59 444. Rajputs of the Eastern Plains. — The tril)cs which I shall first di.scus.s [P.
60 are divided into two groups. All but the last four are almost confined to the
61 Dehli territory, at least as Eajputs proper, and are roughly arranged in order
62 from north to south down the Jamna valley, and then westwards through
63 Rohtak and Hissar. The last four tribes carry on the series through Patiala,
64 Firozpui', and Gujranwala, and connect the Rajputs of the Eastern with those
65 of the Western Plains. The fu'st group belongs chiefly to the great royal
66 families of the Rajputs who, oecui^yiug the Dehli temtory, have not as a rule
67 superseded their old tribal designation by a local name, as has been so often
68 the case in the west of the Panjab. The great majority of them are descend-
69 ants of the Tunwar and Chauhan dynasties of Dehli. Their local distribution
70 is fairly well marked, the Tunwar lying to the north-west of the first group,
71 and shutting off the Jat Tribes of the Central Plains from the Rajputs of the
72 Dehli territory, their line being broken only, I believe, by the Chauhan colony
73 on the Ghaggar of the Hissar border. Next to them come the Chauhan,
74 Mandahar, and Pundir of the Kurukshetr, and the Rawat, Gaurwa, Bargujar,
75 and Jadu of Dehli and Gurgaou, followed by the Jatu, themselves Tunwar,
76 and the Bagri of Hissar. The Punwar colony of Rohtak will be discussed
77 with the Rajputs of the Western Plains. The Jats who are shown in the
78 Abstract on the next page* are very largely if not wholly true Jats, who have
79 retui'ned a real Jat tribe and have been shown under that trilie among Jats,
80 but have also entered the Rajput tribe from which they claim to be descended,
81 and are thus entered under that head also. The Rajput of these parts is a
82 tme Rajput. Living in the shadow of Dehli, the capital of his ancestral
83 dynasties, he clings to the traditions of his caste. He cultivates largely, for
84 little other occupation is left him ; but he cultivates badly, for his women are
85 more or less strictly secluded and never work in the fields, while he considers
86 it degrading to actually follow the plough, and will always employ hired
87 ploughmen if he can possibly afford it. He is a great cattle-grazier and as
88 great a cattle-thief. His tribal feeling is strong, and the heads of the village
89 or local group of villages have great influence. He is proud, lazy, sometimes
