A Maratha Behind the Daulatabad Rebellion of 1366 🚩
In 1366, during the reign of Muhammad Shah Bahmani, while the Bahmani Sultanate was engaged in a war against Vijayanagar, Bahram Khan Mazandarani, the deputy governor of Daulatabad, rose in rebellion at the instigation of a Maratha named Kondba Deva. The revolt was further joined by several nobles of Berar who were related to Bahram Khan. Although the rebellion was eventually suppressed, its leaders managed to escape to Gujarat.

The famous Rajputana slogan, “Jiska Raaj Uska Poot” (Rajpoot), could not be better illustrated than by this video. Be sure to watch it until the very end!

Rajput ancestors used fabricated Suryavanshi - Chandravanshi genealogies to dress political power in divine legitimacy. Their descendants now mistake royal propaganda for biological truth. Your ancestors’ myths don’t make you god-born; they expose how power manufactures pedigree.

Jambavan almost became an ancestor of the Rajputs, but they got confused about how they would grow that much body hair. The Jethwa Rajputs, however, supposedly grew tails and became descendants of Lord Hanuman!

Anecdote of Agni Vansh legitimacy is more crazier them surya-chandra vansh.
I read long back don't remember the reference that says it's Vishwamitra who did Agnikula ritual and in some it's Vashistha.

King Javansat drank divine water, got pregnant, and gave birth after 10 months. The Rathore Rajput dynasty’s origin story really said, “Why find a wife when you can become one?” Biology left the chat, and dad took over the delivery room!
Watch this video till the end.

For a minute if we consider Javansat was a transgender . So he isn't a father but a mother..

Rajputs will tell you only what suits their narrative. But you’re not stupid; there are plenty of online portals where you can read authentic history. Otherwise, these Rajputs will continue their ancestors’ tradition of turning even the most humiliating defeats into victories.

Auqat I Alamgir
Shah Abbas II taunted Aurangzeb for being an impotent and weak ruler, criticizing his failure to suppress the resistance of Hindu rulers. He also mocked Aurangzeb for adopting the title Alamgir (Conqueror of the World)

Two Maratha de facto rulers whose names you may or may not have heard of, but Rajputs can never forget them. The very mention of these two names was enough to rob them of their sleep. Wouldn’t you like to know who these two men were?

Missed this post, Bhils? Let my video put it into perspective: the Bhils were trustworthy and true to their word, unlike the Rajputs.
The Bhils may have only known James Tod’s propaganda glorifying Rajputs. It’s high time they learned just how superior they were to the Rajputs.
Rajputs want to elevate their character by Genealogies. But genealogies couldn't hide their moral bankruptcy and wretchedness.
Colonial observers considered castes like Bheels far morally superior to Rajputs, despite their reputation as thieves and savages.
Their word was considered more trustworthy. They were regarded as franker and more cheerful. Their women were treated considerably better and had greater influence.
Although Bhils could kill without hesitation during blood feuds or raids, they were not generally vindictive or inhospitable.
British officers could travel into Bhil territory for hunting and fishing without military protection, relying on Bhils themselves as guides and companions.

I completely agree with @guinese’s post. But do you know which caste used to entertain Mughal emperors through flattery and sycophancy? Anyway, there’s a hint at the end of the video. Watch the full video and comment below with the name of that caste, if you can.
Flattery was deeply ingrained in Eastern societies, particularly in Eastern courts.
According to the 17th-century European traveller Niccolao Manucci, who visited Mughal India, what a European monarch might regard as ridicule or mockery would be received by a Mughal emperor as genuine praise.
Mughal emperors were fully aware of the insincerity of such flattering remarks. Nevertheless, they accepted these false praises as a form of entertainment and treated them as if they were genuine assessments of their own worth.

I swear to God, the day paleogeneticists uncover the actual origins of Rajputs, they’ll say, God knows how many tribes contributed to their ancestry. These people can hardly claim descent from one single baap!
