Īsopa informs us this observation after understanding meaning of word Rajputra or Rajput from many ancient texts: Agnivanshi - descendants of the fire god, Agni.Chandravanshi - descendants of the moon god, Chandra.Suryavanshi - descendants of the sun god, Surya.These are divided into three different lines of descent (called vanshas). The Rajputs consist of 36 different clans. (Lit - king's son - Prince in Sanskrit) Rajput is just a shortened form of Raja-putra which means king's son in Sanskrit. In ancient times the son of a king was referred as to Rajput- Raja-putra. They are identified with the word "Rajanya" found in ancient Indian literature and trace their roots to Rajputana or Rajputstan (India).
They claim descent from ancient royal warrior dynasties of Kshatriyas.
