The Chudasama are a Rajput[1]clan found in the state of Gujarat in India. They are offshoot of Samma (tribe) of Sind.[2][3]

Origin

The Anthropological Survey of India, notes the Chudasama are an offshoot of the Samma (tribe), probably of yadav[4]origin who entered India during the seventh or eighth century and are found in Kachchh, Junagadh and Jamnagar districts.[5] Some scholars, however, regard the Chudasamas as Abhiras.[6][7]
