Ravi,
Here is an excerpt from Page 289 of Chapter 14 of Baburnama, translated by Annette S. Beveridge:
My March Against Rana Sangha
"(11 February/9 Jumada Awal ) We left Agra and dismounted in the countryside where we remained for a few days to assemble our army. News reached us that due to <b>Rajput</b> Rana Sangha's speedy advance with all his troops our scouts were unable ..........."
Now let us look at Page 154:
"... recruited some Afghans of the Dilazak and yusufzai tribes and also a few Jats and Gujurs".
So either you have not read Beveridge, or you are lying. (Reason I say lying because the index of Beveridge's book has close to half a dozen rajput references and is very hard to miss them).
Lastly as is evident that Jats, Gujjars and Rajputs are different people as even a "foreigner" in 16th century could observe that. So your claims that Maharana Pratap's family was a Jat is frivolous and you should purge it from your thoughts and if possible educate other brethern of yours too.
I will be happy to answer more questions from you.
