'''Battle of Dholpur''' was fought between [[Realm|Kingdom]] of [[Mewar]] under [[Rana Sanga]] and [[Lodi dynasty]] under [[Ibrahim Lodi]].<br />
Rana Sanga defeated Ibrahim Lodi in Dholpur after defeating Lodi in [[battle of Khatoli]].<br />
<br />
[[Ibrahim Lodi]] was seething because of his defeat at the [[Battle of Khatoli]] at the hands of Rana Sanga. To avenge it, he made great preparations and moved against [[Rana Sanga]]. The Rajput armies were stretched because of conflicts with the Sultans of [[Malwa]] and [[Gujarat]]. [[Ibrahim Lodi]] was keen on taking advantage of this situation to crush the Rajputs. In hot action fought near [[Dholpur]], the [[Rajput]]s, as in the earlier action, made a furious charge. "under its momentum, The Lodi army scattered like dead leaves caught in a gale". [[Ibrahim Lodi]] was once again humbled and [[Rana Sanga]] followed this victory by conquering most of present-day [[Rajasthan]].<br />
<br />
==Battle==<br />
When Ibrahim Lodi's army reached Rana Sanga's territory, the Maharana quickly advanced with his [[Rajput]]s. As the two armies came in sight of each other near [[Dholpur]],<ref>Erakine's History of india, vol I,p 480.</ref> Mian Makhan made dispositions for the battle. Said Khan Furat and Haji Khan were placed on the right, Daulat Khan commanded the center, Allahdad Khan and Yusuf Khan were placed on the left. The army of Ibrahim Lodi was fully prepared to give the Maharana a warm reception.<br />
<br />
The [[Rajput]]s started the battle with a cavalry charge which was personally led by [[Rana Sanga]], his cavalry with their accustomed valour, advanced and fell on the army of Ibrahim Lodi, and in a short time put the enemy to flight. "Many brave and worthy men were made martyrs and the others were scattered".<ref>Tarikhi Salatini Afghana in Elliot's history of india vol V, p19.</ref> The Rajputs pushed the army of Ibrahim Lodi up to [[Bayana]].<ref>The Hindupat, the Last Great Leader of the Rajput Race. 1918.

<br />
Hussain Khan taunted his fellow nobles from [[Delhi]]: "It is a hundred pities that 30,000 horsemen should have been defeated by so few [[Hindus]]."<ref name=Elliot1 /><br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
By this victory, each part of [[Malwa]] which had been usurped by Muhammad Shah (Sahib Khan), younger brother of Sultan Mahmud Khilji II of [[Mandu, Madhya Pradesh|Mandu]], during his rebellion against his brother, and had subsequently been taken possession of by Sultan [[Sikander Lodi]], father of Sultan [[Ibrahim Lodi]], now fell into the hands of the Maharana of Mewar, Rana Sanga. [[Chanderi]] was one of the many places which fell into the hands of the Maharana,<ref>Erskine's History of India, Vol. I, page 480.</ref> who then bestowed it on [[Medini Rai]] as a gift.<ref>The Hindupat, the Last Great Leader of the Rajput Race. 1918.
