Power Struggle
In his youth Sanga had to rival with his elder brother Prithiraj. When a priestess announced that Sanga would rule Mewar, the furious Prithiraj drew his sword and a vicious fight ensued. Afterwards, Sanga fled on foot, one of his eyes destroyed forever. As a result, Prithiraj was banished from Chittor, and their younger brother Jaimall was then considered heir to the throne. Jaimall, however, was slain by the indignant father of the girl he had been courting. Later, Prithiraj was poisoned by his brother-in-law whom he had punished for maltreating his sister. This left Sanga to ascend their father's throne.

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or struggle:
““Come unto me,” [Krokowski] was saying, though not in those words, “come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy-laden”.... He spoke of secret suffering, of shame and sorrow, of the redeeming power of the analytic. He advocated the bringing of light into the unconscious mind.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“Parenting is a profoundly reciprocal process: we, the shapers of our children’s lives, are also being shaped. As we struggle to be parents, we are forced to encounter ourselves; and if we are willing to look at what is happening between us and our children, we may learn how we came to be who we are.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
