Hindu king who never lost to Mughals

Ritik Raj

Chhatrasal is well known for his extraordinary military prowess; during his lifetime, he was the only fighter to emerge victorious from 52 fights.

Even though Chhatrasal came from modest beginnings, his bravery in beheading a Mughal soldier when he was ten years old predicted that he would become a powerful warrior.

When Chhatrasal enlisted in the Mughal army in 1667, he gained invaluable experience and insight into his opponents, which further enhanced his strategic acumen. 

Chhatrasal constantly outwitted and repelled the Mughals' forces, making their repeated attempts to subdue him in Bundelkhand fruitless.

With only thirty soldiers, Chhatrasal boldly waged war against the powerful Mughal empire in 1671, demonstrating his unwavering spirit and resolve.

Chhatrasal persistently defied the Mughal rulers and obstructed their attempts at conquest, displaying unwavering resilience and tenacity in the face of overwhelming odds.

It was a testament to Chhatrasal's military prowess and the overwhelming threat he posed to the imperial forces that succeeding Mughal commanders were unable to overcome him.

The 1707 treaty forged with Aurangzeb, which attests to Chhatrasal's continuing influence and the Mughals' recognition of his unwavering spirit, is a testament to his lasting legacy.
