Explanation:

Pratap ascended the throne of Mewar as its 54th ruler on

February 28th, 1572. It was the beginning of a career of struggle and hardship. Maharana Pratap

never accepted Akbar as ruler of India, and fought Akbar all his life. Akbar first tried diplomacy

to win over Maharana Pratap but was unsuccessful. Pratap maintained that he had no intention to

fight with Akbar but he could not bow down to Akbar and accept him as his suzerainty.3

Chittorgarh Pratap‟s ancestral home was under Mughal occupation. Living a life on the run, the

dream of re-conquering Chittor (and thus reclaiming the glory of Mewar) was greatly cherished

by Pratap, and his future efforts were bent towards this goal. In essence Pratap remained king

only on paper as he never ruled any land in his lifetime.

Nearly all of Pratap‟s fellow Rajput chiefs had mean while entered into the vassalage of the

Mughals. Even Pratap‟s own brothers, Shakti Singh and Sagar Singh, served Akbar. Indeed,

many Rajput chiefs, such as Raja Man Singh of Amber (later known as Maharaja of Jaipur) were

serving as army commanders in Akbar‟s armies and members of his council. Akbar sent a total

of six diplomatic missions to Pratap, seeking to negotiate the same sort of peaceful alliance that

he had concluded with the other Rajput chiefs. Pratap roundly rebuffed every such attempt

displaying his self-respect and honour.

For the new capital Udaipur, Maharana Udai Singh constructed a water reservoir Udai Sagar

in 1565. It was on its dam that in June 1573 Kunwar (Prince) Man Singh of Amber, as the

emissary of Mughal Emperor Akbar, arrogantly demanded that Maharana Pratap should give up

protocol and be present at the feast in his honour.
