The Rajputs are a a martial race and are the Hindu Princely Caste
belonging to the Kshatriya or warrior varna. Apart from being an important
factor in the social life of the Rajputs themselves, their clan system is also
of interest for certain other reasons: land tenure studies in the Indian state
of Rajasthan and tracing of ancient population shifts are only two fields where
this topic would be of interestThe Rajputs are a a martial race and are the
Hindu Princely Caste belonging to the Kshatriya or warrior varna. Apart from
being an important factor in the social life of the Rajputs themselves, their
clan system is also of interest for certain other reasons: land tenure studies
in the Indian state of Rajasthan and tracing of ancient population shifts are
only two fields where this topic would be of interest.
The Rajputs are divided into 36 clans, each clan belonging to one of three basic
lineages (vanshas or vamshas):
The Suryavanshi lineage, claiming descent from Surya, the Hindu Sun-god or in
English it is known as Solar Dynasty;
The Chandravanshi lineage,The Chandravanshi or Lunar dynasty lineage claims
descent from Chandra (Moon or Budh). Hindu Chandra-Dynasty in English is known
as Lunar Dynasty;
The PuruVanshi lineage, are sub branch of chandra vanshi rajputs. The Kurus
and Pandus of Mahabharata war were Puruvanshis.
The Agnivanshi lineage, claiming descent from Agni, the Hindu god of fire.Four
Rajput clans are considered to be Agnivanshi.They are
Chauhans,Paramara,Solanki and Pratiharas.
The Hindu God Rama belonged to Raghuvanshi kula /Raghav (one of the main
branch of Suryavansha or Sun Dynasty) and God Krishna belonged to Chandravanshi
or Lunar Dynasty. There were other dynasties also at the time of Rama and
Krishna and Buddha. It is not necessary for every Rajput to belong to any
particular one of these dynasties. They are listed and recorded for their
outstanding record. There are many dynasties in India and out of it of
Kshatriyas who were later known as Rajputs Some scholars also include Nagavanshi
and Rishivanshi as separate lineages. The "Yaduvanshi"(yadav) lineage is
actually a major branch of the "Chandravanshi" lineage: the Hindu god Krishna
belonged to the Chandravansha, and his supposed descendents from the Yadav clan;
others who claim descent from the moon-god but not from Krishna form the
existing chandravansha lineage.
Each of these Vanshas or lineages is divided into several clans (kula), all
of whom claim direct patrilineage for a remote but common male ancestor who
supposedly belonged to that Vansha. Some of these thirty-six main clans are
further subdivided into shakhas or "branches", again based on the same principle
of patrilineage.
The other twenty-four clans are not divided further. These are: Sengar,
Balla, Khurwur, Chawura, Dahima/Dayma/Pundir, Dahiya, Byce, Gherwal, Nikumpa,
Dewut, Johiya, Sikarwar/Sikerwal, Dodiagh
Sisodia
The Sisodias suryavanshi Rajputs were also known as the Ranas of Mewar, old
Ranas states are to be found in many parts of India, and Nepal. The earliest
history of the clan calims that they had moved from Lahore that was also known
as 'Lohkot' or 'Lavasthali' to Shiv Desh, or Chitor in V.S 191. In V.S 193 their
ancestor Maharaja Kanak sen whose 21 had ruled over Lahore. Later he also
defeated the Kushan Satrap Rudradama who ruled over Gujarat had moved to Gujarat
on a punitive expedition against Dihraj Dev Parmar the ruler of Idar (Gujarat).
There he established his capital Vallabhi. They trace their descent from Bappa
Rawal, purported scion of the Guhilot or Guhila or Gehlot or Gahlot clan, who
established himself as ruler of Mewar in 734 AD, ruling from the fortress of
Chittor (or Chittorgarh). According to legend and clan history, Bappa grew up as
a cowherd in the town of Kailashpuri (now Eklingji) but spent much of his time
studying the Vedas in the hermitage of the sage Harita Rishi. He learned to
respect Lord Eklingji, and later Harita Rishi gave him the title of the Diwan of
Eklingji, one that has become a legacy for the succeeding maharanas. When he was
15 Bappa came to know that he was the nephew of the ruler of Chittor who had
been ousted by the ruler of Malwa. He left Kailashpuri, went to the fortress
city of Chittor and snatched his kingdom back from the prince of Malwa, Man
Singh Mori. In the 9th century bad luck fell upon the Gehlots who were driven
away by the Pratiharas who in turn made way for the Rashtrakutas and Paramaras
Bhati
Bhati Rajputs are a chandravansh Rajput clan from the Jaiselmer 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.
Jadeja
Rathore
Katoch
The Katoch clan is considered to be one of the oldest surviving clan in the
world. They first find mention in the mythological Hindu epic The Mahabharta and
the second mentions in the recorded history of Alexander the Great's war
records. One of the Indian kings who fought Alexander on the river Beas was a
Katoch king Parmanand Chandra famously known as Porus. In past centuries, they
ruled several princely states in the region. The originator of the clan was
Rajanaka Bhumi Chand. Their famous Maharaja Sansar Chand-II was a great ruler.
The ruler Rajanaka Bhumi Chand Katoch founded the Jwalaji Temple (now in
Himachal Pradesh).

Kachwaha
Solankis
Solankis were descended from the Chalukyas of Karnataka who ruled much of
peninsular India between the 6th and 12th centuries. In the 10th century, a
local branch of the clan established control over Gujarat and ruled a state
centered around the town of Patan. They went into decline in the 13th century
and were displaced by the Vaghela.

shrine in multan division near burewalla is still renowned.Hazrat Shah Hussain
Lahori also belongs to this clan.Many wars were waged by them during the time of
Mughal emperors and in British Raj. According to the puranas their geneological
tree starts from Raja Vikaramajeet and Raja Jagdev of Dharanagar and Raja Bhoj.
The Rever's were of the State of Tarangagadh. The sword of Rever is known in
the history of war in 11th century. They ruled Taranga and the area at the
border between present-day Gujarat and Rajasthan belonged to this dynasty.
Chandelas
In the early 10th century, the Chandelas ruled the fortress-city of Kalinjar. A
dynastic struggle (c.912-914 CE) among the Pratiharas provided them with the
opportunity to extend their domain. They captured the strategic fortress of
Gwalior (c.950) under the leadership of Dhanga (ruled 950-1008).
Tomars or Tanwars
Naru
The Narus of Hoshiarpur District claim that their ancestor was a Surajbansi
Rajput of Muttra, named Nipal Chand, and descended from Raja Ram Chand. He was
converted in the time of Mahmud of Ghazni and took the name of Naru Shah. Naru
Shah setteled at Mau in Jalandhar, Whence his son, Ratan Pal, founded Phillaur
hence founded the four Naru parganas of Hariana, Bajwara, Sham Chaurasi and
Ghorewaha in Hoshiarpur and that of Bahram in Jullunder. The chief men of these
parganas are still called Rai or Rana. Some kept Brahmans of the Baadeo got.
Mahmud of Ghazni conquered the country on both sides of the Sutlej, and placed
Talochar in charge of it. After leaving Mau he made Bajwara his capital, but the
attacks made on him by the hill chiefs compelled him to invoke Mahmud�s aid, and
Pathan troops were sent him who were cantoned along the foot of the Siwaliks and
are still settled there. Rana Sihra, Naru Khan�s descendant in the fifth
generation, returned to Ajudhia, whence Talochar had come, and re-conquered his
ancient kingdom, over which he appointed a viceroy. He died at his way back to
Punjab at Sunam. His third descendant Rana Mal, had five sons-Kilcha, Bhoja,
Dhuni, Massa and Jassa, who divided the territory. Kilcha got the Hariana ilaqa
with 750 villages, including Nandachuar, Bahram, Bulhowal, with the title of
Tika. Bhoja got Bajwara, Sham Chaurasi, Ahrana, Ajram, Baroti and their
dependent villages. Dhuni got the Dhuniat, i.e., Patti, Khanaura, Muna, Badla,
Harta, etc. Naru Khan�s grandson Baripal had already seized Bhangala, and
Dasuya. Basically naru rajputs are surajbansi rajputs.Historically they are from

Mair Rajputs ( Found mainly in Punjab, Gujrat, Rajsthan and Some part of
Pakistan)
Origin:
The Mair Rajputs are Gold Smiths who were worriors on previously. The word
"Mair" (M�r), also means to used for Tribals. The word is derived from the
Sanskrit word for a mountain or hill. The word "Mairs" therefore signifies those
who reside in the mountains, or hills.
The Mair Rajputs had origins somewhere in Rajasthan, around Ajmer. The Mair
Rajputs have some kind of connection to the Chauhan Rajput tribe. This is the
reason why many Mair Rajput families write their last name as Chauhan, even
though their gothra may be something else.They eventually adopted the goldsmith
profession after centuries of being warriors.
Achievments:
Mairs were playing a crucial part in India's defense long ago. The interaction
between the Mairs and Chauhans lends weight to one of my original hypotheses and
the Mair defense of Ajmer confirms the hypothesis of the Mairs originating from
Ajmer. In addition, They were Rajput tribe.
