  86. ↑ It was Jhala Manna, not Rana Pratap, who was now surrounded by Man Singh and his men. 'Surrender!' shouted a Mughal soldier. 'Tell us where Pratap is and we will let you and your men live. The reply was another peal of laughter from Jhala Manna, who then he led his men in one final assault on the Mughals. Death was certain, but Manna didn't seem to care. He slew several more enemies before finally being cut down himself, signalling the end of the battle of Haldighati. Man Singh had won. But, thanks to Jhala Manna, Rana Pratap had lived to fight another day. While Man Singh is credited with having won the battle of Haldighati, there are many who believe that the true victor that day was Jhala Manna. By sacrificing his life, he ensured the survival of one the most famous Rajput kings in Indian history., Nimish Dubey (1 October 2018). Indian Tales of Valour. Ponytale Books.
