History of Rajputs Episode 7 (English) Who are Rajputs? (Part-Second) राजपूत कौन हैं?
Rajput, from Sanskrit meaning "son of the king", also called Thakur, Thakur being used interchangeably with Rajput to refer to individuals belonging to this cluster of high castes. Thakur is in fact a common title for people of this caste, as Pandit is for Brahmin castes. A large multifaceted cluster of castes, kinship and local groups, kinship and social status. The lineage originates from the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. However, the derivation from Rajput is misleading because although many Rajputs belonged to some ruling clans, the majority of the Rajput community were ordinary agricultural labourers whose primary source of income was farming.The term Rajputs means 'sons of rajas', but this appellation is not to be taken literally. Though a good number of the Rajputs belonged to one or the other of the numerous ruling clans that constituted the Rajput polity, the vast majority of the Rajputs were common peasants eking out a bare subsistence from their arid land. The term Rajput historically covers various patrilineal clans associated with warriors: several clans claim Rajput status, although not all claims are universally accepted. According to modern scholars, almost all Rajput clans originated from peasant or rural communities.

Over time, the Rajputs emerged as a social class that included people from diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds. From the 12th to the 16th centuries, membership in this class became largely hereditary, although new claims to Rajput status continued to be made in later centuries. From the 7th century onwards, several Rajput ruling dynasties played a significant role in many areas of central and northern India from the seventh century onwards.

In terms of religious affiliation, in 1988 it was estimated that out of a total Rajput population of roughly 38 million in the Indian subcontinent, the majority, 30 million (79%) were Hindus, nearly 8 million (19.9%) were followers of Islam (mostly concentrated in Pakistan) while slightly less than 200,000 (0.5%) were Sikhs.

01:23However, the derivation from Rajput is misleading because although many Rajputs belong to some ruling clan, the majority of the
01:36Rajput community were ordinary agriculture laborers whose primary source of income was farming.
01:45The term Rajputs means sons of Rajas, but this application is not to be taken literally.
01:57Through a good number of Rajputs belongs to the one of the other of the numbers pulling clans that constituted
02:08the Rajput polity.
02:09The vast majority of the Rajputs were common peasants.
02:16A king, outed by subsistence from their heir, learned the term Rajput historically covers various patrillion columns associated with various
02:30several columns, claim Rajput status.
02:33Although not all claims are universally accepted, according to the modern scholars, almost all Rajput clans originated from patient or
02:46ruler communities.
02:49Over time the Rajputs image as a social class that included people from diverse and thick and geographical backgrounds from
03:06the 12th to the 16th century.
03:10Membership in this class became largely hereditary, although new claims to Rajputs status continued to be made in later centuries.
03:25From the 7th century onwards several Rajputs ruling dynasties played a significant role in many areas of central and northern
03:36India from the 7th century onwards.
03:41In terms of religious affiliations, in 1988, one survey, at that time, it was estimated that out of total Rajput

04:39The origin of the Rajputs has been a much debated topic among historians.
04:47Historians Satesh Chandra states, modern historians are more or less agree that the Rajputs consisted of miscellaneous groups including Sudra
05:01and Tribals.
05:02Some were Brahmans, some were Brahmans, who took to warfare and some were from tribes and the governors of foreign.
05:14The Rajputs community formation was the result of political factors that influenced caste mobility, called Sanskritization by some scholars and
05:29Rajputsization by others.
05:31Thus, modern scholars agree that nearly all Rajputs scholars are originated from present or pastoral communities.
05:43Historians discuss three theories by Raj-era, and early-wave writers for Rajputs origin, and gives the reason as the
05:54why these theories are dismissed by modern research.
06:01British Colonial Colony
06:03British Colonial Area
06:05British Colonial Area writers characters Rajputs as descendants of the foreign involved, invaders such as the Sikh themes of the
06:20Hunas, and believed that the Agni-Kullah myth was invented to consider the
06:29to conceal their foreign origin. According to this theory, the Rajputs ornated when these invaders were assimilated into the Khistriya
06:43category during the 6th or 7th century, following the collapse of the Gupta Empire.
06:52the colonial writers were the colonial colonial writers.
06:52While many of these colonial writers propagated this foreign origin theory, in order to legitimize the colonial rule. The theory
07:09was also supported by some Indian scholars such as D.R. Bandhagar. The second theory was promogulated by C.R.
07:21C. V. Vidya, who believed in the Aryan invention theory and that the entire 9th to 10th century.
07:34Inir Papolis was composed of only one race, the Aryans, who had not yet mixed with the
07:46shoulder, sudars, or Davidians. Nationalist historians, Vidya and R.B. Sim, write that the Rajputs had originated from the Vedic
07:59Aryan khristiyas of the epics.
08:02C. Ramayana and Mahabharata. V. Vidya bases this theory on certain attributes, such bravery and physical strength of Drupati and
08:17Khasilya, of the bravery of the Rajputs.
08:20However, Haliti Betel says that such affiliates do not point to an unbroken continuity between an ancient epic period in
08:35the Vedic period, according to the Vidya and the great Rajputs tradition that started in the 16th century.
08:42C. Rajasthan instead raised the question of similarities between the epics' allusions to the Vedic Vardhya.
09:19C. Rajasthan, the
09:22and Rajput as often helpless. A third group of Australians which includes J Narayan Asopha,
09:33theorists that the Rajput were Brahmans who become rulers. However, such one tried arguments
09:41and convented evidence, such as shape of the head, culture, street types,
09:50it is the end, dismissed by Haliti Betel, who refers to such clans and asopha apex,
10:00reference as far fetish or unintelligible. So friends, good bye.
