One thing we have been very clear:-

As long as there is Ideological or Religious Dogmas imposed onto Rajput Identity as well as it's Studies (History, Sociology etc);we will remain trapped in this visciuous circle.
Our History won't be different from Amarchatra Katha fables—
— The Reason Rajput history doesn't command the respect (respect from even misusage) is because it is always written from the ideological agendas of Left-Right , unlike Mongols, Ahoms, Gorkhas, Pashtun, AngloSaxons or Norsemen. —
— As a result, the history of all the latter groups is written keeping in mind that latter are "Ethnic Groups".
While Rajput history is reduced to being a history of just a "service/occupational caste", and herein ideologies are imposed.
This has hampered us a lot—
— This has denied us funding, unlike in the case of "Ethnic grps", who hv Independent Depts & Chairs even in Western Univ dedicated to them. There's a lot of Gov level funding.

Further, since Dogmas & Platitudes are kept out, History is written beyond mere AmarChitraKatha style—
— A holistic approach is given not just to their Military history, their evolution over vissisitudes of time, their Folklores, their Folksongs, their Political past & present since they are accepted as Clan-based kinship groups (even though they have their own dogmas) but dogmas—
— aren't imposed onto their history.

Compare it to Rajput history, which is reduced to "Hindu caste ie occupational group" by external vested interests but also but also by insular Rajput writing that is yet to embrace Modern Historiography & Sociology —
—& sorry, Idealistic Dharmic Parables & Platitudes cannot make up for that loss.

Then no doubt ones you deny the Exhaustive relation between Clan and Ethnonym (which includes both "pure" Rajput and their several subgroups - Rawna, Karadiya etc),even make yourself vulnerable to —
— Appropriations.
Hence, you remain easy victims to "alienate but appropriate" tactics of present ruling/powerful classes.

This also shows up in your reluctance to rise for your own current sociopolitical & economic struggles since you are "just obliged to serve others".
— hence, unlike other Clan-based Races, your history is ideologically vandalized, academically neglected & politically appropriated।

Your present struggles are ideologically misled (eg Amu Karni Sena), socially alienated & politically easily silenced since—
— since every massmovement depends on the Public Image of it & it's Org. Yet since we are already misled, unorganised & lack homework, our movements become public jokes. Maybe bcz you hv always remained restricted to a grp where merely posting the term "Dharmic" a 100 times—
— appeals you and talking through balls than brains by twitching your moustache gives you a thrill...but for the larger public,it's a big NO.

then you present ur history in AmarChitraKatha style by peppering the word "Dharmic" all over d pages — but it hs no intellectual value—
— Hence, read & widen Horizon. Write History & SocioPolitical issues using the academic methodology rather than just pepper an idealistic banal literature with the term "Dharmic" to just force others to appreciate it.
Don't overuse words like "Dharm" to sell mediocrity.
