Rai is a title of honour in India and Pakistan, mainly among Rajput but also among Bhumihar Brahmins and the Bunt community of south india. It is derived from Raja (king, prince or chief) and the Telugu / Marathi variant is Rao, while the Bengalis use Roy. Its nearest English equivalent is "Lord".Rai was a title of honor for certain Jatt and Rajput rulers in Northern India, particularly in Rajasthan and Punjab. The title today is found mostly in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Punjab and the Pakistani province of Punjab. In the major Islamic state of Hyderabad, it was the lowest of the aristocratic ranks (in the Mughal Padshah court's Persian tradition) for Hindu retainers of the ruling Nizam, under Raja, Raja Bahadur, Raja Rai Bahadur, Raja Rai-i-Rayan Bahadur, Vant, Maharaja and (the highest) Maharaja Bahadur.
