The Rathore or '''Rathor''' or '''Rathod''' ( Tribe of India . Rathors in India are a Rajput clan from the Marwar region of western Rajasthan , inhabiting Idar state of Gujarat and also the Chhapra and Muzaffarpur districts of Bihar in very small numbers. In India , their native languages are Hindi and its dialects (such as Rajasthani , Marwari and other languages of Rajasthan, Gujarati and Kutchi in Gujarat , as well as Punjabi in the Punjab a dialect of Punjabi called Rathi spoken in Ratia and Tohana in present day Haryana . Dynasties belonging to this clan ruled a number of kingdoms and Princely State s in Rajasthan and neighbouring states before India's independence in 1947. The largest and oldest among these was Jodhpur , in Marwar and Bikaner. Also the Idar State in Gujrat. The Maharaja Of Jodhpur , is regarded as the head of the extended Rathore clan of Hindu Rajputs. Even in the modern times the clout of this clan in the democratic world is such that a large number of MLAs and MPs have been elected from among them. EARLY HISTORY Based on "khyats" (traditional accounts) written in seventeenth century, it is surmised that the Rathores and Rathods were originally feudatories of the Ujjain i-based Gurjara - Pratihara Rajput dynasty, and may perhaps have been domiciled in the vicinity of Kannauj in the heyday of that dynasty. Pratihara-ruled Kannauj was sacked by Mahmud Of Ghazni in 1019 CE, which ushered in a chaotic period for that area. A family known to us as the " Gahadvala " dynasty gained control of Kannauj and ruled for nearly a century; their best-known dynast was Raja Jaichand , their last king. The Gahadvalas were displaced from Kannauj by the invasion, in 1194 CE, of Muhammad Of Ghor . It is said that Sheoji, a surviving grandson of Jaichand, made his way into the western desert with a group of faithful followers, finally settling in the town of Pali in Marwar, which was ruled by another branch of the Pratiharas. Sheoji is regarded as the patriarch of the entire Rathore clan and all Rathores and Rathods trace their patrilineage back to him. The tradition finds supports from a number of inscriptions found in the vicinity of Kannauj that mention several generations of a Rashtrakuta dynasty ruling there for two centuries. A very similar account is also mentioned in the " Rashtrayudha Kavya " of Rudrakavi, finished in 1595, who was the court poet in the court of the Rathore king, Narayana of Mayurgiri. MARWAR AND BEYOND The Rathores gradually spread across Marwar, forming a brotherhood of landowners and village chieftains, loosely bound to each other by ties of clan and caste. An epoch in the history both of Marwar and of the Rathores was marked by Rao Jodha , a warrior who founded a kingdom that grew to encompass all of Marwar. He also founded the city of Jodhpur in 1459, and moved his capital thither from Mandore . One of his sons, Rao Bika, with the help of his brave uncle Rawat Kandhal , established the town of Bikaner in 1488, in the Jangladesh region lying to the north of Marwar; that town was to become the seat of a second major Rathore kingdom. Some of these migrations from Marwar into Gujarat caused changes in language and the spelling of Rathore to Rathod, which is seen in clans present in Gujarat. Rathods of Gujarat trace their history to the city Jodhpur. The various cadet branches of the Rathore clan gradually spread to encompass all of Marwar and later sallied abroad to found states in Central India and Gujarat. At the time of India's independence in 1947, the princely states ruled by various branches of the Rathore clan included:
