			'''Shakti Singh Sisodia of Mewar''' known in the colloquial literature as Shakta/Sagta/Sagat, was the son of [[Udai Singh II\|Maharana Udai Singh II]] of [[Mewar]] and Maharani Sajja Bai [[Solanki (clan)\|Solanki]]. He was a [[Kshatriya]] [[Rajput]] and was younger brother of the legendary [[Maharana Pratap]].<ref>{{cite book \|last=Singh Rana \|first=Bhawan \|date=2014 \|title=Maharana Pratap \|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y6YlAwAAQBAJ \|location= \|publisher=Diamond Pocket Books \|page= \|isbn=9789350838693 \|author-link= }}</ref> He was also the eponymous founder of the [[Shaktawat]] clan of [[Sisodia dynasty\|Sisodia]] [[Rajput]]s.

			==Early life==
			He was the second son of [[Udai Singh II\|Maharana Udai Singh II]] of [[Mewar]] born from his second wife Sajja Bai Solanki (of Toda Rai Singh Solanki family). He was born just months later after his elder brother [[Maharana Pratap]]. His younger brother was Maharaj Veeramdev, progenitor of the Veeramdevot Baba Ranawat branch of Mewar Sisodias, younger son of the same Solankini Rani. He had hostile relations with his father. Some sources say he was expelled from Mewar by his father Maharana Udai Singh.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://rajputanavirasat.com/2022/05/28/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C-%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%B9-%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE-%E0%A4%87%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B9/#:~:text=%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C%20%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%B9%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AE%201540,%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87%20%E0%A4%9B%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%9F%E0%A5%87%20%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%88%20%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B5%20%E0%A4%A5%E0%A5%87%E0%A5%A4\|title= महाराज शक्तिसिंह का इतिहास\|date= 28 May 2022}}</ref>

			==Meeting with Akbar==
			When [[Mughal dynasty\|Mughal]] Emperor [[Akbar]] was marching towards [[Chittor Fort\|Chittor]] to capture it, he invited Shakti Singh for meeting at [[Dholpur]], he accepted the proposal and they met on 31 August 1567 but when Akbar explained his plan to capture Chittaurgarh and offered him throne of Mewar against his own family in a hope that people of Mewar will not resist Akbar if Shakti Singh will be crowned. Shakti Singh left the meeting in anger without Akbar's permission and at midnight he ran away from Dholpur where he was encamped to inform his father about Akbar's plan to capture Chittor to save Chittor fort. This angered Akbar, resulting in immediate change of his plan to attack Malwa and he marched his army towards Chittaurgarh.<ref>[http://persian.packhum.org/persian/main?url=pf%3Ffile%3D00701022%26ct%3D118 Akbarnama by Abu'l Fazl]</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=Y6YlAwAAQBAJ Rana 2004, p. 38]</ref> Only because of Shakti Singh his father was able to make preparations for Mughal attack. However, Chittor was sacked in [[Siege of Chittorgarh (1567–1568)]]

			==Later life==
			His father died at [[Gogunda]] on 28 February 1572 and his elder brother [[Maharana Pratap]] was coronated as the Maharana of Mewar on 1 March 1572 by nobles of Mewar. Some sources say he was again expelled this time by his brother due to mistaken death of Raj Purohit Narayanandas by Shakti. He went into the service of [[Dungarpur state\|Dungarpur]] Rawal Askaran between 1572 and 1576, there he killed any noble named Jagmal due to his hot temper. He then went to Mughal service however there are no records of him fighting in any war for Mughals. In 1576 the [[Battle of Haldighati]], he returned to his brother [[Maharana Pratap]]'s side giving his own horse after the famous Chetak collapsed near [[Banas River]] to Maharana Pratap to retreat in the hills. He also killed Khurasan Khan and Multan Khan who were chasing Pratap. He also played a pivotal role in the [[Battle of Dewair (1582)\|Battle of Dewair]] in 1582 for the Mewar forces.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://rajputanavirasat.com/2022/05/28/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C-%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%B9-%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE-%E0%A4%87%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B9/#:~:text=%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C%20%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%B9%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AE%201540,%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87%20%E0%A4%9B%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%9F%E0%A5%87%20%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%88%20%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B5%20%E0%A4%A5%E0%A5%87%E0%A5%A4\|title= महाराज शक्तिसिंह का इतिहास\|date= 28 May 2022}}</ref>

			==After Pratap==
			Until his death in 1594, Shakti Singh lived in [[Bhainsrorgarh]], on the banks of [[Chambal River]]. Later during the reign of [[Amar Singh I\|Maharana Amar Singh]], Shakti Singh's 11 out of 17 sons were martyred fighting for Mewar against Mughal forces. Rawat Achal Das of [[Baansi]], was the leader of Mewar Forces during his times. [[Battle of Untala]] is a famous incident of self sacrifice of the Chundawats and Shaktawats during the tough times of Mewar.

			This couplet is very famous among Mewari people which praises Shakti -

			शक्ता थारी शक्ति नु हरि जाने ना कोई,

			शुरा थारी हुँकार सु महाकाल निकट ना आए <ref>{{cite book \|author=Bhaskar Majumder \|title=Rethinking Villages \|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uwS53sZZZDkC&pg=PA45 \|year=2011 \|publisher=Concept Publishing Company \|isbn=978-81-8069-764-7 \|pages=45 }}</ref>

			His descendants are known as the [[Shaktawat]]s.
