Khanwa

Khanwa (also spelt Khanua) is the name of a village lying about 60 km west of the city of Agra in India. It was the scene of a famous battle in the history of north India, and a few miles from Fatehpur Sikri.

History

The Battle of Khanua was fought on March 16, (1527), between Babur, founder of the Mughal empire in India on the one hand and a combined Rajput army led by Rana Sanga, ruler of Mewar, on the other. It was the second of the series of three major battles, victories in which gave Babur overlordship over north India. The First Battle of Panipat was the first of the series, the Battle of Ghaghra was the last.

    Need Your Loving Tonight

    by: Queen

    (Album: The Game, 1980)
    "Yeah
    Hey hey hey
    No I'll never look back in anger
    No I'll never find me an answer
    You promised me, you'd keep in touch
    I read your letter and it hurt me so much
    I said I'd never, never be angry with you
    I don't wanna feel like a stranger (no)
    'Cos I'd rather stay out of danger
    I read your letter so many times
    I got your meaning between the lines
    I said I'd never, never be angry with you
    I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
    I only hope as time goes on I'll forget her
    My body's aching, can't sleep at night
    I'm too exhausted to start a fight
    And if I see her with another guy
    I'll eat my heart out 'cos I love, love, love, love her
    Come on baby, let's get together
    I'll love you baby, I'll love you forever
    I'm trying hard to stay away
    What made you change, what did I say ?
    Ooh I need your loving tonight
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving babe tonight (Hit me)
    Ooh I need your loving tonight
    No I'll never look back in anger
    No I'll never find me an answer
    Gave me no warning, how could I guess
    I'll have to learn to forgive and forget
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving
