Rajasthani People
Rajasthani people or Rajasthanis are a group of Indo-Aryan peoples native to Rajasthan ("the land of kingdoms"), a state in Northern India. Their language, Rajasthani, is a part of the western group of Indo-Aryan languages. History The first mention of the word ''Rajasthan'' comes from the works of George Thomas (''Military Memories'') and James Tod (''Annals''). Rajasthan literally means the ''Land of Kingdoms''. However, western Rajasthan and eastern Gujarat were part of "Gurjaratra". The local dialects of the time use the expression ''Rājwār'', the place or land of kings, later ''Rajputana''. Although the history of Rajasthan goes back as far as the Indus Valley civilization, the foundation of the Rajasthani community took shape with the rise of ''Western Middle Kingdoms'' such as Western Kshatrapas. ''Western Kshatrapas'' (35-405 BC) were rulers of the western part of India (Saurashtra and Malwa: modern Gujarat, Southern Sindh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan). They were the ...
