The young Pratap Singh wanted to stay back and fight the Mughals but the elders intervened and convinced him to leave chittor, oblivious of the fact that this move from chittor was going to create history for all times to come. Maharana Pratap was born on May 9th 1540 in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan. His father was Maharana Udai Singh II and his mother was with his capital at Chittor.
