Shakti Singh (16th century Indian noble)

Shakti Singh Sisodia, also referred to as Shakta, Sakta or Sakat, was the son of Maharana Udai Singh II Sisodia and Sajja Bai Solankini.[1]

At some point during Udai Singh's lifetime, due to hostile relations with his father, he joined the Mughal Emperor Akbar and was later given the title of Mir (lord). In 1567, he ran away from Dhaulpur while Akbar was encamped there to inform his father about Akbar's plan to capture Chittor, which angered Akbar.[2][3] At the Battle of Haldighati, he returned to his brother's side.[4] His descendants are known as the Shaktawats.
