'Gurjara' was the name of a region. It was ruled by the Chavdas and their feudatories, the Pratiharas. When the Pratihara empire was established, many enemies referred to them by the name 'Gurjara,' though they never used that name themselves.

When the Hunas invaded, they were accompanied by a group known as “Gurjaras” who were probably picked up from near Balochistan or perhaps further. When Hun power fizzled out, the Gurjaras took power and their elites became modern Rajasthan (and most Punjab) Rajputs.

@the_pratihars The power of the Chavdas weakened during the Arab invasions. The "invincible Gurjara" mentioned in the Galak inscription were, in fact, the Chavdas of Bhinmal. It was likely after this that Nagabhata took over the reins of the Chavda kingdom.

@Aindradeva Bro they used to refer us as lord of Gurjaras not Gurjara. Nagabhata 1 first major victory comes against the Gurjaras - Gallaka Inscription.

In the 13th century, avg yearly salary of an infantryman = 20–25 silver coin whereas a cavalryman = 100–110. When Rajputs fought amongst themselves, they had the option to field either 10k cavalry or 40k infantry; it was a numbers game where the side with the greater numbers would prevail. However, this dynamic changed after the Turkic invasions, as the Turks faced no shortage of horses, each soldier in their army possessed two to three horses.

@Aindradeva You are right ofc that infantry remained majority.But that infantry carried longshield bearers in front with massed composite bowmen at the back,along with buckler wielding light infantry

Iconography does not prove anything. While Prithvirãjvijãy describes Prithviraj Chauhan as an excellent archer, this does not establish that his army included horse archers. Cavalry was certainly used, but it played only a supporting role, comprising no more than 10–15% of the force.

@ASingh0819 @Aindradeva Not you the other guy.Gupta army was revolutionary in a way that they were the only native empire to mass use horse archers.The raghuvamsa,the surviving iconography all prove this. The other part was its infantry was majorly equipped with composite bows,not bamboo longbows.

Rana Kshetra Singh conquered the jawar region from the Bhils. It was here that his son, Rana Lakha, discovered tin and silver mines. This discovery proved immensely beneficial for Mewar, paving the way for them to eventually become leaders among the Rajputs.

According to the Kumbhalgarh inscription, Rana Kshetra Singh(1364-82 CE) defeated and captured Zafar Khan, the Tughlaq governor of Gujarat, and also defeated Dilawar Khan Ghori of Malwa near Chittor.

When the Rajputs had their first major encounter with the Turks in 1191, infantry constituted 80% of the Rajput army. Following this, they introduced military reforms that prioritized heavy cavalry. These reforms proved successful during the reigns of Rana Hammir and Rana Lakha, enabling them to repeatedly defeat the Tughlaqs. By the time of Rana Kumbha, the entire army had transitioned into a heavy cavalry force.

@Aindradeva Feudalism and decentralisation aka " samanta system" was one of the major cause as these infantry divisions majorly consist of fedual levies.

@ASingh0819 The military composition of the Gupta Empire's army was similar to that of the Rajputs. Bear in mind that the Gupta Empire collapsed while contending with just a single wave of Huna invasions.

@Aindradeva That exactly was the problem you are tackling deceitful turks who use light cavalry and horse Archers in fact their famous retreat and harass tactics were brutal.. The Gupta Empire has expertise in horse archery during the skandgupta reign.

@Aindradeva No transition to Artillery costed rajputs later.When southern politics have transitioned to Artillery led war pre 1500s,it was criminal to not do it in north.Probably too much feudalism resisted it as Artillery kills feudal order- so resistance

The woman was a Bengali SC btw and it's a common trope among North Indians to associate Bengalis with black magic and vashikaran. This is clearly an ethnic hate crime but the media is never going to explore that tangent for obvious reasons.

Delhi. Dr Manish Gupta, a dermatologist killed his 50 year old maid with a bat & knife. Immediately after this, it was said that he suspected her of practising black magic on his family. Everyone was depressed in family & peace was gone. Manish was found sitting near the body & a pool of blood on his terrace when neighbours called the police. Police initially suspected it is a job done by more people so they questioned 20 year old son but later established that the doctor acted alone. The doctor is claiming insanity now. Typical plan to evade serious punishment. Already things in media that he was depressed, had OCD etc. This particular doctor is dermatologist. That brach is taken by high scorers in medical exam. He can make a plan to save himself & his family. He might be having some money too. Maid is the victim but almost all news sites are not even talking about her & projecting this doctor as some kind of victim by his mental health. I wonder why. I hope she gets justice. If this was really a murder due to black magic, I don’t know what to say about this superstitious society. Don’t encourage any type of superstitious. Malignant or benign.

These figures are ludicrous. In medieval times, the troop strengths of opposing armies were roughly equal. Even an additional 10-15k soldiers could alter the outcome of a battle.
