Hakim Khan Suri

much needed info! thnx for sharing ^_^

tfs need to brush up history ...

Some more info:

Hakim Khan Suri was an Afghan warrior and chief of artillery in Rana Pratap's army. He fought valorously with him in the Battle of Haldighati and died in 1576

Hakim Khan Suri was a member of the Sur dynasty and was a descendant of Sher Shah Suri, the founder of the Sur Empire.

Hakim Khan was a seasoned Sur, who had his own ax; to grind against the imperial motives of the Mughals. He found in Pratap an energetic, chivalrous and boldest veteran hero to whom also the Mughal imperialism was a nuisance. During the reign of Maharana Udai Singh, Karbala warrior's descendents, Hakim Khan Suri came to Mewar. He was later on declared to be a commander (senapati) of Maharana Pratap's army and fought bravely in the Battle of Haldighati.

The Battle of Haldighati is widely but wrongly perceived as a Hindu-Muslim conflict, but this is not the case. Both armies had a mix of Hindus and Muslims. This battle was just a struggle between the Mughal imperialism and Mewar. Whereas Hakim Khan Suri led the vanguard for Rana Pratap, Akbar's army was commanded by the Rajput chief of Jaipur, Man Singh. Hakim Khan was part of the battle to extract revenge from the Mughals for the defeat of Sher Shah Suri, his forefather.

He is a matchless example of extraordinary valour, bravery, sacrifice, honesty, faith and duty. He was the treasurer of Rana Pratap.

Hakim Khan Suri occupies a high place in the annals of Mewar and an award of the Maharana Mewar Foundation bears his name.

Every year a commemorative festival is held at Haldighati where his memorial is located.

Thnk u moumi and mystic786 for sharing this valuable info 😊

TFS

Tfs... this history increase my interest in this track in which i m least interested before... hope they come to real history of praja also if theyare coming back to history

I beg to differ, the Mughal - Mewar war did have religious color. Hakim khan sur already had some scores to settle with Mughals , so he joined hands with Mewar. Even Shivaji had Pathan muslims in his army. Mughal expansion was not just about imperialism but they prided themselves in being Ghazis and conquerors of Hindu infidels.This is well documented in their royal biographies whether so called secular Akbar or overtly communal Aurangzeb.

TFS info. so he also plays important role in MP struggling days.
