  • After the mid-16th century, many Rajput rulers formed close ties with the Mughal emperors and served them in various capacities . It was because of the support of the Rajputs that Akbar was able to lay the foundation for the Mughal Empire in India. The Rajput nobles had their daughters married to the Mughal emperors and married their princess for political purposes. For example, Akbar performed 40 marriages for himself and for his sons and grandsons, of which 17 were Rajput-Mughal alliances. The successors of the Mughal emperor Akbar, the mothers of his son Jahangir and grandson Shah Jahan were Rajputs. The Sisodia Rajput family of Mewar made it an honour not to enter into matrimonial relations with the Mughals, and thus stood in contrast to all other Rajput clans. After this time, the marital relations between the Rajputs and the Mughals declined somewhat. Akbar's relations with the Rajputs began when he returned in 1561 from a visit by the Chisti Sufi Shaikh of Sikri, west of Agra. Then many Rajput princesses married Akbar. (en)
