Question

Give reasons:

The Rajputs fought against the Mughals.

Answer 1

1. With his policy of amicable relations, Akbar secured the cooperation of the Rajputs.
2. However, Aurangzeb could not get the same.
3. Aurangzeb annexed the kingdom of Marwad to the Mughal Empire after the death of Rana Jaswantsingh.
4. However, Durgadas Rathod fought hard against the Mughals and crowned Jaswantsingh’s minor son Ajitsingh as the King of Marwad.

Thus we can see that in order to maintain their independence, the Rajputs fought against the Mughals.
