Solution
The Rajputs fail to establish an empire in India because they were busy looking for their individual goals and interests which were often divergent and conflicting. They made no efforts to establish a Rajput empire, instead, they were busy finishing their energies in petty quarrels. The Rajput courts like the Mughal ones were busy in conspiracies and corruption, which led to their failure.
