Template:Infobox military conflict The Battle of Dewair (Dewar) was fought between Amar Singh I of Mewar and Mughal army under 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.[1][2]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). Parviz and Asaf Khan retreated from the battlefield.[3][4][5]Template:Sfn He was able to defend his territories for the time being.Template:Sfn
Aftermath
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.[6]
