After Maharana Kumbha, Maharana Sangram Singh who became famous with the name Rana sanga was the most important ruler. He extended kingdom of Mewar and organized all kings of Rajputana under his reign. After the death of Raimal in 1509 he became the king of Mewar. He organized his power by joining hands with Rajputs leaders. He struggled with Mahmud Begda of neighbouring state of Gujarat. To achieve Kumbha’s gloiy, continued struggle with Muslim powers.
He had a struggle with king of Gujarat in 1520 and achieved victory. He defeated Sultan Mahmud Khilji released him after promising of good behaviour. He joined parts of Delhi Sultanate in his kingdom which were near the territory of Mewar. Khatoli war was held between Sanga and Sultan of Delhi Ibrahim Lodhi in 1517. In this, Lodhi was defeated. He was also defeated in the battle of Badi (Dholpur). In local literature it is illustrated that many times Maharaja Sanga defeated the sultans of Mandu, Gujarat and Delhi.
Babar occupied Delhi by defeating Ibrahim Lodhi in the first battle of Panipat. He had real challenge from Sanga as he was the only ruler at that time who had capability to occupy Delhi. At this time Mewar became the centre of war. All neighbouring states recognized Sanga’s power.
Battle of Khanwa was fought between Sanga and Babar. During this war, Sanga was injured by an arrow. He was taken away from the battlefield and, therefore, Babur won the battle. After this, Babur became the emperor of India and the Mughal empire was established permanently. The unity among Rajputs and their gloiy came to an end after Maharana Sanga. Rana Sanga was the bravest and strongest ruler, but he could not understand the cunningness and war skills of his enemy. He could not adopt the new techniques of war, and due to this his enemy took the advantage and he died.
