Were Rajputs like what The Brahmins to the Marathas Were (Peshwas or Prime Minister) the Rajputs Were To Sikh Empire
True for the sons of Kishor Singh but not for every Rajput Clan.

Other Clans resisted Sikh domination or allied with them according to the situation.

Sikhs under Ranjit had several Hindu Military commander including Rajputs.


Misr Diwan Chand (Khatri Hindu) and Balbhadra Kunwar (Gorkha Commander) claiming Rajput ancestry. But majority of his Army was Sikh.

A small Khanzada community of Rajasthan has a tradition of military service and they are are hardcore Patriots. Many of them won gallantry medals in various Indo - Pak war. I personally know few Khanzada families servings in Army who were my neighbors in Army quarter.


But culturally they ceased to be taken as Rajput.



PS - They still have Hindu names such as Ranjit Khan

Battle of Khatoli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Battle of Khatoli/Ghatoli[1]
Part of Rajput-Afghan wars

Rana Sanga Leader of the Rajput Confederation
Date 1518[1]
Location Khatoli, India
Result Decisive Rajput Victory[1]
Territorial
changes
north eastern Rajasthan annexed by Rana Sanga
Belligerents
Rajput Confederates Lodi dynasty
Commanders and leaders
Rana Sanga (WIA) Ibrahim Lodi
On the death of Sikander Lodi in A.D. 1517, his son Ibrahim Lodi succeeded him. He was engaged in putting down the revolts of his nobles, when news of Rana Sangas encroachments reached him. He prepared an army and marched against Mewar. The Maharana advanced to meet him and the two armies met near the village of Khatoli on the borders of Haravati (Haraoti). The Delhi army could not stand the onslaught of the Rajputs, and after a fight lasting two pahars (5 hours), it gave way and fled, followed by the Sultan himself, leaving a Lodi prince prisoner in the hands of Sanga. The prince was released after a few days on payment of a ransom. In this battle, the Maharana lost an arm by a sword cut, and an arrow made him lame for life.[2][3]

Aftermath[edit]
The resources of Ibrahim were so crippled by this war with Sanga that he could not renew the contest for some time. However, he carefully nursed his desire to be revenged on Maharana Sanga for the disastrous defeat inflicted by the latter at Khatoli. And when the rebellion of Islam Khan, which had assumed serious proportions,was suppressed, the Sultan began to prepare an army to attack Mewar but was once again defeated in the Battle of Dholpur.[4]
