Hindu Emperor and ‘Rising Sun.'
The Sikarwar Bard, Vidhayadhar informs us that after Maharana Sanga became the King, the might of Chitor increased. It was that period of Indian history when Sanga desired to unite Bharat Varsh. No wonder most rulers of the period showed enough confidence in him.

Dhaulpur Jat State.
Raja Rattan Singh the concurrent Jat Ruler of Dhaulpur informs us that his state was a ‘Hindu state’. But the rulers of Delhi were jealous of its prosperity. He addresses Maharana Sanga as ‘Garib Nawaj’, the ‘King of Kings’ and the ‘Rising Sun of Hindus. That confirms Sanga to be the ‘Emperor’ of the period. As a Rising Sun of Hindus, he was duty bound to protect Hindu faith.

DEFENSE WAS A CENTRAL SUBJECT
Its would be apparent that Maharana Sanga had about 29 Forts and 414 Havelis (Palaces) and 34774 villages to defend. These were located in following areas :-
1. Complete Mewar.
2. Central Rajasthan- District of Ajmer, Sambhar, Narana, Kota and Haroti.
3. Jhalawar -Gangron, Rampur Ka Bareli.
4. Western Rajasthan- From Nagaur to Jaisalmer.
5. Gujarat -Extended from Idar to Kuch and Bhuj.
6. Madhaya Pradesh- It included Narsing Garh Jagir, Sagar, Gwalior and Narwar.
7. Morena- It included Jorogarh and the Sikarwari of Pahargarh.
8. Eastern Rajasthan- It included Bharatpur, Dhaulpur, Bari and Sikri near Agra .

7. Morena- It included Jorogarh and the Sikarwari of Pahargarh.
8. Eastern Rajasthan- It included Bharatpur, Dhaulpur, Bari and Sikri near Agra .
The political system that existed during the period required most forts and palace to be held by various clans and its rulers. Each had a limited army in order to either police it or defend it in emergency . These forts were organised for defence in emergencies. The imperial army intervened whenever a major threat developed.
This stands confirmed from the fact, that when Babur threatened Sikri, Sanga rushed for its help. He took off from Chitor to fight Babur at Khanua (near Sikri). The Battlefield of Khanua lies between Sikri Fort and Kanhua village. Thus Sanga's regime was like the Central Government of present era. Except around Agra the borders between the Rajputs & Mohammedans ran along River Yamuna. Between Agra & Sikri it seems to have been aligned along Khari Nadi that flows in between.

DHAULPUR STATE
‘The Chitor Udaipur Ka Patnama’ brings out that Raja Rattan Singh, the Jat ruler of Dhaulpur, had beaten back a 'Night Raid' on Sanga. He had captured Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Lodis who had led the raid. Appreciating the action, Sanga honored Raja Rattan Singh with a Sword, and a Necklace of Pearls. He also annotated him with 'Tilak' and bestowed the 'Title of RANA' upon him. The Rulers of Dhaulpur still pride themselves with the title of RANA .
