How do you think Kshatriyas returned after parshuram cleansed the earth off of them 21 times? This is well known lmao, a practice known as Niyog

>But those are just telltale stories
Entire legitimacy of traditional hindu caste system is via telltale stories. Brahmins claiming descent from legendary saptarishis, rajus claiming descent from sun and moon, Rama and even Krishna now, yadavs claiming descent from Krishna etc
So if Rajus want us to believe their claims of mythological greatness via descent from gods and great characters in puranas, then they must accept the rest of the puranas as well.
Parshuram wiped out kshatriya men from planet 21 times sparing women and children, many of these surviving Queens with no issue underwent niyog with brahmins to further lineage. This is a practice mentioned in smritis and puranas

Rajputs further claim they are the only real kshatriyas in india today, descendant of the kshatriyas mentioned in puranas. So by simple logic many of the rajput lineages are via direct niyog after parshuram wiped out them 21 times.

Yeah, he never did kill all Kshatriyas. If that was true, his recurrence and also encounter with clans like the Kuru or Ishvaku wont make sense. Reminds me of Pain bhangir. He used to say how a raju took his sister, and ever since he kept seething about them.

Its just mythology, pajeet. In reality, rajputs have diverse origins. Various ruling clans and peasant clans rajputised in medieval period. Even some brahmins became rajputs like guhilas.
