There are several tales and folklores of thousands of rulers that had been ruling in India. Most of them were really brave and were skilled with so many amazing qualities.
One such king was the Rana Hammir, and he was one of the most prominent rulers of the state of Rajasthan. He ruled Mewar for a time span of about thirty-eight years.
The predecessor of this ruler was Ari Singh, and his successor was Kshetra Singh. Hammir Singh gained control and re-established the entire dynasty and was actually the very first ruler that used the title of “Rana”. After becoming the progenitor of Clan of the Sisodia, he made sure that all succeeding kings or Maharana’s belonged to this clan of Mewar.
Belonging to the Guhilot Dynasty, he was a generous ruler. When the Delhi Sultanate tried invading, the Guhilot Dynasty was ruthlessly removed from the Mewar.
But this ruler did not left things like this and made sure to actually regain the control over the invaded place. Hammir Singh belonged to cadet branch in this clan, and he became profounder for the Sisodian Clan as that was the branch of his own clan.
Hammir Singh was the only child of the couple that helped in ruling Chittor under the guidance of Rawal Ratan Singh. When they died while protecting the area of their ruler, Hammir was left alone with his uncle Ajay and since infancy, who took care of him.
Rana Hammir showed his first incident of bravery to his uncle when he managed to kill a very dangerous bandit named as Munja. Although he was too small, he killed her because she was causing a lot of problems and chaos in the areas that were close to where Rana was staying with his uncle.
Some say that after this incident of bravery happened, his uncle got so impressed and was so overjoyed that he bestowed many claims of the rulership on Hammir Singh.
As part of some alliance and compromise, a ruler planned to marry his widowed daughter to Hammir. And agreeing to this, Rana was able to establish Mewar state again after some real work that he did to maintain peace with the neighbor in the year 1326.
After this, the area where he ruled for about thirty-eight years came to be called as the Sisodia that was named after mountain village to which Hammir belonged. He died in the year 1378 after ruling Mewar and giving it lots of development in various fields.
