Fall of Rajputana


Rajputana the name already told us many things like land of Rajputs or a glimpse of Royal History and culture or I say Clash of Royal egos or Battlefield of India where many times kings shed blood with or without reasons.Rajputana always links with individual whom tales of bravery enough to inspire anyone but also there was a other side of coin too Rajputana also was a place where we saw betrayal and egos . So why Rajputana falls Plenty of reaaons.


1.lack of Unity - Whenever some invaders attack india they came through Rajputana and mostly times Rajputs failed to stop them due to lack of unity or either personal issues . So whenever any Afghan Muslim or mogul or any invaders attack india rajputs never try to stop them instead sometimes they join them or try to take advantage of situations so they can defeat other Rajputana Kings


2.Egos and Ambitions- Every king whoever sit on thorne just wanna expand his kingdom and they do whatever to achieve there goals same happens with Rajputs.There egos sometimes taken them to needless battles which makes them weaker and there ambitions also make them blind so sometimes they did brutal things with other kings which shed needless blood.


3.Lack of Political Will - Rajputana was not a single state or run by a council it was divided in plenty of kings and kingdoms and never think about to United whole Rajputana against any invaders.They just wanna rule and that the reason Rajputana never rule india or delhi due there lack of political will.if Rajputana explore there potential like Mughal or other kings then they can easily rule whole india but maybe they wanna we kingmaker like Rana Sanga and invite Babur who established Mughal Dynasty.


4. Social Conditions - During Rajputana times plenty of social practices which weaker them.Rigid caste system,practice of untouchability,Unfair female conditions all lead them to fall of rajputs it easily make them weaker and due to rigid caste system Only kshtirya can take place in Military which weaker there army and due to this they can't win battles there own . Religion also was the reason due to hate towards other religions muslims or turk they create plenty of needless enemy and when they unites with invaders they only increase there armies.


5.Military Weakness- Rajputs always focus on battles and that the reason there were constantly engaged in wars which make them weaker and Due to lack of learning in the art of war they also never accept the technology which was very much importance during that times When babur came india he also came with the technology of cannons which was quite surprise for Rajputs and also they allow to babur to show his superior technology in battles.The fate of India decided by just few battles And most of those battles fought between unprepared and weaker rajputs who never think about these things so there weakness allow to fall of Rajputana.


 6.Lack of Capable Leadership- No offence for Maharana Pratap or Rana Sanga but there was not a single capable Leader who can take whole Rajputana under one umbrella. Whenever Turk or Mughal attacked there was no one capable Leader who can Take stand and no one in Rajputana was capable military leader who can organised them like Mohammad guri and gazanvi No rajputs knows about battles stregies they all did just fought defensive battles only . India produced no remarkable military commander in the hour of gretest danger to Its society and culture. So Rajputana was responsible for every attack over India during to medieval history and if they did better then history of India surely more different then which we read now
