Maharana Pratap vs Mohan Singh

Maharana Pratap refused to accept Mughal suzerainty under Emperor Akbar, unlike other Rajput rulers. He rejected diplomatic overtures and military pressure. This defiance made him a symbol of Rajput independence and resistance.

Maharana Pratap led Rajput forces against the Mughal army under Man Singh of Amber at Haldighati. The battle was indecisive, with both sides claiming victory. Pratap retreated to the hills and continued guerrilla resistance against the Mughals.

Maharana Pratap recaptured the Chittorgarh Fort from the Mughals after a prolonged guerrilla campaign. The fort had been lost to Akbar in 1568. Pratap's forces held the fort temporarily, but it was later abandoned due to Mughal pressure.

Maharana Pratap established his new capital at Chavand in the Aravalli hills after losing Chittorgarh. The capital served as a base for his resistance against the Mughals. It remained the capital of Mewar until his death.

Mohan Singh founded the Indian National Army (INA) in Singapore with captured Indian soldiers from the British Indian Army. He aimed to fight alongside Japan for Indian independence, but later fell out with Japanese leadership.

Mohan Singh dissolved the first Indian National Army after disagreements with the Japanese over its command and objectives. He was arrested by the Japanese, and the INA was later revived by Subhas Chandra Bose.

Mohan Singh was imprisoned by the British after World War II for his role in the INA. He was tried and sentenced, but later released after Indian independence, becoming a symbol of resistance.
