Siege of Chittorgarh | Akbar | Mughal Empire | History of Chittorgarh | चितौड़ का नरसंहार
The siege of Chittorgarh (23 October 1567 – 23 February 1568) was a part of military expedition of Mughal Empire under Akbar against the Mewar kingdom that began in 1567 in which the Mughals successfully captured the fort of Chittorgarh after a hard-pressed siege that lasted for several months. Akbar, as part of his expansionist policy, besieged the politically important Sisodia capital of Chittor in October 1567 and declared the struggle as a Jihad against the infidels. On Akbar's advance, Sisodia ruler Maharana Udai Singh father of Maharana Pratap fled to the mountainous principality of his kingdom (on advice of his war councils) and placed the fort under the command of Jaimal Rathore. After over four months of seesaw action in which the Mughal forces suffered heavy casualties, the battle eventually break the deadloack when Jaimal Rathore succumbed to a musket shoot of Akbar on 22 February 1568. The fort was captured the next morning on the day of Holi after a gallant resistance by the Rajputs. The sack of Chittor was proclaimed by Akbar as the victory of Islam over infidels.
After the subjugation of fort, Akbar ordered a general massacre of Chittor population in which 30,000 Hindu civilians were slaughtered and several women and children were taken as prisoners. He handed the fort to his trusted general Asaf Khan and returned to Agra.
