Rajput Clans

Yeah you are true but there are other chandela's too,like Jat chandela,Chandela who are not Rajputs in UP,Bihar and MP.Frther the rulers we are talking about never called themselves Rajput. HW  08:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

May be there are other Chandels but this article is not about those people. If you are so concerned about it then put the link in ambiguous and thats about it. This article is about "Chandels" who built Khajuraho and they were definitely Rajputs. They were my forefathers and I can not let them be dishonored like that. Rajputs by definitions are "sons of rulers" and please bring forth the evidence which proves that they did not consider them "Rajputs". Otherwise stop vandalizing. Thank god you can't vandalize the Encyclopedia Britannica. Read on if you can afford it.

---It is interesting to see views on whether Chandels (Chandelas) were Rajputs or not! Hey, I can tell you for sure that the Chandels (Chandelas) were Rajputs as I too am a Chandel and am a Rajput (sorry, no casteism here) and am one of the proud bearers of the legacy of the Chandel (Chandela) dynasty which built the world famous Khajuraho temple! ---- Anju Chandel

[edit] Article Length

This needs to be split up into sections, or have some of the less (not) notable content removed. I know nothing about it, so I'm afraid I can't help too much – the length makes it a daunting task — alex.muller (talk • edits) 19:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
