Maharana Pratap was the king of Mewar in Rajasthan.  He was the first son of Raja Uday Singh, thus he was trained to become a king since childhood. As a child Maharana Pratap was a very friendly and good natured. While on expeditions with his father he made many friends in local tribal kids who taught him surviving skills for hard times. After passing away of his father, Maharana Pratap became the king.

With his crown, came his long struggle against the Mughals. At that time Akbar was the king of Mughals, they were expanding their empire and wanted to conquer Gujarat through Mewar. Their policy was to make Indian kings bow to them and give them a prominent position in Mughal empire. Many kings gave in to Akbar, but Maharana Pratap stood his ground, not willing to give up Mewar. This lead to the famous battle of Haldighati. This extensive battle was won by Mughals, and an injured Maharana Pratap was carried by his beloved horse Chetak, who took the famous leap of 22 feet, which saved the king's life but proved fatal for the horse.

After that Maharana Pratap lived in jungle for years, depending on the surviving skills learnt in childhood from his tribal friends, and preparing to reclaim Mewar from the Mughals. Ultimately another battle took place and Maharana Pratap reclaimed most of his land from the Mughals. King Akbar, who has started respecting Maharana Pratap by this time, withdrew from Mewar. Maharana Pratap ruled the kingdom till his last breath and was succeeded by his son Rana Amar Singh.
