I'm a Rathore Rajput... I have seen in the comment section that many are saying that code of honour has costed us lots of wars yeah that is true but rajputs has done there duty quite successfully by stopping the invasions for some 500 years and even after that 700-800 years of struggles with invaders , but main thing is that that beacuse of that code of honour we are respected in Indian society. Even God Krishna has said to Arjuna "Many times even cowards will win the battle but glory will eventually come to Veer(True Warrior) only".

The sole reason of the division of our indian subcontinent and formation of pakistan & bangladesh is the self inflicted foolish chivalry tocental asian turko- mongol barbarians by our Rajputs during wars. During partition the country was supposed to be divided into two nation- 1 for muslims ( pakistan) one for hindus ( india). But again due to the foolishness of our indian leaders we chose to become a secular nation & still have to share our nation with the same group of people who butchered and chased out all of our ppl from pakistan & bangladesh.

Rajputs also resisted for atleast 500-600 years before the invaders finally found a breach in Indian borders. This time was enough for the Southern Indian Empires to strategize their way of fighting. Later Indian rajputs and Marathas also learnt to fight guierila style and attack at night

[@Arazorblade]

I am Rajput Kshatriya based in the Bihar and I have been told about how thru the centuries my ancestors have fought against enemies of India. Initially , from Ujjain, my ancestors fought against Mughals and before that some Turkish general and most of the family were massacred , the few who were left settled in Aara , Bihar . We again fought for Raja Kunwar Singh in 1857 against British .After losing the battle the whole family was again massacred by the British. Many people don’t know this but British targeted even the wives and kids of those who participated in revolt of 1857. One of my great grandfather ran away to Nepal border with just one son to save his lineage . Our grandfathers again participated in independence movement and 2 of them lost lives against British in 1942 and now we are settled in Bihar Nepal border. We are poor but still live by Rajput code and are proud of sacrifices by our ancestors.

[@commanderofkesariyaknights]

Mughal empire was built through alliance of pragmatic Akbar with the Rajputs with rajput generals defeating other muslim powers like adil shahis in deccans, muslim rajputs kings in Gujarat and Afghans in Benga and North west. After death of Aurangzeb Mughal king farrukhsiyar was blinded and killed by rajput king ajit singh in 1719 within mughal palace and puppet emperor placed after that. So mughal empire was actually destroyed by Rajputs who built it after revolting against radical Aurangzeb. Despite doing this much, many ungratefuls have issue that there was marriage alliance between Rajputs and Mughal kings, which was the norm between allied kings, with even mughal princesses like Akbar's niece marrying Man Singh. Their own foreathers were supplying mistresses for favours but now they will preach and point fingers at queens whose sons became kings.

Wow, great video. On rajputs, there is a great deal of divided opinion. One one side they're praised for their bravery and valour and on the other side they're criticised for not being able to protect the frontiers. Nevertheless, there were rajput kings who successfully defeated the foreign invaders & checked their advance for almost 400 years since the first invasion.

[@EpimetheusHistory]

@Achaean Mapping I could be wrong but, I believe they are more liked than disliked ...but among those who dislike them it is because of the tough decisions some of their leaders had to make during the Mughal/Maratha/British east company wars... in contrast to the Rajputs who fought to the death, other Rajput leaders cut a deal with the outside powers to spare their peoples lives... and some took actions against other groups in the Indian sub-continent to benefit only their clan instead of society at large. It is more complicated but I tried to put it in a macro level nutshell...

I am Rajput. Sometimes, I blame my ancestors to have such an honour based war which costed them dearly. They had code of honour such as they can't kill enemy king if he is unarmed, there are more such codes which costed them a big loss. Wherever the invaders were cruel, barbaric. They didn't care of such things. They had to conquer and destroy the native culture, rape the women, kill the children and destroy the towns. But I can also proudly say that Our ancestors were a high value humans. After conquering, they never touched any women, children.

[@vkitet]

Couple of additions here. The concept of Jowhar (female self immolation) came in later during the rajput era, when they started defending against Is**mic invaders. Early days of Rajput warfare did not see the need for such acts. The Rajput confederacy was merely how we classify them today for academic convenience. The Rajputs never managed to see themselves as a confederacy or even see themselves as a single "Rajput" cultural identity. Different clans had their own identity, not similar to that of the other Rajputs. They never managed to create an empire.

[@adarshsingh1745]

Gurjara pratihar was a rajput Empire and even before that the Guptas and the Mauryans. But rajput words were not in use at that time. They were called 'rajanya' then.

[@ReligioCritic]

​@@adarshsingh1745 Even Lord Ram was called Rajputra(later the word might have become Rajput). I'm convinced that Rajputs are Vedic Kshatriyas. Also, the first instance of Jauhar happened when the last Hindu ruler of Sindh(modern day Pakistan) died fighting Arab invaders, later his wife fought the war but soon she realized that her defeat was inevitable so she along with other women of her palace decided to commit Jauhar because the Arabs were known to take women as sex slaves. The second instance was ofcourse the jauhar of Maharani Padmavati.

@@tawab.offical774 Proof that this claim is false. FALSE: Even when Britain officially declared a famine, Churchill exported 70,000 tonnes of rice to the UK. Rice continued to be transported even when London denied India’s viceroy’s urgent requests for 1 million tonnes of emergency wheat supplies TRUTH: While it is true that Churchill was Prime Minister of the UK during the 1943 Bengal Famine, the claim that he exported 70,000 tonnes of rice to the UK during that time has been disputed by historians. In fact, there is evidence to suggest that rice exports from India to the UK actually decreased during the famine. According to a report by the British Library, the British government did continue to export rice and other grains from India during the famine, but the amount exported was relatively small compared to overall production levels. There is evidence that rice from Bengal was indeed sent to Indian army soldiers who were fighting against the Japanese during World War II. According to historian Madhusree Mukerjee, in her book "Churchill's Secret War: The British Empire and the Ravaging of India during World War II," some of the rice that was exported from Bengal during the famine was used to feed Indian troops fighting in Burma and other areas of Southeast Asia. Mukerjee writes: "Rice did continue to leave Bengal during the famine, and it was destined in part for military stocks, which included Indian army depots in Burma and Calcutta. The shipments of rice to the army came from the districts that were not affected by the famine..." Regarding the claim that London denied India's viceroy's requests for emergency wheat supplies, there is evidence to suggest that the situation was more complex than that. In a letter to Churchill, the viceroy of India requested emergency wheat supplies, but also acknowledged that it would be difficult to transport such large quantities during wartime. Additionally, there were concerns about the logistics of distributing the supplies once they arrived in India, as well as the potential impact on the UK's own food supplies. Overall the claim that he exported 70,000 tonnes of rice to the UK and denied urgent requests for wheat supplies is not fully supported by historical evidence. theowp.org/institutional-failure-churchills-policies-responsible-for-1943-bengal-famine-study/

Im sure Im not the first to make this comparison, but this sounds extremely similar to medieval Europe.

Love it, Indian history is a mystery to me

[@friendlyatheist9589]

Indian history is fascinating and incredible..from greeks to huns from maratha to sikh from mongol to persians. It is one of the most underrated region when it comes to history. It's so fascinating to know how greeks and indian rulers not just fought but actually worked with each other. Greeks converted to Buddhism here which was interesting to me.

Every Mughal Emperor was born in a Rajput womb, the Rajput kings sold out their sisters and daughters to foreign Islamic invaders solely to keep their position, When the Sikhs fought for freedoms and justice not only for Sikhs but for Hindus as well the Rajputs happily oppressed their Hindu subjects brutally on behalf of the Mughals. When the Marathas were fighting back the foreigners and saving India the Rajputs attacked Maratha and Sikh liberators then turned tail and ran into the British Empires arms, their history is a history of turning their backs on Indians and saving their own skin by selling their daughters to Turks, Persians and Arabs.

​​@@heyquitstealingmymoves6538 nah we don't our history is more glorious than of rajputs ,if you remember orignally kshatriya worshipped indra , rajput worshipped kul devis which proof rajput are not original kshatriya Rigveda which is oldest scriptures described pakhta kshatriya ( which are actually enemies to rajput 😂 , pakhtun people ,in Vedas they are described kshtriyas ) The Vedic age kshatriya are mostly given up their kshatriya-hood taken up herder or agriculture work Like rigveda mentioned abhira yaduva kshatriya ( who form highest obc population caste Ahir yadav, scholar confirm Ahir is prakrit term original word for Ahir yadav is abhira yaduva )

In terms of emphasis on practicing a code of honour and ethics, Rajput society, atleast historically, could draw a parallel in the Samurai class of Japan where the code was more 'codified', so to speak, into what is known as Bushido.

[@bbsingh7554]

Ikr.... I just commented this. Bushido code of honour of Samurais.

[@skyhigh9243]

As a rajput i have always heard some old sayings of rajput households specially from my mother , one of them being ' if you are a rajput boy of age above 16 then it's a disgrace not having being achieved veergati in ranbhumi ' ( an old saying of medieval era i suppose ) ...and many more...wars have always been glorified in Rajput culture.

Origins of Rajput we'll explained.great job.

[@lonelydismal]

Modern india is a empire itself , well most rajputs , i like my family were eroded from power by the republic, slowly steadily, taking the power from us Anyways we are still loyal to the nation , loyalty is the key feature of a rajput, the supreme commander of modern indian armed forces is a rajput, the defence minister too , their is a military contingent of rajputs, called rajputana rifles , Our motto is. वीर भोगया वसुंधरा Or the brave deserves to live
