Bais (clan)
Rajput clan of India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bais (pronounced [ˈbɛ̃ːs ˈraːdʒpuːt̪]) is a Rajput clan from India.[1][2]
History
Their wealth caused Donald Butter, a visiting doctor who wrote Outlines of the Topography and Statistics of the Southern Districts of Oudh, and of the Cantonment of Sultanpur-Oudh, to describe the Bais Rajput in the 1830s as the "best dressed and housed people of the southern Oudh".[3]
The Bais Rajputs were known for well-fighting spirit.[3]
