Among all Rajput dynasties, the Sisodia dynasty of Mewar remained the strongest resister against Akbar. While Kachwahas, Rathores and other Rajput rulers accepted Akbar’s diplomacy and joined his administration, Mewar refused to submit. Maharana Pratap, the Sisodia ruler, rejected Akbar’s offers of alliance as a matter of honour and independence. The famous Battle of Haldighati in 1576 highlighted Mewar’s unwavering courage, even though the battle ended inconclusively. Maharana Pratap continued guerrilla warfare, recovering lost territories later in life. His refusal to surrender made the Sisodias the only major Rajput dynasty to resist Akbar consistently.
