charan
Chāraṇas (Charan, ''plural'' Charans) is a royal caste living in the Sindh, Rajasthan and Gujarat states of India. In recent times, Charans are a well reputed community in Rajasthan.
Charans are well known for their bravery, literature, excellency, sharp mind, poetry and the worship of Motherland. The Charans are also known as Deviputra. The members of this caste are considered to be divine by a large section of society. Women of the caste were adored as mother goddesses by other major communities of this region including Rajput kings.〔 The goddesses Hinglaj_Mata, Aavad_Mata, Tanot_Mata, Karni Mata, Bahuchara Mata, Khodiyar Mata, Mogal Mata and Sonal Mata are well-known examples of Charan Maha Shakti mothers. All Charan Maha Shaktis are represented with the word (aai ma), for example (aai shree khodiyar maa), (aai shree sonal maa).
Kings gave the caste grants of villages, and various kings also gave them Lakh Pasavs, large gifts equivalent to 100,000 rupees that usually consisted of elephants, money, and ornaments. The kings would also invite them to occupy a place in the Royal Courts. A Rajput's regard for a Charan was uppermost. Because of their ability to compose poems instantaneously, another popular way of addressing members of the Charan caste is "Kaviraj", which literally means "king among poets". Charans are considered to be the only Thakurs other than the Rajputs. Charans were always posted in the front lines of attacks in the armies.〔
==Social structure==
The Charan caste system is based on written genealogy. A Charan will consider all the other Charans as equal even if they do not know each other and have radically different economic or geographic status.
