[[File:Indopedia-logo.png|thumb|right|150px|The diwan of Eklingji — the deity owns the throne; the man only administers it.]]
'''Mewar''' holds the longest resistance arc in Indian history. Its tradition begins with '''Bappa Rawal''' at Chittor (c. 728) in the age of the Arab repulse, and runs unbroken through Khuman's defence, the three sakas of Chittor, Hammir's recovery, Kumbha's victories, Sanga's grand confederacy at Khanwa, and '''Pratap''', who would not sign. Its secret was constitutional as much as martial: from Bappa onward the Maharana ruled not as king but as '''diwan of Eklingji''' — surrender would have been theft from the god.
