Kshatriya (Sanskrit: क्षत्रिय, romanized: Kṣatriya), derived from the Sanskrit word kṣatra meaning "rule" or "authority," and also referred to as Rajanya/Rajputra/Rajput, represents one of the four varnas (social orders) in Hindu society. This varna is traditionally associated with the warrior and ruling aristocracy.
