Hi Every one Dravidas are mentioned as Kshatriyas the same is quoted in the article as well and hence the entire 97% plus people should be Kshatriyas?, there is no Kshatriya or Vaishya castes like in North India forming 30-50% of the population. Even some the Bramhin castes of south India are Dravidian looking and culturally identical with the rest. Though I completely agree that the Raju community is quite affluent and land owning as well as are not covered under any Reservations policy they are by looks and physical characteristic's and customs as black skinned as their Dravidian brothers. Look at the Rajus's of Satyam or Ram Gopal Verma they dont look any similar to the Caucasian featured Rajputs or Jats having origins in Central Asia. Also it is a Known fact that even in the History books the Andhra ruling dynasties were Reddy's, Kakatiya's, Velamas , Nizams etc and there was not even ONE RAJU FAMILY THAT EVER RULED ANDHRA PRADESH. REQUEST ANY ONE TO PROVIDE ONE GENUINE RAJU FAMILY THAT WAS A RULING DYNASTY IN ANDHRA PRADESH HISTORY. PLEASE DONT QUOTE ANY FICTITIOUS AND UNREFERENCED IDEAS OF RAJUS RULING ANDHRA PRADESH.(Agreed Alluri Sita Rama Raju was a freedom fighter - my deep respects, but not a heriditary ruling dynasty?) no Doubt 95% and above people are covered under reservation policy either SC or ST or OBC, BC etc..., —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.130.223 (talk) 18:54, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The JAT Regiment

The Jat Regiment is an infantry regiment of the Indian Army, it is one of the longest serving and most decorated regiments of the Indian Army[1]. The regiment has won 19 battle honours between 1839 to 1947[2] and post independence 5 battle honours, eight Mahavir Chakra, eight Kirti Chakra, 32 Shaurya Chakras, 39 Vir Chakras and 170 Sena medals[3]. The motto of the regiment is Sangathan Wa Veerta which truly signifies a spirit of unity and valour. The battle cry, adopted in 1955 is Jat Balwan, Jai Bhagwan meaning that the Jat is Powerful, Victory be to God. So, I would like to add The JAT Regiment on the page.

I believe it's worth mentioning here about the Class Composition of The JAT Regiment. The Jat Regiment's class composition is 100% Jats from Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh except for 3 Battalions whose ethnic make-up is as follows:

  • 12th : All India All Class
  • 15th : The AJGAR Battalion recruiting Ahirs, Jats, Gujars and Rajputs the classes with a common heritage. This was done as an experimental measure to test whether the mixing of these inter-linked classes could lead to fulfillment of the dream of a section of the politico-bureaucratic hierarchy; a mixed Army. This perception is shared by some of the Army’s top brass also.
  • 20th : One of the Vaidya Battalions. Raised as an unthinking measure by Gen. Vaidya the then Army Chief after the events of 1984 with a mixed class composition of Jats, Dogras, Garhwalis, and Marathas[4]. Abstruce (talk) 16:41, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gujjar and jats are sudras not kshatriya

Gujjar and jats are sudras not kshatriya —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.141.10 (talk) 17:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Abhiras were the only Kshatriyas left.

The Kshatriya religion was propounded by Krishna,[1][2][3] and no reference was found before him.[4] We only find Rajnya as the term alternatively used for it (Bhagwad Gita is a reduced form of hidden knowledge— Gope —which has its root in Shiva). Later on, many Kshatriyas were founded on the philosophy of yadavanshis, as revealed in the Bhagavad Gita.[3] [5]According to Markandeya Purana,all the Kshatriyas were killed in a holocaust led by Parsuram.Only the Abhiras survived by escaping into the craters between mountains.The sage Markandeya remarked that "all Kshatriyas have been killed but Abhiras have survived; they will surely rule the earth in Kaliyauga.[6][7]

None of the sources you are using are reliable. The Om Gupta book is sourced from Wikipedia. —SpacemanSpiff 07:34, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So you are doubting Markandeya Purana ?

Markandeya Purana says Purshuram killed all Kshatriyas except Abhiras.

Markandeya Purana says Purshuram killed all Kshatriyas except Abhiras. Then what are all these castes mentioned here?

If MAURYA (are Kushwaha Son of Kusha) are Suryavanshi Khatriya then KURMI (Brothers as son of Luva) are also Suryavanshi Khatriya

Dear all,

It is being mentioned that Maurya are Suryanshi Kshatriya. We all know, that Mauryas were Kushwaha by caste and that means descendant of Kusha (son of Sree Rama). Then why and with which logic Kurmis are left from this Suryavanshi list of Kshatriya, as again, we all know that they are descendent of Luva (another son of Sree Rama).

Please, if you make article, then do it logically and correct.
