Solanki (clan)
Solanki also known as Chaulukya is a clan name originally associated with the Rajputs[1] in North West India but which has also been borrowed by other communities such as the Saharias as a means of advancement by the process of sanskritisation.[2][3] Other groups that use the name include the Bhils of Rajasthan,[4] while the Gurjars have a similarly-named clan that has a myth of origin akin to that of the Agnivanshi Rajputs.[5] It is also found among Jats.[6] It is also because the people who used to serve the Solanki Rajput clan rulers, used to adopt the clan name, thus it is seen in other caste as well.”
