Now or Never


Major world powers remained hell bent to promote their geo-political interests by playing one country off against the other from time to time, Both India and Pakistan have created highly nationalistic narratives of why their relations are troubled. Each side projects itself as pursuing the correct course of action and blames the other side for being responsible for conflict and tension in the region. On both sides, there are people and groups that have made careers out of preaching hatred against the other side. They have been socialised into a negative narrative about the other side and find it difficult to entertain the idea of normal relations between Pakistan and India. There is no scope for improvement of relations if India and Pakistan stay prisoners of history and cannot look beyond the historical baggage. Both sides will have to do some out-of-the-box thinking if their relations are to be normalised. They will have to address their blind spots if they want to resolve their bilateral problems. There is no solution of the Kashmir issue if both sides stick to their traditional positions: both r arguing that Kashmir is their integral part and Pakistan is also demanding that the future of Kashmir should be decided in accordance with the UN resolutions of 1948-49. They will have to find a solution through negotiations. Despite of all these facts, we Gujjars of the India and Pakistan r committed for peace. our love and care is live example can be seen in instant group. Unfortunately our talent is also ignored rather suppressed by anti gujjar elements. Today I am going to invite all members to discuss the one of our great hero Ch Rehmat Ali Who is credited with creating the name "Pakistan", is unfortunate to have not even two yards for grave in Pakistan, and is buried in Cambridge, UK. After the creation of Pakistan he returned to Pakistan in April 1948, planning to stay in this country, but he was ordered by the then Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan to leave the country. His belongings were confiscated, and he left empty-handed for England in October 1948.He died in February 1951 and was buried on 20 February at New market Road Cemetery, Cambridge, UK. Emmanuel College's Master, who had been Rehmat Ali's Tutor, himself arranged the burial in Cambridge on 20 February 1951. Ch Rehmat Ali was born on 16 November 1897, So on the occasion of his coming birthday, i invite all members to highlight his role as founder of movement for creation Pakistan and an author of a famous pamphlet titled "Now or Never

Gujjars in Mughal Era... Ch Zafar Habib



Gujjar the beginning of the 17th century, the decline of the Mughal emperor was actually the beginning of the Gujjars in the Mughal era. There was an increased power of the Gujjars at that point of time. Finally Aurangzeb accepted the lordship of the Gujjar leaders in various principalities. The chief Gujjar power of the Mughal era are mentioned below
Gurjar in Bharatpur district
Bhati of Dadri
Dera Gazi Khan
Gurjarghar
Pawar of Landhore
Gurjar of Maharastra
Nangde of Parikisatgarh
Judeo of Samther



The Gurjars and the Jats of Agra stood together at the time of Surajmal Jat. After his murder, his fourth son Ranjit Singh and the Gurjar chief Motiram Baisla of Sundraoli signed a pact of treaty. As Surajmal had taken the lead on his son Motiram Baisla became the army chief of Bharatpur. In 1803 CE, after a stubborn fight, the Gujjars and Jats were defeated and thus, Bharatpur district remained as a small territory under the British rulers. A great body of Bhati Gurjars along with Dave and Kala Gujjar settled south of Delhi on both sides of  Yamuna River with their head quarter at Kasna. The Bhati Gurjar occupied 360 villages. In 1540 CE Sher Shah felt the power of Gurjars round about Delhi and they took vigorous proceeding against them. Akbar allowed these unruly Gurjars to settle IT the area. After the death Aurangzeb, the Maratha hordes of the south plundered the north and the Gurjars again took on arms. Another Bhati Gurjar chief namely Rao Amra had ousted the unruly chief of Bhurta clan and established himself as Raja at Dadri. His successor Raja Roshan Singh was ruling when the British occupied the area.



Gazi Khan Baloch founded a city Dera Gazi Khan after his name near about 1710 CE. Gazi Khan Baloch was appointed as the administrator and he proved himself as a great administrator. Mahmood Khatana with his Gurjar military personals crossed the river Indus and brought the whole area comprising the districts of Mujjafargarh and Faislabad under his total control. He constructed a fort at Dera Gazi Khan. The British annexed Gurjar Ghar to Gwalior and some portions of its area amalgamated to districts of , Murena and Dholpur and a portion to the district AgraUttar Pradesh . Every Gurjar in Gurjar Ghar holds its own territory. The ancestors of the Gujjars in Maharashtra had been destroyed and that is why they migrated to the south. The rulers of Samshergarh were actually a sub-caste of the Gujjars. They belonged to the Khatana sub-caste.But unfortunately, most of these states and the powers of the Gujjars were finished by the British rulers.
