Today Let’s Talk about The battle of Dewair – After the Battle of Haldighati, Pratap lost half of his army out of 15,000 soldiers and the Mughals captured Kumbhalgarh, Gogunda, Udaipur and Chappan. Under such conditions, Pratap changed his strategy from open to guerilla warfare and did not allow the Mughals to settle and regain his lost territories. To subdue Pratap, Akbar himself arrived in Mewar in September 1576 for hunting expeditions in forests where he occupied Udaipur and it’s southern region called ‘Wagad’ and established Mughal rule in these regions. Pratap along with his family took shelter in dense hills that time and manage to hide until May 1577 when Akbar returned to Fatehpur Sikri.
