Bodhi/PC,
Rajputs who were not kings usually did not give there daughters in marriages to the muslims. The king on becoming friends with mughal court invited less hostility from muslims but such considerations were not important for an ordinary rajput.
Rajputs tilled land as a fief of the rajput king they served. As a consequence even if they did not like the decision of the king so long they lived on his land they had to honour the bad decisions of the king.
Though rajputs across all shakhas (like rathore, kachwaha, chauhan etc) left there paternal fiefs and fought under Maharana Pratap.
