Playback by Murlidhar and Jasvinder Singh. Songs composed by Kuldip Singh.
As Nehru observes, while Vijaynagar was flourishing in the south and the petty sultanates reigned in Delhi in the 14th and 15th centuries, there were individual strongholds of Orissa, Bengal and Awadh in the east, and Gujarat, Malwa and Rajasthan in the west. In the and Babur north, however, the Turkish, Afghan and Moghul conquests resulted in rapid development of India’s contacts with Central and Western Asia. Babur, a prince of the Timurind line, established himself on the throne of Delhi in 1526 and his frank diary Babur-Nama remains a graphic guide to his tempestuous times in India.
Under Rana Kumbha of Mewar, the great plateau of capital Chittor was fortified. Drawing upon James Tod’s Annal and Antiquities of Rajasthan, the curtain opens on Mewar where the princes Prithviraj, Jaimal and Sangram Singha (later Rana Sanga), sons of King Raimal, are seen heading for a remote-dwelling Yogin to foretell their royal destiny. With the prophecy favouring Rana Sanga, the braggart Prithviraj eliminates Jaimal and attacks and injures Rana Sanga. Prithviraj is consequently banished from the kingdom, yielding the throne to Rana Sanga. Even with a single hand and a single leg, Rana Sanga is fiercely patriotic and contemplates power beyond Ibrahim Lodi in Delhi by inviting Babur.
Babur, on receiving the missive from Rana Sanga, launches his successful bid in 1525 with a highly mobile force and with the new gunpowder technology. There have been terminal rivalries after the death of the powerful king Sikander Lodi, amidst his son and successor Ibrahim Lodi in Delhi and his sibling in Jaunpur. In 1526, Babur’s army meets Ibrahim Lodi’s troops with the latter’s advantage of 10:1 at Panipat and wins through a superior strategy by attacking on the two flanks as well as from behind, turning the enemy’s bulk into his disadvantage.
Rana Sanga, who had encouraged Babur to invade, simply hoped for a Lodi rout and then a Mughal withdrawal, leaving the coast clear for his own ambitions. As the song of Guru Nanak conveys, Babur’s final coming to India was a matter of moral degradation for India. He moves out to give battle, amidst unfavourable soothsaying, defection of forts and a desertion of Indian recruits. He turns on the Rajputs, though much superior in number, at Khanua and has a fiercely-contested fight, relying, on semi-fortified arrangement of ditches and chained carts interspersed with artillery and matchlock-men. According to Tod’s Annals, defeat results from treachery, making Sanga retreat and leaving the Mughals supreme in the heartland of North India.
After winning his spurs at Panipat and Khanua, Babur sends Humayun, his favourite eldest son and designated heir, to Afghanistan. When told that Humayun is ill, he offers his own life and takes to bed, never to get up again. He is buried in his favourite garden in Kabul.

There was neither truth nor untruth neither space nor sky before Shrishti
Was it hidden what was said who hid it at that moment it was also said to be unfathomable and endless
He knows the truth in me whether he knows it or not
Now let's take a look at India in the 18th and 19th centuries
The Delhi Sultanate vanished completely until the arrival of Timur
There were many large and independent states in Hindustan
Most of the lands where Muslim rulers reigned
Bengal Jaunpur Malwa Gujara
The Delhi Sultanate was in the south
And a powerful Hindu kingdom Vijayanagar
Then was Rajasthan to the north of the Gujarat Sultanate
Where many small Rajput kingdoms existed
The beginning of the 19th century
The Lodi dynasty once again took control of the Delhi Sultanate
It had become a powerful state
The city of Jaunpur was destroyed
And many Rajput kingdoms came under the rule of Delhi
But Mewar and Marwar did
Hold fast to your freedom
Rana Kumbha was a great and virtuous king
After Rana Kumbha Gadih Sambhali Rayamal took over
They had three sons: Prithviraj Jaimal and Sangram Singh
The one called Rana Sanga
Who became the heir of Chittorgarh's mare
They wanted to do it while Raymala was still alive
Then their younger brother Surajman offered a truce
Let her go after this
Oh wicked ones
You are a real fool Mother
I am a fool
You just keep changing the name of the goddess don't you
Who will be the mayor
Who is the first in these temples
I am
After that
I'm coming
I came last yes Mother
After that are you still sitting on the edge of the bed
The king who sits on the throne is mighty
This is absurd I
will become the king
Did you want to know the future
I'll tell you
Take this and make a deal with the mother
What if I'm sitting on this skin
But Bhagari ji you are not sitting on the floor
I forgot about Mara
And the mistake can be corrected
Get out of here
They are sitting on these chairs
Good morning your order has been delivered
You cannot change the words of the goddess mother
As long as Sangram Singh lives there is hope
I will never let these creatures go
Hey Improve yourself
Sangar all my brothers come here
I will not let these creatures go
I'll break them into pieces
I will become the king
King Earth you raise your hand against your brother
A great sin has been committed
Mara has found out
What will happen to Earth's reign
When Raimal heard the news of the invasion of the Earth Kingdom
So in anger Earth expelled the king from the country
Rana Sangha also went missing
They had no idea where he was
Then Raimal made the third son Jaimal the king
The fate of Mewar began to s
The news of King Prithvi's death arrived
And then it turned out that Rana Sanga is alive
And the servants of King Karam Chand in Srinagar
Bhure Raiyal immediately called his middle son
And he was given the throne
Forget the past it's all been a year that's fine
Understand that time will pass regardless
May the goddess of the priestess's feet be realized as the supreme goddess
Tell the truth my brothers
This has been a year filled with many difficulties and hardships
Nevada is a state in the US
My brother Pratiraj you are the one who causes death
And the eldest son's father died
In the quiet of the evening
There is also a good mood
Who always gave heart and respec
My name is Muhammad
They are the eternal friends King Karman
This was a Vera Purse by Maraj
Karamchan Ji In the form of a gift
I have been entrusted with the responsibility of the estate
I wish you to sit and rule the kingdom of Sukku
This is your generosity Maraj
You are not a true friend Zeda
Then Ransanga gave his own life
Brothers Meewada
has caused trouble
Malwa Gujarat Delhi's governme
Mewar has not allowed any kingdom to advance
Malwa is dancing on Gujarat and Delhi
And it's a shameful thing for the Rajputs
That the Rajput Thikaner Thakar is also dancing in the heart
Brothers this is a good opportunity
That you all people of Mewar have come together and not given me answer
When the heart is filled with love it becomes pure
I have a wound first apply it to the heart
That is the path of the law which allows one to move forward
I promise you that I will be faithful to you
I wanted to go with all of you
Rana Sangari come on
When Rana Sangha's reign began in Mewar
The Lodhi dynasty ruled in Delhi at that time
1451 This year the eastern subah of Afghanista
Sultan of Delhi Bahlol Lodi took the throne
Some days ago the Lodhi Afghan followed his usual custom
Customs have begun to adopt the feudal colors and ways
Bahlool and his son Alexander too
The Afghan kings granted fiefdoms
And kept them happy by giving them some freedom at every step
But Alexander's son Arba was proud
And he had no trust at all in his old friends
Our weak brother Jalal Khan said
Aka you rejected their gift
So the prince fled like Gauhari
And Azam Humayun launched an attack on the city
And he didn't even manage to catch that scoundrel Jalal
Khan Prince Jalal has gone missing in the commotion
I don't know where they've escaped to
Hair on the head also turned gray with age
And even common sense was hit by the rain
Uncle Don't talk nonsense
You're definitely hiding something from us
I am
Akka Kamosh
I am a potato
Look here my uncle
Some of the Haimars of this sultanate are still our loyalists
Aka believe me
forgive that prince
He is your younger brother
He has acted
foolishly Look
How does the dampness of apology beg
The pot boiled over it seemed like a
sizzling sound This was a sizzling sound
I didn't make any
promises He speaks
After the death of Maruf Kha
You and your servant's friends have
They did not speak
of the expansion of the Sultanate
Give Jalal Khan Kamjurf the donkey from Jaunpur
And keep Delhi with you
This sultan ruled during the reign of Sultan Sikandar
There was no intention to break it apart
A sultanate can have only one sultan
You always act like a parrot
while we are Afghans
After the father's death the
area increases among the brothers
Allah is the same
forever and ever
And this is our narration
Times have changed Uncle Mia
The right of the chief
is only for the Lohiyas
All others are our slaves forever
It is obligatory for the Lodi dynasty to return
The Sultan never had any fear of the Khans
But the chieftains of
the past will never agree
When you rein in your tongue you control the people
Because of a simple criminal like you
Mia Boo is a pet parrot
That's what she was saying
Now this parrot will speak from your head
When you say it also
It doesn't matter if you don't call it
You did not write any letters to the Governor of Punjab
My dear brother-in-law
Good
The sultan is not a madman of strength and power
Daulat Khan was not the instigator of the rebellion
Uncle Sultan Marufum has
this thing
And Daulat Khan was honored with a robe of honor
We are both your true
loyal servants Akka Alright
So he did not come to the court today
To demonstrate loyalty
He revealed his secret to his son Dilawar Khan
If he is loyal the
Why does it tremble when it comes itself
My father-in-law is not feeling well
They were still coming in large numbers
But the doctors didn't let them come
We know their illness as if it were our own
This guy must have slipped up because of the price this year
You have seen it with your own eyes
What punishment donkeys receive
You have seen it with your own eyes
Have you seen it
Yes sir
Go and tell your father
And also report the bad outcome of Miah Bua
Your game is over Bajajat
I'm taking this lazy one
Throw it into the trash it's rotten
Abraham you are taking the wrong path
You will give water to the tree that your father planted
This will have a very bad outcome Ibrahim
Respected allow me
You have been given some advice for your own good
Mack tell me what to do
Sultan has decided to teach the Rana of Mewar Sanga a lesson
I am ready to lead the army into battle immediately upon receiving the order
I will take care of the police
Sir what is this
March forward toward Khartoum with all your forces
Follow the order of the great commanders
Sirs it is not appropriate for me to enter the house of Makan
It would better if the Sultan
You also don't seem to have any idea about that scoundrel and that rascal
Forgive me Sir
The Sultan has become intoxicated with power
You know they took me somewhere yesterday
All the rich and owners are closed here at the same time
These were the same people who had once been loyal to the desert sultan Alexander
He who eats tilvar does not trust anyone
I've already made up my mind
What a decision What if the Sultan also shuts down your door
I am going to join Rana Sanga's army
And as soon as you reach Lahore inform Dawlat Khan about the situation here
My father will surely find a solution to this
And tell them that whatever steps they take we will certainly inform them
Mus
Mia Hussain Rana said that he met the army
The result was that Ibrahim's army was driven out by the Rajputs
Prove your abilities
Mia Hassan was sent back to Ibrahim Lodhi
In this battle Ransanga lost one hand and one leg
They tested their vassals by taking advantage of this situation
Viraaj you all
Feed the guest the provider of food
You are in the right place for your stay
No Auntie that doesn't seem right
I'm just sitting here waiting for you all to get hungry
No the provider of food I have not touched it
Sit down Grandpa
When a statue breaks dow
Do not worship
Why is Ude Singh ji okay
You are right come on Rana
The young king sits on the throne of Mewar
Even the full one must be done properly
My body is in this condition here
That you have no hand
But this one isn't working either
And the eye that strikes is the same one
Sit on the throne of the Lord in the state of Ad
You all seem okay
But your wound is a wound of blindness and arrogance
Vijera wound
Don't be blind don't be arrogant and don't be stubborn
Rise up rise up the throne is ready
You all want this
I want to know your opinion
Brothers there is a fruit in front of you
After the Battle of Iparai Lodhir
But my request is for blindness
That the first to be overthrown should be the Afghan Amir the enemy of the Sultan
No Ajya Ji we cannot trust Lodi Ria with Amira
I have sent an envoy to the Kabul ruler Babur to negotiate a truce
But Rana Ji people are such that their eyes are over the entire India
They showed wisdom by issuing the invitation
Uncle you must not forget that he is a Mughal
And the war is just in the chaos
Let the thieves take the goods
It means he
just wants to come to Delhi Bus
Stay in Delhi otherwise you'll be in trouble
Speak any matter you wish O Udesingi
Genghis stopped Temur stopped
Hey all of this is stolen thief
I have sent the Babar Cotton proposal
That when he comes to Delhi and makes a move
Then I will immediately launch an attack on Agra
You are the right Paramo Ranasaar
Rise when the throne is placed on the head
Just stop
When Babar was eleven years old
Then his father went to Gajar
and in that young age
When most children are in school
He had to lift the sword
He lost his throne
Then he won it back again
Then Fergana was defeated
and he had to go to Samarkand
And from there Kabul
Still he found time for art and reflection
Babur wrote his own memoir the Baburnama
And these charming books reveal his personality
Gives you a close-up view
GardenerSir
We made the right decision to turn this way
Exactly the same
This will keep you remembering Fergana forever
Do you also miss Fargana
Yes sir
The Fergana River its fruits and its grapes
And Khurwaj Pachha
Yes the joy of the jester is something else entirely
This garden will also bring vitality like the parks
How are the three trees
Yes they say three trees
He is there by the grace of three oaths
Let's go there Maybe we'
ll get some blessings too
Pacha people in the castle are waiting for you
They keep waiting every day
Pacha Shaisadi Kamran's nickname
Oh good that you reminded me
Otherwise Kamran's mom will never forgive us
Come on let's go to the wedding
You will find good food and excellent wine there
Music and poetry are differe
He always honors you with his kindness
Where is your cup Brother Tardi Bek
You feel incomplete without a cup in your hand
A LAC has arrived from Nahar
Let him wait let the celebration happen first
Let's go my dear even in the house
Big sister where did you go
The city's bars are in the countryside
A rebel check has found a place it likes
Such a beautiful place is there tha
Time also makes a man forget
As you get older dear brother
You're getting more and more stubborn
My stain is still
the same Good
You have eaten the salt of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi
Your uncle and grandfather as well
The Mughals were stationed on the Lothi Darbar
Why do you want our help
Is this not a kindness
Pasha Sultan Ibrahim
We put a ban on all our rich people
Many were killed the district was evacuated
She brought all sorts of delicacies by putting them in the basket
We are not becoming the kings of India
Therefore many wealthy people risk their lives for money
I have been sent to you
All my friends are eagerly waiting for your arrival in India
We will inform you soon
You have been our guest in Kabul so far
The Message of Rana Sanga from Hindusta
And now the Afghan chieftains want us to launch an attack on Delhi
You shouldn't even suspect the Afghans
We have always left a gap in our poems
We were delayed and the Afghan chieftains had already seized our camp
But India is a very hot country
Still for a few words India is a place of meaning
Tariq Beg if we decide to attack India
Pasha I left the dervish for your sake
It is with Kabul but this hope was certainly there
That we will regain Samarkand once again
My heart is still the same
My turn too but forget about Samarkand
Now our future is towards the east
Tardhi Beg this time went to Hindustan
They will return only after securing the entire Hind
According to Sikh scriptures Guru Nanak Dev Ji said
The moral decline of Babar led to his invasion of India
As I come the voice of the veil
They were made by Taila
They have done it the Valalo
The sin of
the sinner is a burden to bear
As I come the fence of the garme
The sun rises in
the east The moon is the ruler of the night
Kaje Abamana's neck is swolle
The devil fell into the well
As I come the gate of the fortress
Muslims after their departure
What can I do for the Lord
This is a traditional
game of the Bhil people
The village of Khun is where Nanak was born
The place where Rattan's son was found
As I come the gate of the fortress
The time of the payment was recorded
Yes is that the cowshed
The garden of Guru Nanak is here
After the attack on Babar in Lahore
Yes sir I am here
Why are you becoming Babar
That they are constantly tormenting the hear
You will be amazed by Agra
Yes sir I can't promise you again
Babur did not capture it
They fought each other until the Lodhis and Babur
Jetha Dilli and Agra are both cities
Babur's rule was in effec
Why did you take the mango from the tree
Come on you too let go of the fear in the air
Abar Dileena is not in the Agra Fort
They are in the grip of these terrible times
That I sit quietly
And Lodhina watched the game
They have their own thoughts
Water in the fields is scarce
Water Paper Field okay
Congratulations Emperor now Humayun has also become wise
And where is Rana why hasn't he gone to Agra yet
Jahndi watches the road to the end of the Gidr battle
You'll find it amusing that's for sure
But our people are silent and frightened
The poor ones are out of their homes for two or three men
Where the youth do not understand them
And now the discussion is abou
The army of Lodi has brave and fearless warriors
Before the light of the sun rose yesterday
We will strike against those two Mughals
Insha'Allah the victory we have achieved
Then we will give you all the garlands
And God is exalted if we should fail
Stay happy with what you have been given so far
Come let's raise the scale of hopes for success
New Victory
Sultan Ibrahim Lodi's army
Siya is a cloud watcher
She kept moving straight towards us until the first round
When she saw our army's spear she did not look away
They could not stand before us anymore
Our flank unit pushed the enemy back from the rear
And he shot arrows upward
The master Ali Kuli fought fiercely with cannonballs in the battle
Our soldiers broke through on the enemy's right and left flanks
That the enemy could neither fight nor find a way to advance
The truth is that on April 1526 Ibrahim Lodi divided his army into three parts
Ibrahim's main objective was to kill the Mughal army with a direct strike to the right left and straight ahead
Babur's army had gunpowder weapons the first time foreign invaders used these weapons in India
Don't say anything inside Mahmoud I won't go back
Your Highness we can still defeat Bawar later
The people of Dalai are not all eating rice and lentils
If you are scared of the mother's anger then go and leave the field
How many of our rich martyrs will there be
We drank the jam together yesterday
This will be the case that I will just hand over this to them as dust
Come follow me
It is only through God's blessings that this battle has become easy for us
The provider of food Babar threw another trick
They were devoted Afghan emirs
You have also started giving more respect to the people
So that those people may remain faithful to them
This is now clear and correct
They were a group of people who had loaded the boat
But he took the Java name
The provider of food Babar should have celebrated the festival in the city
You stood by me all the way to Agra
This is all just a charade Auntie
One who is more is a fool
Whatever happened happened
They don't worry about them
But remember that
Mewari is Delhi
They are not the Babri Mosque
Raja Ji I too will give you the same advice
Then he took the Afghan Amir Umar Khan as a prisoner
This is the intention that
Delhi's horse is your favorite
Inna strongly opposes Babar
They are also willing to support you
It's no longer necessary to overthink or overanalyze
Babar is preparing for the upcoming attack
The donor's fire is burning brightly
He shot an arrow so deep that it pierced through
Babur could not match the Rajputs even with these weapons
I want to go back to Kabul
It's very hot here
My wound can no longer close
You never said that we would have to stay here for such a long time
We are preparing to fight against Ranasanga at this time
Do you want to use it No
We need all military forces right now
If you keep saying such things
What will happen to our remaining soldiers
We promise
We were successful against Ranasaga
Then I can take you back to Kabul with your men
Tell your men to keep fighting
Do you all not feel this at all
That we are from our city and homeland
They are months apart
If we lose where will we go
We are surrounded by foreigners here
Now understand it well
We have only two paths ahead of us
If we succeed it is Allah who will grant us success
And even if they lose they will become martyrs in the name of Allah
We are protected on both sides
We swear that from today alcohol is forbidden for us
Babur also used the same strategy in the Battle of Kanauj
Different Rajput generals
Advance to confront Babar
When the wounded soldiers were being taken to the rear
Then Babur ordered his army to launch a sudden attack
The Rajputs were surrounded by this attack
Your Majesty please go out
The enemies are advancing forward
Huckam go to your mother you should leave
This could not be done by Rutan Singh
Enemies of living beings have shown their back just leaving the strength
Takyaaro
Bring the palanquin to a quiet place
Do it yourself
Sit down on the royal elephant and continue
Yes nothing is broken yet
But make haste place the royal elephant on the horse
Then after some time I could still sit on the throne
Now there is no time for your arguments
I cannot break your open heart
I am ready to fight for anyone's honor
This is your will
Uncle you take care of the affairs Sir
You alone are seated on the elephant
Uncle don't wait any longer
After Rane's time the Senari Bagh race
You have to understand me a little a little
Uncle Ji don't wait any longer
The battle is over His battle has ended
Whatever you say my dear India may you live a hundred years
He lost the battle
Ajyaaji Veersing Udaising all are brave
All people have received bravery
When the king gave the order he went to Chittorgarh
The Mughal sepoys are retreating
No Senik Not Chitodari and not
I swear that I will destroy Babur without mercy
I won't go to Chittorgarh
Collect all the soldiers
Thanks I didn't lose this time but the senior
I did not lose I won
Raise the banner I am not defeated
Rana Sanga never returned to Chittorgarh
Some people say that the wounds took his life
Some say the army heroes poisoned him to death
Because he wanted to fight Babar against their will
Whatever the case the last major campaign against Babur on March 13 1527 ended in failure
Goodbye son take care of your brothers
Always consult your stars
Yes the teacher
I also want to be free my lord
Stay happy
May you attain spiritual discipline in the path of the Sufis
Why don't you come along with us too
Not yet but I will
Our real journey will begin tomorrow
Take this lion with you
Go to the bridge of the Kulshan yourself
The air is still in Chanit
Ash got what he wanted
His fate we too have been ashamed until now
Babar is a series of troubles
Babar ruled India for four years
Here are the battles that pass by
And Babur remained an outsider in India
There is a popular tale about his death
His son Humayun was sick
And Babar loved her so much
That he prayed to God that instead of his so
They'll take her life
Oh God if you can give one life and take another
Then I give my life to my son Humayun
They say that a few days after this incide
Humayun got up from the bed
And Babar died clutching the bed
Babar was buried in Kabal
In the same garden that he wanted so muc
The current record of the sky is being held
Which deity should we worship with offerings
On the strength of what I am I am the sky
The earth is green and full of life
Heaven and the sun are also still
Which deity should we worship by offering oblations
Give birth to your inner fire while pregnant
The water was flowing in and out of the belly
The world a single breath of the gods
Which deity should we worship by offering oblations
He who creates the divine melody the architect of heaven the ancestor protector
The True Religion Keeper Water Regulator Protectio
The first is the direction of the arm which is above all else
Worship such deities by offering oblations
