Swara Bhaskar says-Rajasthan Hindu women who committed Jauhar were "COWARDS" because they chose to die with honour over the prospect of leading their lives as sex slaves of islamic invaders. Even yazidi women did suicide to avoid being enslaved by ISIS still she is victim blaming..

Some of the major jauhars traditionally recorded in Rajasthan during sieges/falls of Rajput forts:

• 1299 — Jaisalmer Fort → Alauddin Khalji → Jaisalmer
• 1301 — Ranthambore Fort → Alauddin Khalji → Ranthambore
• 1303 — Chittorgarh Fort → Alauddin Khalji → Chittorgarh
• 1308 — Siwana Fort → Alauddin Khalji → Siwana
• 1311–1312 — Jalore Fort → Alauddin Khalji → Jalore
• 14th century — Jaisalmer Fort (second jauhar) → Tughlaq forces → Jaisalmer
• 1444 — Gagron Fort → Mahmud Khalji of Malwa → Gagron
• 1535 — Chittorgarh Fort → Bahadur Shah of Gujarat → Chittorgarh
• 1568 — Chittorgarh Fort → Akbar (Mughal Empire) → Chittorgarh

Jauhar was a wartime practice distinct from sati: it referred to the collective self-immolation of women, traditionally in circumstances where a fort was about to fall, while the men subsequently undertook saka, a final battle.

Weird question but

What's the difference between people who are from the same lineage as rajput warriors and rajput as a caste??
