The narrative that any group survived the 17th to 19th centuries entirely "on their own" is a medieval fantasy. Absolutely no one survived without alliances. Every major power, whether Rajput, Maratha, Sikh, or Jat, signed strategic treaties with the Mughals, the British, or each

Every kingdom has its tragic days, mocking one while ignoring the other is hypocritical. Look at the Battle of Panipat (1761). Thousands of non-combatant families and pilgrims were brought to a massive war zone. When the lines broke, they had no fort walls or the choice of

@MadhavVaruna We deeply respect Maratha history, its legendary heroes, and the fight for Swarajya. We expect the same respect for the warriors who shed blood for a millennium. But if you choose to mock the sacred ashes of those brave queens, people will surely hand you a mirror. Respect the

Can't reduce our sacred, millennia-old traditions to a trauma response. The claim that Hindu night weddings and the carrying of swords were born out of fear of Mughal raids is not just historically illiterate, it is a profound insult to our ancestors and our Shastras. Let’s
This is literally because of Mughal invasions where they would come and kidnap/rape the Hindu bride and steal the gold. So our people would do the wedding in the middle of the night in a hushed manner while the world was asleep. This is also why the men carry swords - to fight if

@NigerianThakurs with half-baked history from 1804 to judge a 1500-year-old legacy is the definition of a bad-faith agenda. Calling Rajputs "Mughalputs" or "antonyms to civilization" while conveniently ignoring a millennium of sacrifice reveals a deep, deliberate ignorance of
Marathas brutally stomped Udaipur family, james tod writes about brutal treatment by Holkar toward Udaipur royal family in 1804 . Holkar first demanded 40 lakhs , on the inability of Maharana paying such large amount , Holkar stripped off the royal palace of everything that

In the heart of Jaipur, nearly 250 families keep the timeless art of Kathputli alive — stitching colour, carving tradition, and weaving stories of Rajput valor and folk wisdom into every string they pull. राजस्थान की यह विरासत सचमुच अद्भुत है. @gssjodhpur

Maharaja Sardar Singhji died at just 31, yet left a legacy of stone and steel that has lasted over a century. Comparison is the thief of joy, but in your case, it’s just a display of poor historical knowledge. Respect the legacy. #Rajputana

He put Indian Polo on the global map. Jodhpur became the southern home of the sport under his patronage. And while you mock him, the people of Jodhpur still shop, eat, and live around the Ghantaghar (Clock Tower) he built. He defined the city's pulse.

All respects to Maharaja Kameshwar Singh Ji, who was known for his support for BHU and the 1962 Sino-Indian War when he donated 600 kg gold to the national defence fund. All salutes, but comparing a ruler by a photo from his teenage years? That’s not just ignorant; it’s lazy.
