I read somewhere that Pratap was greatly disappointed with his father's decision and even he had told him that if he wants to go, he can bt.. he will stay back and lead the army of Chittor.. bt US commanded him not to do so as his life meant everything for the future of Mewad..of course, for Pratap it would hv been really hard to leave Chittor bt at that time US was alive and he was the king of Chittor.. and no one can disobey his king's order..
Well guys your Question and Answer to it is right..I to read that this is what happened in books.đBut as per my knowledge one more imp point that US did not let Maharana Pratap to stay back and fight is because Pratap was one of Mewar's Powerful Army chief.Even when US is king his ministers nd Army personals see Maharana Pratap as their future king.So the nobles wanted their future king to be safe. Reason for this is at that time when Chittor was attacked. Akbar had a huge army and the walls of chittor were old nd weak. So fighting their will be a loss of military might of Mewar's Army. US as per the advice of his Chief Ministers decided to fight another day. I got this info from a Historian.âď¸
