The Pundir (also spelled Pandeer, Pandir, Pundhir, Pundeer or Poondir) is a clan of Rajputs based in Uttar Pradesh. HistoryEric Stokes noted that {{quote|In the Katha the Pundir Rajputs stood out as the dominant landholders, dwelling together as a formidable clan that had never been properly brought under close administration. A proud, hardy race ... they possessed a long history of turbulence. Significantly they had successfully warded off alien intrusion ... So formidable did they appear as adversaries before the recapture of Delhi at the end of September 1857 that the British left them severely alone, despite their attacks on Deoband town and in similar depredations.[1]}} References1. ^{{cite book |title=The Peasant and the Raj: Studies in Agrarian Society and Peasant Rebellion in Colonial India |first=Eric |last=Stokes |authorlink=Eric Thomas Stokes |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=1980 |isbn=978-0-52129-770-7 |page=172}} Further reading
