The Rajputs are thought to be royal descendants of one of the former warrior dynasties of ancient India. The Rajputs mainly belonged to Rajputana, most of whose parts are now the regions of the state of Rajasthan which borders Pakistan. At the time when India gained independence, Rajputs ruled over four hundred out of the estimated six hundred princely states. This clan is still known for its bravery. Many Rajputs still are found in the modern Indian Army.  |
