Answer 2

Explanation:

During the early medieval period in Indian history-750-1200 AD, Rajputs emerged as a new Kshatriya clan. It started with emergence of various warrior castes which later got assimilated into a single caste-Rajputs.

The origin of Rajputs is a highly debated topic. Different historians have given different theories in this regard so i am writing a brief overview.

1. Agnikul Theory- that they emerged from sacred agni at mount abu as a result of havan performed by rishi vashishth. This is written in the bardic tradition.

2. Foreign Theory-Alexander Cunninghum, James Todd, Vincent Smith, R.n.Bhandarkar- That rajputs actually came along with foreign tribes like Hunas,Shakas, KUshanas, etc and thus are a later addition to the population  who later hinduised themselves.

3. Indian Theory- C.v.Vaidya- That rajputs are Chandravanshi and suryavanshi and are original Indians who fought against muslim foreign invaders.

4. Mixed origin theory
