Wikipedia:Gaur Rajput

The Gaur Rajput (also Gour) is a clan of the Rajputs in India. Gaur Rajputs claim to descend from the mythical Solar Race, aka the Sūryavaṁśa.

However, historians state that such illustrious descent has no historical basis, and was fabricated by Brahmins in order to give the low caste and mainly illiterate warriors greater status and prestige in a process called Rajputization.
