Rana Sangram Singh I (c. 12 April 1482 – 30 Jan 1528), popularly known as Rana Sanga was the Maharana of Mewar from 1508 to 1528 CE. Belonging to the Sisodia Rajput dynasty, through his capable leadership, he transformed the Kingdom of Mewar into the most powerful state in northern India in the early 16th century.[2] He controlled parts of present-day Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh with his capital at Chittor.[3] His reign was admired by several of his contemporaries, including the first Mughal Emperor Babur, who described him as the "greatest Indian ruler" of that time. The Mughal historian Abd al-Qadir Badayuni called Sanga the bravest of all Rajputs.[4][better source needed].
In his long military career, Sanga achieved a series of unbroken successes against several neighbouring sultanates, most notably in the Mewar-Delhi Sultanate wars and Mewar- Malwa Conflict. He united several Rajput clans for the first time since the Second Battle of Tarain and marched against the invading Babur, who founded the Mughal Empire.
Despite initial success, Sanga suffered a major defeat at the Battle of Khanwa through Babur's use of gunpowder weaponry, which was unknown in northern India at the time. His defeat at Khanwa is seen as a landmark event in the Mughal conquest of northern India. In contemporary texts, he is described as the Hindu Emperor (Hindupati) of northern India.[5]
