The Battle of Mangrol was a battle fought in Mangrol between the Kingdom of Jaipur and the Maratha Empire, with the latter being supported by the Kingdom of Kota. This battle was also nearly a year after the Maratha's loss in the Third Battle of Panipat.
Battle[edit]
The battle was a military conflict between Madho Singh and Malharrao Holkar.[1]
Madho Singh attacked Malharrao Holkar with his 10,000 troops. Both troops clashed at Maungrol and a fierce battle took place, but the Rajputs were ultimately defeated by the opposing 6000 troops (3000 man from Indore and 3000 provided by Zalim Singh).[1][2][3]
As mentioned by Jadunath Sarkar, the Rajput army fought bravely but as the Maratha army began to defeat them, more than 400 rajput man fled from the battle.[2]
The further dispute was sought by Madho Singh by paying tribute to Marathas,[1][2] thus Jaipur becoming a tributary to them until 1770.[2][3]
Aftermath[edit]
After a 2-day battle, the Jaipur army was completely destroyed. However Malhar Rao was not able to plunder Dhundhar, as he was recalled to Bundelkhand because of rebellions and threats of invasion by Shuja-Ud-Daula of Awadh.[3]
