Rajput
Rajput is a Hindu Kshatriya caste. They claim descent from ancient royal warrior dynasties of Kshatriyas in India and trace their roots to Rajputana, an area which has come to be known as Rajasthan after the formation of this state in independent, post-colonial India. According to Hindu religious beliefs, Lord Rama was a Kshatriya of the Raghuvanshi or Suryavanshi clan and Lord Krishna was a Kshatriya of Chandravanshi Yaduvanshi clan. They mainly reside in Uttar Pradesh (UP), RajasthanMadhya PradeshGujaratBiharHimachal PradeshJammu Uttarakhand, and Delhi. In India, within the Hindu caste system, present day Rajputs constitute one of the principal groups belonging to the Kshatriya Varna. The Rajputs ruled more than four hundred out of the estimated six hundred princely states at the time of the independence of India. The Rajputs have always been martial. The British Government also accepted them and recruited them heavily into their armies.
