Khuman

History and origin

A Wala Rajput named Werawal had married a beautiful kathi kshatriya woman named Rupde. His descendants became known as "Sakhayat" Kathis, that is, Kathis with substance, while other Kathis became known as "Awaratyas." Werawal had three sons, Wala, Khuman, and Khachar who gave their names to the three great Sakhayat divisions of their tribe now existing.

These three Sakhayat divisions do not marry internally.
