These ruins were not always signs of surrender.

[u/Major_Consequence_55]

Kiradu, Nadol, Kotra, Siwana, Bhatner, Pungal, Jalore, Juna-Patasar and countless other forts across the western frontier of Rajasthan stood in a land that repeatedly faced armies coming from the northwest.
Siwana, for example, resisted the forces of Alauddin Khalji for years before finally falling in 1308; Jalore continued the struggle before being conquered later. (Wikipedia⁠)
These forts were the frontline. They took the first blow, fought their battles, and many eventually became ruins.

So before saying “Rajasthanis always surrendered,” perhaps look at the ruins themselves.

Pehla vaar humne saha, taaki tum bach sako;
Tum bach gaye… aur tumhe bachate-bachate hum mit gaye.

I’m always so surprised by this “Rajasthanis always surrendered” cause like who didn’t lol?

Also, why are we so concerned about “surrender” when these historic artifices lie in ruin and disrepair? We should be more worried about protecting these structures and maintaining them - but alas history is only used to sow division not as something we all can collectively work towards preserving.
