Rani Karnavati and Emperor Humayun

history of Rakhi

 is of Rani Karnavati and Emperor Humayun. Karnavati was the official of Mewar after the death of her husband Rana Sanga. She ruled in the name of her elder son Vikramjeet. Bahadur Shah of Gujarat attacked Mewar for the second time. He had defeated Vikramjeet earlier. The Queen began looking for support from other kingdoms. Initially apprehensive, the nobles finally agreed to take on Shah. In the meanwhile, Karnavati also wrote to Humayun for help. She sent him a rakhi and sought protection. Fascinatingly, Humayun's father Babur had defeated Rana Sanga when he led an amalgamation of Rajput armies against him in 1527.The Mughal emperor was in the middle of another military campaign when he received the call for help. Abandoning it, he turned his attention to Mewar.


Unfortunately, he never made it on time as the Rajput army was defeated in Chittoor. But the queen had already set herself on fire to avoid the indignity of falling in the hands of Bahadur Shah. Shah, however, could not go any further and had to turn away from Chittoor as Mughal military reinforcements arrived soon after. Humayun then restored the kingdom to Karnavati's son, Vikramjit.
