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[edit]

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 Guhilas and neighbouring South Asian polities circa 1250 CE.[19]

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 sources are contradicting, as some suggest that Guhila king's feudatory Bhuvanasimha repelled the raid[26] while others suggest that Samarasimha protected his country possibly by paying a tribute.[29]
Siege of Chittorgarh (1303) Ratnasimha Alauddin Khalji Khalji Victory[25][31]
  • The Siege of Chittorgarh occurred in 1303, when Alauddin Khalji captured and sacked the Chittor Fort, toppling the Guhila king Ratnasimha, after an eight-month-long siege.

Battle of Singoli (1336) Maharana Hammir Muhammad bin Tughluq Mewar Victory[34]
  • After Hammir regained whole of Mewar, Jaiza fled in panic to the Delhi court of Muhammad bin Tughluq, prompting Tughluq to order the Sultanate's army to march towards Mewar.
  • According to Rajput chronicles, in the ensuing battle, the Tughlaq army was defeated and Muhammad bin Tughlaq was taken prisoner.[38] However historians such as Majumdar and Hooja have rejected the idea of imprisonment of Sultan himself.

  • In the battle, which was fought near Dholpur, the Mewar army made a successful charge, and defeated the opposing armies despite being numerically inferior.
  • The boundaries of Rana Sanga's military influence came to extend within striking distance of Agra. Chanderi bestowed to Medini Rai.[14]
Battle of Ranthambhore Maharana Sanga Ibrahim Khan Lodi Mewar Victory[46]
  • According to a 16th-century text "Parshvanath-Shravan-Sattavisi", Rana Sanga further defeated Ibrahim Lodi at Ranthambore after the Siege of Mandsaur.
First Battle of Panipat (1526) Maharana Sanga Ibrahim Khan Lodi Mughal Victory[47]
  • This major battle was fought between the Afghans under Ibrahim Lodi and Timurids under Babur aided by Rana Sanga of Mewar[48] and some of the Afghan rebels of the Lodi empire.
  • Ibrahim Lodi died on the field of battle along with 20,000 of his troops. The battle of Panipat thus resulted in the fall of the Delhi Sultanate.

Aftermath[edit]

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.

Maldeva's greatest enemy was Hammir, Rānã of Sesoda, whose grandfather Lakshman Singh had died with his seven sons including Arsi Singh, father of Hamrair, fighting in the battle of Chittor. Hammīr who had survived the memorable battle, Hammir became the Rana of Sesoda estate and constantly waged war to obtain Chittor Maldeva tried to conciliate him.

At last his efforts were crowned with success and after the death of Maldeva in about 1321 A.D. Hammir became master of the whole of Mewar, and assumed the title of Mahãrānā. In an inscription of Mahārānā Kumbhā's time,dated 1438 A.D.;Hammīr is said to have killed a large number of Musalmans. Hammir's descendants have ruled Mewar to the present day

However, even if Amber was conquered by Turkish domination, which seems likely, it is certain that they soon regained freedom by taking advantage of the growing weakness of the Sultanate after 1335 A.D by Raja Junsi (Jawan Singh) in joining Rana Hammir of Mewar against Delhi Sultanate forces.
