They are sub-divided into various tribes, such as the Bhatti, Sodha, Tonwar and Rathore, and further divided into firkas or sub-clans. Their main firkas are the Samma, Panwar, Gajju, Bhayo, Panno, Sithar, Soomra and Mahar. The Samma clan is called so after the name of its founder and traces its pedigree to Bhati Rajputs.
