The Kanet is a caste found in the state of Himachal Pradesh in North India. They are generally regarded as a Thakur (noble) caste, even though they have sometimes been classified otherwise. Kanet/Kunait is one of the Rajput Clans Native to East Himachal. Kanets Claim themselves to be the Descendants of Hill Rajas of an Ancient Kingdom. Ethnically and linguistically, Kanet/Kunet Rajputs residing in middle and lower hills of Himachal are of an Indo-Aryan stock such as other Rajput clans, but there are also mixed Mongoloid-Tibetian stock of Kanets in Kinnaur and Lahul. Kanet/Kunait Rajputs that are of indo aryan stock are the Landlords and are known by the title Thakur, Although during British times they were considered one of the agriculturalist castes of Himachal like Ghirth. The term agricultural tribe, according to the Punjab Land Alienation Act, 1900, was at that time synonymous with martial race. Recent genetic analysis showed close genetic affinities b/w the Brahmins and Hill Rajputs with Thakur Kanets.
