By about 1525 CE, chiefs such as Medini Rai, Silhadi and Rudra Pradap ruled large areas in Central India. For instance, Purbiya lord Medini Rai rose through service to a Malwa Sultan, ultimately claiming Chanderi when the relationship soured. Many Eastern Rajputs served Rana Sanga, but Silhadi, the Purbiya lord of Raisen, withdrew support before the battle. Sher Shah marched off to Agra while the Rajputs remained encamped. The clerics advised Sher Shah to break the oath to an infidel and he raced back to surround Puranmal’s camp.
