Hi All !

I am Nitinsinh Raulji, from Vadodara, Gujarat and relate to Solanki Shakha of Rajputs who ruled mostly in Gujarat.

I have been reading the archieves for some time now, and find the clash of opinions of some fellow members quite interesting.

Before I fully join the discussion and express my biased or unbiased :-) opinian, I would summarise foll. points :

1. Though Rajputs means Sons of Royals. Its the only community found in the history of the world, who are known for bravery, self-esteem, love for freedom, patriotism, self-less sacrifices for upholding the values, protection of the weak, etc..

2. Though, there is not any written history of Civilizations available prior to 3000 yrs ago due to Shruti (Mouth to Ear) parampara of Vedic and Pre-vedic knowledge. There are several Indian scripts which refer to Aryans civilization ruling the world. One can refer to "Ramayan" and ances-tree of Lord Rama. Also, Persia is name derived after Bhagwan Parshuram and any wonders why Germans call themselves Aryans ?

3. Islamic civilizations' destructive forces made its devastaing effects on Indus (Hindu) civilization while it was on the peak of civilization which offered/enjoyed complete freedom of belief, values and presented to the world with Buddhism and Jainism subscribing to Non-violence and Peace. Kingdom of Rajasthan and Sind followed traditional Hinduism, Patliputra/ Magadh (Now Bihar) followed Buddhism and Patan of Gujarat were influenced by Jainism.

4. While defining Rajput, I understand, a Rajput is a Kshtriya who belonged to Royals.

Hope you will agree with above points. I hope to join you soon.

Jay Mataji,

Nitinsinh
