Answer Posted / jaydeepsinh
The Rajputs were none other than ancient Kshatriyas. This is fact.
After the conquest of Sindh, The Muslim Arabs fought many times with Indian Kings but they had to face the mighty Pratihara empire which was more than a match for them. As a result, they could gain no more territory in India for 300 years adn even their hold on Sindh was very feeble & subject to mercy of Pratiharas.
Even before the Pratiharas, Yasovarman & Lalitaditya most likely defeated the Arabs but this requires further research before considering it as irrefutable fact.
In the 10th century, the empire of Pratihar started losing power, and their fuedatories became independent. None of them however became strong enough to force others to submit to them & create an empire. The Shahis of Afghanistan & Pakistan at that time were likely the most powerful Indian kings in North India during the time of Mahmud Ghazni.
Mahmud Ghazni was a very powerful emperor who ruled over a very extensive empire. People seem to forget this quite conveniently. The Rajput kings with whom he fought were not so powerful.
However, Ghazni could gain no territory in india beyond Punjab.
For the next 175 years, his successors fought many wars with Indian kings but could not win any territory. Only in the time of Mohammad Ghori, who had destroyed the power of Ghaznis, by fate northern India came under him.
Even then, the Delhi Sultanate never had much power beyond a few hundred miles beyond Delhi for their entire history. During their time, there were powerful Rajput kingdoms but their history is not taught to us.
Only during the time of Mughals did the power of the Muslims extended over a very large extent in India.
Hence, it is false that Rajputs were repeatedly defeated by Turks. They lost some very important battles but they also won many times.
