Introduction

The name Rajput comes from the Sanskrit word rajputra, meaning “son of a ruler.” Rajputs were the class of South Asian warriors and nobles for centuries. At certain times, their warriors conquered kingdoms and defended the land; whenever possible they enjoyed the life of nobles. In the early 1970s, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi abolished the titles and property rights enjoyed by Rajputs. Today the Rajputs love to share about the military exploits of their ancestors, and many still serve in military service or own land. There are many Rajput subgroups and clans, one of which is the Bachgoti.

Ministry Obstacles

Long-standing traditions as well as spiritual forces keep the Bachgoti Rajputs away from the Savior no matter where they live. Reaching the Rajputs would be enhanced by knowledge of India's history and how the caste system affects their mindset.
