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".
Right 👍
someone put a big chip on your shoulder.
Very aptly put
Cmon 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Stop your bullshit in the battle of alaboi Rajput have attacked us from behind along with Mughals win but again run away and again in the battle of saraighats both Mughals n Rajputs were defeated
I'm a rajput. Even today our elders teach us to continue to live by the same code of honour though it's diluted in mordern times. The rajputs would never burn farmlands or harm peasants or even attack an enemy behind their backs. However this "code" did cost us several wars so it's quite criticised today😅
All human Empires great or small must and will end sooner or later. Better a lost empire known for its Honor then a lost empire known for its injustice.
@@admiralgeneral4466 BS. You either are man of honor and show chivalry or you aren't. The declaration of who's ones enemy changes from individual to individual and from day to day.
The Rajputs where wise in how they did it. Your statement on the other hand is nothing but shortsighted.
@@NotUnymous if someones long sightedness causes the nation a millenia of humiliation by foreign religious zealots, mass murders, uncountable forcible conversions at the point of sword, molestation of women...etc.
Then im quite happy with shortsightedness.
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.
@@admiralgeneral4466 if rajputs could have the same policy like Bappa rawal, they could have been unbeatable.
But still they somehow managed to save our culture and religion.
Many of the cultures from Arabia to Afghanistan and Sindh got extinct and we will never know about it due to Islamic invaders.
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
@@adarshsingh1745 rajputs really deserve appreciation for holding off them from 712 - 1192( 500 yrs).
Actually agar partition aur 30 saal baad hoti to entire indian punjab , haryana aur west up meerut, rampur bareilly tak sab pakistan me chala jaata.
In ilakaon me muslim population almost 35% ho chuke they by tham time.
Uparwala ke megerbani kai ki 1947 me hi batwara ho gya tha. Aur pehle partition hota to aur zyada land india me aata.

@@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.

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.
"great deal of divided opinion" = 100%
lots of very positive and negative opinions concerning them....I tried my best to hopefully give an impartial view :)
@@EpimetheusHistory Wait, why are they disliked?
@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...
“ those damn rajputs! The lazy goofs couldn’t even stop the Muslims, timurids, or mongols”
I mean if your not a decentralized confederacy of petty kingdoms holding back the superpowers of your day why even exist?
The interesting thing was that every time India lost to foreign invaders it was due to a deficit in tactics/technology on India's part.
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.
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.

W genes, I am from Ara though. And I am proud to say that veer kunwar singh is still in our hearts, although I am not a Rajput (Bhumihar Babhan).

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.
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.
@@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.

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.
That's the main reason why prithviraj failed

Im sure Im not the first to make this comparison, but this sounds extremely similar to medieval Europe. Big empire collapses and after a long era of chaos, a militaristic aristocracy of mixed origin rises to power, devoloping feudalism, where the decentralisation of that system allows the region to prosper despite the constant war.

Akbar succeeded in persuading them to form an alliance by forming policies favourable to Hinduism, he even tried to start a new religion ( din e ilaahi) where muslim and Hindus can live peacefully with each other and will be treated same. Later aurangzeb abolished all his policies and the treaty got violated. There after rajputs started war against Aurangzeb which resulted in rajputs winning most of the Mughal territories till Delhi
Europe and India,
both regions endured powerful Persian Empire before Christ,
Alexander the great, from Macedonia to India's present day frontiers (his successors Indo-Greeks would last until 1st century AD)
Pax Romana is synonymous with economic prosperity in India specially in south,
Scourge of Huns and disintegration of superpower empires
rise of fiefdom in both regions,
both regions endured rise of Islam(Arabs),
Indian frontiers fell to Turkic invaders and Byzantine lost to Seljuk turks around same time (Indus basin and Anatolia- territories permanently lost by India and Europe)
Resurgence in Europe Renaissance, India at its peak economically (Indians don't regard this as an achievement because it was during Muslim Mughal rule)
With the arrival of English East India Company the trend reverses
Thanks to my dad, I have been introduced to our culture and values at early age and we were remined very often, about the sacrifices made by our ancestors. Our values and honor are taken as an example of upmost standards of human beings. Proud Rajput!
Jai ho
No Rajput who considers himself Hindu is a warrior rather he is lowcast Hindu bheels. Accept the path of Allah to be considered as Rajput

I have a question for you I thing you might be aware of the invasion and expansion done by the muslim empire,they used to clear up and convert whole population of the country into islam like they did in northern and central africa etc.
So how there is 100 crore hindus in India still alive,in a country where there was a muslim empire how?? Can you answer this!!
Rajput Kings like
Raja Man Singh King of Amber Jaipur constructed many temples in Varanasi Odisha west bengal
Out of 84 ghats in Varanasi 1 ghat is still named after him
Raja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur when aurangzeb ordered to destroy temples he was posted in Kabul he ordered to destroy all the mosque of kabul (when this msg reached aurangzeb he took back his order) these type of tactics by Rajput kings were also a vital part for saving hindu religion
And there are many more
So if you can't respect them than atleast keep your fucking mouth shut!!
Excellent video! There’s a lot about Indian history that gets painted over-a lot of details, nuances, and exceptions. Thanks for taking the time to make a balanced video on a complex subject. I’d love to see more videos on ancient India, like on the Tamil Kings or the Mauryan Empire.

Listen stop disrespecting us who told you that Rajputs gave daughters to Mughal let me clarify you the history the other cast women they used to take with out marriage and keep them for free and some time send back for usage
With Rajput they built respectful relation not all clans married their daughters to Mughals only few did
So next time donot disrespect
We are khokhar Rajput of Punjab we never gave any rajput khokhar woman to Delhi sultan or Mughals we fought them both we fought ghazni bare head and feat showing our bravery we killed ghauri our ancestor raja gul chander was main person who made khilji raj end in Delhi
Raja jasrat khokhar taxed Delhi sultan Mubarak shah and also ruled both Delhi and Lahore Khayber Kashmir haryana Khayber
We fought Sikh as well both in salt range Lahore and other parts of Punjab
We Rajput khokhar had many independent rajdhanians till 18th century Sikh ranjit Singh also respected our bravery and said minu rab tu bad khokhran tu dar lagda(after God I fear khokhar rajputs )
We regard Sikh ruled for 30/40 years but donot forget our rule on Punjab for thousands of years and still in Pakistan Rajput khokhar Andy Bhatti Rajput are most power full in Punjab

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.

राजपूत ( राजपुत्र )शब्द के प्राचीन उल्लेख
एते रुक्सरथानाम राजपुत्रा महारथाः ( महाभारत 7 . 112 . 2 )
राजपूत शब्द नवीन नही है, यह संस्कृत के राजपुत्र शब्द का अपभ्रंस है ।
महाभारत के बाद भी, कौटिल्य के अर्थशास्त्र में , हर्षचरित्र ओर कादम्बरी ( बाण ) में भी राजपूत उर्फ राजपुत्र शब्द का उल्लेख हुआ है । यहां तक कि अभिलेखों में भी राजपूत शब्द का प्रयोग हुआ है -- विक्रम संवत 1287 के तेजपाल अभिलेख में भी राजपूत उर्फ राजपुत्र शब्द का उल्लेख हुआ है , ओर इस अभिलेख में राजपूत शब्द का प्रयोग " प्रतिहारो " के लिए ही हुआ है ।
(" भालिभाडा प्रभति ग्रामेसी संतिष्ठमान श्रीप्रतिहारवंशीय सर्वराजपुत्रेश्च ।। ")
इस तेजपाल मंदिर के अभिलेख में भी राजपुत्र / राजपूत शब्द का प्रयोग हुआ है ।
राजपूत हिन्दी का शब्द है। यह संस्कृत शब्द राजपुत्र शब्द का अपभ्रंश है। यह भाषाविज्ञान से प्रमाणित होता है की पुत्र शब्द का अपभ्रंश 'पूत' है। प्राचीन ग्रन्थों मे राजपूतों के लिय राजपुत्र, रजन्य, बाहुज आदि शब्द भी मिलते हैं। यजुर्वेद जो सायं ईश्वरकृत रचना है मे भी राजपूतों की खूब चर्चा हुई है।

महाराज विक्रमादित्य के कवि अमरसिंघ अपनी रचना अमरकोश मे राजपूत या रजन्य के निम्नलिखित पर्यायवाची शब्द बताते हैं।
भूधारमिषिक्त राजन्यों बाहुज क्षत्रियो विरोट
राजा राट पार्थिव क्षमाभृनृय भूप महिक्षितः
अर्थात मूर्धाभिषिक्त, रजन्य, बहुज, क्षत्रिय, विरोट, राजा, पार्थिव, क्षमाभृनृय भूप और महीक्षित यह सभी क्षत्रियों के ही पर्यायवाची शब्द हैं। इसके बाद पुराणों मे सूर्य और चन्द्र वंश के राजपूतों के वंश हैं, की उत्पत्ति भी क्षत्रियों से मानी गयी हैं
📖
चंद्रादित्य मनुनांच प्रवाराः क्षत्रियाः स्मृतः
..... ब्रह्मावैवर्त पुराण, 10-15
📖
इसके अतिरिक्त कालीदास के माल्विकाग्निमित्रम कौटिल्य के अर्थशास्त्र अश्वघोष कृत सौंदरानंद तथा बाण के हर्ष चरित मे भी राजपुत्र शब्द का उल्लेख किया गया है। कवि बाण लिखते हैं -
अभिजात राजपुत्र प्रेष्यमाण कुप्यमुक्ता कुल कुलीन कुल पुत्र वाहने
... सप्तम उच्छ्वास पृष्ठ 364
अर्थात सेना के साथ आभिजात्य राजपूतों द्वारा भेजे गए पीतल पत्रों से मढ़े वाहनों मे कुलीन राजपुत्रों की स्त्रियाँ जा रही हैं ।
📖
ॠगवेद में
‘कस्य धतधवस्ता भवथ: कस्य बानरा,।
राजपुत्रेव सवनाय गच्छद’॥
📖
यजुर्वेद में
‘पश्वी राजपुत्रो गोपायति राजन्यों वै प्रजानामधिपति रायुध्रुंव आयुरेव
गोपात्यथो क्षेत्रमेव गोवायते’॥
📖
📖
तथा ॠगवेद में ही ''ब्राह्मणोस्य मुखमासीद्वाहू राजन्य कृत्य:'', के गहरे काले शब्द यह प्रकट करते हैं कि 'राजपुत्र' तथा 'राजन्य' समानार्थक रुप में प्रयुक्त हुवे हैं ||

That was brilliant. So clear - your voice, the narration, the names and dates, the maps and so much information. I've been to India three times for a total of 16 months and I love the country and this was lovely to watch and learn more about India's fascinating history.
Thank you very much. Subbed & liked. Cheers!
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.
@@debodatta7398 Indeed. It was implied in the video that the Rajput were situational and opportunistic.
All history is pretty brutal to someone.
I have the greatest admiration for the Sikh people - I always sought out a Sikh when I needed help in Northern India.
Thank you for your response. Sat Sri Aghal?
@@kaoskronostyche9939 lol he is a bot. Commenting same thing every where. But the fact is rajputs have never married their own family members to Mughals. The one who was married to Akbar was a Persian dasi(servant) of rajputs and they disguised her as their own and married akbar.
@@adarshsingh1745 And now I don't know who to believe. Thanks.
@@kaoskronostyche9939 this misunderstanding comes from the book of 'antiques and annals of Rajasthan by James todd' which he wrote in the 19th century. He made several mistakes in his book and wrote a girl named 'Jodha' married Akbar. But neither in Akbarnama ( Akbar self written book) and neither in Jahangirnama ( Akbar's son book). Is there anyone named 'Jodha'.
This has already been rejected by modern historians. The name 'Harka bai' was mentioned in Jahangirnama. Kachwaha rajputs used to call this female servants as 'harku'(later named as harkabai as mentioned in Jahangirnama).
She was a Persian servant who grew up in the Rajput States and knew all their traditions. She was married to Akbar. The Afghan sources and mughals sources also mentioned that they doubted it was the real daughter of the rajputs as no one was sad and cried of his departure ( a common thing in Hindus when their daughters get married). Also the hindu rituals were not followed by the rajputs in that wedding.
Amazing video!
Best part about Rajputs was- as soon as you think youve defeated them they somehow manage to come back
Really appreciate your research on Indian history... Very awesome videos..👌
Veer Bhogya Vasundhara,Jai Rajputana!
🙏🏼⚔️❤️
So good to see a new videos do love them
I belong to Rathod Rajput clan of Marwad Rajasthan .Today Rajputs are happy about their rich heritage and culture and happy to serve the nation in armed forces and politics and also Rajputs uphold dharma / justice in civil life and are protectors of Sanatana Dharma / hinduism . Thanks for a nice documentary on Rajputs 🤔😃😃😎👍⛳⚔️ .
❤ same here
I am Sengar Rajput🚩 🙏
Jai Rajputana 🚩🙏
Very informative video,sir.
Love your 10-20 minute timeline videos with your detailed maps. Wish you'd upload them to other platforms though.
This video would’ve come in handy for me two or three months ago when I realized the history timeline was lacking much info about the rajputs . I didn’t even realize they ruled multiple states and weren’t just some giant coalition
Akbar failed to capture mewar . Maharana Pratap defeated mughal army in battle of dewair re conquered large part of mewar and near area's
@@titu2435 dewair was new bettle made by new right wing historians after Haldighati paartpa ran in junglee n started gurilla welfare not any 1 on 1 fight with Mughals n akbar had 3 lakh + force he sent his sala jaai singh in bettle of Haldighati in front of small army n now right wing making new bettles lol 😂 partap fought gullia war after Haldighati not any direct fight jee wwas. In jungle all time hiaa son fought this bettle n lost bdly
@@truthsek lol 😂 jali na all have primary sources 😂 Islamists just crying
@@titu2435 it's reality shajhan jhangir mother was Rajput nhi to last mai kuch princey states desert mai bchi vo b na hoti tomars ka khi b rajput nhi likha contamparory source mai na hi yashodhrman ka 😂 Rajput is a title of different castes likha khass,gond , gujjrs n isne Jaamu mai tomar dikha rkhe😂 delhi wale tomsrs ki anadpur capital hi tomar gujjars ki village hai nd as pas 150+ villages b tomar Gujjars ke pritviraj Chauhan Father was mentioned as gujjr as well even Rajnath Singh says that rajputs came from gujjars
@@titu2435 n aall States ruled by muslims from Afghanistan to Bangladesh 😂 Mughal empire after that only Sikhs, Marathas,jats fought Mughals n fought against Britishers but nobody succeed at last ... Afghanis cut Britishers into pieces
Rajput with Pakistani origin from UK. Love to see videos like this, the fact my lineage converted to Islam through marriage instead of war is still a pride point for a lot of my family in Pakistan. Jai Rajputana
Every low caste Hindu Muslim Sikh Maratha now claims to be Rajput....
You claim to be arm of Purusha , Your head will be cut by DharmaRaja ...
@@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 )
@@heyquitstealingmymoves6538 the Suryavanshi mentioned as non Aryans from vedic scriptures they are described root origin from Ikshwaku linage which probably of Dravidian origin ( again suryvanshi the root Suryavanshi people are not rajput they were Dravidians warriors who they gave tough match to kshatriya later they add up in kshatriya- hood)
@@heyquitstealingmymoves6538 rajput has no history of original kshatriya their was genetic evidence show they the morden day Chouhan has higher genetic closeness to white huns who Invaded India , due to they were nomadic they easily accepted Indian culture as their were warriors class they became kshatriya
Nah, you are all Jatts that got to the higher royal rank and began claiming to be Rajputs
