There used to be four types of slaves in Rajasthan:
1. Both males and females who were the prisoners of war.
2. Males and females gifted as dowry in marriage.
3. Local sevaks (male attendent) and Sevikas (female attendants).
4. Ancestral attendants (males and females) who were the illegitimate offspring of their lord (master). Their generations (descendants) continued the practice of master and servant through ages.
