Any story that you read about Sikhs winning against Mughals were simply small battles, never a war.
Rajputs were nothing more than vassals of mighty Mughal rulers.
Both Rajputs & Jats fought on behalf of Mughals on various occasions. They had no choice if they had to survive.
Rajputs even adopted Muslim customs & traditions to mix more closely with Mughals. In Punjab, Hindus adopted Muslim culture and Muslim languages like Arabic & Persian in order to survive.
Hindus were purchased & sold in slavery all across Northern India as early as 1800 by local Muslim rulers. Muslim rulers would carry out regular raids in Hindu dominated villages as early as 1800 and carry off most attractive Hindu women as Sex slaves. Men were castrated & sold as eunuchs to guard harems, where Hindu women were kept as sex slaves.
Until Banda Singh Bahadur, Sikhs were no threat to Mughal rulers. While Rajputs were nothing more than vassals.
Sikhs NEVER EVER defeated the Mughals , neither did Rajputs. Nevertheless Rajputs were military far superior to Sikhs. Both Rajputs & Sikhs were crushed by Mughals.
Both Punjab & Sindh were always considered a backyard by rulers of Afghanistan, since the times of Mohammed Ghori & Ghazni.
Only time Sikhs had any success against Mughals was under Banda Singh Bahadur.
Indians must read :
One & only Marathas DEFEATED the Mughals and ended Mughals rule in India. North India including Punjab was freed from Mughal & local Muslim rule by - The Marathas.
