Bais (clan) explained
The Bais (pronounced as /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]
