RANA SANGA ' XATHA

Rana Sanga, the ruler of Mewar, had his eyes set on the throne of
Delhí. However, the rising Mughal star Babur got rid of the Lodhí
Sultan of Delhi. Thus the stage was set for the confrontatíon between Vol 630 I ?50 •
the formidable Rana and an equally determined Babur who had just
found a new home for his men - Hindustan.
