Why did rajput power decline after the death of aurangzeb?

The Rajputs power and fortunes were basically entwined with Mughals Empire. The Rajputs, tough brave and chivalrous were always at feud with each other , their lack of unity lead to their own downfall, starting with Prithviraj Chauhan - Jaichand feud and continuing to Rana Pratap- Mansingh. Their internal feud were brilliantly exploited by successive invaders( some would say even exploited today by political and religious parties ). As Humayun (and later Akbar) succeeded in wresting back Delhi for a second time from Sher Shah Suri and Hemu, some of the Rajputs decided to throw in their lot with the Mughals. This was a major political (and military) shift as perhaphs Rajputs were beginning to realize that they by themselves were not in position to create an empire and aligning with Mughals would work to their advantage rather then complete decimation. This worked out well somewhat as the Mughals (particularly Akbar, Shahjahan, Jahangir) became more tolerant of Hinduism and to an extent patronised Indian culture and religion (there were incidences contrary to this for example sack of chittor by Akbar). These Mughals also had rajput Mothers and hence were more tolerant to Himduism and Rajputs in particular. This alliance also worked well for Rajputs militarily as they got access to latest military technology (particularly firearms and cannon ) as up until then Indians were using armour and sword to battle invading armies and were losing as a consequence. Mansingh was first to establish firearm factory in Rajputana (india)with skilled technicians from Afganistan. The flip side was that Mughals used Rajputs to subdue other Rajputs such as Rana Pratap who were opposed to their rule. This alliance worked well till Aurangzeb came to power and imposed his islamic vision on India. Aurangzeb rein was marked with constant wars and reballian of which India and Rajputs bore the burnt. The failed Mughal caimpaingn in Assam (against Ahom) was directly blamed at Rajput cheiftains inability. Escape of Shivaji from Aurangzeb was also arranged by Rajput and they had to pay further for that. Aurangzeb rein destroyed the power and regard that rajput held in reigning in any earlier attempts to for religious intolerance. It also marked the rise of Marathas and Sikhs as Rajputs did not offer resistance they had earlier in any expansionist attempts or fundamentalist views being imposed by Mughals. Aurangzeb reign of tyranny led to Mughal empire downfall and with it the downfall of Rajputs as well as they kind of lost their sway over masses in protecting the religion and culture. AUrangzeb also sacked many Rajput Kingdoms during his campaign. The rise of sikhs can be partly attributed to Rajputs failing to contain Aurangzebs tyranny and failing to fill the power vacuum left after Aurangzebs death as Mughal empire crumbled.

Hinduism is one of the ancient religions o the world. Most of its customs and practices are nothing but today's scientific applications.

Marriage rituals are basically performed in front of holy fire. It emphasizes purity. A holy rope is tied around the bride"s neck. It denotes that she should love her husband with all her heart like the rope is tied to the heart. The rope in called "Mangalsuthra". Since the soul lies in the heart, it denotes that the rope is regarded as a token of the bride's involvement with the groom and his family and to treat them with love and respect in the heart. The prayers offered to God differs with every family. Every function celebrated has its own history. It basically commemorates the victory of good over the evil. Many festivals like Pongal, Diwali, Dussera and a lot more. India is basically an agricultural country. The festival Pongal is celebrated to thank the Sun God for providing good cultivation of crops. The festival Diwali commemorates the victory of Lord Krishna over the war with Narakasura who is a demon. The Dussera is celebrated for the victory of Goddess Durga devi for killing Mahishasuran who is a demon. He has a face of a bull and was very cruel.
