Rajput History

Rajput: A member of northern India's Hindu warrior caste, living mainly in Rajastan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.

The word "Rajput" is a contracted form of raja, or "monarch," and putra, meaning "son." According to legend, only the first son of a king could inherit the kingdom, so the later sons became military leaders. From these younger sons was born the Rajput warrior caste.

The term "Rajaputra" was first mentioned around 300 B.C., in the Bhagvat Purana. The name gradually evolved to its current shortened

"The Rajputs live in northern India, and have served as Hindu India's first line of defense against waves of invaders from the north."

A Rajput (Hindi: राजपूत) is a member of one of the patrilineal clans of central, northern India and in some parts of Pakistan. Rajputs are descendants of one of the major ruling warrior classes in the Indian subcontinent, particularly North India.[1][2][3][4][5] Current-day Uttar Pradesh is home to most of the Rajputs, although demographically the Rajput population and the former Rajput states are found spread through much the subcontinent, particularly in north and central India. Populations are found in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu, Punjab, Uttaranchal, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra.
