I have some doubts related to Rajputs. Please clarify.

Why is “Rajputana” typically used to refer only to the Rajput-ruled states within present-day Rajasthan, when historically there were many other Rajput states and territories in regions that are now part of Pakistan (such as Sindh), Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh, which are connected with those states? Why aren’t these also included under the same framework?

Additionally, just as the Rajput states of Rajputana shared certain cultural, political, and social characteristics, did similar forms of unity or common identity exist among the Pahadi Rajput states and the Dogra Rajputs as well?

Thanks.
