Well, Rana belongs to Royal Family. They are of general caste in Hindu. If Rana is a Sikh or Muslim or Christian then I can't say. But I guess, a sikh rana is also of general category. Other religion might not follow caste system.
General caste.....
Dhatwalia Rajput are the members of lunar dynasty (Chandravanshi) of subcaste of Katoch clan which mostly exists in dhatwal sub tehsil of Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh. They are also known as Dhatwalia Ranas or Thakurs.I also belong to this dhatwalia subcaste with Rana surname in Dhatwalia.
Rana is a title mainly used by rajputs in Haryana and west up especially north haryana like panchkula,karnal,ambala,etc and himachal and uttarakhand also. Rana community is synonymous with rajput (kshatriya). Around 100 years ago,jaats of haryana who were pastorals started adopting titles of rulimg community of rajputs(both hindu and muslim ranghar) so now they use every rajput title possible in haryana especially. Whereas in rajasthan except singh they dont use any other. Many jats have rajput ancestry too like sinsinwar jats of bharatpur from jadaun rajputs.
Rana ( are Thakhur ) is a upper caste like pandits cate. Rana comes In General Category. But some use OBC.
