6. Battle of Chanderi
the Battle of Chanderi or Siege of Chanderi took place in
the aftermath of the Battle of Khanwa in which the Mughal
Emperor Babur had defeated the Rajput Confederacy and
firmly establish Mughal rule while crushing regrowing
Rajput powers as the battle was fought for supremacy of
Northern India between Rajputs and Mughals.[3] On
receiving news that Rana Sanga had renewed war
preparations to renew the conflict with him, Babur decided
to isolate the Rana by inflicting a military defeat on one of
his vassals Medini Rai who was the ruler of Malwa.[4][5]
Consequently, in December 1527, taking a circumlocutious
route Babur marched to the fortress of Chanderi in Malwa
which was the capital of the kingdom of Malwa.[6] Upon
reaching Chanderi, on 20 January 1528, Babur offered
Shamsabad to Medini Rao in exchange for Chanderi as a
7. The outer fortress of Chanderi was taken by Babur's army at night,
and the next morning the upper fort was captured. Babur expressed
surprise that the upper fort had fallen within an hour of the final
assault.[4]
Medini Rai organized the Jauhar ceremony during which Rajput
women and children committed self-immolation to save their honour
from the Mughals.[7] A small number of soldiers also collected in
Medini Rao's house and proceeded to slay each other in collective
suicide. This sacrifice does not seem to have impressed Babur who
does not express a word of admiration for the enemy in his
autobiography.[4] Rather, as he had done after Khanwa, he ordered
a tower of skulls—a practice formulated by Timur against
opponent—to be erected in an act of barbarism.[5] The practice of
constructing a tower of skulls was to record a monumental victory
and also to terrorize opponents, according to Chandra. Babur had
earlier used the same tactic against the Afghans of Bajaur.[5]
