Rana Kshetra Singh[1] (r. 1364–1382), was a Sisodia Rajput ruler of Mewar Kingdom. He was the eldest son of his father and predecessor Rana Hammir Singh, the progenitor of Sisodias. In his reign, he conquered the territories of Ajmer and Mandalgarh.
Kshetra, who ruled Mewar from 1364 to 1382, was the son and successor of the celebrated Rana Hammir. He greatly enlarged the kingdom. He captured Ajmer and Jahazpur, re-annexed Mandalgarh, Mandsaur and the whole of Chappan to Mewar. He obtained a victory over the Sultan of Delhi,[2] who was utterly defeated at Bakrole. The Kumbalgarh inscription says that in a battle he captured Zafar Khan, Sultan of Patan (who later became the first independent Sultan of Gujarat).[3]
Kshetra Singh further increased his fame by defeating the Sultan of Malwa and killing his general Amir Shah identified as Dilawar Khan.[4]
Kshetra Singh died in 1382 during a campaign against the Hada of Bundi.[5]
After his death, he was succeeded by Rana Lakha Singh (1382-1421).
