'''Pratap Singh I''' ({{circa}} 9 May 1540 – 19 January 1597), popularly known as '''Maharana Pratap''' ({{IPA|hi|məɦaːˈɾaːɳaː pɾəˈtaːp|IPA|audio=Maharana Pratap.ogg}}), was a king of the [[Kingdom of Mewar]], in north-western India in the present-day state of [[Rajasthan]], from 1572 until his death in 1597. He is notable for leading the [[Rajput confederacy|Rajput]] resistance against the expansionist policy of the [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Akbar]] including the [[Battle of Haldighati]] and the [[Maharana Pratap#Revival of Mewar|Battle of Dewair]].

{{Main|Shahbaz Khan's invasions of Mewar}}
 
[[Shahbaz Khan Kamboh]] led multiple invasions that resulted in the subjugation of key areas in [[Mewar]], such as [[Kumbhalgarh]], [[Mandalgarh]], [[Gogunda]], and Central [[Mewar]], bringing them permanently under [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] rule. The [[Mughal Empire]] established its supremacy in [[Mewar]] after Shahbaz Khan's invasions. This ultimately led to a significant weakening of Pratap's power, forcing him to retreat to his hilly abode.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sharma |first=G.
