Sangram Singh I 

(IAST: Rāṇā Saṅgrāma Siṃha; c. 1482 – 1528 CE), popularly known as Rana
Sanga or Maharana Sanga, was an Indian ruler from the Sisodia dynasty. He ruled Mewar, the
traditional territory of Guhilas (Sisodias) in present-day north-western India. However, through his
capable rule his kingdom turned into one of the greatest power of Northern India in early
sixteenth century.[3] He controlled parts of present-day Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya
Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh with capital at Chittor.[4] His reign was admired by several of
contemporaries including Babur, who described him the "greatest Indian king" of that time along
with Krishnadevaraya of South India. The Mughal historian Al-Badayuni called Sanga as the
bravest of all Rajputs along with Prithviraj Chauhan.[5] Rana Sanga was the last independent
Hindu king of Northern India to control a significant territory before the Mughal Era. In some
contemporary texts is described as the Hindu Emperor in Northern India.
In his long military career, Sanga achieved a series of unbroken successes against several
neighbouring Muslim kingdoms, most notably the Lodi dynasty of Delhi. He united
several Rajput clans for the first time since the Second battle of Tarain and marched against
the Timurid ruler Babur. Despite initial success, Sanga suffered a major defeat
at Khanwa through the Timurid's use of gunpowder, which was unknown in North India at the
time. He was later poisoned by his own nobles. His defeat at Khanwa is seen as a landmark
event in Mughal conquest of Northern India.
