Rise of the Rajputs

our nation has achieved what few conquering empires have ever attempted; the conquest of the Rajputs. Whether Arabs, Turks, or Afghans, the Rajputs have historically resisted the rule of any would-be conquerors.\n\nThe power of the Rajput clans extends far beyond Rajasthan itself, occupying a privileged position throughout northern India. With the Rajput clans now at least nominally accepting our rule, we should consider their future in the our nation. With their extensive reach and influence, not to mention the military might they wield, it may be wise to elevate them to positions of power throughout the realm. This power however could also be turned against us; we could alternatively attempt to break their authority and integrate Rajasthan fully into our nation.
