Rishivanshi

Rishivanshi Rajputs are considered to be progeny of Rishi (saints) and Kshatriya, also known as Brahmin(yogis) Kshatriya.A group of historians, which includes Jai Narayan Asopa, theorized that these Rajputs were Brahmins who became rulers.Rishivanshi Rajputs have Gotras like Gautam , Dixit some of them converted to Islam and known as Gautam Khanzada and Dikhit Khanzada.

Another Rajput tradition believes that Sengar come from Gautam gotra, where rishi Gautam who is one of the seven Saptarishi was their ancestor, therefore, Sengar claim to have Gautam gotra.[1]
