Detailed explanation-1: -Rajputas are mentioned as Agnikula Kshatriyas in a Prithviraj Ra.
Detailed explanation-2: -Agnikula Kshatriyas belong to the Agnivansha, the descendents from Agni, the vedic God of fire. Kshatriya caste of Hindus is divided into three lineages Suryavanshi, Chandravanshi and Agnivanshi. It is believed that some of the Rajputs in the north and agnikula Kshatriyas in the South India are from Agnikula lineage.
Detailed explanation-3: -The four major Rajput dynasties-Pratihara, Paramara, Cauhan, and Caulukya-claimed Agnikula lineage.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some colonial-era historians interpreted the Agnikula myth to suggest a foreign origin for the Agnivanshi Rajputs. According to this theory, the foreign ancestors of these Rajputs came to India after the decline of the Gupta Empire around 5th century.
