The glorious Hindu ruler- Maharana Pratap had a daughter named Champa. Maharana Pratap was wandering in the caves and forests of the Aravalli hills. When even the stock of grasses and wild plants exhausted and all his children were hungry he decided to surrender to Akbar. He was about to write the letter affirming his subordination, when his eleven year old brave daughter said - "Father! If our demise is essential for safeguarding the pride of our nation and community, then we should go ahead. We should never surrender to Akbar." These were the last words of Champa who was starving for three days. Later on Maharana also lost his life in the battlefield but never surrendered. Blessed is this nation and praiseworthy are its valiant daughters!
