The city was originally known as ‘Vyagprastha’ - Land of Tigers (because of the population of tigers found many centuries ago. There are many versions of the story as to how the city derived it’s name. One version states that the city’s original name was ‘Vyagprasth’, while according to another version, the city has derived its name from the Hindi word ‘Vakyaprasth’, which means place of delivering speeches. Inspired by such words and versions, the city was finally named ‘BAGHPAT’ or ‘BAGPAT’ during the Mughal Era. After the mutiny of 1857 , the city gained importance and was established as the headquaters of Tehsil Baghpat.

The history Of Various Gujar clans
The history Of Various Gujar clans
Baisoya(Gotra)
Baisoya (Gujari: बैसोया) was one of the ruling clan of Gurjaras (or Gurjars). Alwar was under the rule of Gurjar king Karna Singh in 972 AD.
Origin
According to Gurjar Bhaat (Brahmins who keep records of family Generation of Gurjars). In 972 AD when Gurjar Saroha king Karna Singh was ruling, they migrated to Ghazni city of Afghanistan and fought with a Muslim king there. In that war they killed son of that king and to avoid further clash with the king they headed back to Bharat (ancient India). On their way to Bharat (Ancient India), they slept in a field of cotton (Bai) (In Gujari : Bai Soye). This Bai soye distorted to Baisoya with time.
Chechi
Chechi or Chechhi (Gujari:चेची) is a gotra (lineage) among the Gurjars. According to Ajmer patels they are Lor Gurjars (descended from Ramchandra's son Lava ). The Chechis are spread all over the world specially Central Asia. .[1] According to Rajputana Gazetteer Pushkar was held by Chechis until about 700 years ago.[2]
Chechis were also known as Yuechi. Yuechi were central Asian nomad people of Tarim Basin. They used to supply jade to chinese people. Jade is called "Yu" in chinese language. Therefore Chechis came to be known as Yuechi in Ancient China. Yuechi tribe of Central Asia[10] Yuezhi, Wade-Giles romanization Yüeh-chih, also called Indo-Scyth, ancient people who ruled in Bactria and India from about 128 BCE to about 450 CE. The Yuezhi are first mentioned in Chinese sources at the beginning of the 2nd century BCE as nomads living in the western part of Gansuprovince, northwestern China. When Lao Shang (reigned c. 174–161 BCE), ruler of the Xiongnu (a powerful people of North China), defeated them and killed their king, the main body of the Yuezhi moved westward into Sogdiana and Bactria, putting an end to Greek rule in both regions.Some of them also moved into India and came to be known as Chechi. They and related tribes are the Asi (Asiani) and Tocharians (Tochari) of Western sources. About 128 BCE the Yuezhi were recorded living north of the Oxus River (Amu Darya), ruling Bactria as a dependency, but a little later the Great Yuezhi kingdom was in Bactria, and Sogdiana was occupied by the Dayuan (Tocharians). The remnant in Gansu were called Little Yuezhi. A new dynasty, the Kushan, was subsequently founded by one of the five chieftains among whom Bactria was divided. The Kushan kingdom extended its power southward and eastward into India and northward into Central Asia. From the 3rd century, however, Kushan power declined, and about 400CE the Kidara dynasty arose in Gandhara; the latter survived only to about 450 CE, when it was overwhelmed by the Hephthalites(originally a Yuezhi tribe).
The names of places such as Chechenya, Chechian(POK) are coined after Chechis.
Today Chechi Gujjars Found in Rajasthan , Haryana , Punjab , Uttar Pardesh , Uttrakhand , Himachal and Jammu&Kashmir . In Rajasthan Ajmer Chechi Gujjars have more than 250 Villages , and Haryana Near Palwal and Kosi kalan they have about 48 villages , also they have good population in punjab in Nawansahr,Chandigarh,kapurthala districts.
The name Chechi also originates from Italy. As their are many Italians with the last name Chechi.Jury Chechi is a famous gymnast with the last name.
Chaprana , Chawda dynasty
The Chavda Kingdom or Chapa dynasty[1] also known as Gujar Chaparana[2] was an ancient Hindu Kshatriya dynasty which ruled northern Gujarat from 746 AD to 942 AD.
It is stated in Bombay Gazetteer that Chavdas/chapa were Gurjars.[3] Historians such as Vincent Arthur Smith, Peter N. Stearns, William Leonard Langer also mentioned that Chapas or Chapotkatas were one of the ruling clans of the Gurjars.[1][4]
History
Historian Vincent Arthur Smith states in his book "White Hun' Coin of Vyaghramukha of the Chapa (Gurjara) Dynasty of Bhinmal" that Chapa, Cahuda, Chavda, Chavotaka and Chapotkata are identical. Mr. Jackson regards Chapa as being the original form, Chapotkata a sanskritized variant, meaning 'strong bowman'. The chavda was a branch of the Gurjars who extended the power of the race in the south.[1]
However, others believe, that Chawuras of Saurashtra or Gujarat were neither of Solar or Lunar race and consequently, it is supposed they were Scythians. They must have established themselves in India at very remote period, for we find Gehlots inter-married with them, when they were rulers of Balabhi. The capital of Chawdas was at Deobander, near Somnath on west coast of Kathiawar.[5]
They settled down in Gujarat and later Saurashtra.The Chapa rulers were also titled as Rana. Therefore they were also known as Chaprana. The first king of the Chawra Kingdom was Jayshikhari Chawra. Panchsar, a city in north Gujarat, was capital of chapa Gurjara dynasty at the time of Jayshikhari Chawra. He was assassinated even before his son Vanraj Chavda was born. Vanraj Chavda went on to be the most successful Chawra ruler, founding historical cities such as Anhilpur Patan and Champaner. There were five Chawra kings after Vanraj. The last king Samantsinh Chawra did not have any children so he adopted his nephew Mulraj Solanki who overthrew him in 942 and set up what came to be known as the Solanki dynasty.[6]
Solanki and Chavda dynasty have also ruled over Kutch in mediveal peiod 921 AD to 1500 AD. It was after Chawda dynasty became weak Jadeja emerged as powerful and ruled Kutch till India's independence. In Saurahstra, Chavda kings once held sway over Port of Diu, Dwarka, Wadhwan, Prabhash Patan, Shiyalbet, Harshad (Minalpur), Chorwad, Koylana-Ghed, okha etc. Further,Varsoda Principality in Gujarat was ruled by Chawda kings till Independence on India in 1947.[7][8]
TOMAR/TANWAR
The Tomara (Hindi - तँवर , तोमर) (also called Tanwar and Tuar in local dialects) are a clan, who claim descent from the Chandravanshi lineage of Mahabharata.[4][5]It includes Gurjars[1] and Rajputs. Middle Ages - 1st Millenium A.D.
Historian Dr. Augustus Hoernle was of the opinion that the Tomaras were one of the ruling clans of Gurjars in the Gurjara-Pratihara era of North India- 4th - 8th century AD.,[1] ancient Kuru Kingdom continuing its existence in the ages when India was ruled by Gupta Kings. It remained one of the 18 Great States under Gupta Kings.[9] However, the lineage and existence of the clan predates the Gurjara entry into the Indian subcontinent by two millenias, and may have therefore been allied partners in the empire.
Indraprastha - Delhi The modern city of Delhi is believed to be on the site of Indraprastha.[10] Delhi was established in 736CE by the Tomar/Tuar king Anangpal Tomar-I who re-established the Pandava ancestral capital.
The Kingdom of Delhi was founded by Gurjar King Anangpal Tomar, whose dynasty, by virtue of descent from the Pandavas, claimed to be Lords Paramount of India —From A Pageant of India by Adolf Simon Waley[11]
Anangpal Tomar
The Tomara dynasty of Delhi lasted until Anangpal Tomar-II, who to quote Lt. Col. Tod, in his Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan was "justly entitled to be termed the paramount sovereign of Hindustan". Anangpal Tomar II appointed his grandson (daughter's son, and son of King of Ajmer), Prithviraj Chauhan, as the heir apparent. Some historians believe that Prithvaraj was merely a caretaker king as long as his grandfather was alive. Prithviraj was never crowned in Delhi, hence adding weight to the view that the Chauhan ruler usurped the throne from his maternal grandfather.[12][citation needed]. Anangpal Tomar II had 23 brothers and they each had territory of their own.[13]
According to records kept by bards (or Jagas), King Anangpal Tomar made Prithviraj Chauhan only as caretaker when he went on a religious pilgrimage, as his own sons were very small at that time. When King Anangpal Tomar returned back, Prithviraj refused to hand over the kingdom to his maternal grandfather
Today Gurjars have around 20 villages of Tomar or Tanwar Gujjars in and around Delhi which makes the perception strong that this was originally a Gurjar clan. These Gurjar Tanwars proved to be the toughest repellents to the Britishers in 1857 during the first war of independence. They captured the Matcalfe house for 12 days cutting all supplies to British Armies and declaring independence for Delhi (though for a small period of time only).[
Baisla
Baisla is one of the many clans of the Gurjars.They are also known as Bainsle, Baisla, Besle, Bansla, Bainsla and Baisle.
Etymology
During 8th century, there was one ruler under Gurjar Pratihars named Vishal Dev Chauhan from Ajmer. This Vishal Dev was better known by his nickname (or simple form of his name) "Bisal dev".Descendents of Bishal Dev Chauhan were called baisle or Bainsla.[1]
History Vishal Dev Chauhan Baislas are descendant of Vishal Dev Chauhan.Vishal Dev Chauhan, also known as Bissal Dev or Bisaldev were ruling in Ajmer during 8th century.Bisal Dev was brother of Mandal ji, who founded the Mandal lake near Bhilwara.God Devnarayan was born in the family of Mandal Ji. In the 8th century AD Bisal Dev Chauhan, is said to have successfully resisted an Arab intrusion.[2]He was also credited to help Gurjar tomars to gain control of Delhi.[3]
Gaur Brahmin The Gaur Brahmin or Adh Brahmin are a Brahmin sub-caste found in North India.[1] Gurjar gaur Brahmins were priests of the Gurjars (Gujars or Gujjars) during the reign of the Gurjars. They are very high classed Brahmans.
Nāgar Gurjar
Nagari or Nāgar is one of the various clans of the Gurjars.The other variations of Nagari are Nagara, Nagada, nagdi etc. They have special strength in Bulandshahr,Noida,Faridabad,Meerut,Ghaziabad Uttar Pradesh.[1]
History
Udaipur was ruled by Nagari Gurjars till the time of the invasion of Babur. Udai Singh Nagari was the last Gurjar ruler.[2][3][4]It is said that Nāgar Gurjars established their kingdom in 1st century along with Kushan Gurjars.The king was Maharaja Subhau Nagar.
Raja Nain Singh, who restored the fort of Parikshitgarh in eighteenth century, belonged to this clan of the Gurjars. He was the ruler of Parikshitgarh area. When Gurjars of parikshitgarh area participated in the Mutiny of 1857 , the fort was dismantled, to be used as a police station.[5]
BARGUJARS The Bargujar or Badgujars[3] is one of the ancient Hindu Suryavanshi Brahman[4], Meo, Rajput and Gurjar[5] and Rajput[6][7][8][9] clan of India Bargujars were originally Gujjars.[10] As per A.H.Bingley, the name of this clan is derived from Hindi bara ("great") and 'Gujar', forming "great Gujars". But he also mentions that Bargujars being of Solar race i.e. Suryavanshi and like Gehlots worship lord Rama and claim descant from Lava, elder son of Rama[11] Historian R. V. Russell also stated that Bargujars have been simply a section of the Gujjars.[12] Like most of the Gurjars, Bargujars also claim descendants from Lord Rama's elder son Lava.[13]hence they use the surname Raghav. Bargujars also use surname 'sikarwar'.
KASANA
Kusane or Kushane or Kush or Kushana or Kasana or Kansana Gujjaras are descendant from Kush, son of lord Rama.[4] and also known as to be Suryavanshi Kshatriyas.
Historians such as Sir James Campbell, General Crook, Colonel Todd, Mr. Forbs, Dr. Bhagwan Lal Inder Ji, Pran Nath Chopra etc were of the view that present Kasana gotra of Gurjars are successors of great Kushans.[1] General Cunningham also identified Kushans as Gurjars.[2] Word Gusur is referred in Rabatak inscription of Kushan king Kanishka. According to a number of scholars the Word Gusur, which means Kulputra or man or woman born in high family, in this inscription stands for Gujar or Gurjaras. Kasana clan of Gujars is found in northwestern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
KHATANA
According to Bards of Gurjars, the area beyond Kashmirl in earlier period was called as Khattan(real name Khotan) in India. The Gujjar kings serving as fuedatories of Gujjar Empire there were called the Rana of Khattan and hence Khatana. Khatana rulers ruled the kingdom Of Khotan(Tarim Basin) for many years. They got their name from Khotan(now Hotan).
After the fall of Gujjars Empire in 954AD, the other Gujjars kingdoms like Gujjar Chauhan of Ajmer, Gujjar Tanwar of Delhi, the Gujjar Chadellas of Kalinjar, The Gujjar Solankis of Patan, Gujjar Parmars of Malwa, Ujjain, and the former Imperials the Gujjar Pratihar of Kannauj stopped supporting them and started fighting among themselves. Hence Jai Pal Khatana and Anand Pal Khatana were defeated by Mahmud Gaznavi after a stiff resistance. Later when a joint financial help from Kannauj, Ajmer, and kalinjar was sent it was of no use since they already lost much of their fighting power by that time.
Saadu Maata Gurjari, mother of God Devnarayan belonged to this clan of Gurjars.He was daughter of Duda Khatana, the king of Malwa. Raja Dilip Singh Judev of Samthar also belongs to Khatana clan.
DEDHA
Dedhar or Dedha is one of the ruling clan of the Gurjars. The majority of Gujjar Dedhas reside in Northern India and Dedhars in Pakistan came from a small village called Samote in Surankote in India-occupied Kashmir. Dedhar could also be read as dedharyal in Northern Pakistan.
According to the Gurjar Bhaats (priests which keep family records of the Gujjars), Dedhars were branch of the Gurjar Pratihars. Like Gurjar Pratihars, Gurjar Dedhas also claim to be descended from Raghuvamshi Lakshmana, the younger brother of Rama.
Demographics
There are many prominent Gujjar families in the Pakistan's Kashmir region who travelled from Surankote. Some of the Gurjar Dedhar places are: Pramekot, Rahimkot, Riat, Dadyal, Mirpur, Bhalot Chowk (Mirpur), Mandi Village (Ddayal), Saliah Village (Dayal), Kund (Dadyal), Kotli, Sehnsa, (Khoi Ratta, Anderla Kothera, Shaheen Abad, Dakkhana, Phalini, Khor, Ghayeen, Kerjai, Barali Gala, Nidi Sohana etc.

Lohmod
Etymology
Lohmod is a Gujari/Hindi word, where "Loh" stands for Iron and "Mod" for Bending.They started using this surname from the day when their ancestor King Jagdev Panwar bended the Iron rod of Sanwa Mann (60 kgs) in Pushkar.Pushkar had been under sway of Gurjars and is still a Gurjar pilgrimage. So we can say every Lohia child with his/her religion Gurjar has his/her ancestor King Jagdev Panwar and blood in him/her is of Panwar Clan of Gurjar because of this both Clans have the brotherhood and no marriage are done with Panwars by Lohias and no marriages are done with Lohias by Panwars so, indirectly we can say that both are same Clans in respect of doing Marriages in.

Hoon
Hoon is a sub clan of Gujars. Hoon gujars are descendants of White Huns( Epthalites) who used to reign in central Asia along with Yuechi/ Kushans and Tochars. They were a branch of Yuechi/ Chechi Gujars who were left behind when Yuechis migrated to India. In 4th century AD they also came in India and joined their brothers. After their Assimilation with Gujars, Gujars became very powerful and they established many kingdoms in north western India. The Gurjars swayed the northwestern India and ruled for many centuries. Entire north western India was known as Gujar rashtra. Gujars were supreme power in those times. The title "Gurjar" was considered as the title of honour and bravery.
The first Hun attack under Chu-Han in 455 AD was repelled back by SkandaGupta and India was saved from Huns for a short period of 10 years. In 465 AD fresh Hun armies attacked Guptas under Tomar-han or Tomaran-1. This time the Guptas were totally vanished by Hunas and many flourishing cities under Gupta territories were completely demolished. The ruling seat of hepthallites was Sakala (modern Sialkot in paksitan). Tourman-2 was killed by Gupta ruler Bhanugupta in 510 AD. After him his son Mihirkul* (means Suryavanshi) took over the throne. He was also defeated by Yasodharman in 528 AD. The remainingHuns were assimilated into Gurjar population. The Huns ruled Kashmir until 567 AD under Vasukula, son of Mihirkula.
The Hephthalites/Huna with their capital at Bamiyan continued the pressure on ancient India's northwest frontier and broke east by the end of the fifth century, hastening the disintegration of the Gupta Empire. They made their capital at the city of Sakala, modern Sialkot in Pakistan, under their Emperor Mihirakula.

The last Hephthal king Narana/Narendra managed to maintain some kind of rule between 570 and 600 AD over the 'nspk' or 'napki' or 'nezak' tribes that remained after most of the Alχon had fled to the west.
Descendants
The last Huna King, Yudhishthira, ruled until about 670, when he was replaced by the Turk Shahi dynasty. Huna/
Hephthalites are among the ancestors of modern-day Pashtuns and in particular of the Abdali Pashtun tribe.
Karahana
Karahana is a sub clan of Gujars, Karahana were the rulers of Karahan Kingdom in Khotan / Khattan (Xin jiang, China)
The Karahan controlled the vast areas south of the Tianshan Mountains and Hezhong (Samarkand) in Central Asia.
The Uighur local regimes had very close relations with the ruling dynasties in the Central Plains. The ruler of the Karahan Kingdom called himself the “Peach Stone Khan,” meaning “Chinese Khan,” to indicate that he was a Chinese subject. In 1009, after occupying Yutian, Karahan sent envoys with tribute to the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). In 1063, the Northern Song conferred upon the ruler of Karahan the title of “King of Sworn Allegiance.” In the third year after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Gaochang Uighurs sent 42 envoys bearing tribute to the Northern Song court.
The Gujar sections
The Gujar Rawat Mandan got is found in the Bawal nizamat of Nabha. It traces its descent to one Rawat who fell in love with a damsel, Gorsi, whom he only carried off after a great struggle. His mesalliance cost him his status as a Rajput and he became a Gujar. The got derives its name from him and from the number of heads (mandaji) which fell in the struggle for Gorsi. This got is numerous in Jaipur, where it keeps its women in parda and forbids widow remarriage, but this is allowed in Nabha. Formerly the Rawat Mandan did not roof their houses or put planks to their doorways, though they now do so. A child's first tonsure should be performed at the shrine of Swami Pun Das in Rewari tahsil.
The Chokar Gujar of Nabha, who appear to be distinct from the Chhokar, trace their descent from Sankat, a Chauhan Gurjar Rajput of Sambhar in Jaipur, who was a great robber. Once on the road he forcibly espoused a beautiful girl whose kinsmen came to her aid, but Sankat sought help from Ban Deo and he and his comrades took the shapes of birds, and escaped. A barber too rang a wedding-bell in front of their pursuers, and they resolved to turn back. So the got of Sankat was called Chokar, ' one who misses,' and it still affects Ban Deo, holding the first tonsure of its children at his shrine in Jaipur, never burning cotton sticks for fuel and only using cotton after first offering it to Ban Deo.
In Nabha the Bhargar, Chaprana, Doi, Kasana, Kharana and Sardhana Gujars all vaguely claim Rajput origin, but unlike other Hindu Gujars they only avoid three gots in marriage, permitting it in the mother's father's got. They specially affect Devi and do not give the beestings of a cow or buffalo to any one till the Amawas, when they cook rice in the milk, place it on a spot plastered with cow-dung and then give it to their children. The Bhargar, like the Rawat Mandan, use no doors or roofs of timber, and ascribe this tabu to the fact that one of their women became a sati and a house raised in her honour was left incomplete.*
The Melu Gujars in Nabha are converts from Hinduism, but still avoid four gots in marriage. They do not build two hearths close together, or wear blue cloth. Their women wear gowns. This got never sell milk, lest the animal fall ill, but they may sell ghi.
The elements of the Gujars are not easy to describe. Local traditions, as has already been shown, vary as to the origins of many clans,
The Gujar elements
but the following addenda may be noted as to the clans descended from the various Rajput races ; —
Chauhan origin is claimed by the Bhalesar, ‘sons of Bhallu,' Babarwal, Jhandar, Kalsian (in Karnal).
Panwar descent is claimed by the Bahlot, Chhali, Phambhra, 'sons of Phamar’ and Paur*,
Jadu (Chandarbansi) descent by the Chhokar (in Karnal),
Janjua origin by the Barrah, Khokhar (Chandarbansi) by the Kawal (in Karnal), Manhas by the Dhinda,
Sombansi by the Dhakkar,
Surajbansi by the Saramdna, and
Tur by the Chhaman (in Karnal).
Folk-etymology and legendary lore have been busily engaged in finding explanations of various clan names among the Gujars. Thus of the Barras, (a word meaning 'holy') it is said that their ancestorFatihulla used to bring water from the river at Multan barefoot, for his spiritual guide's ablutions. One day the Pir saw that his disciple's foot had been pierced with thorns, so he gave him his shoes, but Fatihulla made them into a cap, as worthy to be so worn, and again his feet were pierced with thorns. The Pir seeing this blessed him and called him Barra.†
The Bharyar claim descent from Raja, Karn. The children of his descendant Raja Dhal always used to die and his physicians advised him to feed his next child on the milk of a she- wolf (bhairya), whence the name Bharyar. Buta embraced Islam in Babar's time and settled in Shahpur.
Of the Gajgahi section it is said that Wali, their ancestor, was a Khatana who wore a gajgah or horse's silver ornament, so his descendants are now called Gajgahi.
Another legend makes the Khatanas descendants of Raja Jaspal and the Pandavas- Jaspal had extended his dominions from Thanesar to Jhelum and, when Sultan Mahmud Sabuktagin invaded Hindustan, Jaspal met him at Attock, but was defeated and slain. His son, Anandpal, ruled for two years at Lahore and then fled to Hindustan, leaving two sons, Khatana and Jaideo or Jagdeo, of whom the former ruled at Lahore and turned Muhammadan. Other Gujar clans also claim descent fromAnandpal, and 'Sultan Mahmud assigned the Khatanas jagirs in Gujrat where they founded Shahpur, now a deserted mound near Chak Dina.
The Khatanas are not only a leading Gujar clan but have many off-shoots in the minor sections, such as the Gajgahis, Topas, Amranas, Awanas, Bhunds, Bukkans, Thilas, and the Jangal, Debar, Doi, and Lohsar clans.
Hindu Khatanas are also found in the Bawal nizamat of Nabha and there claim Tur Rajput origin, deriving their name from Khatu Nagar, a village in Jaipur. As followers of Bawa Mohan DasBhadawaswala
The Topas are really Khatanas and when the Jats and Gujars were competing for the honour of giving the biggest contribution to Akbar's rebuilding of Gujrat town one Adam, a Khatana, paid a lakh and a quarter of rupees into the imperial treasury, measuring the money in a topa, whence his descendants are so named.
Delhi was founded by Gujjar Tanwars
Delhi was founded by Gujjar Tanwars
Delhi was founded by Gujjar Tanwars and named after the Gujjar Pratihar Emperor Mihir Bhoja the Great as Mihirawli, now called as Mehrauli is still dominated by Gujjar Tanwars.
Mr. Kanwar Singh Tanwar belong to a village Fateh Pur. This is really a good pace of progress by Gujjar tanwars considering the fcat that no Gujjar Male of more than 12 years of age of Fateh Pur was left alive after the 1857 revolt.
All the three candidates for Delhi assembly seats are from Tanwar gotra of Gujjars.
Here is the report about him published in a leading National News Paper.
This BSP candidate is worth Rs 150 crore 11 Nov 2008, 0241 hrs IST, Dipak Kumar Dash, TNN Print Email Discuss Share Save Comment Text:
NEW DELHI: He is perhaps the richest candidate in the fray for the Delhi assembly elections. BSP nominee from Chhatarpur Kanwar Singh Tanwar disclosed that he owned movable and immovable assets worth Rs 150 crore while filing his nomination papers on Monday afternoon. His net worth is thus almost 15 times the MLA local area development fund an elected representative is entitled to during his five-year tenure.
In a scenario where the majority of candidates prefer to be "discreet" when it comes to disclosing their wealth, Tanwar says "submitting wrong information in an affidavit is a crime" and that's precisely why he was "honest" in filing his affidavit. "Why should I hide anything? Wrong disclosure does not help as people of my locality know about my wealth. They are aware I have joined politics not to make money but to work for them and my locality,'' the aspiring MLA said.
Tanwar was born to a village assessee. Now a large chunk of his disclosed wealth is in the form of agricultural and non-agricultural land which includes a farmhouse in his name and an apartment owned by his wife worth Rs 5.3 crore. Clubbed together the total comes to Rs 150 crore. Besides this, his affidavit submitted with the returning officer (Mehrauli) also includes a fleet of luxury cars worth Rs 1.66 crore. Three of them are Mercs and he also owns a tractor, an indicator of his rural roots. Tanwar, who has dabbled in real estate as well, belongs to village Fatehpur Beri near Chhatarpur.
Moreover, he and his wife have invested approximately Rs 4.16 crore in banks and bonds and both of them have jewellery worth Rs 21.5 lakh. Surprisingly, this politician has taken two loans amounting to Rs 24.95 lakh from two banks.
Tanwar, who is also the secretary of BSP Delhi state unit, claims neither he nor his family have ever shown off wealth. His close associates maintain that the leader has come this far through sheer hard work. In fact, this was evident when thousands of his supporters marched behind him when he started his padyatra from his village led by two elephants, the "live" party symbols.
Locals maintain the leader has earned enough good will with his social service in the last seven or eight years. "What's wrong if he has huge wealth? He has been running two AC dispensaries on wheels to provide free health care to the needy. He has been providing water free of charge to people with his fleet of over 20 water tankers,'' said Yogendra Bidhuri of Chhatarpur village.
Tanwar provides all these services under the umbrella of Narayani Devi Trust, which has been named after his mother and his father is the chairman of the body. This BSP candidate also distributes monthly pension to approximately 1,700 widows. "To ensure this continues, the trust has invested Rs 10 crore as fixed deposit,'' said one of his close aides.
Sure of his victory, the leader promises to bring maximum government funds to his constituency and to work for all round development of the locality. "I am not money hungry. With God's grace I have enough to take care of my family. I will give back to everyone if they elect me,'' Tanwar says.

Here I am providing the information of origin of Gurjara
Here I am providing the information of origin of Gurjara
Samrat Mihir Bhoja Mahan
has finished rashtrakuts forever and after his period of Gujjar Empire, Rashrakuts history is only imagination of the Indian Historians.r Empire.Among all the known Emperors of India from the first century onwards, the Empire of Gujjar Samrat Mihir Bhoja Mahan was the largest, except that of Kanishka, the Gujjar of Kushana Gotra. ( Some historians is of the opinion that Kanishka was from Khatana Clan of Gujjars). The outer boundries of Kanishka's Gujjar Kushana Empire were present day Georgia in Central Asia and present day Gujarat including Maharashtra and half of Karnataka.
Here I am providing the information of origin of Gurjara Pratihara. Nagara ( Gujjar Rulers of Nagavihara), Bajjad or Varajjara ( The Gujjar rulers of Vajra Vihara) are also the same as of Pratihara.As per the following historical record the Nagara, Varajjara and Pratihara clan of Gujjars seems to be the sub branch of the rulers of Khotan ( Khatana) which was one of the main branch of Gujjar Kushanas. It is clear that Vijaya Simha the Gujjar Khatana ruler made Pota-rya a great Vihara which is called as Potohar region of present day Pakistan. Similarly Bajaur ( Vajra Vihara), and Nagarhar ( Nagavihara) are located in present day NWFP and Afghanistan and the Gujjar rulers of these areas were Nagara and Varajjara Gujjars. Nagara and Varajjara are one and the same is also supported by the Gwalior inscription of Gujjar Samrat Mihir Bhoja Mahan.The Gujjar rulers of Pota-rya Vihara were called the Gujjar Pratihar. Here I would like to mention that All these Gujjar Gotras are ruling title of Gujjar Rulers during the days of Gujjar Kushana Empire.According to the "Annals of Li-yul" ( Rockhill: Life of Buddha, pp.238 ff), Vijayasimha, the successor of Vijayvirya married Chinese Princess Pu-nye-shar, the daughter of the ruler of China. She was responsible for raiming silk worms much against the wishes of her husband, who later on repented for his deeds. He called from India the Bhikshu Sanghaghosa and made him his spritual adviser, and to atone for his wickedness he built the Po-ta-rya and Madza Caitya and a great Vihara ( Stein: Ancient Khotan, p 230)

Gujjar inscriptions 4
[VIKRAMA-] SAMVAT-1016 Edited By F. KIELHORN, PH.D., LL.D., C.I.E.; GOTTINGEN.The stone which bears this inscription was found, about eighteen years ago, near the temple of Nilkantha Mahadeva, among the ruins of the city of Paranagar which are to the south of the village of Rajor or Rajorgadh, on a lofty range of hills in the Rajgadh district of the Alwar State in Rajputana, about 28 miles south-west of the town of Alwar; and it is now preserved at Alwar itself. The inscription was first published by the late Dr. Rajendralal Mitra, in the Proceedings of the Bengal Asiatic Society, 1879, p. 157 ff. from a transcript prepared by Pandit Bhavanda and his brothers, of Alwar; and it has again been printed in the Prachinalekhamala of the Kavyamala, Vol. I. p. 53 ff., from another copy supplied by the same gentlemen. I now re-edit the inscription from rubbings which have been procured for me by Dr. Fleet.The inscription contains 23 lines of writing which covers a space of about 1’/5” broad by 1’ 3-1/4” high, and is nearly throughout in a perfect state of preservation. The average size of the letters is about ½”.2 The characters are Nagari; they closely resemble those of the Harsha inscription of Vigraharaja, published with a photo-lithograph in the Epigraphia Indica, Vol. II. P. 116 ff. The language is Sanskrit, and excepting four benedictive and imprecatory verse, here ascribed to Vyasa, in lines 18-20, and another verse in line 21, which gives the names of the composer, the writer and the engraver, the text is in prose. The inscription has been written and engraved very carefully. In respect of orthography, I need only note the employment of the letter a for both a and b, the doubling of t and d in the conjuncts tr and dr, and the occasional use of revenue-terms, the exact import of which is not apparent, and some other words of unknown or doubtful meaning (pravani, tatti, chouskd, etc.) occur in lines 6, 16 and 17, and 22 and 23.The inscription (in lines 1-3) refers itself to the reig of the Paramabhattaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara, the illustrious Vijayapaladeva, who meditated on the feet of the Paramabhattaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara, the illustrious Kshittipaladeva ; and is dated, in words and figures, on Saturday, the 13th of the bright half of Magha of the year 1016. On this day the Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara, the illustrious Mathanadeva, of the Gurjarapratihara lineage, and a son of the Maharajadhiraja, the illustrious Savats, residing at Rajyapura, (in lines 3-13) informs his officials, the Jamajaamikas3 and others, and the mahattaras, mahatamas, merchants, pravanis4 and other inhabitants of the village of Vyaghrapataka, pertaining to the Vamsapotaka bhoja which Mathanadeva held possession of, that on the occasion of the installation (of the image, or the consecration of the temple) of the god Lachchhukesvara Mahadeva (Siva), so named after his mother Lachchhuka, he has granted to the god (or his temple) the village of Vyaghrapataka,-‘up to its proper boundaries,Note: See Sir A. Cunningham’s Archaeological. Survey of India, Vol. XX. P. 124-126. I have no doubt that Major Powlett rightly believed Rajor or Rajorgadh (i.e. Rajyapura) to the old name of Paranagar; and it seems to me highly probable that ‘the holy temple of Nilkantha Mahadeva, which is the most famous place of pilgrimage in this part of the country,’ and which Sir A. Cunningham has assigned to the 10th century A.D., is the very temple that is referred to in the inscription here edited.The grass and pasture land, with its rows of trees, with its water, with the bhoja and mayuta1 income, with all customary and not customary, fixed and not fixed receipts, the shares of all sorts of grain, the khala-bhiksha,2 prasthaka, skandhaka, marganaka, the fines, ten offences,3 gifts, treasures and deposits, the aputrikadhana4 and nashtibharata, and together with all neighboring fields, cultivated by the Gurjaras,- for the purpose of defraying the expenses of bathing (the god) three times a day, of unguents, flowers, incense, naivedya offerings, lights and oil, of applying white-wash and red lead, of repairing what may become damaged or broken, of public shows and putting on the sacred thread, and of paying labourers, gardeners, etc.’ Lines 13-15 show that the administration of this grant, in the first instance, was entrusted to the holy ascetic Omkarasivacharya (a disciple of Rupasivacharya, who again was a disciple of Srikanthacharya), a member of the Sopuriya line or school (of devotees) started at Amardaka, and inmate of the Nityapramuditadeva matha at Rajyapura, which was connected with the Gopaladevitadagapali matha at Chhattrasiva.5 And the donor (in lines 13-17) exhorts his successors not to obstruct, but rather always to assist the ascetic’s disciples and disciples’ disciples in the management of the property6 for the benefit of the god (or his temple). Lines 18-20 quote four of the customary benedictive and imprecatory verses ; and the main part of the inscription ends, in line 21, with another verse, according to which this charter (sasana) was composed7 by Dedda, written by his son Suraprasada, and engraved by Hari.Lines 22-23 then record certain additional taxes or tolls, the proceeds of which were to be made over to the same deity (or temple) jointly with the god Vinayaka (Ganesa, whose image or shrine was) set up in the lower grounds8 adjoining four chapels on one side (of the temple of Lachchhukesvara). So far as I understand this passage, these taxes were three vimsopakas, as customary in the market, on every jhataka-kupaka of clarified butter and oil ; two vimsopakasIn the Indian Antiquary, Vol. XIX. P. 23, I have already had occasion to shew that the date of this inscription, for the expired Vikrama year 1016, corresponds to Saturday, the 14th January, A.D. 960. This date enables us to prove, with a fair amount of certainly, that the sovereign Vijayapaladeva, to whose reign the inscription professes to belong, was a king of Kanauj. In the Epigraphia Indica, Vol. II. P. 235, I have attempted to shew that the three kings Vijayapaladeva, Rajyapaladeva and Trilovhanapaladeva, who are mentioned in the Bengal Asiatic Society’s plate of Trilochanapala, edited by me in the Indian Antiquary, Vol. XVIII. P. 33 ff., were rulers of Kanauj; and as that plate, for Trilochanapaladeva, gives us a date corresponding to the 26th June, A.D. 1027, there would, so far as regards the two dates, be no objection (of the year A.D. 960). And such an identification is supported by the fact that the Vijayapaladeva of this inscription is here stated to have been preceded by Kshitipaladeva. For we know that a king of this name, also called Mahipala and Herambapala, was actually ruling at Kanauj in A.D. 917-18, forty-two years before the date of our inscription.3 It is true that, according to the large Siyadoni inscription,3 Kshitipaladeva of Kanauj in A.D. 948 had been succeeded (not by Vijayapaladeva, but) by Devapaladeva ; but this would seem to be no very formidable objection to the proposed identification. For it might either be said that Vijayapaladeva was a younger brother of Devapaladev, in which case the omission of the elder brother’s name from the present inscription would not be without precedent; or we might assume that Devapaladeva and Vijayapaladeva are two names of one and the same king, an assumption in favour of which it might be urged that each of the three predecessors of Devapaladeva—Bhoja, Mahendrapala, and Kshitipaladeva—also bore each at least one other name. For the present, then, I do identify the Kshitipaladeva and Vijayapaladeva of this inscription with the sovereigns of the same names, known to us from the Siyadoni inscription and the plate of Trilochanapala ; and consider the Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara Mathanadeva, who made the grant here recorded, to have been a feudatory or subordinate of the kings of Kanauj.4 Of this Mathanadeva and his predecessor Savata nothing is known to me from other inscription; and I have not fund elsewhere any mention of the Gurjara-pratihara clan or family, to which they are stated to have belonged.Of the localities mentioned, Rajyapura, apparently Mathanadeva’s capital, is of course Rajor or Rajorgadh, or rather Paranagar, close to the modern village of Rajor, where the inscription has been found; and the village of Vyaghrapataka is said to exist still, near Rajor, under the name of Baghor.6 The place Vamsapotaka, which gave the name to the bhoja or district to which the village belonged, I am unable to identify. Nor can I identify the places Amardaka and Chhattrasiva, which are mentioned in connection with the ascetics to whom the management of the grant was entrusted. Chhattrasiva ought to be looked for in .The neighborhood of Rajor; and the name Amardaka I have previously found in the word Amardakatirtha-natha, the name or an epithet of a Saiva ascetic who is mentioned in the inscription from Ranod (Narod), published by me in the Epigraphia In Indica, Vol. I. p. 351 ff.

Kush and Gujjar history in urdu
اسلام علیکم۔۔۔ تاریخ انسانی میں ایک حیرت انگیز مماثلت پائی جاتی ہے وہ چاہے جدید محققین کی تحریر ہو یا قدیم مورخین کی لکھی ہوئی کتاب ہو ،، کوئی بھی مذہبی کتاب اٹھا کر دیکھ لیں ،، کسی بھی قوم کے مورخین کی تحریر پڑھ کر دیکھ لیں بات ایک ہی جگہ ختم ہوتی ہے ۔۔۔
دنیا کے سب سے بڑے مذاہب کا نقطہ نظر ایک ہے بس الفاظ کا ہیر پھیر ہے ہندو مذہب کہتا ہے کہ پرمیشور (دیوتاؤں کے خدا) نے زمین و آسمان کو پیدا کیا اور پھر اس پر اپنے دیوتا اتارے۔۔ اسلام، مسیحیت، یہودیت کہتی ہے کہ اللہ تعالی نے زمین و آسمان کو پیدا کر کے اس پر انسانوں کی اصلاح کے لیے اپنے نبیوں کو بھیجا،،،
عیسائی، یہودی، مسلمان طوفانِ نوحؑ پر یقین رکھتے ہیں جبکہ ہندومت کہتی ہے کہ ایک وقت میں ایسا قحط پڑا اور اتنا بڑا طوفان آیا کہ روئے زمین سے سارے انسان مٹ گئے بس ایشور کا بیٹا منو زندہ بچا۔۔ کشمیر کے پانی کے دیوتا نے اپنا نہ کھولا اور ساری زمین پانی سے بھر گئی
اگر ہم غور کریں تو فرق کیا ہے بس اندازِ بیان کا فرق ہے ۔۔ تمام مذاہب اس واقعہ کو بیتے ہوئے تقریبا 8000 سال پہلے کا مانتے ہیں اور تمام مذاہب اس بات سے متفق ہیں کہ موجودہ انسان حضرت نوحؑ یا منو کی اولاد ہیں ۔۔
اسی طرح دنیا کی تاریخ میں دریائے سندھ اور دریائے نیل کی اہمیت بھی اپنی جگہ ہے اور دنیا کی قدیم ترین تہذیبیں انہی دریاؤں کے کنارے ملتی ہیں وہ وادئ سندھ کی تہذیب ہو یا وادئ نیل کی۔ دنیا کے سب سے بڑے زرعی ڈیلٹا بھی انہی دریاؤں کے کنارے ملتے ہیں اور مزے کی بات دنیا کے مقدس ترین دریا بھی یہی کہلائے دریائے نیل کی اہمیت مصر والوں کے نزدیک دیوتا کی تھی اور دریائے سندھ کو ہندو آج بھی مقدس ترین مانتے ہیں (اصل لفظ سندھ ہو جو پرتک زبان میں ہند ہو گیا ورنہ سنسکرت میں سندھ کا ہی ذکر ہے ) جس نے گاندھی جی کو قتل کیا تھا اسی کی استیاں آج بھی پڑی ہیں کیونکہ وہ وصیت کر کے گیا تھا کہ میری استیاں مقدس دریا یعنی سندھ میں ہی بہانا۔۔
اب جدید اور قدیم تحقیق میں فرق صرف اتنا ہے کہ قدیم تحقیق کہتی ہے کہ گجر قوم نے دریائے سندھ کے اوپر والے علاقوں سے ہجرت کی مطلب دریائے سندھ تبت جہاں پاکستان، انڈیا،چائنا، اور وسطی ایشیاء ملتے ہیں اس علاقہ سے ہجرت کی اور جدید تحقیق کہتی ہے کہ گجروں نے وادی نیل میں جنم لیا اور اس اختلاف کا سبب بس کوش قوم ہے قدیم تحقیق کہتی ہے کہ موجودہ افغانستان کوش قوم کا علاقہ تھا اور یہی کوش قوم بعد میں گجر کہلائی اور جدید تحقیق کہتی ہے کہ نہیں ان کا علاقہ وادئ نیل تھا لیکن قدیم تحقیق صحیح ہے کیونکہ تاریخ کہتی ہے کہ نمرود قومِ کوش میں تھا اور اس پر بہت سے حوالہ جات ہیں کہ نمرود کی حکومت موجودہ افغانستان، عراق، شام ، ترکی، اور یوریشیا کے علاقے تھے یہیں سے بابل و نینوا تہذیب نے جنم لیا ۔۔ اور آج بھی ہزاروں شہر گجر قوم کے نام پر انہی علاقوں میں ملتے ہیں

kosh and khashteria and torchans
اسلام علیکم۔۔ ایک بائبل انتھروپولوجی کی امریکن سکالر مس ایلس لنزلے اپنے بلاگ میں جنسس 10 میں لکھتی ہے کہ بائبل کے مطابق گجر یا گرجر حضرت نوح ؑ کے پوتے کوش کی اولاد میں سے ہے جو وادئ نیل میں رہتے تھے اور حضرت ابراہیم ؑ کے دور سے بھی پہلے ان لوگوں نے وادئ نیل سے اپنی تجارت شروع کی اور سفر کرتے کرتے جنوبی ایشیاء اور چائنا میں پہنچے اور یہاں سے جاپان تک پہنچے۔ اور اور جہاں جہاں سے بھی گزرے انہوں نے اپنے لیے لفظ گرجر استعمال کیا۔ اور اپنے نام سے شہر بسائے ۔ اس کے نزدیک لفظ گجر کا مطلب تاجر ہے ۔ اور مختلف حوالوں سے اس بات کو ثابت کرنے کی کوشش کرتی ہے اور ڈی این اے سے بھی یہ ثابت کرنے کی کوشش کرتی ہے اور اس نے چائنا کے یوآچی قبائل جنہوں نے چائنا میں بڑی بڑی ریاستیں قائم کی اور کوشان جنہوں نے جنوبی ایشیاء اور سنٹرل ایشیاء میں اپنی حکومت قائم کی ۔ ان کو وہ ایک ہی قبیلہ گجر مانتی ہے اور کہتی ہے کہ ان کا ڈی این اے ایک ہی ہے اورہندوستان یہ کھشتری کہلاتے تھے ۔
پچھلے دنوں میں زبور اور توریت کے اردو ترجمہ کا مطالعہ کر رہا تھا اس میں بھی یشوع بن کوش کا ذکر ہے جس کو اللہ تعالی نے بادشاہت کے لیے چنا تھا ۔۔ اسی طرح ایک باب میں نون کے بیٹے (گجر گوت) کا ذکر ہے جس کو یشوع بن کوش کے بعد بادشاہت کے لیے چنا گیا۔۔
اگر ہم مصر کی تاریخ اٹھا کے دیکھتے ہیں تو مصر کے فرعونوں سے پہلے وادئ نیل پر کوش قوم حکومت کرتی تھی جس کے بادشاہ نمرود کہلاتے تھے ۔۔
بہرحال مصر کی کوش قوم اور ہندوستان کے کوشان، اور کھشتری، اور چائنا کے یوآچی قبائل میں گہرا رشتہ پایا جاتا ہے لیکن یہ بات قابلِ تحقیق ہے کہ کوش وہاں سے ہندوستان آئے یا ہندوستان سے وہاں گئے کیونکہ وادئ سندھ کی تہذیب ، وادئ نیل کی تہذیب سے زیادہ پرانی ہے اور یہ بات عین ممکن ہے کہ وادی سندھ میں جب ہڑپہ کی تہذیب کو زوال آیا تو کوش بھی اس وقت یہاں سے ہجرت کر کے وہاں پہنچے ہوں ۔۔
