Rajasthani People
Rajasthani people or Rajasthanis are a group of Indo-Aryan peoples native to Rajasthan ("the land of kingdoms"), a state in Northern India. Their language, Rajasthani, is a part of the western group of Indo-Aryan languages. History The first mention of the word ''Rajasthan'' comes from the works of George Thomas (''Military Memories'') and James Tod (''Annals''). Rajasthan literally means the ''Land of Kingdoms''. However, western Rajasthan and eastern Gujarat were part of "Gurjaratra". The local dialects of the time use the expression ''Rājwār'', the place or land of kings, later ''Rajputana''. Although the history of Rajasthan goes back as far as the Indus Valley civilization, the foundation of the Rajasthani community took shape with the rise of ''Western Middle Kingdoms'' such as Western Kshatrapas. ''Western Kshatrapas'' (35-405 BC) were rulers of the western part of India (Saurashtra and Malwa: modern Gujarat, Southern Sindh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan). They wer ...

In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of p ...
