Munshi
Murari Lal's account is an attempt to examine in detail the circumstances which
culminated in the great conflict between Rana Sanga of Mewar and Babar, the
King of Kabul. He discusses at length the political conditions in the Lodi
Sultanate which led some of the important Afghan nobles to invite Babar to
invade Hindustan to depose the Lodi Sultan Ibrahim. Mewar at that time being
the greatest power to the west of Delhi and Agra was likely to be seriously
affected if the Kabuli invader, after deposing Ibrahim Lodi, did not return to
his own small Kingdom but decided to settle down in Hindustan and found his own
dynasty. It was therefore necessary, so felt the Maharana, to ascertain the
truth of the involvement of some Afghan nobles in inviting Babar to invade
Hindustan and to know, as far as possible, his real intentions and future plans
in case he succeeded in deposing Sultan Ibrahim. That was the sole purpose of
sending Murari Lal to Kabul. After  Babar's
surprise victory over the Lodi Sultan at Panipat on 20th April 1526, a consequential
and decisive clash between him and Rana Sanga became inevitable. Munshi Murari
Lal's account of his mission to Kabul, his meeting with Babar, and latter's
proposal for a joint operation against the Lodi Sultan and its inconclusive
nature, the attitude of the Afghans towards Babar before the battle of Panipat
and subsequent to it and emergence of Rana Sanga as their only hope makes
Murari Lal's account very informative and absorbing. His account of the last
days of the Maharana and his attempt to strike a final blow at the invader to
avenge the defeat inflicted by him evokes spontaneous admiration for his
indomitable courage and spirit. Â
