A critical examination of these policies reveals both pragmatic statecraft and points of conflict that ultimately shaped the trajectory of Mughal-Rajput relations.

This victory broke the collective Rajput resistance but did not result in their full subjugation. Babur did not pursue a policy of alliance with Rajputs, mainly due to his preoccupation with consolidating control over the Delhi Sultanate territories and his lack of long-term imperial ambition at that stage.
