A few clarifications on Raja Todar Mal.

I am the direct descendant of Todar Mal. In the article that is being circulated it mentions that we are Tandons. Well, most in the comunity associate us with Sood due to the linkage with Akbars revenue minister. However we are neither although we do know that we are Vedic Ksyhatriyas.

Various pieces of history put together point us to be more of a clan that were similar to Rajputs but had considerably got distanced later as you mus remeber that Todar Mal died much before the Rajputs gained prominence.

That explains the fact how Todar Mal was a warrior also. Our mingling with mainline khatris is a result of inetrmarriage and even if one looks at our recnt history we have been a very open,& educated family. Even my great great grandfather had compete formal education. There was no remarriage even 200 yeras back in the family.

Girls were educated and had no differentitaion. Hope this clarfes some points. sanjay
