The land of Chittorgarh rightfully deserved not only Pratap Singh Sisodia, but also the illustrious Suryavanshi Kshatriya clan of Guhilots. Yet the prajas of Mewar proved that the people get the rulers they deserve. Rare is the Prince who gives up power, rarer still is the populace that restores the rightful ruler. He refused to make any compromises.вЂќ Background Raja Ravi VarmaвЂ™s rendition of Rana Pratap He roamed the forests like a fugitive, took shelter in caves, went hungry, saw his children eat grassbread and his queen suffer the life of a tribal woman. вЂњThe ordeals he went through to defend his pride makes a hair raising story. Pranams to Pratap Singh, the mighty Maharana of Mewar, and Kshatriya veer Shiromani of the Kali Age.

Therefore, for the spirit of Rajadharma to be restored, a shining example of it must be given due honour. They become slaves to pleasure, and those who promise to give it.

Without integrity, without self-respect, people let alone a leader, cannot lead lives of dignity. But he who can barter away everything truly has nothing. The rulers of today (as well as their вЂњrajgurusвЂќ) gladly betray their Rajadharmaall in the name of вЂњchanakya nitiвЂќ. And yet, in the lust for power, modern Hinduspay nominal respect to his name but fail to implement his legacy. Such was this symbol of kshatriyata that he commands respect to this day. The Patriot who literally would rather eat grass than give his daughters to mlecchas. The King who risked his kingdom in war to preserve Dharma. The Prince who gave up the throne to preserve family unity.

The very name has attained an almost sacred quality from the length and breadth of Bharatvarsh.
