The chiefs of Mewar proclaimed Pratap as the ruler of Mewar ucsb gaucho blue at 1572 A.D.Pratap, for a long period of 25 years, maintained the independence of his country, single minded.

His path was beset with thorns and he had to undergo many obstacles and tribulations.His two brothers had already joined the Mughals and most of the Rajput rajas had fallen in line with the prince of Amber.In the last sack of Chittor, many Rajput warriors had been killed and the fertile plains of Mewar had been devastated or seized.

There was dearth of both men and money and safer courses for Pratap would have been to succumb to the foreign rule and live in peace and plenty.But Pratap disdained this sort of life and preferred that of hardships and hazards.With his a few faithful followers, his war horse Chetak, strong and sturdy Bhills and in later period of his life, his generous minister Bhama Shah, he could turn the viqua-f4 tide in his favour and pushed back a colossal army of the Mughals.

Haldighati, the opening war, was a very critical war for Mewar Rajputs and Pratap himself.But actually his fight was not against Turks or Mughals.It was a war of independence which he waged in the defence of his country.
