Battle was won by maharana pratap as the land right were in the hand of Maharana one year after the battle !! At that time only king has the land rights in their hand!! It means Rana was the winner!!
The information which is being spread by Wikipedia about Maharana Pratap is false the Wikipedia says that mugal Empire Won the fight. But the truth is Maharana Pratap actually won the fight because Mogul army was not able to capture Pratap. 110.225.69.78 (talk) 17:16, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@110.225.69.78: You must understand how is the victory of a battle determined. Almost all the Major generals from the side of the Rana were killed in the battle, its soldiers deserted the battle ground and the Rana himself was injured and had to flee the ground. This simply means that there were more damages inflicted on the Rana than on the Mughals which lost a smaller portion of their army as well. You are simply professing Urban Ledgends which has no backing in the Historical Method. @Kansas Bear: can correct me if I'm wrong here? I suggest addition of the exact losses of territories and a mention of the retreat in the result section in the infobox would be helpful to prevent this situation in future.

Extorc actually problem lies more with politics, there have been serious attempt to showcase how Mughals were defeated in Battle of Haldighati by Pratap even in academia and school books by some political figures to present their right wing narrative. The solution you are proposing is not what these people seem to care. Sajaypal007 (talk) 14:13, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ram Vallabh Somani's case on indecisive result of battle.[edit]
Ram Vallabh Somani, in his book History of Mewar, from Earliest Times to 1751 A.D., p230-231 states
"Both the Rajputs and the Mughals claimed to have emerged victorious in this battle."
"... Afunta-Khab-ut Tawarikh categorically affirms that the Mughal army after this battle did not rejoice this “avowed victory.”"
"They were badly stricken by a panic of sudden invasion by the Rajputs"
"no officer was rewarded by the Emperor on the so called victory." "Mansingh and Asaf Khan were called back to the court and for a few days they were forbidden from appearance’?"
"These accounts prove that the claim of the Mughals does not carry sufficient weight."
"By analysing the facts we may say that no party succeeded in achieving ‘complete victory”"
"Mansingh’s campaign failed in its primary object viz., subjugation of Mewar and killing or capturing of the Maharana."
I have never come across a pre-modern Rajput source that claimed Rana Pratap to have won the war. Somani do not cite any source, either. Or is he saying that the current generation of Rajputs claimed ...?
Somani cites Lowe (1884; p. 239) but I cannot see any categorical rejection of post-war celebration.
The panic was not of an invasion but guerilla attacks. Terminologies matter.
How did Somani (p. 231; footnote 56A) infer from Lowe (1884; p. 239) that people involved in the Battle of Haldighati "fell from confidence", and were "dismissed without punishment"?
Why did you, Extorc, not add the reason behind the treatment met out to Khan and Mansingh? Even Somani is disingenuous in his choice of words; their moral refusal to plunder a conquered territory incurred Akbar's wrath.
These accounts prove nothing and has, indeed, proved nothing for the many more competent historians who have published in peer-reviewed press, concluding the battle to be a victory. I do agree that this was not a "complete victory"; Akbar failed to go as far as he wished, that is, humiliate Rana Pratap to death. And this failure would come back to bite him and give rise to a glorious tale of rebellion against Mughal centralization of power. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:10, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The overall campaign can be said as failure for Mughals, they did not achieve their objectives like capturing Pratap or even forcing upon him some treaty, the condition of Mughal army worsened in Gogunda as Maharana cut off their communication and supply lines, mughal army was virtually under siege and was harassed with guerilla attacks by Mewar army. And as soon as Man Singh returned, Pratap re-captured the whole territory. The result can also be seen as censure of the commanders by Akbar. But all this is part of the whole campaign which was utter failure but the battle of Haldighati itself was not a loss for mughals, at the end of the day the field remained with Man Singh and so the mughals were technically victorious in the battle atleast.

Maharana Pratap won the battel of Haldighati because after Haldighati in 1576, Maharana Pratap distributed land in villages near Haldighati by handing out land rights inscribed on copper plates that has the signature of the Diwan of Eklingnath. 2409:4043:2301:826C:F54D:40EF:930C:F1E0 (talk) 10:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The information given here has been proven wrong by the Indian government. It was found that the history was manipulated and the books used in Indian schools also show wrong information.
Now the government has taken action and has taken action to change the manipulated history information with the right one.
Please change it or more people will be affected with this wrong information.

it was victory of rajput because mughals ran away empty handed ,thats why Akbar cant annex mewar KUNWAR PUSHKAL SINGH (talk) 08:15, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Chandra Shekhar Sharma, an associate professor at Meera Girls College in Udaipur noted, “In the light of recent research and evidence, historians have come to the conclusion that Pratap’s army never retreated from the Battle of Haldighati. The war was won by Pratap.” 103.80.22.72 (talk) 10:45, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On 17 Feb 2024 When I visited this page the result described as rajput victory but now on 23 Feb 2024 it shows Mughal Victory. Mananshekhawat (talk) 05:47, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@R2dra, my talk page is not the place where to discuss about the additions. Your recent addition adding "80,000 deaths" "20,000 deaths" on Mughal casualties fails verification. The book you cited, Rima Hooja's "Maharana Pratap, the inevitable warrior" cites about the casualties as the same as what we seen in the current version of the article. Moreover, the book is more likely praising the Pratap, as seen in the cover and it's title. Imperial[AFCND]09:22, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@R2dra, may I know the reason why you put that "20,000 deaths" on Mughal side whereas the author doesn't specify the side on the book? This is WP:OR, and I've added the attributes for each account now. Please stop POV pushing as you have done here and here. Please do not pull numbers from nowhere without sources and put it in the way you like. Seems like a lot of warnings have got already. Imperial[AFCND]10:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Historians like M N Mathur, Ram Nath, A N Bhattacharya, Rima Hooja completely believe that battle of Haldighati was indecisive. Even Rajasthan institute of historical research organisation's researches say the same R2dra (talk) 14:21, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The rakt talai inscriptions, displayed in Haldighati tell that Mughal forces had to step back as they had lost many soldiers and they couldn't capture Maharana Pratap R2dra (talk) 16:06, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are using WP:RS to cite wikipedia articles. All of them, except the Rajasthani modern chronicles, states this as the Mughal victory. And I have posted some news articles related to that change. Just because a community protested, I don't believe the outcome of a battle, where it have been almost 500 years, should be changed to please them. If everyone does the same, then what is the point of something called "History"? I have initiated an RFC down there. Let's see what others got to say about this.

if you wish I can add even more trusted book sources, if Akbar had won Haldighati then why did he sent shahabaz Khan multiple times to attack on Haldighati (1577-1580) after the battle of Haldighati 1576 R2dra (talk) 16:12, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Gnome, hello. I found out that this discussion have been carried out several times. So it is unnecessary to create another discussion. How to close/remove the RFC? It was my only mistake that I didn't research before starting the thread. Imperial[AFCND]05:17, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Its wrong information that rana pratap was loose in Haldighati. Actually rana pratap singh was won the battle of haldighati. Its signify with new evidence of this war.[edit]
