Some scholars such as K. M. Munshi (himself a Gurjar) speculate that the Pratiharas, the Parmaras and the Solankis were Gujjar. But the origins of these dynasties are uncertain and debated. Scholars such as Dr. K. Jamanadas and D. B. Bhandarkar stated that the Pratiharas were a clan of Gujars. According to many versions, the Solanki rulers were Agnikul Rajputs, while historian Suryanath Kamath believes that they were of Karnataka origin..
