Heroic Myth versus History Scholarship
editI have no intention of correcting this work but the introduction and text are horribly written with an obvious personal bias. "valiant" "chivalry and generosity" "his gallantry inspired many others" "bravely" "exemplary king" "indomitable spirit" "Rajput kings were famous for their bravery, love of the country" "The pinnacle of prosperity, the heights of valour."
A more impartial approach would read far better.
Hi all, I can assure everybody that the correct spelling of this king's name is Sanga, and not Sangha. Trust me on this. So please do not revert the changes that I am making.
I agree fully with the apprehension felt about the introduction. Just the fact that he murdered all his brothers seems glossed over by continuing with epiteths such as "valiant" suggest that the writer is not only biased but perhaps lacking in perception as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.250.177.237 (talk) 19:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Rana Sanga is what a true Rajput is meant to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.88.155 (talk) 22:27, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
The previous comment unfortunately underlines what is wrong with this page : a total lack of scholarship in favor of a shallow allegiance to tribal legends & Myths of Heroism. Its a pity that these "rajputs" - who are so proud of themselves ! - cannot find a single miniature painting to accompany this article ( or cannot go to the trouble of up-loading it for Wikipedia ), do not mention the primary sources for the legends : the incomparable heroic verse epics still sung verbatim by Traditional performers in Rajasthan - & apparently haven't done the difficult work of reading their own history. Fantasies are not facts - & sad to say, if Rajputs are not serious about studying & passing on their history, it will eventually devolve into a series of fantastic tales, of no more importance than any other fairy tale told to children ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.190.230.62 (talk) 19:43, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- I think you are no one to represent historians for this topic considering you might only be getting to know him from this article itself 219.74.109.148 (talk) 12:05, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
I do sincerely hope sufficient verifiable scholarship will be forthcoming in the not-too-distant future that fact may be delineated clearly from the fictions which have doubtless sprouted and grown up around it through ensuing generations' telling of these sorts of tales. I do not for an instant doubt whatever legendary epics may have come to stand for history in telling the story of this one man's life have a certain literary value all their own. Perhaps some day this entry will do justice all around, not only to competing historical narratives but also to the legends which must read rather like the Nibelungenlied.

In Kumbha's lineage was Rana Sangram Singh or Sanga. Lodi was defeated by Man Singh Tomar of Gwalior but being a Hindu Man Singh out of magnaninimity let Ibrahim go back to Delhi. Man Singh's descendants fought at Haldighati along with Maharana Pratap against Akbar and showed exemplary bravery. Lodi was defeated by Babur later. Now Babur was having sleepless nights because of Sanga. Babur sent about 1500 choice cavalry to attack Sanga. These were butchered by Sanga's rajputs. Babur wanted to discuss peace terms. For discussions Sanga sent his general Silhadi (Shiladitya). Babur won this general by promising him independent kingdom. Silhadi came back and reported that babur does not want peace and he wants to fight. Fight started and Babur's army was being knocked out of the field and victory was certain for Sanga. At this juncture Silhadi and his army just left the field and this tilted the war in favor of Babur and he won.

Sourcing
editI have just reverted recent additions to this article because the citations are not good enough. Please feel free to reinstate the content if you provide full details for the sources used. A review of WP:Citing sources may assist, and we'll certainly need details of publisher, page number(s) etc. Also, James Tod should not be used because he is not a reliable source. - Sitush (talk) 09:18, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have removed Tod yet again. I am also very unhappy with the citations that have been added and was tempted to stub this thing once more. However, I've left them in there for now and request that someone with access to the cited sources provides full citations. A read of WP:Citing sources might not go amiss. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 10:42, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting. Might I suggest that cursory glance over Identifying reliable sources might not hurt anyone sincerely hoping to improve this entry, either? :^) :^)
- So, if I'm reading this right, Tod was a foreign military intelligence officer with some background in linguistics who was working in the barely nascent field of ethnology for an occupying global colonial empire. It might be very interesting at some point to figure out precisely which kernels of truth might actually be buried deep beneath all those red flags regarding not just Tod's verifiability but also various overlapping conflicts of vested interests. I'm guessing that would be a matter of original research at this point, though, so yeah; I guess all I can really do right now is just commiserate in spirit with Sitush that the citations on this article are (at writing) pretty damn downright sad, especially in light of current conflict in the region since the British Empire finally withdrew. That, and some copy editing, and once again expressing the hope that anyone with high-quality sources of verifiable information on the matter will at some point turn up and be forthcoming. Cheers, Xeltifon (talk) 13:43, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Rajput Vizier/Wazir Medini Rai Disambiguation
editAt writing, the third sentence under "Conquest of Malwa" reads "Wary of his Rajput Wazir Medini Rai's power, the politically weak Mehmod sought outside assistance from both Sultan Ibrahim Lodi of Delhi and Bahadur Shah of Gujarat." In adding wikilinks to it earlier, I inadvertently linked to disambiguation pages for "Wazir" as well as for "Bahadur Shah". The latter of these is now fixed in such a way that the man's name links to the entry for the man, "of" links to nothing, and "Gujarat" links to -- well, Gujarat. :^) :^)
The former of these, however, is more problematic. Lacking any plausible and readily verifiable reason for changing it, I have retained the prior editor's visible spelling of "Wazir", but in order to avoid linking to the likewise-named disambiguation page, I have actually linked the visible "Wazir" to the entry for "Vizier", i.e., the title, rather than "Wazir", the ethnic group. This is pure guesswork on my part. It strikes me as the more plausible gloss of the word "Wazir" in this context, but my paucity of knowledge of the subject matter does not by any means allow for me to claim the particular link which I've selected as the only possible one. I therefore sincerely hope that somebody who does know what I do not, here, will clarify, possibly fix (if needed), and ultimately verify whichever disposition in the matter may eventually be found through consensus to be the actual fact which we're attempting to convey to readers, here.
I do not actually know which article should be linked, but believe "Wazir" should lead to something unambiguous one way of another, because for readers (like myself) who come to this page knowing nothing whatsoever of the subject matter, the simple string of unlinked text reading "Rajput Wazir Medini Rai" may logically be parsed in several very different ways, from a four-word proper (though not necessarily personal) noun at one extreme, to a four-word formal title of some unnamed person or another on the other hand. I personally consider that to be unfortunate, insofar as it reduces a complex, compelling story to an arbitrary string of letters utterly devoid of meaning for readers with neither the time, wherewithal, nor perhaps even the merest inclination to look into matters just a little tiny bit further than they might only ever do if the words in that phrase (and others like it) are appropriately linked.
I very much look forward to seeing how this entry continues to develop over time. Thank you to everyone who has contributed already, making it very much well worth my time to do a little copy editing. Cheers, Xeltifon (talk) 13:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
general discussion
editwhy did rana sanga moved towards delhi instead of towards pakistan or afganisthan and stopped the flow through which outsiders are comming? External / outsiders are comming to delhi through pakistan and afganisthan. He would have first moved towards pakistan and afganistan so that these people would not have got help from outsiders to stay in India. If it srikrishnadevaraya living at the time he would have made a promise that "untill and unless I catch hold of Sardar Silhadi of Raisen I willnot keep my foot inside chittor". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.6.57.119 (talk) 04:01, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
The Lodi empire was not getting help from outside instead his governor in Punjab was plotting against him and invited babur by telling him how weak North India had become due the the rebellions and wars. Rana Sanga wanted Gujarat to make sea trades possible, if this would have happened he could have traded with the Portuguese which would have given him access to gunpowder weapons. As to why he did not move as far as Pakistan and Afghanistan- It was not easy for Rana Sanga to just move around he was surrounded by enemies from all sides Gujarat, Malwa, Lodi's and his empire was a coalition of Rajput kingdoms so before making a decision he had to make sure that all the Rajput leaders agreed.

Gurjar origin of Mewar house
editAs per the local tradition in hadoti region, the nahan (religious bath) before Holi is observed in honour of a valorous gujjar named Sanga who sacrificed his life in the month of Holi. It is to be noted that Sanga and Rana Sanga were the same person, who died on 17th March 1527 (five days from Holi). I dont think any more proof is needed to show what the truth is.

Semi-protected edit request on 15 August 2021
editCan any autoconfirmed user please undo the recent edits by a user who deliberately removed sourced information from the article and instead ends up adding unsourced information themself, take a look at here MobileDiff/1038727515 where they added unsourced puffery with edit summary fixed typo and grammar. See also MobileDiff/1038726135 they changed northern India with north-western India despite the fact that the source is present in lead with quotes which mentioned northern India. They also did some unconstructive edits on Babur page, see this MobileDiff/1037733523 which is reverted but since this page is in less attention such disruption happens. Therefore, I am pinging @Ohnoitsjamie: as he was the administraitor who added protection to these article. Anyone please restore last best revision by Arjayay as of 21:15, 8 August 2021. Please do it soon Winged Adult (talk) 01:03, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hello User:Winged Adult. Since you are autoconfirmed you are able to edit the article yourself, so long as you believe your changes have consensus. Your diff links don't work so I am guessing you might be referring to recent changes by Aninahelaarg980 (talk · contribs). His last edit of Rana Sanga was here. EdJohnston (talk) 02:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: Yes, all three of their recent edits should be reverted. Sorry for this link error, It's not about consensus they removed sourced content see here [1], they removed northern India with north-western India despite the fact that quotes mentioned Norther India take a look here (they claimed it unsourced):-
Mewars grand recovery commended under Lakha and later under kumbha and most notably under Sanga it became one of the greatest power in the northern india in first quater of 16th century
- All 3 edits of this user are not really constructive or improving enclyopedia. Thus, please restore last best revision by Arjayay as of 21:15, 8 August 2021. Winged Adult (talk) 02:34, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- This appears to be a content dispute. As an admin, I don't usually take a position on who is right, unless it is vandalism. I hope that others who normally follow this page will give their opinions on whether to undo the changes by Aninahelaarg980 (talk · contribs). EdJohnston (talk) 02:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

- @EdJohnston: This is not content dispute it's simply changing sourced content to their preference and claiming it unsourced too despite the fact that source clearly mentioned Northern India as can be seen by quotes. Best. Winged Adult (talk) 02:49, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Whether statements are sourced is usually up to the regular editors to decide unless it's extremely blatant. I am stepping away from this issue. See WP:DR for your other options. EdJohnston (talk) 03:00, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Sir I had just removed vandalism as they were claiming Mewar the most powerful among entire North India which we know that Delhi Sultanate was 4 times larger in size and Sanga never took a single city of delhi then how his mewar considered most powerful in entire North India, thus I had done that change from whole North India to North- western, still Timurid Kabul was more powerful then him in North-western India Aninahelaarg980 (talk) 09:05, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
@Aninahelaarg980: It's not vandalism part, that statement was sourced as I added quotes too (which are there in the article too). This is original research which is not allowed on enclyopedia. Anyway just to let you know that Delhi Sultanate was a spent force which was long crumbling before Sanga's reign.(Sanga smashed Lodhis several times) [1]

The battle of khanua was one of the most decisive battles in Indian history certainly more than that of Panipat as Lodhi empire was already crumbling and Mewar had emerged as major power in northern India. Thus, Its at Khanua the fate of India was sealed for next two centuries

Map
edit@Rawn3012, please attempt to get a consensus before adding your map. In my opinion, the current map looks better. PadFoot (talk) 15:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dooblts, please discuss your concerns here. PadFoot (talk) 15:25, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Your argument is that your map looks better? How so? It is a non-academic map and highly exaggerated, with the sources cited not even supporting the areas it claims belonged to the Mewar Kingdom. For example, the map shows Gwalior as part of Mewar, but during the same era, the Lodis conquered Gwalior from the Tomaras in the Siege of Gwalior (1518). This is just on example, I can show you multiple examples like this Dooblts (talk) 15:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)- @Dooblts The map which you preferred shows Mandu the capital of Malwa Sultanate which was not part of Mewar at any point in time. Hence it automatically makes your map unreliable. Sanga captured Gwalior after the battle of Dholpur which took place in 1519 one year after the Seige of Gwalior and as rightly quoted by Rima Hooja in A History of Rajasthan Page no 451 "Ibrahim Lodi initiated action against Mewar, sending an army led by Mian Makhan. The Delhi Sultanate’s army included commanders like Mian Hussain, Zar Baksh, Mian Farmuli and Mian Maruf14. Rana Sanga, in turn, advanced against the Delhi army and dealt it a conclusive defeat. (Mian Hussain apparently opted to change sides as a result). The Rana also captured Chanderi, which Sultan Sikandar Lodi had invested in 1514 (along with Gwalior and parts of Malwa)".So Gwalior was a part of Mewar. Now @PadFoot2008 It was me who had added the map first and months prior. So it is @Dooblts job to get consensus and again If you have any tertiary source which asserts Mandu was a part of Mewar.You can present it to me.The atlas which is being cities here is known for Many disocupancies as shown in the Map of Vijaynagar Empire too. I am re-adding my map and unitll and unless you have a source which directly states Mandu as part of Mewar(aside of atlas itself). Please refrain from editing
Regards Rawn3012 (talk) 01:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rawn3012, since you added the map first, and @Dooblts reverted it, its your job to get a consensus first. I've removed both maps until there's consensus on which to use. PadFoot (talk) 02:43, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dooblts' s version shows Mandu(capital of Malwa Sultanate) as a part of Mewar which is not true as corroborated by many authors. Then how come is there any comparison between an un-reliable map and a map which is made upon the sources of renowned author's Like Rima Hooja, RV Somani and DR. Mankekar.

- I am re-adding my map as @Dooblts is likely a sockpuppet of User:Dabuno Rawn3012 (talk) 05:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rawn3012, it seems likely but not proven yet. You have to get consensus before adding. PadFoot (talk) 07:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Padfoot can you check if the citation mentioned in Battle of Dholpur talks about that Sanga captured Gwalior or not Dooblts (talk) 09:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)- I checked it and another source as well, and it appears that Rana Sanga did capture the fortress of Gwalior. PadFoot (talk) 11:24, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rawn3012, I looked into the sources provided by you and they seem good to me. However, you should clean up the map and make it similar to the map you made for Western Chalukya Empire (but retain the cities). Also, you should make modifications so as to depict that Amber and Marwar were seperate kingdoms but acknowledged Sanga as their leader. PadFoot (talk) 11:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @PadFoot2008 Hi I would change the base of the map but Kingdoms of Marwar and Amber were the vassals of Sanga. As corrobrated by R.V Somani in his book History of Mewar from the Earliest time to 1707 Page no 168 "Maharana Sanga’s power was at zenith, all the Rajputs chiefs according to Amar Kavya Vamshavali®” owed their allegiance to him. ‘The contemporary work Shatrunjaya Tirthoddhar Prabandh" mentions him as an Emperor of the northern India, Similar fact is also mentioned in the Toda inscription'® of V. 8, 004, Col, Tod, hay rightly observed” that eighty thousand horses, seven Rajas of the highest rank, nine Raos and one hundred and four chieftains, bearing the title Rawal and Rawat with 500 war elephants followed him in the wars," also by R.C Majumdar in A History and Culture of Indian People Page no.344" Even the chiefs of Mar war and Ambar, according to Tod, acknowledged his allegiance. But the significance of his successes was more than the mere annexations of lands, large as they were, would indicate." same is also said by G.N Sharma in Mewar and Mughal Emperors Page no 18"Sanga now a veritable leader of Hindu India and the greatest living Rajput chief and leader who had succeeded in establishing sovereignty of Mewar over Rajasthan and successfully established his supremacy over Malwa and Gujarat, entertained the ambition of an arbiter in the politics of Hindustan." Rima Hooja in A History of Rajasthan has said the same thing. Rawn3012 (talk) 13:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rawn3012, yes and I am asking you to depict the Kingdom of Amber and Kingdom of Marwar as vassals of the Kingdom of Mewar in your map, instead of showing them as a part of Mewar. PadFoot (talk) 13:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @PadFoot2008,@Dooblts@Rawn3012 I have removed this nonreliable BritishRaj source written in (1918) as such sources should not be use for history/caste or community related claims but for exact quotations under "quoteblock" it can be use but not for a claim or as references also added tag for citations & page.223.123.10.169 (talk) 16:47, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

- @PadFoot2008 Hi! Vassal kingdoms are normally included in the part of the territory of the state of which they were vassals. The Gupta Empire had many vassals, so as the Mughals and Marathas, but their map includes vassals too without color difference. Rawn3012 (talk) 13:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- In case of empires, vassals are usually part of the empire, however, here in this case, Amber and Marwar kingdoms were not part of the Mewar kingdom, rather under the leadership of Sanga (the Rajput Confederacy which Babur defeated). Thus, they should be shown as seperate entities (in lighter colour but with a border as well) albeit providing allegiance to Mewar. PadFoot (talk) 13:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Historians like Har Bilas Sarda had used the term Empire for Sanga's territory and Rajput confederacy is only used by british historians and Satish Chandra. Prominient historians of Rajasthan like Hima Rooja, R.V Somani and G.N Sharma had not used the word confederacy and G.N Sharma cleary stated that Rajasthan, Gujarat and Malwa were Part of Mewar under Sanga which I have added as a source for first para of the lead.

Rima Hooja in A History of Rajasthan has said the same thing. Rawn3012 (talk) 13:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rawn3012, it seems likely but not proven yet. You have to get consensus before adding. PadFoot (talk) 07:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I am re-adding my map as @Dooblts is likely a sockpuppet of User:Dabuno Rawn3012 (talk) 05:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rawn3012 Dooblts is a sock of User:Dabuno 2409:4085:1E03:E54C:192:38AF:4B56:E1BB (talk) 05:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dooblts' s version shows Mandu(capital of Malwa Sultanate) as a part of Mewar which is not true as corroborated by many authors. Then how come is there any comparison between an un-reliable map and a map which is made upon the sources of renowned author's Like Rima Hooja, RV Somani and DR. Mankekar.

That's some gross oversimplification. Now you claim that Rana Sanga ruled over an "empire" which brings this discussion into POV territory. A vast majority of sources refer to the Kingdom of Mewar as, well, the "Mewar kingdom" and not an empire. Most sources don't mention Amber and Marwar to be part of Mewar and rather as accepting Sanga's suzerainty or leadership, or as providing their allegiance to him.
