Multiple political scientists, including Atul Kohli and Rajni Kothari, state that Solanki was a Rajput,[4] but Lancy Lobo says that his Rajput origin is disputed and that he was an elite Koli. He was running Charotar Kshatriya Samaj, but later he was made co-editor of Rajput Bandhu periodical. Solanki and Narendrasinh decided to form an organization called Gujarat Kshatriya Sabha which would be for both Rajput and Koli castes.[1]
