Maharana Pratap Biography In English | Great ruler | Marwar Legend | Motivational | By DailyDot-
In 1567, when Crown Prince Pratap Singh was only 27, Chittor was surrounded by the Mughal forces of Emperor Akbar. Maharana Udai Singh II decided to leave Chittor and move his family to Gogunda, rather than capitulate to the Mughals.
In Gogunda, Maharana Udai Singh II and his nobles set up a temporary government of the kingdom of Mewar. In 1572, the Maharana passed away, leaving the way for Crown Prince Pratap Singh to become the Maharana.
Pratap Singh had just become the Maharana of Mewar and he had not been back in Chittoor since 1567. His old fort and his home beckoned to him. The pain of his father's death, and the fact that his father had not been able to see Chittor again troubled the young Maharana deeply. But he was not the only one troubled at this time.
