Introduction

The name Rajput is derived from the Sanskrit word rajputra, meaning “son of a ruler.” Rajputs lived as a class of South Asian warriors and nobles for centuries. At certain times, their warriors conquered kingdoms and defended the land; when possible, they enjoyed the life of nobles. When the British Empire began controlling parts of the subcontinent starting in the late 1700s, they recruited Rajputs into their military. 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. Some Bundela Rajputs work as small businessmen or laborers.

Ministry Obstacles

Hindu Bundela Rajputs have a strong sense of pride in their historical exploits. Even today they enjoy high status which reinforces that pride. Pride is anathema to our Lord, and Rajputs will need to overcome this spiritual obstacle and accept the Kingdom
