Although Maharana Pratap fought many battles with the Mughals, the most historic battle was - the Battle of Haldighati in which he faced a huge army of Akbar led by Mansingh. In this tremendous war in 1576, Maharana Pratap faced 80 thousand Mughal soldiers with about 20 thousand soldiers. This is the most discussed war in medieval Indian history. In this war, Pratap's horse Chetak was injured. After this war, Mewar, Chittor, Gogunda, Kumbhalgarh and Udaipur were captured by the Mughals. Most of the Rajput kings fell under the Mughals but the Maharana never left Swabhimaan. He did not accept the subjection of the Mughal emperor Akbar and struggled for many years.
In the war of Diwar in 1582, Rana Pratap regained the territories which had once been lost to the Mughals. Colonel James Taw called this war with the Mughals a marathon of Mewar. By 1585, after a long struggle, he was successful in liberating Mewar.
When Maharana Pratap ascended the throne, at that time, as much as the Mewar land was his right, the land as a whole was now under his control.
In 1596, he was hurt while playing hunting, which he never recovered from. He died in Chavad on 19 January 1597 at just 57 years of age.
