The Lok Sabha witnessed discussions about 16th century Rajput King Rana Sanga.
- Maharana Sangram Singh (1484–1527), popularly known as Rana Sanga, was the Rajput ruler of Mewar and a successor of the Sisodia clan.
- Ruling from 1508 to 1528, he expanded his kingdom across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and parts of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
- Rana Sanga defeated Ibrahim Lodi in the Battle of Khatoli (1517) and Battle of Dholpur (1518), and Sultan Mahmud Khilji II in the Battle of Gagron (1519), establishing Rajput dominance in North India.
- However, his ambitions suffered a major blow at the Battle of Khanwa (1527) against Babur, where Mughal artillery and internal betrayals led to his defeat. His legacy endures as a symbol of Rajput bravery.
