Class composition of Rajputana Rifles
, first of all, Rajputana Rifles is a fixed class regiment of Rajputs and Jats. And they are recruited in equal proportion. Here are a few relevant sources:







I have an academic source, and it also supports the details of the above sources:

And the source cited by you in this edit is no different. Here is the relevant quotation from the page cited by you:

It is giving examples of multiple fixed class regiments and multiple combinations without any specific order. Still, Rajputana Rifles appears at the second spot among the regiments and "Jats and Rajputs" appears at the corresponding spot in the combination examples, which is correct. Ahirs appear only once in the list and that too with Kumaonis – a combination applied at Kumaon Regiment, which is also a fixed class regiment, and is listed in the above source as "Kumaonis".

So please stop adding Ahir here unless you can provide a source which states that Rajputana Rifles is a fixed class regiment of Ahirs and Rajputs, or Ahir and Jats. And I am sure you won't find any reliable source for such misinformation. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:23, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
