Lok Rajputs
(Redirected from Lok Rajput)
The Lok Rajputs are Hindu caste found in the state of Rajasthan in India.[1]
History and origin
[edit]The Lok Rajput claims to descent from a small number of Panwar Rajputs that settled in the hill of Mount Abu. Owing to their isolation from Rajput groups, they evolved into a distinct community.[2]
Present circumstances
[edit]The community is endogamous, and divided into fourteen exogamous gotras. These are involved in the regulating of marriages. They are a community of mainly small peasant farmers, with animal husbandry being their main secondly occupation.
