The
Rajput (from the Sanskrit tatpurusha compound
rajaputra, "
SON OF THE KING") are a ruling class of the Indian subcontinent and south east Asia. In the Hindustani language, those belonging to the Kshatriya (warrior) Varna
(major subgroup) of Hindus are generally referred to as "Rajputs". They
ruled in the Indian sub-continent from the 6th to the 20th century and
in south east Asia from the 9th to 15th centuries. Nepal was the last empire of Rajputs, which ended in 1950. At the time of the Partition of India in 1947, Rajputs ruled in the "overwhelming majority" of the princely states of Rajasthan and Saurashtra, where the largest number of princely states were found. Many Rajputs claim descent from Rama
and Krishna.
