws which was against hindus his administration system was nice thats y he is termed as great.. and yes rana pratap singh has been given title as maharana bacuase of his great deeds his physical strenght his ability to win batle by himself he never bowed his head under the mughals but faught for mewar all his life and reagrding his defeat against mughal thers is no campariosn akbar force was many a times bigger compared to him.. Akbar army was strong and maharana pratap was strong himself

Akbar never lost a battle in his life. Akbar was ruler of whole India,which consisted of thousands of small rulers of small areas, including Kashmir. Akbar was an Emperor and not merely a King. Akbar ruled India under advise of 9 ministers called as Navratnas, Birbal & Tansen were 2 of them. Fighting battles was merely a means to bring the whole country under one rule , otherwise His passion was towards good rule and all round well being of His people irrespective of different religions existing and thus came to be known as Akbar the Great. One need to rise above one's religious beliefs to understand great human lives created by the creator.

All Stupids here are seeing things based on their taste (Hindu loves Hindus & Muslim love Muslims ) but the real fact is that Rana Pratap had loose Haldi ghati battle badly and run away from the place with the help of shakti singh. he was fugitive and runs here & there with fear of getting caught & killed. he was good for nothing all of his battles or can say small fights was fought by Sher Shah sur (warrior) which he declared his commander and had good command on his mens, it is Obvious that people in India never accept the fact which goes against him/her for simple reason called religion, every one is busy showing his religion is superior then other but facts remain facts.

(This is an answer to Anuj Singh's comment.)

Even though many Indians adore Prithviraj Chauhan for his military power and bravery, I can always remember him for his foolishness. Sorry for being offensive if I seemed so, but my real intention was not that.

Believing the axiom "Everything is fair in love and war", I can't find anything wrong with Ghori whom you accuse to have attacked Prithviraj during night time. It is our duty to take all measures to defend. People keeping rules in life are always adorable. Rules must be for the welfare of the humanity or at least for his benefit. Lord Krishna, himself asked Arjuna to break the rules in Kurukshethra war. Remember? Just imagine, what will happen to us - the people of India if our soldiers keep such rules that they don't fight during night time. No doubt that we will be killed by Paki -Soldiers.

pratap was not a fanatic but was a freedom fighter who wanted to defeat the invaders(mughals) and send them out of his homeland(india).pratap is not a barbarian akbar may have been one,he is a rajput they are born warriors.rajputs are trained in sword fighting,horse riding,bows,arrows ,e.t.c it is said that rajputs learn to ride horses before they learn to walk and they live with sword, fight with it and die with it.here is one incident.

i jast want to know that what akbar had done for peoples and why he called as a great personality?

he didn't fight by himself. he just robbed the villages killed innocent people.

if want to maintain peace they why he force a rajput to fight against another rajput. why he himself didn't went to maharana pratap for peace treaty, why he sent others. why he wants that the pratap should surrender to him. because he know he can't defeat him by him self. he didn't had power and leadership quality like rajputs. so he married rajput daughter against their will and force rajputs to join his army. because he knews that a true rajput never goes back on his words and he utilises it to force the rajput to fight against each other. he can't be called like "the great akbar". i didn't see anything to be praisefull for akbar. if he had the most part of rajasthan under his control then whey he wanted mewar.

i am not seeing any thing in it called "pease". the maharana pratap fought for his kingdom which belonged to him, then why akbar wanted to conquer mewar. only because he wanted to bring the country under one flag called it peace. if he wanted peace then what maharana pratap wanted? the pratap fought to protect his kingdom hi people, but akbar fought for lands to conquer them so that he can spread his kingdom.

if pratap wanted to spread his kingdom then he could spread his empire not only in rajasthan but the whole country could comes under mewar flag, even delhi the akbar kingdom.

It is not easy to jugde accurately after 500 years but from various other facts, we can surely come at a conclusion that Maharana Pratap would won the battle if fought individually with Mughal Emperor Akbar.



1. Bravery From Childhood:



Rana Pratap was brave from childhood and had won many wars front to front for Mewar with Afgans and other rajput rebellions.



War with Shams Khan (Chieftain of Suri Dynasty of Delhi) for freedom of Chittod was done by Rana Udai Singh father of Pratap in which Pratap shown extreme valor and defeated Afgans when he was merely 15 years.

Other wars with Bundi, Doongerpur, Ajmer, Marwad also led by Pratap on behalf of Mewad to supress opponents.

He was said to be so much physically strong that he had taken a famous sword of Rana Sanga his grandfather into his one hand when he was a child. This sword was so much weighted that it could not be taken into hands by 4 normal people combinely.



On contrary Akbar as a child was very much aggressive and we find about his runnerup only in history. He could travel Madhura to Agra Fort about 60 kms in few hours which was surprising to his chieftains. Apart from this no other record for battles on alone by akbar as child could found. All his battles were played by him under supervision of 'Bairahm Khan'.



2. Physical Streangth:



If we talk about physical strength height of Maharana is 7.5 feet, total weight of his two swords 50 kgs, weight of his spear is 80 kgs and with other including war wearings totaled about 208 kgs he used to do war whole day; we can imagine his power. He could smach metal coin mere by two fingers. This all details can be seen in Udaipur museum.



No such record for Akbar.



3. Practical Experience of Mahrana's power by Mughals:



In battle of Haldighati, it might be first time for Mughals to experience and see Physical strength. In this battle in 1576, Maharana Pratap sliced the Bahlol Khan major chieftain of Mughal empire into two pieces from head to legs alongwith his horse in one stroke.



According to one view, Bahlol Khan attacked from backside of Mahrana Pratap so it was very powerful stroke by Rana Pratap on his backside. Nevertheless we cannot imagine such strength today also.



No such accounts for Akbar the great.



4. Event that changes Haldighati Result:



In battlefield, Maharana Pratap was searching leader of Mughal force Mansingh of Amer a commander in chief of Mughal Empire. He believes that if Mansingh was killed, battle result will be in favour of Mewad. Mahana Pratap got one opportunity of it when he saw Mansingh infront of him. He led himself alone on Mansingh. After killing all of guards of Mansingh he throw his spear towards Mansingh but that time only Mansing put his rider of elephant ("mahout") infront of him so in this way Mansingh survived. But Rana Pratap had thrown spear in such a powerful manner that it destroyed royal mughal roof of Mansingh and he collapsed down.



Mansingh was enjured and had to go backside for some time and here the time where Mughal soldiers commonly attacked Rana Pratap.



5. Importance in Enemy:



Knowing strength of Mewad and Mahrana Pratap, Akbar, on suggestionof Rahim Khan requested Pratap for alignment with Mughals and for that he offered power of half of Hindusthan at that time. But Pratap being confident on his strength of muscles refuged the same. ( This will surely make anyone in thinking that why one should sacrify his right on such a large kingdom).



6. Spiritual Aspects:.



At some point of time one spiritual leader had told Akbar that to keep away himself from facing Rana Pratap directly since if both would have come front to front for war Akbar was defeated. Akbar was very much scared about his future. This was known to Akbar after Chittod fall. That's why he didn't come in front of Maharana in any of battles afterwards even after haldighati to suppress Pratap he had send 6 military campaigns consisting not less than 2,00,000 soldiers each time. (The strength of military campaigns prove that Akbar did not want to take chance against Pratap's army of not more than 25000 in numbers



15th October, 1577: Bhagwabdas, Mansing alongwith Sayed Hashim, Sayed Kashim, Shahbazz Khan etc

3rd April, 1578: Shabaz Khan alongwith Kazi Khan Badkashi, Mansing, Bhagwandas etc.

October, 1579: Again Shbaz Khan (Third time attacked Mewad)and others

16th June, 1580: Rahim Khankhna (Ajmer) and others

December, 1584: Jagannath Kachwaah and others.

After disappointed from Shabaz Khan for third time, and other chieftains like Mansing, Bhagwandas etc. finally Akbar himself arrived in Mewad to supress Maharana Pratap. But after trying relentessly for 6 months even he could ot supress rana Pratap and finally returned to Agra in Agra.

Maharana Pratap afterwards recovered all his lost territories other than Chittod.



7. True Leader:



Pratap used to lead his military and Akbar camp was at last of battlefield to ran away.

In the battle of Panipat against Hemu, Bairahm Khan led Jalal Akbar away from battlefield at 8 miles towards way to Kabul for escaping in case of defeat.

In the battle of haldighati also Akbar was at Ajmer knowing importance of the battle he did not want to particiapte in battle.
