Maharana Pratap was born in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan. His father was Maharana Uday Singh
and his mother was Rani Jeevant Kanwar. Maharana Pratap's kind heartedness and just decision making won the hearts of even his enemies. He is the only ruler of India that did not give in to the Mughal rule and for that he is the most celebrated ruler of the country to this day.
After the famous battle of Haldighati, Maharana Pratap’s own brother, Shakti Singh, who had joined the Mughals helped him escape the battlefield, as his beloved and trusted horse Chetak was wounded in his hind leg during fight. Chetak, Maharana Pratap’s trusted horse, delivered him to safe grounds before breathing his last.
Pratap had to take refuge in the Aravalli hills. The Bhil tribals of the Aravallis supported Maharana
during times of war, and helped him in living off the forests during times of peace. In exile, Pratap spent considerable time perfecting war tactics like guerilla warfare, harassing the enemy and light horse tactics which helped him win back Mewar.
Maharana Pratap died at the age of 57, after sustaining a injury while hunting.
