Answer:
The ruler of Mewar Rana Sanga, Maharana Pratap, queen of Gondwana Rani Durgawati, Maratha ruler Shivaji and Sikh Guru Gobind Singh were the prominent Indian kings who resisted the Mughal power in India. These Indian rulers neither befriended nor surrendered but gave a tough challenge to the Mughals with bravery.

Rana Sanga: Rana Sanga gave stiff resistance to Babur in the plains of Khanva. Unfortunately, Rana Sanga was defeated but till he was alive he did not accept defeat. After the death of Rana Sanga in 1528 A.D. Mughal power was resisted by his son Udai Singh.

Maharana Pratap: After Udai Singh’s death in 1572 A.D. his son Rana Pratap became the ruler of Mewar. Maharana Pratap gave a tough challenge to Akbar till he lived. Rana Pratap started organizing Mewar to give the Mughals a fight. He organized feudal lords and Bheels. Through public relations he created awareness against the Mughal power. These efforts brought unity and the entire Mewar rose against the Mughal power.

Rana Pratap refused to accept the sovereignty, friendship or offer of entering into a matrimonial alliance with Akbar. Akbar made several attempts to convince Rana Pratap but was not successful. Rana Pratap had to lose a part of his Empire but he did not accept defeat. He carried on war against the mughals and managed to win back many of the lost areas of his state. He fought with bravery and courage till his death.

Rani Durgawati: Rani Durgawati ofMahoba was one of the most valient warrior’s of medieval Indian history. She faced the mughal emperor Akbar’s greed for expansion of the Empire with bravery, courage and patience. After the death of her husband

Dalpatshah, Durgawati had to shoulder the responsibility of the state as guardian to her minor son Veernarayan. When Akbar heard about the economic prosperity of Garha state, he sent his commander Asaf Khan with a big army to attack Garha state for extending his empire.

Rani Durgawati decided to fight rather than surrender. She fought bravely against the mughal forces but in the end she was wounded seriously. In the wounded state brave Durgawati was unable to continue the war but she did not want Akbar’s soldiers to imprison and humiliate her. Therefore she killed herself with a sword and her son Veernarayan died while fighting.

Chhatrapati Shivaji: The strongest opposition to the mughal empire was given by the marathas under the leadership of Shivaji. In the rise of Shivaji and the Maratha, the mughals lust for increasing their empire, anti hindu policy and religious orthodox policy were the important factors.

Shivaji crowned himself in 1674 and became Chhatrapati. He played an important role in routing out mughal power from Southern India. He never bowed his head against the Mughal King Aurangzeb. He was an orthodox Hindu but still, he also respected the Muslims.

Guru Gobind Singh: To check the rising power of Sikhs, Mughal administration in 1675 A.D. ordered Guru Tegbahadur to be hanged which made the Sikh community very angry with Aurangzeb. Guru Gobind Singh the tenth Guru organized the Sikhs into a military organization to fight against the Mughal armies.

Guru Gobind Singh established an organization called Khalsa in 1699 A.D. Khalsa was a casteless organization in which there was a provision to include everyone without caste discrimination. He started the practise of prefixing the word ‘Singh’ among Sikhs. The Sikh community put many challenges before the Mughal empire.
