Rajput Clans Of Sindh
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.

According to modern scholars, almost all Rajput clans originated from peasant or pastoral communities.
