Answer 2

The Rajputs belonged to the medieval period and consisted of large cluster of castes and local groups, sharing a social status and ideology.

• The descendants of Lord Rama or Lord Krishna or the Hero who emerged from the sacrificial fire were the Rajputs. India's fate was chiefly in hands of different Rajput dynasties from the death of Harsha to the 12th century.
• A Rajput family was patriarchal in nature, with all the other members submissive to it, where the power was concentrated in the hands of the eldest member. It was a tradition, after the death of the head of a family, that his eldest son succeeded him.
• A subordinate position was presented to the women in the male dominated Rajput family, where the males exercised power over the women.
• The elite Rajput women were following the Purdah tradition. A deep belief in heritage and a mettlesome respect for personal honour was a part of their ethos.  
• Although the married women of the Rajput families did not encounter the livelihood issue, due to the polygamy tradition, they were still not able to relish similar rights and rank.
