raja
A hereditary prince among the Hindus belonging to the warrior caste, or the Kshattriya. In later times it became a title given by the British government to Hindus of rank, and is now not uncommonly assumed by the zemindars, or land-holders; the title of Maharajah, or “great Rajah,” being in these days generally reserved to the more or less independent native princes.

A Raja (Sanskrit "राजा" (rājā), also spelled Rajah) is a monarch, or princely ruler of the Kshatriya varna.
The title has a long history in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, as it is found in the Rigveda. It can also be used as a name for non-royal Indians.
In Pakistan, Raja is still used by many Muslim Rajput clans as hereditary titles. "Raja" is also used as a name by Hindus and Sikhs.
