This indefatigable fighter carried eight battle-scars on his body and had lost one arm and one eye. He fought a decisive battle against Babar in March 1527 at Khanwa and might have won it, but he was unfortunately betrayed by his trusted commander, Shiladitya. Sanga was obliged to retreat and did, but he made a solemn vow never to re-enter Mewar, until he had avenged his humiliation. Had his life been spared, he would have redeemed the pledge; but, he did not live to fulfil it. His tenacity of purpose, however, inspired many of his successors including Rana Pratap.
In the following pages is narrated the story of the valour of this ir('n man of India, based on Tod' s "Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan".
