The major distortion of history is done here.

Baz Bahadur of Malwa

  • Udai Singh II gave shelter to Baz Bahadur from Akbar before Chittor war. Baz Bahadur's beautiful Queen, Rani Roopmati poisoned herself as one of Akbar's General Adham Khan wanted to capture her for himself. This has been totally ignored.

Rathore of Marwar

  • In 1561, the kingdom of Marwar was invaded by the Mughal Emperour Akbar. Rao Maldev forcibly submitted towards Akbar and sent his two older sons to Akbar's court as Vassals.
  • In 1562, Rao Maldev passed away. His third son Chandrasen revolted against his elder brothers as they have become vassals of Akbar and he crowned himself an independent king of Marwar. He helped his niece Phool Kanwar to marry Pratap.
  • By 1565, Chandrasen had lost all his territories to Akbar and had retreated to hills like Pratap did later. Chandrasen died in 1582. His whole life he was a friend and a supporter of Pratap and most likely married one of Pratap's sister...maybe Chand.

Sisodiya of Chittor

  • In 1568, Chittor was lost to Akbar.

Tomar of Gwalior

  • Shalivahan Tomar, Prince of Gwalior, husband of Maan Kanwar, sister of Pratap took part in the Chittor battles, although he didn't participate in Saka. He was sent by nobels with Pratap to safety. Howcome he was not shown fighting along with Pratap in the struggles before Saka?
  • He along with his father and brothers were slained in the battle of Haldhighati. The whole Tomar Clan of Gwalior gave their life for Pratap and Rajputana. CV's has already introduced these characters and Maan Kanwar got married to Shalivahan. It is time they show more of them and their friendship with Pratap.

Chandelas of Gondwana

  • Rani Durgavati died defending Gondwana in 1564, four years before the siege of Chittor. And here they are showing that after Chittor is taken, Durgavati is tying Rakhi to Pratap. Kamlavati, Durgavati's younger sister was taken forcibly into Akbar's harem.
Therefore Rajput Royalty who fought against Akbar and supported Pratap in Haldhighati are:

Sisodiyas - Maharana Pratap Singh & Kunwar Shakti Singh
Tomars - Raja Shalivahan Tomar
Rathod - Rao Chandrasen Rathod
