two usable quotes that came up between all the nonsense on the main talkpage:

  • Rajputs served under the British Raj, Bingley recalls "the story of the Queen’s own (Hindu) Rajputs (once the 31st) at Bhurtpore": 'Our troops carried the enemy’s position in gallant style; it was the finest ting I ever saw. Those 8,000 Afghans could not stand our 1200 men for an hour.'; A Matter of Honour, Philip Mason, ISBN 0-333-41837-9, p. 356
  • today, "There are nearly 200 Muslim communities in India which, in many ways, are not yet wholly integrated into the "mainstream" Muslim society. Converted from the tribal or Hindu stock, they retain many features of their earlier life patterns, the system of belief and practices being Islamicised here and there, but retaining many of the clearly discernible features from the past, which they share with people of the same stock who are still in their original faith.", notable among them are Muslim Rajputs. [Review on M.K.A. Siddiqui's 'Marginal Muslim Communities In India', by Mohd. Zeyaul Haque Institute of Objective studies, Delhi] [1]

Fred Bauder 00:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC) muslim rajputs:india has been a place in history where many invaders came ;some settled and some went away.aryans settled here and gave her a new character and civility.rajputs played a significant role in shaping the history of india being a part of aryan family.their political domination was the effect of their superiour skills and statecraft they inherited. later on in history some hindus including some rajputs converted to islam.their conversion could not change their character in a significant way as it did with other people because they had some of the morals cultivated in them what islam already teaches.like being loyal to the group you belong,being firm in morality and ethics, giving respect to the elders, protecting the kith and kin with honor,keeping ones word and promise,capable of being trusted etc.the objectivity that islam has as a religion was a already a part of the rajput culture in someways. so conversion did little to change the lifestyle of the rajputs with exception to some rituals and belief the character remained unchanged.
