|
Answer» The reasons of defeat of Maharana Sanga in the battle of Khanwa were as following: 1. The major reason for defeat of Sanga was not entering into war immediately after the victory on Bayana and giving enough time to Babur for war preparations. 2. The Rajput soldiers were fighting with traditional weapons. They could not face the shells blowing out of Babur’s cannons with their bows and arrows, spears and swords.’ 3. Sanga made another big mistake by sitting on an elephant because due to this, the enemy got opportunity to injure him by exactly pointing towards him. As he went away injured from the battlefield, the morale of his army declined. 4. There was lack of unity and coordination in the Rajput army because the entire army was collected under the leadership of different chieftains. 5. Due to its momentum, the horse army of Babur dominated the elephant army of the Rajputs. As the elephants were terrified due to the blow of shells from Babur’s cannons, they caused great loss by crushing their own armymen. |
