Mewar — The House of Eklingji
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. This page is a placeholder of the Resistance Chronicle; its sections will be filled under the founder's direction.
