As someone who identifies as Rajput, it’s frustrating to constantly see social media posts—like the ones currently circulating—that attempt to strip away our history by re-labeling iconic figures like Prithviraj Chauhan and Mihir Bhoja under modern caste frameworks.

I feel like we’re in the middle of a "history war" where social media algorithms favor misinformation. These posts aren't just inaccurate; they feel like an attempt to erase our specific historical identity for the sake of modern political leverage.

I’m curious how you all handle this:

1. When you see these claims being spread, do you engage with them, or do you find it’s better to ignore the misinformation?

2. What are the most effective ways to push back with facts and primary sources when these discussions arise?

3. How can we, as a community, better document and share our history to ensure the record remains clear for those who might not know the actual context?

I’m looking to hear your thoughts on how we can better defend the integrity of our history against these revisionist narratives.

Saw this being circulated .Apparently, some people think a black-and-white photo of a later-era ruler somehow invalidates centuries of Rajput history or Samrat Mihir Bhoj's lineage.

It’s funny they use a Bollywood still of Shahid Kapoor as the "expectation." We all know Bollywood doesn't represent us, but using one photo to try and "tauba tauba" an entire community's heritage is a new level of desperate.

Stay grounded in the facts, brothers. Memes don't change DNA or history.
