UPPCS (Pre) 2022

A. Malwa
B. Mewar
C. Bundelkhand
D. Marwar

Answer: Marwar

Option d is the correct answer. Jayata and Kumpa were brave Rajput Generals in Indian history. In the Battle of Sammel in 1544, they fearlessly fought against an Afghan army of 80,000 with just 5,000 soldiers, without help from their king, Maldeo Rathore. The battle was known for its "Do or Die" spirit, fought not just for conquest but for the people. Impressed by their courage, Sher Shah Suri praised them, saying, "I had given away the country of Delhi for a handful of millets," as he tricked Maldeo into leaving his commanders behind. This showed the Rajputs' unyielding spirit against overwhelming odds.
