Note
The battle of Chanderi happened on 20 January 1528. The main reason for the battle was that Babur offered Shamsabad to Medini Rao in exchange of Chanderi, but the offer was rejected by Rai. And the battle was over within a day because they were able to enter the fort and Mendini organized ‘jauhar’ for women, children and soldiers as they were not able to escape.
