 '''Rajput''' (from [[Sanskrit]] ''raja-putra'', "son of a king") is a large multi-component cluster of castes, kin bodies, and local groups, sharing social status and ideology of genealogical descent originating from the [[Indian subcontinent]]. The term Rajput covers various [[patrilineal]] clans historically associated with [[warrior]]hood: several clans claim Rajput status, although not all claims are universally accepted. According to modern scholars, almost all Rajputs clans originated from peasant or pastoral communities.
