Solanki Rajput in India

The name Rajput is derived from the Sanskrit word rajputra, meaning “son of a ruler.” Rajputs were a class of South Asian warriors and nobles for centuries. At certain times, they were the warriors who conquered kingdoms and defended the land; when possible, they enjoyed the life of nobles. When the British Empire began controlling parts of the Subcontinent starting in the late 1700s, they recruited Rajputs into their military. In the early 1970s, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi abolished the titles and property rights enjoyed by Rajputs.

Ministry Obstacles

Solanki Rajputs have a strong sense of pride in their historical exploits. Even today they enjoy high status which reinforces that pride. Rajputs will need to overcome this spiritual obstacle and accept the Kingdom of God like small children if they are going to enter it.

Scripture Focus

"Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."  Jeremiah 1:9-10

Scripture Prayer

Pray for Christ’s ambassadors to be careful to speak only what God tells them to say when they go to the nations.

Prayer Focus

Pray the Lord will give Hindu Solanki Rajputs a spiritual hunger, then satisfy that hunger. Pray that these Rajputs will understand the value of becoming part of God's royal family. Pray for a humility for all Rajput communities to fall at the feet of the King of kings. Pray for a movement to Christ among every Rajput community.
