What they are showing or not, it's for "BOTH" the clans.
But speaking openly and in such a sense, does not convey a correct meaning. 😕
Regarding Rajputs, they were inducted by Akbar in his service HIMSELF, and he spent 1556-1580 almost 24 years in controlling them, when he was in his PRIME..!..And, his could finally settle in 1585-86.
I won't write more. But something on POLITICAL FRONT only.
I feel the CV's are portraying "serial" Akbar with DECENCY on this political front ATLEAST .
Infact, they have shown him fine till now.
As for Rajputs winning the land for Akbar, it was the Rajputs who assisted in the most dangerous campaigns, especially from North-West. . Be it Gujarat, Bengal, Kabul, Lahore, etc. etc. more are there.
Later, many MAIN CRITICAL subahs were under their subedari.
BTW, Rajputs and Akbar relations are well known.
6 generations of Amer clan fought for Mughals, despite Aurangzeb's indifference to an extent.
As for jawai sa,😉 it was Bhagwan Das who saved his life in Battle of Paronkh, risking his own life.
Also, another Rajput Raja also lost his life in this battle as he fell short of supplies, but did not leave his front.
And, later in 1574-75 around it was Man Singh who repeated this act.
In the battle of Gujarat/Sarnaala, it was Bhagwan Das who stood side by side with Akbar in entire battle, and Man Singh who led the forces.
Finally, atleast they were better than following:
Adham Khan
Munim Khan
Shahabuddin
Maham Anga
Mahachuchak Begum
Mirza Hakim
Abul Maali
More are there, don't remember now.😆
Atleast Akbar got loyalty in Rajputs, which he RARELY got in his most close relations.😆
I have more examples, but this was just to highlight some neglected points.😉
I have no issues,😆 but writing all this today, because this was NOT first such type comment, which i read today, and left a bad taste.😕
