The '''Battle of Mandsaur''' took place in [[Mandsaur]], [[India]] between the [[Maratha Empire]] army and [[Jai Singh II]] of [[Kingdom of Amber|Amber]].<br />
<br />
== Battle ==<br />
In February 1732, the Marathas completely surrounded Jai Singh with their enormous cavalry and started cutting of his supplies. The Jaipur Raja was forced to sue for peace, he offered the marathas six lakhs, but Holkar refused and demanded more. While the negotiations were taking place, a rumour surfaced about reinforcements from the emperor. This raised the morale of the Jaipur army and the Rajputs got ready for battle, the Marathas quickly attacked the rearguard of the Jaipur army and killed its commander. The Rajputs also attacked and killed fifteen Maratha officers in the fight that followed. Holkar and his men retreated 30 miles away from the battlefield. Jai Singh followed them but was outpaced by the Maratha cavalry who reached Jai Singhs camp and forced him to surrender.<ref name=JP>{{Cite book|first=Jadunath|last=Sarkar|title=History of Jaipur: C. 1503-1938|publisher=Orient Longman|year=1984|isbn=9788125003335|pages=180|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O0oPIo9TXKcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=jadunath+sarkar+jaipur#q=Malwa|access-date=2020-09-24}}</ref><br />
