The '''Battle of [[Dewair]]''' (Dewar) was fought between [[Amar Singh I]] of Mewar and Mughal army under [[Muhammad Parviz|Parviz]] and Asaf Khan III. Shortly after his accession in 1606, [[Jahangir]] sent an army of 40,000 strong cavalry to attack Mewar. Parviz was only the figurative commander while in reality the ''[[de facto]]'' commander was Asaf Khan.<ref>{{Cite book|title=History of Jahangir|last=Prasad|first=Beni|pages=227}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=The Mughal Throne: The Saga of India's Great Emperors|last=Eraly|first=Abraham|pages=259}}</ref>Amar Singh personally killed the Mughal commander Sultan Khan and his horse by spear which went through both sultan khan and his horse, due to which he is known as '''Chakrveer''' (also called '''Chakraveer''').

== Aftermath ==
Ultimately, Amar Singh could not hold his territories for long. After the battle, Jahangir sent another army under [[Mahabat Khan]] in 1608, and the battle was a stalemate. In 1614, he sent [[Prince Khurram]] with an army against Mewar. The army was victorious in 1615 with Amar Singh surrendered to Prince Khurram and [[Karan Singh II]] (Amar Singh's son) signed a favourable treaty with Mughals accepting Mughal rule.<ref>{{cite book |last=Prasad |first=Beni |year=1930 |orig-year=First published 1922 |title=History of Jahangir |edition=Second |location=Allahabad |publisher=The Indian Press |page=239 |quote=Constant skirmishes were thinning the Rajput ranks ...

==Background==
'''Battle of Haldighati'''

Following the [[Battle of Haldighati]], Pratap lost half of his army and [[Mughals]] captured [[Kumbhalgarh]] , [[Gogunda]] , [[Udaipur]] & Chappan. In such conditions, Pratap changed his strategy from open to guerrilla warfare and did not allow [[Mughals]] to settle and retake his lost terrirtories. To suppress Pratap, [[Akbar]] himself arrived at [[Mewar]] in September, 1576 for hunting expeditions in forests during which he [[Siege of Udaipur (1576)|occupied Udaipur]] and it's southern region called 'Wagad' and established Mughal rule in these regions. Pratap alongside his family took shelter in dense hills that time and manage to hide till May,1577 when Akbar returned to [[Fatehpur Sikri]]. Only the [[Kumbhalgarh Fort|fortress of Kumbhalgarh]] was yet unconquered thus Akbar send his general Shahbaz Khan to do so in the next year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://persian.packhum.org/main?url=pf%3Ffile%3D00701020%26ct%3D0 }}</ref>

• 1577 : Shahbaz Khan

• 1578 : Shahbaz Khan second time

• 1579 : Again Shahbaz Khan ( Third time attacked Mewar )

• Each of these invasions were able to occupy cities like Udaipur, Chawand, Gogunda and Kumbhalagarh but were unsuccessful in capturing [[Maharana Pratap|Pratap]] as he was till that time became a master guerilla and each path of aravali hills was now in his mind this allowing him to hide from mughal troops each and every time till the Mughal's departure from mewar.{{cn}} When Pratap was facing shortage of funds, his minister [[Bhamashah]], whose family held the office for ages, placed at Pratap's disposal their accumulated wealth, which with other resources, is stated to have been equivalent to maintenance of army for 12 years.{{cn|}} Thus name of [[Bhamashah]] got preserved as saviour of [[Mewar]]. With such help from [[Bhamashah]], Pratap was able to arrange his new army and planned a major attack on Dewair Fortress defended by a garrison of less than a thousand men.{{cn}}
