Rabari herders

Rabari and Bharwad herders graze the scrub between the Little Rann and the Jhalawad plain, in a country that carries camels, cattle and sheep and takes no town.

The Charan bards belong to the same country and carry the genealogies of the Rajput houses. No chief of any of these peoples is named in a source we reached for 1200; we include them because the brief asks for them where a source names them, and none does.
