'''The Mewar-Delhi Sultanate conflicts''' were a series of battles that happened from the mid 13th to early 16th century. With the defeat of Chauhan ruler [[Prithviraj Chauhan]] in the [[Second Battle of Tarain]] in 1192 CE, [[Delhi Sultanate]], a successor to [[Ghurid dynasty]], was established in the northern part of India. After conquering much of [[Indo-Gangetic Plain]] the [[List of sultans of Delhi|Sultans of Delhi]] now had turned their attention towards [[Northwestern India|North-Western India]]. They subdued [[Jalore]], [[Ajmer]] and [[Ranthambore Fort|Ranthambore]] and followed up by invading [[Kingdom of Mewar|Mewar]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Srivastav Ashoka .k |url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.66317 |title=Khalji Sultans In Rajasthan |date=1981}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra Nath |url=https://archive.org/details/ancientindianhistoryandcivilization |title=Ancient Indian History and Civilization. |date=1999 |publisher=New Age Publishers. |year=1999 |isbn=81-224-1198-3 |pages=pg-336}}</ref> |

The '''Mewar-Delhi Sultanate Wars''' were a series of wars between [[Kingdom of Mewar]] and the Islamic [[Delhi Sultanate]] from 13th century to early 16th century. These wars left a profound impact on [[Rajputana|Rajputana's]] history and played an important role in preservation of [[Hinduism|Hindu culture]] in modern day [[Rajasthan]], [[Gujarat]] and [[Madhya Pradesh]]. The [[Kingdom of Mewar]] stood up as one of the major Hindu powers in [[Medieval India]] after [[Delhi]] fell to the Islamic invaders. |

The Guhila kings then ruled as [[Gurjara-Pratihara|Imperial Pratihara's]] feudatories between end of 8th and 9th centuries and later were independent in period of the early 10th century and allied themselves with the [[Rashtrakuta dynasty|Rashtrakutas]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Somānī |first=Rāmavallabha |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NcIBAAAAMAAJ |title=History of Mewar, from Earliest Times to 1751 A.D. |date=1976 |publisher=Mateshwari Publications |page=51 |language=en}}</ref> |

The Mewar-Delhi Sultanate conflicts were a series of battles that happened from the mid 13th to early 16th century. With the defeat of Chauhan ruler Prithviraj Chauhan in the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192 CE, Delhi Sultanate, a successor to Ghurid dynasty, was established in the northern part of India. After conquering much of Indo-Gangetic Plain the Sultans of Delhi now had turned their attention towards North-Western India. They subdued Jalore, Ajmer and Ranthambore and followed up by invading Mewar.[2][3]
The Rawals under Rawal Tej Singh and Samar Singh were initially able to repulse these invasions.[4] However, they faced a major setback when their capital Chittorgarh was captured by Sultan Alauddin Khalji in 1303.[5]
Hammir Singh, who was one of the descendants of the junior branch of the Guhila dynasty, recovered whole of Mewar including Chittorgarh and further defeated the invading army of the Delhi Sulatante in Singoli. This victory made whole of Rajputana practically independent of the Sultanate's rule.[6] Maharana Hammir's successors Maharana Kshetra and Maharana Lakha were able to gain territories of Badnore and Bakrole from Delhi Sultanate[7]. Mewar's golden age started under the reign of Maharana Kumbha and reached its zenith under Maharana Sanga.[8] [9] Rana Sanga, with his superior tactics, repeatedly humbled Ibrahim Lodi, the Sultan of Delhi, prevailing over him decisively at Khatoli, Dholpur and Ranthambhore. These victories not only secured Mewar’s triumph but also expanded its boundaries up to Bayana.[10][11][12] At the height of his power, Rana Sanga held control over extensive regions encompassing much of present day Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh with his capital at Chittor.[13] These events not only made Mewar one of the greatest powers in Northern India in the early 16th century but also contributed to the downfall and weakening of the Delhi Sultanate.[14] The Sultanate ultimately collapsed after its last Sultan Ibrahim was defeated by Timurid ruler Babur with the help of Rana Sanga and other rebellious Afghani chiefs.[15]
Background
The Guhila dynasty, a Rajput dynasty, governed the Mewar region of present-day Rajasthan, founded by Bappa Rawal in the 8th century.[16] However some historians discard Bappa Rawal as founder of the dynasty.[17] Bappa Rawal is famous for repelling the Arab invasion of India and this led to a belief of him being the founder of this dynasty.[18]
Guhila dynasty गुहिल राजवंश | |
---|---|
The Guhila kings then ruled as Imperial Pratihara's feudatories between end of 8th and 9th centuries and later were independent in period of the early 10th century and allied themselves with the Rashtrakutas.[20]
In the later half of 10th century, the Guhilas encountered numerous defeats from neighboring kingdoms like the Chahamanas of Shakambhari, the Chalukyas of Gujarat, and the Paramaras of Malwa. At one point, the Paramara king Munja II even occupied the Chittorgarh fort, but the Guhilots refused to surrender and instead gathered their strength gradually.[21]
Seizing the opportunity presented by the Ghurid invasions weakening the Chauhans, Chalukyas, and Paramaras in neighboring kingdoms, Jaitra Singh attempted to leverage this situation to consolidate Guhila power over the region.[21] It was during his reign, that the Delhi Sultan Iltutmish raided Mewar for the first time thus giving rise to a conflict that went over a span of about three centuries.

The conflict ultimately ended after the defeat and death of the Sultanate's last sultan Ibrahim. After this conflict, Kingdom of Mewar under Rana Sanga had emerged as the most powerful native power in Northern India.[49] Sanga earlier thought that Babur wouldn't stay in Delhi for long but his assumption turned out to be wrong. This brought him in conflict with the Timurids.[50] Babur too realizing the potential threat started preparing for the war. Both powers then engaged in multiple battles, the well known of which were Bayana and Khanwa.
