He further added that that the organisation has not received any official communication from the Rajasthan government yet, and it is difficult to comment on the matter. However, an ASI official from Delhi, who wished to remain unnamed, said that the any material written on any historical monument is researched and reviewed by eminent historians and authorities before being used. Sharma based his findingsВ on land records from the 16th century and said that for a year after the 18 June battle in 1576, Maharana Pratap distributed land in villages near Haldighati by handing out land rights inscribed on copper plates that has the signature of the Diwan of Eklingnath.Д«ack then, he claimed, only the king of a province was allowed to distribute tracts of land, which proves that Maharana Pratap was the winner of the Battle of Haldighati.

However, Chandra Shekhar Sharma, an associate professor at Meera Girls College in Udaipur noted, вЂњIn the light of recent research and evidence, historians have come to the conclusion that PratapвЂ™s army never retreated from the Battle of Haldighati. The Mughals claimed victory because they still held the field,вЂќ she said. вЂњMewar claimed they had won because there had been no surrender. Today, 445 years after the battle, there is an enduring debate about who actually won the battle.ДЄccording to Hooja, both sides claimed victory at the end of the battle. The two armies fought a four-hour-long war in which the Mughals suffered heavy casualties and Maharana escaped unhurt.ДЄlso read: When Birbal died, something broke inside Akbar No negotiations worked and Akbar finally decided to begin the war.ДЄccording to historian Rima Hooja, author of the book вЂMaharana Pratap: The Invincible WarriorвЂ™, the estimates of the size of each army differed widely but what is certain is that the Mughals far outnumbered the Mewar forces.

Udai Singh continued to stay in the forests of Aravalli till his death four years later.ДЄfter Udai SinghвЂ™s death, his son Maharana Pratap tookВ charge of Mewar.

Udai Singh was forced to quit and the responsibilityВ of defence was given to King Jaimal of Merta, who was killed during the battle. The Rajputs were surrounded and besieged by the Mughals. To demonstrate his authority, Akbar laid siege to Chittorgarh in October 1567. In Rajasthan, almost all major kings had acceptedВ theВ Mughal dynasty except Udai Singh, the father of Maharana Pratap. Haldighati is a region in the Aravalli mountain range, which links Rajsamand and Pali districts in Rajasthan, the name for which is inspired by its yellow-turmeric coloured soil.ДЄkbar was planning to stabilise his kingdom by gaining control over Rajput regions, which would have also secured lines of communication with Gujarat. The Battle of Haldighati was fought on 18 June 1576 between the armies of Maharana Pratap, the Rana of Mewar, and the Mughal emperor AkbarвЂ™s forces, led by Man Singh I of Amber.
