Options:

Battle of Panipat

Battle of Haldighati

Battle of Khanwa

Battle of Buxar

Correct Answer:

Battle of Haldighati

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Battle of Haldighati

Akbar defeated Rana Pratap in the Battle of Haldighati in 1576.
The battle was fought on June 18, 1576, between the Mughal forces led by Man Singh I of Amber and the Mewar forces led by Maharana Pratap.

The Mughal forces were larger and better equipped than the Mewar forces, but the Mewar forces fought bravely and inflicted heavy casualties on the Mughals. However, the Mughals eventually prevailed, and Rana Pratap was forced to retreat.

The Battle of Haldighati was a major defeat for Rana Pratap, but it did not break his spirit. He continued to fight against the Mughals for many years, and he became a symbol of Rajput resistance to Mughal rule.

The Battle of Haldighati is one of the most famous battles in Indian history. It is also one of the most controversial, with historians still debating the exact course of events and the reasons for the Mughal victory.
