Discussion
Based on fire pit theory, James Tod proposed foreign origin of Rajputs from which of the following ?
Answer: C
Tod derived the Rajputs from the Scythians.
The Agnikula legend says that four Rajput clans, the Paramaras, Pratiharas, Chauhans and Chalukyas, were born from a sacrificial fire pit on Mount Abu. James Tod, in his Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, read this as a story of purification and argued that the Rajputs descended from Scythian invaders who were admitted into Hindu society.
Afghans and Turks entered India far later than the Rajput clans emerged, and the Yueh-chi (Kushans) were not Tod's identification.
