SURYAVANSHI
Suryavanshi kshatriya trace their lineage to the Vedic Sun-Surya. Lord Rama was also born in this lineage. Suryavanshi kshatriya ruled over Mewar, Marwar, Amber, etc. Badgujar kshatriya, a suryavansh lineage once ruled the entire Rajasthan then called Gujardes, this made their clan named after it. later in history the territory of Jaipur was ruled by Badgujar kshatriya.
Badgujars originated from Ram's son Lava. Lavs son was badujjwal, after his name they were started to be known as Badgujars ( dettoriated pronucation of badujjwal ) Till 11th century they ruled big part of Rajasthan including Dhundar, now called Jaipur, Dausa, Alwar, Jangladesh now called Bikaner & Churu. Kachawas established them after snatching power from Badgujars. They never compromised to mughal demands and fough many battels with them, thus reduced in great numbers. They constituted the main force in "Haraval" Tukdi, the first line of offence in a battle.
