The historical merits of this thread lie in the sources it uses, which as you can see, like his previous threads, are not really great sources of history. This is as bad as a poorly written and poorly sourced article on Wikipedia, if not worse.
The saltposting is real. https://twitter.com/Schandillia/status/1305431484392595458

His claim that Opium was introduced in India by the Muslims is again incorrect. According to CBN (Central Bureau of Narcotics), it was introduced by the Greeks. I wonder what form of Islam existed back then. This guy is a fucking imbecile.

The construct of Afghan ethnicity being distinct from an Indic one is quite new, they originally were Indians only. One may find the Pakhtas in the RigVeda 7.18.7 participating in the battle of the 10 kings.

We find 3 works of note from the Islamic world that classify the region of Afghanistan as indic and part of India.
1. Murūj al-Dhahab wa-Ma'ādin al-Jawhar ~ Al Masudi (896-956)
2. Kitāb al-Hind ~ Al Biruni (973-1050+)
3. Tārīkh-i Āl-i Sabuktagīn ~ Abu'l-Fazl Bayhaqi (995-1077)

Now that it is established that early medieval Afghanistan was not something foreign to India as the post colonial definitions would have you believe, let's go to the sources that he has cited for his shallow rants.
Here he talks about how Medieval India was Brutal to women by citing a book by an author who is not a historian which talks of an account of a certain 'Rinki' from a 2001 book. How is it relevant to Rajputs, especially Jadeja Rajputs is beyond anyone. https://twitter.com/Schandillia/status/1305431543595151367
In his world 1980s-2000s are part of the Medieval Era.
Even the left with all its intellectual dishonesty will call it utter BS.

Again this book is titled 'Medical Marginality in South Asia', it is a book on history of medicine that has one passing mention of Rajputs engaging in infanticide. Without any historical context.
The purpose it serves here is of shoot and scoot. https://twitter.com/Schandillia/status/1305431562737967105

Again this work is not related to history but sociology. It's from an Indian Author from Delhi University. https://twitter.com/Schandillia/status/1305431579334860800?s=20
As you can see, his sources are not works on history or history of Rajputs but very PoV works on other fields. One wonders if he just googled keywords of universal societal evils along with 'Rajput' and came up with this thread. And what western authors? https://twitter.com/Schandillia/status/1305786748924960768
