The Lok Rajputs are Hindu caste found in the state of Rajasthan in India.
Contents
History and origin
The Lok Rajput claims to descent from a small number of Panwar Rajputs that settled in the hill country near Mount Abu. Owing to their isolation from Rajput groups, they evolved into a distinct community.
Present circumstances
The community is endogamous, and divided into fourteen exogamous gotras. These gotras are involved in the regulating of marriages. They are a community of mainly small peasant farmers, with animal husbandry being their main secondly occupation.
