Mewar–Malwa conflicts

The Mewar–Malwa conflicts were a series of wars between the Kingdom of Mewar and the Sultanate of Malwa. The conflict erupted due to mutual territorial expansion triggered by both sides on each other. The war was fought in the modern-day regions of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The Rana branch of the Guhilas, following their successful recovery of the Rajput stronghold of Chittorgarh and the entire region of Mewar alongside Rajputana after the Battle of Singoli, embarked on an ambitious expansion at the cost of their neighbouring kingdoms. On the other side, with the invasion of Timur, the Delhi Sultanate grew weak and many of its provinces gained independence which included Malwa, adjacent to Mewar.

The conflict started in the reign of Rana Kshetra and Dilawar Khan Ghori at Bakrole. Further carried out by Rana Kumbha with Sultan Mahmud Khalji in the Battle of Sarangpur, Siege of Gagron, and battles of Mandalgarh and Banas. The next rulers of Mewar and Malwa Rana Raimal and Ghiyas-ud-Din Shah fought the battle of Mandalgarh. The last battle drawn between these states was under the Reign of Rana Sanga and Shihab-ud-Din Mahmud Shah II named as the Battle of Gagron and Siege of Mandsuar.
