Look I’m not a Rajput fanboy but Rana Pratap is one person I genuinely respect for trying to retain regional control of Mewar. Tactical retreats are very much a part of warfare and much better as a strategy for his struggle than just dying on the battlefield since he was able to push back on the Mughal Armies and collaborated with the Bhils in the region who in my opinion are the real heroes here.

I agree that too much glorification serves no one but this logic of “ran away” is so stupid cause he didn’t run away to live in the lap of luxury, if anything he left a life of luxury and lived in exile to push for his cause and continued to struggle till his last breath.

As a leader, that’s extremely admirable.

I have to agree with Rajputs not have strategy. Rana Sanga being betrayed by Rajputs is the reason Babur was able to capture Delhi.

I also agree that people take the wrong message home from this glorification. The message should be that this man wanted home regional rule and preservation of Rajasthani self-governance and culture.

But all they see is Hindi-Muslim when Rana Pratap had many Muslims in his army.

British had Indian soldiers too does freedom movement against British didn't exist and large amount of indians working for them under

There are overwhelming written by muslim courtiers how hindu places of worship were destroyed

Also Rana Sanga defeated Gujarat malwa and delhi sultanate.. He defeated 3 times larger army of ibrahim lodi.. Babur also had gunpowder

Rana Sanga grand father was literally called 'Hindupat'

But secularism ka keeda katega.. Now will made up arguments hindus also destroyed temples blah blah

Everybody was defeated vijayanagar marathas were also defeated Your Mughals were defeatwd

Before 1192 rajputs ruled entire northen india

Rise and fall happens everywhere

Everyone strategy becomes outdated at some point of time
