Rangreta Sikh edit

Rangreta Sikh[1][2] or Majbhi Sikh[3] ( mazbhi[4] means a person with a strong zeal for religion , Faithful ) is a community in Sikhism religion.[5]They have links with the Kshatriya Varna and their DNA matches with the earliest Rajput’s and Brahmins of the Indus valley civilization. Rangreta community was the earliest warrior clan of Indus valley Civilization who have fought against the Aryan invasion.[6] During the Aryan invasion Indus valley civilization people's shifted toward southward of Indian continent, but some warriors of Indus civilization do not want to leave their home, that Warrior class was Known as Chudamani Senik or Jewel warriors or great warriors of Indus valley. Soldier were called Dhaanks or archers and Chudamani was their army chiefs and generals. But due to migration of their peoples toward south of India and continues invasion of Aryans, their counting was less in numbers and due to this they have to adopt the new religion of Aryans. They work as Fighters, labors, traders and some of them remains rulers of clans at that time.[7] Rangreta dynasty or community got this in medieval phase of Indian history, from the adoption of Din-i-ilahi religion created by Mughal emperor Akbar. In this religion, one should gave their military, skills and craft services for the benefit of Mughal empire and can practice their previous religion. Even they can marry other religion's men or women without withdrawing their previous religion, caste, or any other social practices. Rajput's, Dhanka, Brahmins, kshatriyas and Vaishyas have adopted this for their survival and commercial purposes, as time was very difficult for daily survival, due to this many castes and gotras have changed their profession which was not assigned by their families varnas profession. So the Khokkar Rajput and many other brahmins, kshatriyas, Vaishyas have changed their profession for their livelihood. Hindu families that have talent of craft, swordsmanship, or any other ability have been purposed to work for Mughal empire. Birbal brahmin in Mughal court of Akbar was an example Din-i-ilahi.[8]After the death of Mughal Emperor Akbar Din-i-ilahi starts to get perish from the societies, and Brahmanical society started to grow again at its peak, as new rulers do not promote Din-i-ilahi as Akbar had. So the Muslims' families who had adopted Din-i-ilahi had been accepted in Islam by the Maulvis and given the title Muslim Ranghar Rajput. But Hindu families who had adopted din-i-ilhai were not accepted in Hinduism by the Varna system creator Brahmans[6][8]. So they first called Hindu Ranghar, then the other generation called Rangreta and next one Rangretde by the society and brahmans. So this particular community which were Brahmins, Rajput's, Dhanka, kshatriya and Vaishya in nature, were placed as Rangreta community in Hinduism by Brahmans and placed at fourth position in order of Varna system in Hinduism.
