The Mewar–Delhi conflicts were prolonged confrontations and periodic military engagements between the Kingdom of Mewar ruled by the Sisodiyas and the Delhi Sultanate. The conflict erupted when the Sisodiya dynasty took the region of Mewar from Delhi Sultanate's rule. The struggle which lasted nearly two centuries was fought in what is today the Indian states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
The conflict started in the reign of Rana Hammir against the Tuqhlaq dynasty at the Battle of Singoli. This conflict was further carried out by Rana Kshetra and his successor Rana Lakha with the Sayyid dynasty in conquests for Bakrol and Badnor. An invasion by the latter was also successfully repelled at Raipur. The conflict took a short break when Rana Kumbha ascended the throne of Mewar as he was occupied throughout his life with the Islamic Sultanates of Malwa and Gujarat. The conflict resumed again with the Lodi dynasty when the latter tried to counter the growing hegemony of Mewar at the Battle of Khatoli and at Battle of Dholpur
