RAJA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 865 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RAJA , the
Hindu
 
title
  for a
chief
 , or
prince
 , derived from the same
root
  as the Latin rex. Other forms are rao, tuna and rawal, while chiefs of high
rank
  are styled maharaja, maharao and maharana. The Hindustani form is rai, and the
title
  of the
Hindu
  emperor of Vijayanagar in S.
India
  was raya. It is not confined to the rulers of native states, being conferred by the
British
  government on Hindu subjects, sometimes as an hereditary distinction. In the form of rao it appears as a suffix to the names of most Mahrattas, and to the names of
Kanarese
  Brahmans.
