The characteristic qualities of Maharana Pratap were as following
1. He had pledged never to wage an attack on one who didn’t possess arms. He always kept two swords-one sword was to be handed over to the enemy to fight against him.
2. The state symbol of Mewar represented social equality. Kshatriyas on one side, and Bhil warriors on the other, were symbols of the equality of all the groups. Maharana Pratap was loved by all and his people were always ready even to sacrifice their lives for him.
3. Maharana Pratap was a lover of freedom. Even after various difficulties, he did not accept the sovereignty of Akbar at any cost.
4. He was a guardian of religion and always respected the state symbol.
