Akbar and Rana Sanga

Akbar and Afgans

Correct Answer:

Babur and Rana Sanga

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Babur and Rana Sanga

The Battle of Khanwa was fought between Babur and Rana Sanga in 1527.

Rana Sanga was the ruler of the Mewar kingdom in Rajasthan. He was a powerful and ambitious ruler, and he had united many of the Rajput kingdoms under his banner. Babur was the Mughal emperor who had recently defeated Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat.

The Battle of Khanwa was a decisive victory for Babur. He used his superior military tactics and artillery to defeat Rana Sanga's much larger army. Babur's victory at Khanwa secured his position as the ruler of North India, and it also helped to pave the way for the establishment of the Mughal Empire in India.

The other options you mentioned are incorrect:

  • Babur fought Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526.
  • Akbar fought Rana Sanga's grandson, Rana Pratap, at the Battle of Haldighati in 1576.
  • Akbar fought the Afghans at the Third Battle of Panipat in 1761.
