Maharana thought,“If I somehow manage to kill ManaSingh,there is a slight chance of winning thebattle”Maharana Pratap advancedtowards ManaSingh without any supportor backup. ManaSingh was riding anelephant. Pratap, riding a horse Chetak,attacked him like a fierce lion. He threwhis spear aiming at ManaSingh, butelephant moved and spear missed itstarget. Soon Maharana was surroundedfrom all sides by enemy soldiers. But hewas saved by his wise horse Chetak, whotook him in an unconscious state awayfrom the battle scene. Chetak was alsobadly wounded, but he did not stop untilhe took his master to safe place.Maharana fought bravely. In this battle he lost almost all his army. Afterthe battle, he and his family lived in exile. But he didn’t give up. He againstarted raising army with the help of his friend Bhama Shah and Bhil Tribals.Bhama Shah helped him raise the money and weapons. Bhil Tribals providedhim with man-power.Maharana Pratap fought relentlessly for fifteen years to get his kingdomback. By the end of 1584, he managed to liberate his most of the lost territories.But he could not get his Chittor (Capital of Mewar) back. It was still occupiedby the enemies. His dream was partially fulfilled. After the relentless efforts,he died in 1597.“Where there is a will, there is a way” is a familiar and well-known saying.This saying underlines a very vital fact of life, very few truly understand andpractice it. Maharana Pratap practiced it. He did not give up until his lastbreath.Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS)13
