Battle edit

Battle of Mangrol was a military conflict between Madho Singh and Malharrao Holkar.[1]

Madho Singh attacked Malharrao Holkar with his 10,000 troops both troops clashed at Mangrol and a fierce battle took place but rajputs were ultimately defeated by maratha general Malharrao with his 6000 troops (3000 man from Indore and 3000 provided by Zalim Singh).[1][2]

As mentioned by Jadunath Sarkar Rajput army fought bravely but as the maratha army began to defeat them more than 400 rajput man fled from the battle.[2]

The further dispute was sought by Madho Singh by paying tribute to Marathas.[1][2] Thus Jaipur becoming a tributary to them until 1770[2]
