This site provides a rich history of Rajput families of the Punjab. It includes brief descriptions of records and photographs, and provides short biographies of ancestors dating back circa 1830s to 1960s. Earlier records are available, but the information is in stacks of pages that need deciphering and translation, and the author has chosen not to include those in this site. The author was originally inspired by the stories told by family elders, and decided to put those stories in writing.

This site has been up since year 2000, but only recently (in April 2006) the author started updating the linked pages. Updates include both format changes as well as changes to written text. Links to the new or modified pages will appear in the site index.

History pages - These pages include photographs, records and brief descriptions of the Rajput personalities from the princely kingdoms of Punjab. The princely kingdoms were semi-independent and had treaties with the British Government of India. These princely kingdoms include the states of Bahawalpur, Nabha, Patiala, Jind, and Kapurthala. This site also covers the ancestors from the towns of Batala, Lahore, and Lyallpur.

Rajput pages – The Rajputs have a rich history in India, and comprise of many royal races (or clan or göt). The clans of the Punjab and their brief histories are provided in these pages. Much of the information is obtained from written sources and records from the Punjab. History of Rajputs becomes mythical as we go back in time; and this site provides a short version of this history as told by a well-known literary author from Lahore.

Arts of the Punjab kingdoms – The princely kingdoms of the Punjab are famous for their eclectic leaders, with their unique palaces, carpets, cars, carriages, and portraits. The author developed several pages with examples of these unique arts, culture, artifacts, buildings, vehicles, coins, paintings, etc., as they relate to the Rajput ancestors.

Field hockey pages - The author has been involved in the sport of field hockey for a very long time; initially as a player, coach, umpire, and now the current president of Northern California’s Bay Area Field Hockey Association (Bafha). Bafha is a premier men’s field hockey league, and its history goes back to the early days of 1970s; and several pages provide this history. Links are also provided to the official Bafha site.

Environmental pages - The author is an avid environmentalist and during his research, developed a sense for the flora and fauna of the Punjab. Several pages covering the environment are presented; and connect natural events such as floods or famines to historical events in the Punjab.
