The Mughal Army of Babur sacked Chanderi, capital of Medini Rai.
Medini Rai (died 1528) was a Rajput leader of eastern-Malwa.[1] He ruled much of the Malwa under the lordship of Rana Sanga, who helped him in defeating Sultan of Malwa and conquering Malwa, Chanderi was his capital.[2]
He joined the united Rajput Confederacy in the fateful Battle of Khanwa with a garrison of 20,000 Rajput soldiers and headed the left wing of Rajputs to counter Babur's right wing.[3] The conquest of Malwa shocked the court of Delhi as they were not expecting the Rajputs to invade Malwa.[4] This led to several skirmishes and battles between the Lodi Empire and the Kingdom of Mewar. Medini Rai actively helped Rana Sanga in these battles and helped him score a series of victories. Rana Sanga's influence after the war extended to Pilia Khar, a river on the outskirts of Agra.[1][5][6] He assisted Rana Sanga in many campaigns against the Sultans of India. Medini Rai was later killed in the Battle of Chanderi against the Mughal emperor Babur, where he was given a chance to surrender but chose to fight and remain loyal to the Rana.
