Their looks, culture, food and traditions are more similar to us than others. .
Are you talking about Muslim Rajputs or Hindu Rajputs? Muslim Rajputs are obviously going to be similar to Indian Punjabis because they live in Punjab.

But, Hindu Rajputs see themselves as being very different from the Muslim Rajputs. Didn't you get my PM to you?
Another reason why Sikh Punjabi culture may seem similar to Rajput culture is b/c Guru Gobind Singh borrowed some of their traditions.
A lot of Sikh ABD's don't know this, but the last name Singh, the kirpan, and the turban were already being used by Rajputs for centuries before Sikhism was found. Rajputs were known as warriors, and the Guru wanted to establish that Sikhs were warriors too.
A lot of Hindu Rajputs do look distinguishable from the prototypical Punjabi, because Rajasthan borders MP, UP, and Gujarat.

Anyways when did we divert from talking about hot girls to Rajputs
If Punjabis, Gujaratis, and Bengalis get to enjoy their ethnicities, why can't we?
Just like a Punjabi would correct you if you thought that he was South Indian, a Rajput would let you know that he/she is not Punjabi.
