Battle of Haldighati - Short Note for exams

Haldighati is a mountain pass in the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan in western India. This pass connects Rajsamand and Pali districts. The pass is situated at a distance of 40 kilometers from Udaipur. The name 'Haldighati' originated from the turmeric-colored yellow soil of the area.
• On 21 June 1576, the armies of Maharana Pratap and Akbar met at Haldighati, near the town of Gogunda in Rajasthan. The battle was called The Battle of Haldighati.
• Pratap's army was defeated, but Pratap organized another attack, known as the Battle of Dewar, in which the Mewar army was winning.
• The site of the battle was a narrow mountain pass at Haldighati near Gogunda in Rajasthan
• Maharana Pratap made a force of around 3,000 cavalries and 400 Bhil archers. The Mughals were led by Raja Man Singh of Amber, who controlled an army numbering around 5,000–10,000 men.
• The casualties for Mewar numbered around 1,600 men.
 The Mughal army lost 150 men, with another 350 wounded.
• The Mughals were the victors and caused significant loss among the Mewaris but failed to imprison Pratap, who escaped.
• Haldighati is considered or misinterpreted as a battle for Rajput or even Hindu honor against the Muslim Mughals. However, considering that both sides featured the Hindu Rajputs, and the Mewar army was also served by Hakim Khan Sur's Muslim Afghans, any opinion concerning religious conflict have little reliability.
The historical importance of the battle of haldhighat is that it showed the bravery of Rajputs and the small tribe Bhils. It was a turning point for Mughals also. It also manifests the courage and true spirit of Rajputs to save the motherland.
