Siege of Chittorgarh
Siege of Chittor, Siege of Chittorgarh. In October 1567, the Mughal forces of approximately 5,000 men led by Akbar surrounded and besieged 8,000 Hindu Rajputs in Chittorgarh Fort and within a few months Akbar's ranks expanded to over 70,000 men and possibly more than 80,000 troops during the late phases of the siege, which ended in a decisive victory of the Mughals.
==Background==
The Rajput began to emerge as a dominant power after the defeat of the Lodi dynasty. The Rajputs were opposed to the rise of the Mughal Empire and they often supported Akbar's fellow Muslim rivals including Baz Bahadur causing much tension in the region. Akbar set out on a series of campaigns against the Rajputs. Akbar was worried of Mewar Prince Pratap who was a powerful and highly capable Rajput. Akbar feared losing against the Rajputs. He made a plan to kill Udai Singh II but failed. Later on the Mughal army increased day by day in numbers and Akbar got much needed support. Akbar knew that attacking Chittorgarh Fort directly would end in the defeat of Mughals because of Rajput's support to Maharana Pratap in the event. He ordered a siege of the fort of Chittor from all sides to cut off supplies from outside to demoralize the Rajputs. The Mughals had a high amount of cannons and other artillery. In the years preceding, Akbar had fought many battles against the Rajputs and had realized that the Rajput owned Chittorgarh Fort must be eliminated because it was used as a bastion for those who opposed him.
