The Khanzada or Khan Zadeh are a cluster community of Rajputs found in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
A notable community is the Khanzadas of Mewat, the descendants of Raja Nahar Khan, who are a sub-clan of Jadaun[citation needed].
This family claimed descent from Bariar Singh, a Bachgoti Rajput, who said to have emigrated from Sultanpur in the 13th century.
[3][full citation needed][4] The Khanzada, however have been badly affected by abolition of the zamindari system, with many now destitute.
The community are also divided on sectarian lines, with the majority being Sunni, while a minority, mainly the ex-taluqdar families being Shia.
