Q130260119




The Expedition of Kalinjar (1531) or Attack on Kalinjar (1531) led by Mughal Emperor Humayun was a crucial military campaign aimed at besieging the Kalinjar fort. At that time, the fort was under the rule of Rudra Pratap Singh Bundela of Bundelkhand, also known as Prataprudra Deo of Kalinjar. Humayun managed to bring the raja under Mughal suzerainty, transforming the fort into an advanced Mughal military base and strategic stronghold in northern India. This conquest significantly bolstered Mughal control over the region and expanded their territorial influence.
