3 There only the ruling families are Rajput, the mass of the peasantry
4 consisting of Kanets or Ghiraths, if indeed these last can be sejiarated at
5 all from Rathis and Ravvats. In the Dehli division and Rohtak the Jat has
6 largely taken the place of the Rajput ; but such Rajputs as there are are
7 Rajputs in very deed. In the jNIultan division the number of Rajputs re-
8 tm-ned is very large ; but I have already shown how large a proportion of
9 them should more jjroperly be classed as Jats, if indeed any distinction can
10 be drawn between the two.
11 443. Tribal statistics for Rajputs. — The figures for tribes will be given under the respective
12 groups to which they belnig. Tlicy are more thau usually inaccurate, partly because a Rajput is
13 so difficult of definition, but sliU more because tlie Rajputs are divided into a few gi-eat tribes or
14 royal races as tliey are commonly called, the Iculs of the Rajput annals, aud each of these tribes
15 again into innumerable local clans or saclii or gots. Almost every Rajput will refer himself
16 rightly or wrongly to some one of the great huh, as well as state the local clan to which ho beyond
17 all doubt belongs ; aud thus wo liavo members of the same clan and descendants of the same
18 ancestor returning themselves as belougiiig to different tribes, while multitudes of persons appear
19 twice over in tlie Abstracts, first under tlieir tribe or Tcul, and again under their clan or got.
20 It must be remembered that such of the figures as are shown for Rajput tribes in the
21 Abstracts of the following pages under the head Jat, refer to people who have returned themselves
22 as Jat by caste, aud Bhalti, Cliauhan, and so forth by trihe. In the great majority of ctises this
23 latter entry represents mere traditional origin, irather thau that the people in question actually
24 claim that they are Bhatti or Ohauhau at tlie present moment. In many cases they have returned
25 tlieir Jat tribe as well. Absti-act No. 78 below gives the numbers entered for various tribes under
26 Jat and Rajput, respectively, and shows how extensively this sort of entry has been made.
