Rava Rajput
Rajputs are historically valiant natives of the state of Rajasthan in India. All of them migrated from Rajasthan to the other states of India. At present we find them distributed throughout the entire country. However good it may not look at present, but castes in India have subdivided into the sub-castes on a social acceptance level. And so has happened to Rajputs.
Rajputs are concentrated in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, and also in some the south Indian cities.
Rawa Rajput is a diverse clan of the Rajputs, where many of them link themselves to different lineages. Rawa Rajputs belongs to only 6 kuls, namely Gaholot, Kushwaha, Tanwar, Yadu, Chauhan and Panwar, out of 36 kuls of Rajputs. Most of them put a title of Singh as their surname but many of them, who belongs to Tanwar Kul of Chandar Vans, identify themselves as Tanvar.
Majority of the population of Rawa Rajputs is concentrated in some villages - Naraina, Khampur, Basai Darapur, Titarpur, Nangal, Sagarpur and Jeevan park - which are now a part of New Delhi, 84 villages of District Bijnor, U.P, 27 villages near Khatauli in Muzzafarnagar, U.P., 3-4 villages in Meerut, U.P., a few villages in Saharanpur district, and in around 24 villages in newly created Baghpat, U.P. district of Western Uttar Pradesh.
History
Tanwars ruled Delhi from 736 to 1192. Anangpal Dev Tanwar (736-754) was the first emperor and Tejpal Dev Tanwar Diveetiy (1192-1192) was the last when Kutubudin Ahabhek captured in 1192. In the beginning Anagpur was the capital of Tanwars and Anangpal Dev Tanwar(2)(1051-1081) shifted it to Dhillikapuri near yoginipur and Mahipalpur. In 1009 Tirtya Rajput Sangh was made by JAIPAL DEV TANWAR with the help of other Rajputs and chatriyas kingdoms of the region. It was named as Rajput Waahini Dal or RAWAD and was a united army front to fight againest Mahmood Gajani. This Rajput Waahini was further strengthoned by KUMARPAL DEV TANWAR (1021-1051) and it was most glorious period of this united front. Because of this glory and honour all rajputs who constituted this rajput waahini were called as RAWA rajputs.
