This blog highlights "10 brave Rajput kings of India," who fought bravely against invading armies. Despite their long history, many of these kings are not known to the Indian population, despite their significant contributions to India's history.

Prithviraj Chauhan

About Prithviraj Chauhan, the king of Ajmer and Delhi, the works of Rajput chivalry have it that the king was the best of all. He stood and offered a gallant fight against the forces of Muhammad Ghori; he was, however, defeated and had his eyes put out. Yet in captivity, he still did not bend his knee.

Rana Sanga

Rana Sanga, the king of Mewar, was not someone that anyone could joke with. He avenged the Mughal Empire, the Sultanate of Gujarat, and the Lodi dynasty, challenging them and overcoming them each time. He had an extraordinary seal, which did not bend before hardship, and determination that never tired of fighting for freedom—all of that made him a Rajput myth.

Maharana Pratap

From what I discovered, Maharana Pratap Singh, son of King Udai Singh, was a patriot who fought against the Mughal kingship for the defence of his kingdom and his people. He didn’t allow himself to be captured no matter the odds; he was a great fighter in the Battle of Haldighati case in point.
Bappa Rawal

The first ruler of Mewar, Bappa Rawal, was an invincible king who fought against the Arabs and founded the kingdom. He constructed the well-known Eklingji Temple, which demonstrated one’s architectural and military ability.

Maharana Udai Singh II

Maharana Udai Singh II, the founder of the city, was a great leader who struggled against the Mughal Empire for his empire. He put up the famous City Palace of Udaipur, and some of the designs reflect his talent in construction as well as in warfare.

Rana Amar Singh II

The Mewar king Rana Amar Singh II was stated as the last of the great brave Rajput kings. He also fought the British East India Company people and did not surrender to the colony even when cornered. The Anglo-Mewar War illustrated his courage to the calcium bent of his spirit.

Maharana Raj Singh I

He is proud to say that the fierce Maharana Raj Singh I of Mewar was a king who fought against the Mughal invasion to defend his territory. He constructed the famous Jag Mandir palace, which is a witness to his excellent architecture and military planning.

Raja Suhaldev

Suhaldev, a regional warrior hero, fought against Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud, resulting in a victory at the Battle of Bahraich. Despite being forgotten, his contribution remains crucial in India's fight against foreign aggression.

Raja Man Singh I

Rajput Raja, known for his excellent generalship under Akbar, was a great warrior and Rajput Raja. He helped the Mughals expand territory while maintaining the Rajput kingdoms' independence and honour, thereby preserving their glory.

Rawal Ratan Singh

Ratan Singh, the last Hindu king of Chittor, whose fall to the Muslim invader Alauddin Khilji is associated most popularly through the fable of Padmavati. Nevertheless, one cannot gloss over his bravery during Khilji’s constant and unrelenting invasion. Instead of surrendering, he decided to die the honourable death on the field of battle.

In a more general sense, these Rajput kings fought with a passion that should never be erased from the memory. For centuries they were strong when defending their territory from invaders who wanted to enslave them, and what did they get in return?

The harsh truth is this: The country has also not appreciated its bravest sons adequately. They also killed and got killed, and in addition to that, they lived by a certain ethic, which the civilised world of today cannot comprehend. It’s time we remember.
