Some families disappeared (possibly with loss of status and profession), some did reappear through minor or subbranches here and there, but also new ones appeared on the scene.

We have to see whether Rajaputarta or Rajaputartava can be substituted for a class of people like Rajputs ,may be Bodhi and Bharatvarsha can enlighten us.

Narendra,
It is quite clear in Anushashan Parva. Please read the referenced chapter where Rajputra is used for kshatriya interchangably.

And why would you consider our own Mahabharata lower as a source compared to what a mullah court historian writes, who most likely had no idea about Sanskrit or what is mahabharata and on top of it makes such idiotic claims:

All these modern historians are wrong. If they had just done a little bit more research they would have seen there are umpteen number of inscriptions and references to rajputra kings in our history.
