The Battle of Haldighati (1576) was the famous encounter between Maharana Pratap of Mewar and the Mughal forces led by Man Singh I (representing Akbar). Though Rana Pratap lost the battle, his resistance became legendary. Plassey (1757) was a British battle, Kalinga (261 BCE) was Ashoka's war, and Panipat was a series of battles involving Afghans and Marathas.
