Battle of Khatoli
The Battle of
Khatoli was fought in 1518 between the Lodi dynasty under Ibrahim
Lodi and the Kingdom of Mewar under powerful Rajput king Rana Sanga, when Maharana Sanga
extended his kingdom to western Utter Pradesh and threatened to attack the sultan.
Soon Sultan Ibrahim Lodi ascended the throne after the death of Sikander Lodi
in 1518
He was engaged in
putting down the revolts of his nobles when news of Rana Sanga’s encroachments
reached him. He prepared an army and marched against Mewar. The Maharana advanced to meet him and the two armies
met near the village of Khatoli on the borders of Haravati. The Delhi army
could not stand the onslaught of the Rajput’s
and after a fight lasting five hours, the Sultan’s army gave way and fled
followed by the Sultan himself leaving a Lodi prince prisoner in the hands of Sanga. The prince
was released after a few days on payment of a ransom. In this battle, the
Maharana lost an arm by a sword cut and an arrow made him lame for life.
