ancient India, society was divided into four parts (varnas): brahmins,
kshatriyas, vaishyas, and shudras. The Rajputs eventually came to
occupy the place in society of the kshatriyas. In that ancient era,
this system was very fluid and flexible. Ibbetson writes in his book,
"In the earlier Hinduism we find that, while caste distinctions were
primarily based upon occupation, considerable license in this respect
was permitted to the several castes, while the possibility of the
individual rising [or falling] fr ...

Instead, since marriages form bonds of blood, the Major Rajputs
traditionally marry only other Major Rajputs. The caste of the Major
Rajputs eventually has come to be goldsmiths, because that is currently
their predominant occupation.
Here is a possible method of classification that should reduce some
