Question

Which of the following was not a Rajput dynasty?
(A) Solankis
(B) Rashtrakutas
(C) Chauhans
(D) Chandelas

Answer 1

Hint: Several small kingdoms arose in central India, and a dynasty known as the Rajputs ruled Rajasthan. This dynasty ruled most of northern India, and now Pakistan. Some of these were the Solanki dynasty, which now controlled Gujarat, chandela in Khajuraho, Chauhans in Ajmer and Delhi, and Bundela in Bundelkhand.

Complete answer:
Rashtrakutas was not a Rajput dynasty. The Rajputs ("son of the king" in Sanskrit "Raja Putra") are a large group of castes, relatives and regional groups that share the social status and genealogical ideology of the Indian subcontinent. The term Rajput includes various paternal clans historically associated with the military. Some clans claim Rajputs status, but not all claims are accepted. According to modern scholars, almost all Rajput clans come from rural or pastoral communities.
Rajput residents and former Rajput states live in northern, western, central and eastern India, as well as southern and eastern Pakistan. These regions include Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, East Punjab, West Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Sindh.
Like other fighting competitions in South Asia, the Rajputs are known for their friendliness, that is, for their cordiality and friendliness towards guests.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
There are several main divisions of the Rajputs known as vansh or vansa, and there are grades within the super-division of the jati. It is believed that this Vansh comes from a variety of sources, and the Rajputs are generally divided into three main divisions. The Agnivanshi clan includes Parmar, Chaulukya (Solanki), Parikhar and Chauhan.
