Rana Sanga (Sangram Singh) fought the Battle of Khanwa (1527) against which ruler?

Explanation

The Battle of Khanwa was fought on 16 March 1527 between Rana Sanga of Mewar and Babur. The cited eGyanKosh unit places Rana Sanga among the Rajput chiefs who tried to check Babur's advance, and says the Indian forces could not match Babur's superior war technology at Khanua in 1527. It also notes that Babur later defeated Rana Sanga and his ally Hasan Khan Mewati, and that artillery played a significant role in Babur's success. This is why the option is Babur, not a later Mughal or Afghan ruler.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Humayun was Babur's son and successor, while the 1527 Khanwa fight was between Rana Sanga and Babur.
• (B) Ibrahim Lodi is mentioned as being in league with Rana Sanga against Babur's advance, not as Rana Sanga's opponent at Khanwa.
• (C) Sher Shah Suri belongs to the later phase in which he forced Humayun to flee, not to the 1527 Khanwa battle against Rana Sanga.

Concept

This tests early Mughal-Rajput relations, especially Mewar's resistance to Babur before Akbar's later policy of Rajput incorporation. RAS asks it often because one battle links Rajasthan history with the foundation phase of Mughal power.
