Kshetra, who ruled Mewar from A.D. 1364 to A.D. 1382, was the son and successor of the celebrated Rana Hammir. He greatly enlarged the kingdom. He captured [[Ajmer]] and [[Jahazpur]], re-annexed [[Mandalgarh]], [[Mandsore]] and the whole of [[Chappan]] to [[Mewar]]. He obtained a victory over the Sultan of Delhi,<ref>Tods annals and antiquities vol I pg 274</ref> who was utterly defeated at Bakrole. Kshetra Singh also took the Sultan of Gujarat prisoner in a battle. The [[Kumbalgarh]] inscription says that he captured Zafar Khan, Sultan of [[Patan, Gujarat|Patan]] (who later became the first independent Sultan of Gujarat). Kshetra Singh further increased his fame by defeating the Sultan of Malwa and killing his general Ami Shah.<ref>Har Bilas Sarda "Maharana Kumbha: sovereign, soldier, scholar" pg 4</ref> Kshetra Singh died in 1382 AD during a campaign against the Hada of Bundi.<ref>Lane Poole's Muhammadan Dynasties of India pg 376</ref> | |||
