History of Rajputs in India

              The history of rajputs

A Rajput (from Sanskrit raja-putra , “son of a king”) is a
member of one of the patrilineal clans of western, central,
northern India and some parts of Pakistan. They claim to be descendants of ruling Hindu warrior classes of North
India. Rajputs rose to prominence during the 6th to 12th centuries. Until the 20th century, Rajputs ruled in the “overwhelming majority” of the princely states of Rajasthan and Surashtra, where the largest number of princely states were found. The Rajput population and the former Rajput states are found spread through much of the subcontinent,
particularly in north, west and
central India. Populations are found in
Rajasthan, Saurashtra, Uttar
Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. There are several major subdivisions of Rajputs, known
as vansh or vamsha , the step below the super-division jati. These vansh delineate claimed descent from various
sources, and the Rajput are generally considered to be divided into three primary vansh: Suryavanshi denotes
descent from the solar deity Surya, Chandravanshi from
the lunar deity Chandra, and Agnivanshi from the fire deity Agni. Lesser-noted vansh include Udayvanshi, Rajvanshi, and Rishivanshi. The histories of the various
vanshs were later recorded in documents known as vanshaavaliis . Beneath the vansh division are smaller and smaller
subdivisions: kul , shakh (“branch”), khamp or khanp (“twig”), and nak (“twig tip”). Marriages within a kul are
generally disallowed (with some flexibility for kul-mates of different gotra lineages). The kul serves as primary identity for many of the Rajput clans, and each kul is
protected by a family goddess, the kuldevi .

 THE MAIN LINEAGES:
The Rajputs are divided into clans, each clan belonging to one of three basic lineages (vanshas or vamshas ):
Suryavanshi :
Claims descent from Surya, the Hindu Sun god. In English it is known as the Solar Dynasty.
Chandravanshi :
Claims descent from Chandra (the moon or Budh). The Chandravanshi lineage is known as the Lunar Dynasty inEnglish
1. The Yaduvanshi lineage are a major sub-branch of the Chandravanshi lineage. Lord Krishna was born a Yaduvanshi.
2. The Puruvanshi lineage are a major sub-branch of the Chandravanshi Rajputs. The Kauravs and Pandavs of the epic Mahabharata were Puruvanshis. Agnivanshi :
Claims descent from Agni, the Hindu god of fire. Four main Rajput clans are considered to be Agnivanshi. They are Chauhans, Paramara, Solanki and Pratiharas.
Each of these Vanshas or lineages is divided into several clans (kula), all of whom claim direct patrilineage from a remote but common male ancestor who supposedly
belonged to that Vansha. Some of these 36 main clans are further subdivided into shakhas or “branches”, again
based on the same principle of patrilineage.
Each shakha or basic sub-clan has its individual genealogical creed, describing the essential peculiarities, religious tenets, and original domicile of the clan. This
creed is a touchstone of traditional affinities and provides all information governing the laws of intermarriage.

1,440 villages are claimed by Pundir Rajputs with high
concentrations in the districts of Dehradun, Saharanpur,
Muzaffarnagar, Aligarh and Etawah. According to the
British census of 1891 the population of the Pundir

Bhati :
Bhati Rajputs are a Chandravanshi Rajput clan from the
Jaisalmer region of western Rajasthan. The Maharajas of
Jaisalmer trace their lineage back to Jaitsimha, a ruler of
the Bhati Rajput clan. The major opponents of the Bhati
Rajputs were the powerful Rathor clans of Jodhpur and
Bikaner. They used to fight battles for the possession of
forts, waterholes or cattle. Jaisalmer was positioned
strategically and was a halting point along a traditional
trade route traversed by the camel caravans of Indian and
Asian merchants. The route linked India to Central Asia,
Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Africa and the West. Bhati Rajputs
were proficient horse riders, marksman and warriors.
Their reign spread to the Punjab, Sindh and beyond, to
Afghanistan. The City of Ghazni was named after a brave
Bhatti warrior. In Lahore, a monument exists to this day,
which is called the Bhati Gate, named so probably
because it opens in the direction of the “Sandal Bar”, an
area ruled by Rai Sandal Khan Bhati Rajput. They earned
too much by imposing the taxes levies on the passing
Carvans.they were known as a great shooter with Gun.

Naga:
The Naga were one of the ancient most kshatriya tribes of
India who evolved from Suryawansha (the Solar Clan of
ancient Kshtriyas of India) and ruled large parts of the
country at different times. They spread throughout India
during the period of the epic Mahabharata. Anthropologist
Gelek Lonbsang believes they have distant ancestry with
East Asians based on their similar physical features. The
demi-god tribe called Suparnas (in which Garuda
belonged) were arch-rivals of the Nagas. However, the
Nagas near Kashmir seems to be the original abode of all
of them. Places like Anantnag attests this theory. The
worshippers of Naga were supposedly known as Naga or
Nagil. Some Nair and Bunt clans claims to be of
Nagvanshi origin. The trace of nagvanshi can be find out
in Chotanagpur i.e. Jharkhand (Rai) community and
(Shahdeo) community are also nagvanshi Rajput.
Paramara:
Paramaras are Agnivanshi Rajputs that were near-
neighbours of the Solankis. They originated as
feudatories of the Rashtrakutas and rose to power in the
10th century. They ruled Malwa and the area at the border
between present-day Gujarat and Rajasthan. Bhoja, the
celebrated king of Malwa, belonged to this dynasty. In the
12th century, the Paramaras declined in power due to
conflict with the Solankis and succumbed to attack from
the Delhi sultanate in 1305.
