So rAShTrakUTa is not an ancient India kShatriya family? Are you saying Rathod is not related to rAShTrakUTa? Rather remarkable claim - what is the alternative?

Sorry if I created the impression that rashtrakuta are not kshatriya. That was not the intent. Rashtrakuta's were most definetely kshatriya and extremely brave people. Who can forget Dantidurga's routing of the Arab army?
My point was just in response to the connection between rathores and rashtrakutas.
This point is still debated. Some consider rathores scions of Jaychand of Kannauj and others consider them of rashtrakuta descent. I am still researching this point and have not reached any conclusion. Up until a few months back I was more then 50% sure that rathores and rashtrakutas were indeed related but now I am looking at some material which seems to suggest they were connected to Jaichand. I will update you once I am convinced one way or the other.
