वीरता का सबूत
एकबार अकबर का दरबार लगा हुआ था. नवरत्नों में से राजधानी में कोई उपस्थित नहीं थे. लोग अपने फरियादें सुना रहे थे. तभी बादशाह सलामत के चोबदार ने
घोषणा की, कि दो राजपूत युवक बादशाह के सामने कुछ निवेदन करना चाहते हैं. अकबर की आज्ञा से दोनों नवयुवक दरबार में उपस्थित हुए. लम्बे, छरहरे, शक्तिशाली ढाल और तलवार से युक्त. बड़ी ही ख़ूबसूरत नज़र आ रहे थे. केसरिया पगड़ी,चूड़ीदार पायजामा, सर गर्व से ...उन्नत. सारे दरबार कि आँखे,
उनकी ओर लगी थी. उन्होंने बादशाह को झुककर सलाम किया और चुपचाप खड़े हो गए. बादशाह ने कहा- हमें बताया गया था कि तुम कुछ फ़रियाद करने आये हो. बादशाह सलामत, हम राजपूत हैं. हमारा निवेदन यही है कि हमें वीरोचित कोई काम सौंपा जाय. हमने सुना है कि आप वीरों और विद्वानों के पारखी हैं और आप उन्हें सम्मान देते हैं. आप अपनी सेना में हमें रख लें और असंभव वीरता के काम सौंपे. सारा दरबार उनके बाते सुन रहा था. अकबर ने कहा- हमें कैसे भरोसा हो कि तुम वास्तव में वीर हो? कोई सबूत ?
.....दोनों नवयुवकों ने एक दुसरे कि ओर देखा. उनमे से एक ने कहा-बादशाहह
सलामत, हम राजपूत हैं....| हमें तो मालूम ही नहीं है कि सबूत क्या होता है और कैसे दिया जाता है....| बादशाह कि आँखे लाल हो गयी | दरबार में कोई नवरत्न नहीं था जो बात को संभाल सके. बीरवल आने ही वाले थे, पर किसी काम से आ न पाए थे. बादशाह गरजा- तो फिर तुम वीर हो यह कैसे कह सकते हो? हर कोई आदमी अपनी वीरता का ढोंग रच सकता है. हमें तो सबूत चाहिए...... या तो सबूत पेश करो या फिर चले जाओ.......| यह दरबार डींग हांकने वालों के लिएनहीं है. तिरस्कार भरी बादशाह के बातें सुनकर दोनों युवकों की आँखों में खून उतर आया, पर वह बादशाह अकबर का दरबार था. उन्हें अपनी वीरता का सबूत देना ही था. उन नवयुवकों ने अपनी कुल देवी भवानी का स्मरण किया, बादशाह के सामने सर झुकाया और फिर अपनी-अपनी तलवारें म्यान से खीच ली. ......फिर तो उन्होंने तलवारबाजी के वो करतब दिखलाये कि सारे दरबारी भौंचक्के रह गए. खुद बादशाह अकबर हैरान रह गए. उन्होंने बड़े-बड़े तलवार बाजों को देखा था, पर ये दोनों वीर तो अद्भुत थे. बिजली कि कड़क कि तरह तलवारें बरस रही थी. एक घंटे से ऊपर हो गया था. उनके शारीर से जगह-जगह से खून बह रहा था. .......तभी जय भवानी के स्वर के साथ एक नवयुवक कि तलवार कौंधी और उसने दुसरे नवयुवक का सर धड से अलग कर दिया. दुसरे युवक ने गिरते-गिरते भी ऐसा वार किया कि पहला नवयुवक मरणासन्न जमीन पर लोट गया. .........बादशाह अपने गद्दी छोड़कर दौड़े. यह क्या गजब हो गया. यह कौन सी नादानी की इन अद्बुत तलवार बाजों ने ? ऐसे शूरवीर तलवार के धनी, मौत से बिलकुल बेख़ौफ़ | यह क्या हो गया. बादशाह उस मनासन्न युवक के पास पहुंचे. मरते-मरते ही उसने कहा, बादशाह हम राजपूत हैं. जिंदगी और मौत में हम कोई फासला नहीं मानते, आपने सबूत माँगा. वीरों के पास वीरता का सबूत कैसा? हम तो जागते, सोते, लड़ते मौत को तलवार की नोंक पर टाँगे चलते हैं. कहते-कहते उसकी आँखे मूँद गयी. बादशाह शोक से भर गए. ........तभी घोषणा हुयी कि राजा बीरबल आ पहुंचे हैं. उनके आते आते शायद किसी ने घटना की सूचना दे दी थी. बादशाह को सलाम करते हुए बीरबल बोले, सम्राट मुझे आने में देर हो गयी. मैं होता तो आपसे प्रार्थना करता कि राजपूतों से
वीरता का सबूत कभी न मांगे. उनके पास वीरता का केवल एक ही सबूत होता है, मौत को हँसते-हँसते गले लगाना. बादशाह अकबर की आँखे गीली हो गयी.

There has been a flurry of articles from left leaning "Bharat Breaking leechtuals” and nouveau Pistorians, indulging at lengths into imaginative thinking and blatant lying, even falsely accusing Rajput king of the heinous crime of rape. A scroll article was spreading this lie when vigilant Twitter Users caught them lying and they had to remove that article. They are doing all this just to serve one divisive agenda; make Rajputs and in turn India’s pride look like a failure that Indians should steer away from, and in turn follow the manipulative ideologies of fake secularism and leftism that has been cancer to the society rotting it from within. Each one of these hate monger leftists, a Jaichand in their own right. These wannabe historians will try to convince you that these stories are false. According to their logic; locals of Chittor worship Queen Padmavati, have her temple, her story of valour passed across generations,
Queen has family descendants, all this came into being just because a poet wrote a poem “Padmavat”. They will tell you local testimony and geographical proof count for nothing. Family traditions have no value. They will still deny your argument and push their lies.
It’s incredible, the lengths they can go to malign India’s pride. This is a recurrent theme of their propaganda. Padmavati defaming is just one in this series of lies and manipulation.
HOW DID THE IMMORTAL RAJPUTS ARE COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD?
Here is the story of resistance that they don’t want you to know:
After the death of Prophet Mohammad, the newly formed Caliphates started attacking neighboring civilizations indiscriminately. In 633, they attacked Persia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, entered and captured sizable amount of Europe including Spain, parts of France, USSR etc.
Within 20 years of invasion, the entire Persian empire had fallen (633-652), thoroughly rampaged and completely converted in the next few years. Zoroastrian religion was destroyed. Iran is 1/3rd the size of India.
Ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia (present Iraq), Egypt, and others got ruined and completely converted to Islam within 20 years of Islamic Invasion. Even Spain and parts of Europe had been captured and converted. Their combined geographical size was more than double that of India.
Europe and Spain were later won back by Christian crusaders.
SO HOW IS BHARAT (INDIA) STILL HINDU MAJORITY
When we say Rajputs lost miserably, shouldn’t we have a yardstick? Who are we comparing the performance with? Ancient Egypt, Persia, Spain, Iraq, Syria? They all fell during Islamic Invasion. Why is India still not completely converted?
Was it the large-heartedness of these Islamic invaders whose sole aim was to kill “idol worshippers”?. The kind of invaders who would not even spare women and children, why were they so nice to Hindus?
Only a docile fool would believe that they were actually nice to Hindus. India is still Hindu because of 2 majors reasons:
Hindus loved their religion and were not ready to give it up even when faced with death
There was a perpetual armed resistance from different corners of India against the attack on their culture and religion. And Rajputs played a significant role in this resistance. Sikhs Empire and Marathas led valiantly by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj joined in around 1700AD, after a 1,100 years in the fight against the Islamist invaders.:
Till almost 400 years (600-1000 AD), Islamic invaders were defeated comprehensively and on multiple occasions, in Afghanistan and in Kashmir.
India’s outermost wall of resistance fell in 1000 AD Mahmud defeated Samrat Jaypala, a scion of the Hindu Shahiya dynasty of Kabul. This dynasty had been for long been the doorkeeper of India in the Northwest.
A mistake that can be pointed out is that, Rajputs kings were defending and Arabic attackers were playing offensive. They would get defeated and would gather again, under same or different banner and attack again. Hence, defensive game would only cause loss of property. They should have been offensive instead. But this can only be seen in the hind sight.
200 years after this, with the fall of Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan another major wall of India had been breached.
Indian legends say Chauhan defeated and pardoned Ghori 16 times until Ghori won the 17th time. while historians argue on how many times Ghori was defeated and let go, it is clear that he was pardoned multiple times.
But disagree with North Indian kingdoms didn't fell like pack of cards after his defeat. Rajputs rulling Gujarat and Mewar at that time would defeat the army of the same Ghori and would survive for next 100 years. Rajputs in gauda again had few moments left to its history with daring raid of Vishwarup Sena to Kashi occupied by Muslims . Malwa also survived. Overall defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan as key decisive event of Indian history is highly exaggerated narrative as well. If you have to take one key decisive event then it was sudden and dramatic fall of Hindu Shahi Rajput rulers of Punjab and Kabul which really altered the scenario.
3 generations of Shahi rulers vanished in mere 20 years, It was sudden and dramatic. Even Kalhana recognized that. Overall it was most fierce and yet unrecognized struggle that any medieval Hindu Rajput kingdom gave to the invading Islamic armies on first contact. Similarly defeat of Shahis should be seen with first Islamic invasions of northern India and demise of Pratihara empire. Which was even more drastic
One can blame Rajputs for not being united and being naive as they didn’t expect Ghori to break rules of formal warfare and attack in the most “cowardly” fashion in the nighttime. Cheating has never been the Indian way of warfare, but Rajputs were naïve indeed to think these looters will play by the rules of the war, . But the biggest lie of last century was unity is strength. Actually it's unite to surrender.
Right thinking Britons are for Brexit, but wanted unity in it's colonies
Another aspect to it is that Rajputs never changed their fighting tactics where as invaders learnt with every attack and improvised. They never could match Rajput valour that's why it took 700 yrs for islamic invasion to enter India
ALSO, RAJPUTS DIDN'T EMPLIY SPIES LIKE ISLAMIC INVADERS. THEY DIDN'T USE "SUFIS" IN GUISE OF SPIRTUAL SEEKERS, WHO WOULD SPY ON INDIAN TERRIOTORY AND THEN BRING ISLAMIC INVADERS ALONG TO ATTACK.
Example, a Sufi Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti played an Important role in providing Ghori intelligence. Chisti came to India presenting himself as a realized Sufi, and settled in Ajmer to spy for Ghori, He was an advisory to Ghori, later he came with Ghori to attact Prithviraj. Chisti’s dargah is still thronged by many in Ajmer Sharif, blissfully ignorant of the fact that Chisti was the spy that worked as a Sufi saint.
Yes, Rajputs were naive this way. And it did cost them heavily.
Why were the Rajputs and Indian resistance losing mostly?
Simply because of the numbers.
Attacks on neighboring civilizations by Arabs had got a fresh lease of life with adding religion in the equation, with the promise of heaven, war booty and sex slaves. The result, looters from across central Asia were joining to fight for the Islamic forces. Thus, there was never a shortage of foot soldiers.
With the fall of the protectors of India’s western and Northern frontiers came in a huge supply of people from across Asia, coming into India to loot in the name of Islam. These included the convertors and the fresh converts.
The numbers were so skewed in the favor of Muslims that often the Rajput Kings knew they were facing certain death.
This disparity in number always remained. Army of small Rajput states that was in the range of 3000 – 5000 was no match for this number. Khilji had an army of around 4,75,000,
Compare this with the 3000-4000 that Queen Padmavati’s husband King Rawal Ratan Singh had as Army. Anybody including Padmavati and Ratan Singh could guess what would be the outcome. Thus the women committed Jauhar.
Additionally, these invaders always had reinforcements. For example, Aibak got reinforcements from Ghazni. It was clear that any resistance to Islamic dominance meant certain defeat and destruction. Yet, Outnumbered they were always there to fight big opponents, they have to be good warriors since even small rajput principalities caused big trouble.
Maharana Pratap fought with an Army of Man Singh that was sent at the direction of Akbar. In the battle of Haldighati, Mann Singh had an army 5 times the size of Maharana Pratap’s and still Ranaji defeated Man Singh. When Man Singh called for fresh reinforcement and Akbar himself came with huge reinforcement of Army. Again, the numbers made it clear what the outcome would be. Maharana Pratap had to retreat.
Maharana Pratap started using Guerilla warfare and caused immense damage to Akbar.
Using Guerilla strategy, Maharana Pratap recovered many of his lost territories including Kumbhalgarh, Udaipur, Gogunda, Ranthambore and the areas around Chittor, although not Chittor itself. During this period, he also built a new capital, Chavand, near modern Dungarpur. His successful defiance of Mughals using guerrilla strategy also proved inspirational to laterday heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji who used it brilliantly against Mughal forces or Veer Kunwar Singh of Bihar who used it against the British.
THUS, WE SEE IMMORTAL RAJPUTS WERE FACED WITH EXTREME ODDS, YET THEY DIDN'T SUBMIT. IT WAS BRAVERY AND RESOLVE OF IMMORTAL RAJPUTS THAT DESERVES A FAIR SHARE OF CREDIT AND RESPECT. IT WAS THE SWORDS OF THE IMMORTAL RAJPUTS THAT SAVED INDIA FROM TURNING INTO A AN IRAQ, IRAN OR AFGHANISTAN.
हारने वालो का भी अपना रुतबा होता हैं मलाल वो करे जो दौड़ में शामिल नही थे..
They were defeated by Ghazni, Ghuri, Khalji, Babur, Akbar, the Marathas and the British But one QUESTION Lost means gone, right? How to lose again and again???
Desperate Leftist who got so much triggered when our Home Minister Rajnath Singh Praised MahaRana Pratap in 2015 on Maharana Pratap Jayanti that they left no Stone Unturned To post a Complety Malicious ,ill-researched his own fairy tale articleLets Start From Facts and Stats..What His Malicious-Article Clearly Lacked and Unfortunatly Has Gained a Lot of Popularity and Created an Stereotype That Rajput Lost ALL WARS: -
The Arabs
A. Bappa Rawal(Founder of Mewar Guhil(Sisodia) Dynasty) and Nagabhata 1 Pushes the Arabs Across the Indus (c 740 AD)
Nagabhata 1 was the founder of the imperial Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty that ruled most of present-day Rajasthan, Gujarat, Sindh and Madhya Pradesh from its capital at Ujjain and later Kannauj during the seventh to eleventh centuries AD. The Gurjara-Pratiharas are believed to be the ethnic predecessor of the modern-day Rajputs. It was under Nagabhata 1 that the first waves of Arab invasions rocked the south-western frontier of the Indian subcontinent. Led first by Muhammad bin Qasim and later by Al Junayd, the Arabs not only conquered Sindh and Multan but also made inroads into Rajasthan and Gujarat, thus bringing them into conflict with the Gurjara-Pratiharas. However, the Gurjara-Pratiharas under Nagabhata 1 not only checked the Arab advance into Gujarat but also forced them to retreat as far as the west bank of the Indus River. Bappa Rawal Penetrated deep into Sindh and gave Arabs a beating So bad that they could’nt dream of attacking india for next 300 year his heroics against the Arabs raised Bappa Rawal’s status to such an extent that he wrongly came to be regarded as the founder of the dynasty of Mewar
The Twenty-four battles
B.Khuman II, Rawal: He was the thirteenth ruler of Mewar (r. 828–853) and he succeeded his father Rawal SINHA. Khuman II ruled for twenty-five years from Chittorgarh, and gained the nickname of Mighty Warrior after repelling a Muslim force that attacked the capital. It is believed that, during Khuman’s reign, a formidable Islamic force of the Arab Caliph of Baghdad, Al-Mamun, the second son of Harun-al-Rashid raided Chittor. (The caliph’s forces were finally halted in the east at the walls of Chittor and, in the west, at Tours, in the heart of France, where Charles Martel had defeated them in 732 during the reign of Bappa Rawal). In all, Khuman II fought twenty-four great battles against these invaders, and Chittorbecame a rallying point for Hindus, Mewar thus gained the honourable reputation as the guardian of Hinduism. After Khumann’s great struggle there followed fifteen generations of kings at Chittor who were engaged in intermittent warfare against new waves of Muslim invaders. A younger son, Mangal Raj, killed Khuman II in an effort to gain the throne, however his elder son, MAHAYAK, succeeded him : Khuman Gaani : invoked even today as a greeting and a blessing. “Many Salutations to Khuman”
Conclusion
Rajput:Victorious,Successfully Stopped Islamic Calliphate
Marathas: . Marathi, which evolved from Maharashtri Prakrit, has been the lingua franca from the 9th century onwards.thus comparing Maratha’s now would be absurd
Pashtuns:Converted successors of hindu shahi…
The Ghazni
NOTE:Ghazni Never Ruled any Indian Territory But is Know To Have Raided India 17 times(Record of Only 10 Raid’s exists though)(Only Area’s of Punjab and once in his last raid Gwalior)He talk of Ghazni but would Sahane ever take initiative to call Maratha(his own community) Lost To DurraniIndian campaign of Ahmad Shah Durrani - Wikipedia

The Only Open-field Rajput-Ghazni Supermacy Battle that occurred was Battle Of Bahraich in which a Coallation of Rajput King Was Victorious under Leadership of Suhaldev and Raja Bhoja of Malwa ,what Girish Sir missed to mention of..
Mahmud was followed by his nephewMasood Ghazni. Continuing Mahmud’s legacy, he invaded India with an army of more than 100,000 men in May 1031 AD. Unlike Mahmud’s army which was basically a raiding party, Masood’s army was backed by the imperial army and had attacked India with the intention of permanent conquest and Islamization of India.
King Anandpal Shahi tried to check this invasion along with the king of Sialkot. But, this alliance was overwhelmed by the superiority in numbers of the invading army. Masood continued his advance towards Indian mainland. King Mahipal Tomara also tried to check their advance but he was also defeated. After victories across Northern Indian plains, Masood camped at Bahraich which is near Lucknow.
Meanwhile, a historic alliance was being created under Raja Suhaldev and the famous Raja Bhoja of Malwa(a Parmar Rajput). 17 Indian RajputKings together forged an alliance. This was the biggest confederation that has ever existed in India.
On 13th June, an army of about 1,20,000 descended on the Ghazni camp of Bahraich. Masood’s army was completely besieged and encircled. Each and every man in Masood’s camp was killed. The battle ended on 14th June with the victory of the Hindu-Rajput federation.
The invasion was completely crushed and such resounding was this victory that none of foreign kingdoms dared to invade India for the next 160 years.
Conclusion
Rajputs:Failed to Stop Raid’s but Successfully Stopped Ghazni’s from rulling even a single inch of indian territories
Pashtuns:served Ghazni,no reason to fight them
The Ghori
Now we all know about prithviraj Chauhan….he cleary writes rajput lost to Ghori..but his article which criticize PrithviRaj for 2nd Battle of Tarain didn’t thank him for countless battles he had won before
not maybe 16 but indeed proof exist that for Several times Ghurid’s Invasion was Expelled by Prithviraj,most notably 1st battle of tarain(Go thru wikki to look at his Extraordinary Reign)
‘Battle Of Gujrat or Kasahrada’
In Which Mulraja and his fellow Rajputs of Gujrat defeated Ghori so decisively that he reverted that to Afganistan even rulers of south praised him for his victory and he Successfully Stopped Islamic expansion on reaching south and central india ,also the occupied Rajput territories were contantly under rebellion by Rajputs which greatly weakend his control and they ruled only over 10% of northern Indian territories for a Very Short Period of time,the loss of delhi was the only prominent lost
most of India Is stil beyond their reach
Conclusion
Rajput:Successfully restricted Ghurid invasion after loss of delhi
Wikki Abstract(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_of_Ghor)…The 2nd Battle was lost due to a Night Attack ,This Defeat is not something an Indian Hindu should be proud of
Pashtuns:Served Ghazni,no reason to fight them
The Delhi Sultanates
looking this map doesn’t make Rajput losers,Unless only you argue for winning Delhi,which Rajputs were never really fond of,they believed in chivalric system of warfare rather than conquest
A.Khalji dynasty(1290–1320)
the first delhi sultanat Dynasty.…and Most and Only Successfull Dynasty Against Rajputs ,the one that rajputs falied to stop penetration but even then invincible khalji who have Known to have defeated even mongols and remained undefeated most of the time were defeated By A Rajput Hammirdev of Ranthambore. He gave a tough fight till his last breathe to Allaudin Khalji. He also killed 2 of Allaudin’s generals Ulug Khan and Ahmed Khan. He is also known to have defeated Allaudin’s uncle Jalaudin Khalji and forced him to retreat back to Delhi.
When Allaudin laid a sieze on the fort of Ranthambore, for 3 yrs Allaudin was not able to capture the fort. After several unsuccessful attempts by Allaudin Khalji, Khalji’s soldiers started pelting stones on the fort to weaken the walls of the fort. In this process one of the generals of Allaudin, Dost Khan, got injured. Upon hearing this, Hammirdev entered into battlefield and killed Dost Khan.
However within 3 years, food and other resources available in the fort got exhausted and people who had taken shelter in the fort had to starve with hunger. Hammirdev decided to do face to face fight(Saka) in the open battlefield. Hammirdev with his small army fought against the huge army of Allaudin Khalji bravely.
The Wife of Hammirdev Rangadevi alongwith other women of the royal family committed Jauhar(self immolation). All the soldiers of Hammirdev got killed in the battlefield. Hammirdev too got injured. Hammirdev himself decapacited his own head in front of the idol of Goddess Jagdamba as a tribute to her. And thus, the life of a brave warrior ended in the fight for his nation.
AND RAJPUTS ARE PROUD OF IT,WE WILL TAKE PRIDE IN OUR MARTYR'S,
In all of his empire it was only much weaker and scattered Rajputs who revolted and fought the most against him(actually any Indian can but your ‘Sickcular’ policy had made him a hero of Rajput only,How Ironic!!Thanks to thequint.com and ofcourse Scroll.com)
Conclusion
Rajputs:Fought hard but ‘smallindependent rajput states’lost;Khalji Victory
Pashtun:Served Khalji
Martha:Served Khalji, Yadava dynasty( Kannada-speaking Hoysalas), which ruled most of present-day Maharashtra, was overthrown by the Delhi Sultanateruler Ala-ud-din Khalji
b .Tughlaq (1320–1414)
Strongest Delhi Sultanat ,captured almost entire India However his Empire Collapsed Due Two Fold Resistance BY 1.Vijaynagar 2.Rajputs(again) under Hamiir Singh Sisodia of Mewar who united all rajputs kings of rajputana and defeated him at BATTLE OF SINGOLIand liberated much important entire Rajputana.
Conclusion
Rajput:Rajput Victory,Successfully liberated present day Rajasthan
Pashtun:Served Timurid Empire
Maratha:Served Tughlaq, Tughluq conquered parts of the Deccan, and temporarily shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in Maharashtra. After the collapse of the Tughluqs in 1347, the breakaway Bahmani Sultanate. governed the region for the next 150 years from Gulbarga and later from Bidar
C.Sayyid (1414–51)
Weakest almost lost to any Rajput state,notably being Mewari we know once Rana Mokal in his teenage slaughaterd sayyids hard when they tried to invade mewar
Conclusion
Rajput:Decisive Rajput Victory
Pashtuns:Served Timurid Empire
Marathas:Served Bahmani Sultanate

Rajput:Decisive Rajput Victory
4. Lodhi (1451–1526)
The Afghan Lodis replaced the Tughlaqs and the Saiyids as the reigning monarchs in Delhi at the start of the sixteenth century. However, Rajputs continued to remain a thorn in their flesh. Liberated in the 1330s from Muslim rule, most of Rajasthan continued to remain independent, operating politically as a loosely bound confederacy of Rajput states under the informal but widely acknowledged suzerainty of the Maharanas of Mewar.
Alarmed at the power of the Rajput confederacy, Ibrahim Khan Lodi(sikandar lodhi was bit succesfull but was badly defeated by rajputs of mewar and Gwalior which stopped further expansion) was left with no choice but to take to the battlefield. The resultant battles of Khatoli (1518), fought near present-day Kota, and the battle of Dholpur (1519) resulted in the complete rout of the Afghans. The victory brought the Rajputs within a day’s march from Agra and Delhi, while also putting them in control of almost all of Malwa (central India).
The Lodis spent the next few years that were left to them, by providence, in constant fear of the Rajputs. By the time the Lodis were finally extinguished by Babur, at the first battle of Panipat in 1526, their empire had shrunk to only a fragment of the early Islamic conquests of Alauddin Khalji and Qutb-ud-Din Aibak.
The Rajputs meanwhile had grown to be the strongest military power in north India, having outlived and outlasted all their adversaries — the Arabs, the Turks and the Afghans — over the last 500 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dholpur (15,000 rajputs vs 40,000 Pashtuns)
(First time a small Hindu defending force defeated larger invading forces in an open battle field — Hussain Khan taunted his fellow nobles from Delhi: “It is a hundred pities that 30,000 horsemen should have been defeated by so few Hindus. )
While Sahane called Rana Sanga a mere chief who lost and took beating only lets look at sanga military history who had know to have won 100 battles and fought 18 legendary battles with the Muhammadans
Under Sanga, Mewar State remained a hegemonic power among all kingdoms of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Malwa region. He must have a better military record than that of a “defeat specialist” to unnerve the Emperor of Afghanistan to call his war on the former “Jihad against infidels and apostates” .
Sanga’s first major battle was subjugation of Rajputs of Idar state (Gujarat) in 1514. In 1517, he defeated an alliance of Idar’s Rajputs and Gujarat Sultanate, putting his vassal at Idar. In 1517, Sanga helped Medini Rai wrestle Mandu leading to Turkic Sultan Mahmud Khilji II’s escape to Gujarat. In 1519 at battle of Gagron he defeated an alliance of Gujarat Sultanate and Malwa Sultanate, arresting Khilji II who he restored after six months only when the latter gave Chanderi and Ranthambore fort. In the same battle, he actually had the wounded Gujarat Sultan (a self-confessed Rajput) nursed in his tent (Ferishta, Erskine). In 1517, Sanga defeated Ibrahim Lodi, the Pathan ruler of Agra at the battle of Khatoli , though lost his arm ; many Pathans changed allegiance to him . In 1519 he again defeated Ibrahmin Lodi at Dholpur. After this, his influence reached Pillai Khar near Fatehpur Sikri in Agra (Medieval History Part 1; Satish Chandra; pg-222). In 1520, he led the siege of Ahmedabad against the Gujarat Sultan. His only embarrasment was the Chittor siege 1524 by Gujarat and Malwa Sultans. Is this record of a “defeat specialist”?
Conclusion
Rajput:Decisive Rajput Victory
Pashtuns: By the 16th century western Afghanistan again reverted to Persian rule under the Safavid dynasty,While Their Lodi Empire Was overthrown by the Babur
Maratha:Served Bahmani Sultanate,After the break-up of the Bahamani sultanate in 1518, the Maharashtra region was split ibetween five Deccan Sultanates: Nizamshah of Ahmednagar, Adilshah of Bijapur, Qutubshah of Golkonda, Bidarshah of Bidar and Imadshah of Elichpur.These kingdoms often fought with each other. United, they decisively defeated the Vijayanagara Empire of the south in 1565.
5.Mughal Empire(under Akbar):
In 1576, after the fourth summon failed, Haldighati was invaded; Man Singh (son of Bhagwandas) and Syed Hashim Barha led 5,000 to 10,000 strong Imperial force — mostly Rajputs and Pathans. The beleaguered forces saw Pratap-led Rajputs, Bhils led by Rana Poonja Bheel and Pathans led by Hakimkhan — 3000 soldiers. After initial success, the release of Imperial reserves forced the beleaguered troops to retreat, failing to break stalemate (Satish Chandra;Vol-II; p-120 to 121). Anyone calling it “victory” or “defeat” is distorting history. In the following months, the Emperor joined the fray and as Pratap was hunted, he temporarily lost all the three fortresses too.
In 1585, with Imperial focus diverted, Pratap conquered most Mewar and consolidated hold over it. He died peacefully in 1597, unlike his three predecessors.
From 1598 to 1605 during Rana Amar’s rule , several expeditions were sent including Prince Salim’s expeditions in 1599 and 1603 but with little success. From 1605 to 1613, Emperor Jehangir sent several expeditions under Prince Pervez, Mahtab Khan and Abdullah Khan, but were repelled. In 1613 Jehangir himself arrived and camped for two years. With heavy toll of life , depopulation and ruination of agriculture, Amar Singh finally accepted a treaty in 1615. He was 56 years old back then and died four years later. He ruled and fought as sovereign for 18 of his 22 year rule (Satisch Chandra; Vol-II;122) against the might of the Imperial Mughal army which was also hugely dependent on Rajput-recruitment.
A Highlight Why Rana Pratap was Most Successfull Insurgent King Against Akbar And His imperial Forces
First of all Akbar never fought against Maharana. But if you are asking if Maharana was ever able to defeat mughals then my answer is yes definitely he defeated them several times.
Battle of Dewair -Fought in 1582,Rana Victory made Mughal flee all 36 Checkpost they installed in Mewar To Dominate Rana and allies
Capturing kumbhalgarh- Rana defeated mughal army in kumbhalgarh and won back the historic fort (4 times repelled mughal Attack Afterwards).
Rana also won back Udaipur(an Almost Impossible task)
Rana invaded Dhundhar(Jaipur Region) to teach Man Singh a lesson
Rana also won several other battles against mughals he captured 83 0f 85 forts of Mewar
Satish Chandra(a Leftist Himself and a Renowned Historian,But Unbaised unlike Sahane To Call MahaRana a mere looser of Haldighati)
MahaRana Pratap’s defiance of the mighty Mughal empire, almost alone and unaided by the other Rajput states, constitute a glorious saga of Rajput valour and the spirit of self sacrifice for cherished principles. MahaRana Pratap’s methods of sporadic warfare was later elaborated further by Malik Ambar, the Deccani general, and by Shivaji.
Battle of Dewar A Notable Victory For Mewar and Rana Amar Singh That Entitled Him the Title of ‘CHAKRAVEER’Battle of Dewar - Wikipedia
The Battle of Dewar was fought between Amar Singh I of Mewar and Jahangir's army under Parviz and Asaf Khan IV. Shortly…en.wikipedia.org
So there is definitely something quite different even in the non-revisionist , actually Left-liberal history-works that smoothly rebutts the Girish Sahane-inspired Scroll gobbledygook .
Eventualy:
1.mewar — -Definatly not lost they Challenged Superior Mughal for Over 88 years and eventually signed a peace treaty favorable to Mewar…the rana never bowed and continued rule as an independent entity..and even challenged Mughal from time to time
Other states:
now here controversy starts..’Rajput sold their Daughter To mughal’ first of all theres a lot of
Difference between marriage and to sold ..sibling from rajput princesse(Jahangir and shah jahan) were made emperor but not from sayyid or Persian or pashtun wives(other outside races) or of their native mughal tribe It’s The rest of state entered into diplomacy yes Rajputs did lost to Mughal but were diplomatically more successful now what questionable is hindu giving daughter to muslim..well its because you haven’t heard of Lalabai wife of Rana Udai Singh and had a son Sahib Khan,half brother of Maharana pratap or Bibi Mubarak Mughal wife of Man Singh Kachwaha
Rao Chandrasen Fought all his lifetime against Imperial Forces and Akbar won Marwar only after death of Rao,he thus called forgotten hero of Marwar. He defended his kingdom for nearly two decades against relentless attacks from the Mughal Empire.
Chandrasen Rathore - WikipediaChandrasen Rathore ( r. 1562-1581) was an Indian ruler of Marwar, which was later known as Jodhpur (in the present day…en.wikipedia.org
Several Rajput States most notably Kingdom of Bikaner Defeated Humayun When Mughals Under him tried to Conquer Rajputana.
Turk lutera Akbar attacked present day himachal pradesh Kangra fort 52 times. Yes 52 times!!
Every single time he was defeated by brave Katoch rajputs.
And Guess what Jahangir sat outside fort for 2 years attacked several times and lost but final won when a hindu helped him ,
Conclusion
1.Rajput:Failure indeed Rajput history remains mired in controversies between the Right’s appropriation of it and the Left’s polemic against it , but this period gave rajputs its most celebrated warrior MahaRana Pratap ,Rani Durgavati, Chatrasal Bundela, Rana Raj Singh, Rao Rao Chandrasen and Durgadas Rathore…first time rajput states accepted a Secondary position
2.pashtuns:Failed to stop mughal invasion,gave a tough fight but eventually lost to mughal army led by Man Singh Kachwaha
3.Marathas:The ruling sultanates accepted mughal supremacy,the Marathas served their subordinate sultanates chief’s
6.Mughal Empire(Under Aurenzeb):
Rajput Helped Mughals untill their Interest were not Compromised,Here Again The Rajputs prove Metal and emerge Victorious though not as Grand as The Rise of Marathas but Enough that anyone if not Suffering from Schizophrenia would never-ever call this a defeat
Rajput Rebellion Under Rana Raj
Contemporary of Aurangzeb who was opposed to Islamic intolerance of Aurangzeb. He gave refuge to a Rajput woman who was being pressurized to marry Aurangzeb. Infuriated Aurangzeb attacked Mewar with a vast army. But Mughals were defeated and driven back. A close friend of Durgadas Rathore of Marwar.
Battle of Udaipur (1680) — Aurangzeb attacked Mewar and plundered Udaipur, the citizens were safely escorted to the aravalli hills by Rana Raj Singh but 63 temples in and around Udaipur were plundered and many villages were burned down by Aurangzebs general Taj Khan. The Mughal army was eventually starved out of Mewar because of the scorched earth techniques and guerrilla warfare used by the Rana. Aurangzeb after a failed campaign left Mewar to his son Akbar and retreated to Ajmer.
Battle of Aravalli hills (1680) — In the second half of 1680, after several months of such setbacks, Aurangzeb decided on an all-out offensive. Niccolao Manucci, an Italian gunner in the Mughal army, says: “for this campaign, Aurangzeb put in pledge the whole of his kingdom.” Three separate armies, under Aurangzeb’s sons Akbar, Azam and Muazzam, penetrated the Aravalli hills from different directions. However, their artillery lost its effectiveness while being dragged around the rugged hills and both Azam and Muazzam were defeated by the Rajputs under Durgadas Rathore and Rana Raj Singh.
NOTE:in a letter to Aurenzeb by Akbar he wrote that none none of Mughal general was ready to face the rajput’s feared from the techniques of Rana Raj and Durgadas Rathore the mughal force’s begain flee from mewar and marwar
2. Durgadas Rathore and The Thirty Years War Between Marwar and the Mughal Empire (1678–1707 AD)
Durgadas Rathore is one of those figures of Indian history whose name remains alien to most Indians, but who would have been justly celebrated as a national hero had he been born in any other nation.
A painting of Durgadas Rathore by the German artist Archibald H Muller (Wikipedia)
A loyalist of the king of Marwar (Jodhpur), Durgadas Rathore stood up to the might of Aurangzeb as the latter tried to deviously annex the kingdom to his domains. The kings of Jodhpur had earlier made their peace with the Mughals in return for nominal suzerainty over their domains. The ruler of Marwar, Jaswant Singh, was serving the Mughal state as a high-ranking general posted in Jamrud, Afghanistan. However, when Jaswant Singh died in Afghanistan, and factional feuds among the Rathore nobles broke out over the control of the kingdom of Marwar, Aurangzeb saw an opportunity to annex the kingdom completely to the Mughal state and depose of the ruling Rathore Rajputs. As the Mughal armies advanced on Jodhpur, Durgadas Rathore fled the city with the sole surviving son and heir of Jaswant Singh — the infant Ajit Singh.
For the next three decades, as the young Rajput Ajit Singh came of age, Durgadas Rathore lived as a fugitive and fought a series of battles against the Mughal army with his faithful band of followers. He also attempted to forge alliances with various powers in his fight against Aurangzeb — including the Marathas and Aurangzeb’s rebellious son, Prince Akbar. Though he achieved limited success in these battles, his continued rebellion remained a constant source of concern to Aurangzeb, who tried to entice him to enter the Mughal service by making repeated offers of land and rank. Eventually, after the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, Durgadas seized Jodhpur and expelled the occupying Mughal forces. Ajit Singh Rathore was installed as the rightful heir to the throne of Jodhpur and Marwar regained its independence.
Battle of Jodhpur (1707) — Durgadas Rathore took advantage of the disturbances following the death of Aurangzeb in 1707 to seize Jodhpurand eventually evict the occupying Mughal force out of Marwar.[39]
🔥Triumph of Hindus was Complete🔥
Maharaja Ajit Singh captured Marwar in a fierce attack.
Mughals were killed & held captive.
All mosques were razed to ground & Temples were reinstated on every single 1 of them.
Mughals were made to chant Rama Nam
Saviors of Sanatan
All of this happened in 1708.
Even though Rajputana felt the direct attacks for 1200 yrs, not even 1 city is been named 'Abad' with muslim population still less than 9%, same case with Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Uttrakhand, wherever Rajput's population was higher. Blessed to be native of rajputana where culture & religion floats up not like others where indian culture vanished due to so called "Open broad minded society " Abad lore bay dras
Men of Steel they were. There is a reason why by 1800's except for few nawab states all of the rest were under control of Hindu Rajput Kings. That in itself say who finally conquered in long drawn battle.
Conclusion
1.Rajput:Several Rajput states resorted to rebellion, Ajit Singh and Durgadas made Aurangzeb bite dust in Rajputana. Aurangzeb alongwith his 3 eldest sons were on mission to suppress the Rathores but couldnt succeed. In fact Rathore made one of the Aurangzeb's son turn against him. Rana Raj Singh of Mewar defeated Aurangzeb Thrice.
Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Marwar broke mosques & built temples on them during Aurangzeb's rule.
Kunwar Bhim Singh broke 300 mosques in Gujarat in retaliation to Aurangzeb's farman on Temples.
Only Mughal emperor to b killed by an Indian was killed by Maharaja Ajit Singh of Marwar, mughal emperor was Farukhsiyar.
Kaha hai ye history books me?
Sawai Jai Singh got mughals to remove Jaziya & Bathing tax at Gaya.
Evn after all this,our history is strategically sidelined & ignored both by left & right.
2.pashtuns:Several pashtun tribe like rajput’s resorted to rebellion
3.Marathas:The heroic maratha rise under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,often regarded as greatest indian emperor from here onward’s the more celebrated history of Maratha’s start, The "Maratha" empire headed by Chitpavan Peshwas and later made up of Pathan pindaris didn't rule from Attock to Cuttack. It looted and destroyed towns , forcing inhabitants to pay "chautth" but could never hold these territories permanently.
7.The Marathas and British
A.Maratha
The Rajputs were no match for the European armed and French trained sepoys under Benoit De Boigne, his European tactics were far superior to the traditional Indian warfare that the Rajputs followed.
Benoît de Boigne gives an eyewitness’s account of a charge that took place: “it is impossible for me to describe the feats of bravery performed by the Zard-Kaprawalas(Saffron-clad Rajput’s During Battle of Merta 1790) or forlorn hope of the enemy. I have seen, after their line was broken, fifteen or twenty men only return to charge one thousand infantry, and advance within ten or fifteen paces of our line, before they were all shot.” “It is but just to the enemy to acknowledge that, considering the situation in which they were found, and the disorder consequent thereto, they behaved very valiantly, as they actually cut down some of our people at their guns, and two of them with a desperate fury and intrepidity, made at De Boigne himself and might possibly have killed him if they had not been hewn in pieces by his bodyguards
The Maratha Consolidated Hold Only in late 1790 and lost in 1818 the Maratha influence in Rajputana was for a short period of time but enough that they Caused a sort of Genocide(much like they did in Bengal)after khilji only martha did so much destruction ,yet Rajput did lost to maratha but later under british Destroyed Maratha power,for which Maratha themselves are to be blamed of ……………..
NOTE:it was only Dynasty of Rajasthan,the purbia rajput were themselves employed by Maratha to fight against Rajasthani Rajput’s
CONCLUSION
1.Rajput:Several Rajput states looted and raided by maratha’s. internal rebellion and bankruptcy of several prominent states at it’s peak
2.pashtuns:unlike rajput’s the pashtuns regain their unity under Abadali to give rise to strongest pashtun empire,the Durrani Empire
3.Marathas:The maratha confederacy Became overload of almost entire present-day india
B.British
The Rajputs and British,Thanks To Maratha, Their Brutal Invasion Made Rajputana Hollow plagued by internal rebellion here and there further Surrounded by afgans,maratha and mughals left no Choice but To Sign the Last Treaty of Peace after centuries of Battles the Rajput indeed Even Mewar was Helpless(Thanks to Holkar’s and Scindias for their Sudden Night Attack’s that almost entire population of chittorgarh was perished in hour’s) The The Treaty was highly respectable to both parties thus to maintain order and save it’s citizen from autocracy of a foreign power the king’s joined hand with the British……..So did each and every community and became as loyal to British and served them than any other,Sikh Fought the Famous Battle of Saragahi not for their empire but for British…….
A Question that Haunts:Ok Everyone Served ,but why no Anglo-Rajput War
ans:Maratha Brutal Invasion,There was No Reason for already demolished Rajputs to raise arms against the Brits,but remember majority of rajput state’s of Bihar ,UP and Himachal fought against Britisher’s most notably that of JagdishpurKunwar Singh - Wikipedia
Kunwar Singh was born in November 1777 to Maharaja Shahabzada Singh and Maharani Panchratan Devi, in Jagdispur of the…en.wikipedia.org
अंग्रेजों के विरूद्ध राजपूतों का महायुद्द
बिहार :
कुछ भारत तेरे टुकड़े गैंग राजपूतों पर तंज कसते हुए कह रहे थें कि अंग्रेजों के समय में राजपूत कहां थे ?....तो सुनो राजपूत 1000 वर्षो तक जिस तरह मुसलमानों से लड़ते रहें,उसी तरह वें अंग्रेजो से भी पुरे देश में लड़ते रहें।बेहतर होगा कि आप इतिहास को अच्छी तरह से अध्ययन करें।आज मैं 1857 की क्रांति में बिहार के राजपूतों के योगदान पर चर्चा करूंगा।
........
...बिहार में क्रांति का नेतृत्व का जगदीशपुर रियासत के राजा वीर कुंवर सिंह ने नेतृत्व किया।वह भी उस 80 वर्ष के बुढापे के उम्र में जिस उम्र में लोग लाठी का सहारा ले लेते हैं लेकिन उन्होनें तलवार का सहारा लिया था।25 जुलाई 1857 को बिहार के दानापुर के भारतीय सैनिकों ने विद्रोह कर दिया और वें सभी जगदीशपुर जाकर वीर कुंवर सिंह के सेना में शामिल हो गये।कुंवर सिंह ने सेना को संगठित कर अंग्रेजो से युद्ध किया।
.....कुंवर सिंह को साथ देने के लिए बिहार के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों से अनेक राजपूत जागीरदार और जमींदार भी आएं जिनका नाम है---पीरो परगना का तहसीलदार हरिकिशन सिंह अपने चारों भाई लक्ष्मी सिंह,अजीत सिंह, आनन्द सिंह और राधसिंह ने इस क्रांति में भाग लिया इन चारों को अंग्रेजो ने काले पानी की सजा दी थी।
.........विर कुंवर सिंह के साथ अंग्रेजों के विरूद्ध जिन राजपूतों की महत्वपुर्ण भूमिका रही उनका नाम है सासाराम के निशान सिंह चौहान ,गाजीपुर के सिधा सिंह और जोधा सिंह,रामेशर सिंह ( अंग्रेजी सेना का बागी सुबेदार ), सुन्दर सिंह (जनरल पद पर ), भजन सिंह ( चावर,भोजपुर अंग्रेजी सेना के बागी सुबेदार ) , राणा दालान सिंह (क्रांति परामर्श दाता ), जीवधन सिंह (खुमदनी ,गया का जमींदार), बिहियां कुमान का कमाण्डर लक्ष्मी सिंह (भदवर ,भोजपुर ), कान सिंह ,काशी सिंह (प्रधान सेनापति ), रणबहादुर सिंह (गाजीपुर का जमींदार ), शिवबालक सिंह (क्रांति के जनरल ),हरि सिंह हेमतपुर (भोजपुर का जमींदार )।
.......हजारा सिंह (भोजपुर-बलिया का जमींदार ),मनकुब सिंह (अंग्रेजी सेना के बागी सिपाही) ,जगमाल सिंह (बागी सिपाही ), उदति सिंह ,द्वारका सिंह , शिवधर शरण सिंह,आनन्द सिंह (घुड़सवार सेना के जनरल ), रामनारायण सिंह (बागी सिपाही ), राधे सिंह,भोला सिंह (गोला-बारूद प्रभारी ),देव सिंह ,साहिबजादा सिंह ,राम सिंह (बागी सुबेदार ),तिलक सिंह और भारू सिंह(बागी सुबेदार ), तिलक सिंह (बागी सुबेदार )।
......18मार्च 1858 को आजमगढ के पास अतरौलिया में कुंवर सिंह के नेतृत्व में राजपूतों ने अंग्रेजो के विरूद्ध घोर युद्ध किया यह यूद्ध चार दिन तक चला 22 मार्च को अंग्रेजी सेना हार गई।उसके बाद कर्नल डेम्स के नेतृत्व में अंग्रेजी कमांडर मिलमैन की सहायता के लिए आई किंतु राजपूतों ने उसे भी पराजित कर दिया।डेम्स भागकर आजमगढ किले में छिप गया।उसके बाद बनारस पर चढाई किया गया तो इससे घबड़ाकर लार्ड कैनिंग घबड़ाकर बड़ी सेना भेज दी।6 अप्रैल को युद्ध हुआ लार्डमार्क हार कर भाग गया किंतु कुंवर सिंह ने पिछि कर उसे आजमगढ के किले में कैद कर लिया।उसे साथ देने लगर्ड आया वह भी हार गया।जब वें गंगा पार कर जगदीशपुर आ रहे थे तो डगलस के नेतृत्व में अंग्रेजी सेना पिछा करती आ गई और गोली चलाने लगा एक गोली उनके दांये हाथ में लगी विष फैलने के डर से उन्होने तलवार से अपना हाथ काट दिया।
.......उनके जगदीशपुर पहुंचने के 24 घंटे बाद ही लिग्रैण्ड के नेतृत्व में फिर अंग्रेजी सेना ने आक्रमण कर दिया।यहां पर भी 23 अप्रैल 1858 को बुरी अंग्रेजों की हार हुई।उसके बाद जगदीशपुर शासन करने लगे वे पुरी तरह अजेय रहें किंतु युद्ध में इतने बुरी तरह से घायल हो गये थे कि तीन दिन बाद 26 अप्रैल 1858 को स्वर्ग सिधार गयें।
अंग्रेज इतिहासकार होम्स इनकी वीरता पर मुग्धर होकर अपनी पुस्तक में लिखता है----The Old Rajput who has fought so honourabluy and so bravely against the british power died on 26 april 1858
..........वीर कुंवर सिंह के स्वर्गावास के बाद अमर सिंह गद्दी पर बैठें उन्होने भी डगलस और लगर्ड की सेना से युद्ध लड़ा।
बिहिया,हातम
पुर ,दलीलपुर आदी तीनों जगह अंग्रेजो की इस तरह हराया की 15 जुन 1858 को जनरल लगर्ड को त्यागपत्र देना पड़ा।उसके बाद उसने कसम खायी की मै अमर सिंह को हराकर ही नौकरी में लौटुंगा 19 अक्टुबर को नोनुदी गांव मे फिर घोर युद्ध हुआ।अंग्रेज अमर सिंह के हाथी तक पहुंचे लेकिन वे हाथी से कुदकर निकल पड़े इसके बाद अमर सिंह का कहीं पता न चला।
.......अंग्रेजी काल में बिहार के कुछ और राजपूत वीरों ने अंग्रेजो से लोहा लिया जिनमें मुंगेर जिले गिद्धोर रियासत के राजकुमार कालिका सिंह, ठाकुर बनारसी प्रसाद सिंह इन इलाको से नन्दकुमार सिंह,श्याम सिंह ,नेमधारी सिंह तो शाहाबाद के हरिहर सिंह,सारण के प्रभुनाथ सिंह ,सारंगधर सिंह आदी हजारीबाग से रामनारायण सिंह समस्तीपुर से सत्यनारायण सिंह ,शिवपुर से नवाब सिंह आदी बहुत से बिहार के राजपूतों ने राष्ट्रीय आंदोलन में भाग लिया।
Conclusion
Every Community of Indian Subcontinent lost and served the British,The Rajput population was hardly 2–3% blaming Rajput’s only is an attempt to defame our community

Despite Victories Why no Rajput Empire(A Question That Gave Writters like Sahane or Anyone Enough Confidence To Call Rajputs looser): — —
Now Comes the general talk from 6–7A.d to 1615 A.d A Rajput Warrior Suffered More wars and bloodshed then any of race described above we fought more varied enimies against differrnt technique and different weapons but why the Notion of Defeat Comes Up mainly because unlike Marathas or sikh a term called ‘rajput empire’ never existed wikki has the answere
The Rajput kingdoms were disparate: loyalty to a clan was more important than allegiance to the wider Rajput social grouping, meaning that one clan would fight another. This and the internecine jostling for position that took place when a clan leader (raja) died meant that Rajput politics were fluid and prevented the formation of a coherent Rajput empire
1. They were never over ambitious and expansionist and were mainly interested in defending their existing territories.They believed in chivalric war than war for conquest,the Rajput’s were more comparable to Knights who neither had an empire but are known to be fierce warriors
2. They were the first ones to be at the receiving end of any foreign aggression and you may attribute this reason as to why Southern Kingdoms were not the ones to suffer the onslaught.
3. They were more disciplined armies and believed in certain battlefield customs like fighting during daytime only unlike the invaders who would go to any extent to win a battle. Values mattered them more then mere wins.
4. Lastly and most importantly Rajputs never had any unity (You will get many examples starting from PrithviRaj to Maharana Pratap)among themselves which predominately led to their downfall and affected the country for years to come.
Rajput Consumed Opium,And had a Numerical Superiority In Each and Every Battle:MythBusting..
So The entire Question of Rajputs a failure is only to undermine credentials of Rajputs…now Sahane Sir talk of opium …when it comes to opium nothing beats Mughal’s,Akbar used to get asleep between court conversation ,2 of his son died due to excessive opium consumption and Jahangir was an absolute opium addict ,his empire was managed by his wife Nur Jahan(Mehr-un-Nissa) and yet The Empire Reached its Zenith Under her who kept the real power for nearly 20 years.
..opium was common to every elite…this was the most dumbest thing I have Read…You lost cause you consumed opium…

Now He Talked of Two Battles
1.Battle Of Tarain
YES 120,000(Ghurids) vs 100,000(Rajput) so Where’s a 3:1 Ghurids like you would ofcourse praise themselves and Glorify their Victory Ghurids many of their records don’t talk of 1st battale of tarain either,They Ruled Much of Pakistan and Afganistan and where in no sense weaker than PrithviRaj Chauhan.
2.Battle of Khanwa (as per their source:-wikepedia)
NOTE:DEFECTED==BETRAY(TO CHANGE SIDE)
The Course of Battle Changed when 35,000 Soldiers In the Crucial 11th Hour of Fight Betray Sanga Forces…..
Initially
Sanga Force’s — 114,000
Mughals Force’s — -48,000
Finally(What The Senario Really was)
Sanga Force’s — 79,000
Mughals Force’s — -83,000(and His Cannons and Firepower Ofcourse)
SKADDOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sir,you talk of poor strategy check this out
This Ended in 6 hours,leftist Beloved Sultan’s ‘The Strategic Masters’??If Only Thing that a Millitary Leader Like Rana Sanga Lacked that day was a bit Luck and heavy Firepower..
3.Battle of Giri-Sumel(A Notable Mention,of Our Defeat)
Now You Talk of Numbers and Stratgy Cannot be Completed By Mention Of Sher Shah And Battle of Giri-Sumel
NOTE:Rajputs Were The Only Hndu Unit To Have Stopped His Expansion Despite Loss Rao Maldeo Continued To Rule Half of Marwar Independently and Suri after This Pyrrhic Victory didn’t Dare to Challenge the Rathore’s Again.
When Sher Shah learnt the valour and gallantry of Jaita and Kumpa,Sher Shah is said to have commented that “for a few grains of bajra (millet, which is the main crop of barren Marwar) I almost lost the entire kingdom of Hindustan.” — Enough Said Go through Wikki To Understand what I’am Talking About ( and you know why this battle occur because babur overthrown son seeks sheler provided by rathore rulers which pissed the afghan sher shah )

Now Compare Maratha vs Rajput Defeats?
Now This gives me right to write
Marathas lost to Durrani(afgans),the British,Rohilla’s,The Sikh(they Never Captured their Territories ),The Portuguese and kneeled down before French and only won against Mughal’s and already weakend Rajput’s minus hill Rajput rulers where marathas (though claim themselves also rajput ) Ruler found refuge.
At the time of Aurangzeb, The Most dominant Hindu Group in Mughal Army was Maratha, of 96 Marathas who held ranks of 1000 zat and above between 1679 and 1707 , 16 held ranks of 5K and above, 18 held ranks between 3K and 4K and 62 from 1000 to 2700 THUS FAR SURPASSING THE RAJPUTS.
Maratha noble’s helped Deccan sultanates(these Sultanat worse enemy of hindu) in every battle against Vijaynagar Empire that eventually led to their downfall it was Maratha cooperation that there sultanate’s existed for centuriesBattle of Talikota - Wikipedia
The Battle of Talikota (23 January 1565) was a watershed battle fought between the Vijayanagara Empire and the Deccan…en.wikipedia.org
however this Never let people question their Bravery ofcourse they had an empire(1674–1818)….expanded outside maharastra only in mid 18th centuary i.e a full flleged empire that existed for only 60 years and also never a united one that’s why easily lost to british despite being numerically superior in every war.In General RAJPUT and MARATHA Cannot be Compared a Rajput is an Genetic Identity while Maratha was more an Cultural or regional Indentity that rose to prominance in late age and perished Too quickly,often regarded as Death of an Empire Before it’s Birth
The part of confederacy was as follows
· the Peshwas of Poona
· the Gaekwads of Baroda
· the Holkars of Indore and Malwa
· the Scindias of Gwalior and Ujjain
· Bhonsales of Nagpur
· Even in the Maharashtra itself many knights were given semi-autonomous charges of small districts which led to princely states like Sangli, Aundh, Bhor, Bawda, Jat, Phaltan, Miraj etc.
Indian army liberated Marathwada from Muslims in 1948 not Shivaji,Peshwas or whatever. This is fact of recent history. No need to read primary source for this.
Note:See how easy it is prove one looser and look down upon them this is not against my Marathi brothers and Sisters but only a glimpse of how Rajput history is presented nowdays by writer’s likeGirish Sahane and Ruchika Sharma…we have lost count how many times he has shared his article to defame Rajputs and vilify our community and also had it published in several different Languages..and many more…A Marathi Brahman by himself if he love’s his Community then why Throw mud on other Community also Since Marathi are Called Champion’s of Hindutva(they are no Doubt i am sorry if my above para hurt sentiments of any marathi out there reading)There was No better Example that Maratha vs Rajput to Highlight what Our Textbook Don’t Tell Us……….
I was deeply hurt when a Rajput resort to self shamming after reading
Scroll Complety Malicious article …The Article Byfar Has been Largely Successfull in Portraying Rajputs as the mere looser.
One cannot imagine the duress in which they fought , protect their home land in the period from 6–7 AD to 1818 AD a period of more than Ten centuries. We did not become another Iran , another Uzbekistan , another Turk .We are what we are due to sacrifice of these warriors whatever may be the weaknesses they might have contained due to social/political backwardness .The Only Place where Rajput’s really looked like a fool is the failure to create an empire even when they had opportunity but Continued to Rule their Small Kingdom’s Independently With Pride,

Several significant battles are recorded to have taken place in what is now known as Rajasthan.en.wikipedia.org

Summary
There is no harm in being proud of your heritage and applauding your great warriors instead of singing the praises of foreign invaders. We would have not replied for your article if it wasn't so biased and included some more facts such as how the turk lutere Mughals and the British were more experienced warriors and their sole motto was to attacks and increase their territories. Rajputs, on the other hand, were rather peaceful rulers who were only contained with ruling and protecting their territories. And obviously they did not have access to better arms and ammunition.
Even if you survived like a sheep, you lost.
Even if you died like a lion, you won. Never leave your Dharma.
India is still a Hindu country because of these Rajput kings, and our rich heritage would otherwise been like that of Afghanistan or aboriginals in Australia. We have never understood this Indian mentality of considering foreigners superior. We are as proud as the Dutch or the Irish. It doesn't matter that we lost because we were not that good in war. What matters is that we had the courage to challenge foreign invaders and preserve our heritage.
We Rajputs Did Defeat-Arabs both Rashidun and Abbasid Caliphate, Ghori,Ghazni,Tughlaq(destroyed their power despite tughlaq had a 3 million strong army),The Sayyid,The Lodis(both Sikandar Lodhi and Ibrahim Lodhi),defeated Gujrat and Malwa Sultanate’s under the Khalji(not to be confused with Alauddin Khalji) And Finaly After a lot of Up’s and Down’s at one point their principle alies and key player in their politics but deprived of our prestige to finally Defeating Mughal’s(after aurenzeb,)Mewar alone Stopped Akbar invasion and for a long time Jahangir(Ofcourse not by loosing Constantly in a more than 5 Decade of continuous war)Gave a tough fight to Alauddin Khalji but eventually lost however the revolt continued…..the Marathas and British came at a point when after about more than 10 Centuries of Constant Battle Rajput’s were Exhausted It would be unfair to count them
If after reading this( point one percent we share ) makes us a community who had not won any war,then my friend you just wasted 20 minutes of life,Nothing can be done to stop critics like Girish Sahane and Ruchika Sharma whose influence has already littered Quora heavily with ‘Rajput Lost’ Shit,A message for my Rajput Brother’s and Sister’s focus on your studies and other important commitments of your life don’t get affected by such propaganda based articles this what they want it’s worthless doesn’t matter what they say IT IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A PRIVILEGED TO BE BORN A RAJPUT…………..
And for those people who are jealous of Rajputs and abuse them, they will never know that in this history there comes a time when no rajput above 17 years of age is alive that is the epitome of bravery and sacrifice with which rajputs have fought for our great motherland but still in democracy time and again we have to tell evryone about such sacrifices which rajputs did for whole lot of millenia, seeing that much done by rajputs some time is depressing that for these two face lowlifes filled nation our ancestors and we happily sacrifice for, Kabhi padna veer rajputon ke baare mein tab pta lagega hum kaun thay
