[edit] Citations needed for historical facts

The article mentions in ancient history section about kingdoms of Rajputs in 6th century. The term Rajput was invented about 7th century AD. It seems speculation. Thakur Deshraj is one of the prominent Historian. He has mentioned about Rajputs in his book on Jat history page 113-114, The Gazetteer of India Vol 2 (page 307-308), Which deals with the Rajputs writes as under:

"Then between the 7th and 8th centuries the old racial divisions passed away and a new division came in founded upon status and function.... The rise of Rajputs determined the whole political history of time. They made their first appearance in 8-9th centuries; most of the greatest clans took possession of their seats between 800 and 850 AD. ..."

In view of these facts the ancient history of Rajasthan needs revision. If the contributors feel they have facts they may provide in the article. So I have put citation tags. --burdak 04:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
