The '''Battle of [[Dewair]]''' (Dewar) was fought between [[Amar Singh I]] of Mewar and Mughal army under [[Muhammad Parviz|Parviz]] and Asaf Khan III. Shortly after his accession in 1606, [[Jahangir]] sent an army of 40,000 strong cavalry to attack Mewar. Parviz was only the figurative commander while in reality the ''[[de facto]]'' commander was Asaf Khan.<ref>{{Cite book|title=History of Jahangir|last=Prasad|first=Beni|pages=227}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=The Mughal Throne: The Saga of India's Great Emperors|last=Eraly|first=Abraham|pages=259}}</ref>Amar Singh personally killed the Mughal commander Sultan Khan and his horse by spear which went through both sultan khan and his horse, due to which he is known as '''Chakrveer''' (also called '''Chakraveer''').

== Aftermath ==<br />
Ultimately, Amar Singh could not hold his territories for long. After the battle, Jahangir sent another army under [[Mahabat Khan]] in 1608, and the battle was a stalemate. In 1614, he sent [[Prince Khurram]] with an army against Mewar. The army was victorious in 1615 with Amar Singh surrendered to Prince Khurram and [[Karan Singh II]] (Amar Singh's son) signed a favourable treaty with Mughals accepting Mughal rule.<ref>{{cite book |last=Prasad |first=Beni |year=1930 |orig-year=First published 1922 |title=History of Jahangir |edition=Second |location=Allahabad |publisher=The Indian Press |page=239 |quote=Constant skirmishes were thinning the Rajput ranks ...
