Answer
Ans. There are several theories given about origin of Rajputs. Some claimed there genealogy to Solar and Lunar families of Kshatriyas mentioned in the Mahabharata. Chandra Bardai in his ‘Prathviraj Raso’ mentioned that, the Chalukyas (Solankis), the Parmaras (Pawars), the Chahmanas (Chauhans) & the Pratiharas (Parihars) evolved from the yajna organized by Vasistha at Mount Abu. Some historians said, a number of classes from Scythians and Huns assimilated in Indian Society. Some chief clans of South India like Kalachuris, Chandellas & Gaharwaras were related with Gond, Rathore & Bundella respectively.
