It was founded by the Pandava brothers of Mahabharata as Vyagprastha. Barnava, near Binauli is the site of the Lakshagriha, the lac palace that was built by Purochana a minister of Duryodhana to kill the Pandavas. District Baghpat is one of the district of Uttar Pradesh.The city is Located on the banks of river Yamuna.It is 52 KM from Meerut City and is on the main Delhi – Sharanpur Highway around 40 KM from Delhi.In the north of the district baghpat there is district Muzaffarnagar,in the south district Ghaziabad,in the west river Yamuna and district Rohtak of Harayana.The shape of the district Baghpat is rectangular which area is more in north to south than east to west.It is very closely located to (around 40 Km) the national capital New Delhi.
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 city was previously as small town and had a small commercial center known as the Mandi . This mandi is now more than 200 years old and was set up by Jabita Khan , son of Ruhela Chief of Najibabad ( Bijnore ) Najib Khan . PURA MAHDEV is a famous Temple of Lord Shiva and Lakshagraha place related to MAHABHARATA in Bagpat. The main commercial activity of the people living in this region is agriculture and making-selling GUD and Sugar. Harappan graves: The largest Harappan necropolis in Indian subcontinent has been discovered near Sanauli village on the banks of Yamuna in Bagpat. One of the discoveries is a grave with a sword and sheath which represents the Ganga valley civilization of third and second millennia BC. This suggests that there was an intermingling of the Harappans and the Gangetic civilization. The cemetery seems to have been used over several centuries as burials. The tentative time bracket has been given from 2200-1800 BC, which puts it in Harappan period.

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.

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 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.

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.

Pir Samiullah gujjar khatana

Pir Samiullah gujjar khatana was the first tribal leader in Swat to raise a lashkar, or tribal army, to oppose the Taliban. He claimed to have organized more than 10,000 tribesmen to oppose the Taliban and protect 20 villages. Samiullah and his followers are members of the Gujjar community, which is a group distinct from the dominant Pashtun tribal confederations that support the Taliban.

Pir was rival tribal and religious leader opposing Mullah Fazlullah's forces in the Matta region of Swat. Pir and eight of his followers were killed in a Taliban assault on Dec. 16 2008. Two of his aides were subsequently beheaded in public, while an estimated 40 of his followers have been captured. The Taliban also torched the houses of Samiullah and 15 elders of his group.

v Gazni,

vi Kapisa,

vii Gardez,

6. The Gujjars played a leading role in war (Jehad) against the U.S.S.R. since beginning in the year 1979. Mir Afzal Chechi of Kunnarr Province was one of the leading founders to organise and start the war(Jehad) to liberate Afghanistan from the clutches of U.S.S.R., who also sacrificed his life for the sacred cause. Malik Sher Afzal and Malik Qabeel of Kunnarr Province also significantly contributed towards organizing the war and Jehad against the U.S.S.R.

8. The thousands of Gujjar Mujahideens sacrificed their lives while fighting against USSR during the period of cold war. A large number of Gujjars had to migrate to Pakistan and other neighbouring countries during and after the cold-war. The majority of Gujjar migratees were living in Bhai Cheena Camps, Anayat Kaley Camps in Bajorr Agency, Dodaba Camps and Ranrri Camps in Dir district of Pakistan.


9. The culture, language, customs and traditions of the Gujjars are entirely different than the pushtoon ethnic stock. The Gujjars of Afghanistan speaks Gujjari language, the language that also spoken in most of the areas of Indo & Pakistan and enjoys its representation on a number of state owned Radio and Television channels in India and Pakistan.


10. It will be worth mentioning that the Pushto speaking population do not belong to one community, tribal or racial group rather they are devided into Shanwaris, Afridis, Safis, Khattaks, Mashwanis and Yousafzais, etc. etc., whereas, on the contrary the Gujjars of Afghanistan belongs to one racial and tribal group unlike Pushtoons, who are just a linguistic group.


11. The over 30-Million Gujjars in Pakistan and 20-Billion Gujjars in India had extended their implied and unconditional support to the notion of forming the broad based Afghan-Government comprising of all the ethnic groups and communities in Afghanistan so to win the war against terror.


12. It was expected that the Gujjars being the second largest ethnic and linguistic community certainly was to be considered as a significant constitutent in broad-based government as by ignoring the Gujjars neither any government can function as a representative establishment nor that could be a workable or perpetual solution to the growing problems of Afghanistan. The U.S.A., U.K. and Pakistan Governments should have derived an acceptable formula giving due representation to the Gujjars of Afghanistan.


13. The worrior & majority Gujjar tribe has not been given any representation while forming the present Afghan Government, the result is obvious, the writ of presetn Afghan-Government could hardly be established within the radious of only two Kilo meter area and more specifically speaking within the Presidential Compound under the guard and security of Allied forces. They are the brave Gujjars only who can restrict and confine the war-lords into their cloths and can bring the perpetual peace in Afghanistan. These Gujjars of Afghanistan also enjoys the unshaken support of 23-billion Gujjars of Pakistan and India. The Allied Forces, in order to bring the perpetual peace in Afghanistan, may even now draw a strategy to form a true representative Aghan-Government.

::Huna origin of Gurjara Clans::

::Huna origin of Gurjara Clans::

Dr. Sushil Bhati

Many renowned historian like A. M. T. Jackson, Buhler, Hornle, V. A. Smith and William crook Consider the Gurjaras to be of Huna stock. The way in which inscriptions and literature records frequently bracket Gurjaras with the Hunas suggests that the two races were closely connected. There are evidences that the Gurjaras were originally a horde of pastoral nomads from the Central Asia whose many clans have Huna origin.

Numismatic Evidences- Coins issued by Hunas and Gurjaras have remarkable similarity. In a way coins issued by Gurjaras are continuation of Huna coinage. Coins issued by Hunas and Gurjaras are characterized by motif of ‘Iranian fire altar with attendants’ and are copies of coins issued by Iranian emperors of Sassanian dyanasty. The inferences of Huna’s connection with Gurjaras is strongly supported by numismatic evidences. V. A. Smith has presented these evidences in his paper “The Gurjaras of Rajputana and Kannauj’ in these words, “The barbaric chieftains who led the greedy hordes known by the generic name of Huna to the plunder of the rich Indian plains did not trouble to invent artistic coin dies, and were content to issue rude imitations of the coinage of the various countries subdued. After the defeat of the Persian king Firoz in 484 A.D., the Huns chiefly used degraded copies of the Sassanian coinage, and in India emitted extensive series of coins obviously modelled on the Sassanian type, and consequently classified by numismatists as Indo-Sassanian. Many varieties of this Indo Sassanian coinage, especially those bearing the names of Toramana and Mihiragula or Mihirakula, can be recognized with certainty as Hun issues.

The long series of Gadhiya or Gadhaiya coins in base silver and copper or bronze, although usually without legends or dates, may be assigned now with equal confidence to the Gurjaras. These coins, which present the Sassanian type in its utmost degradation, are found most abundantly in the countries occupied by the Gurjara clans, which quickly developed into Hindu castes, and they evidently formed the ordinary currency of the Gurjara kingdoms in Western India and Rajputana for centuries. A Jain writer relates a legend which expressly connects the origin of the Gadhiya coinage with Bhilmal, the Gurjara capital.

One coin, not of the Gadhiya type, bearing the name of Vyaghramukha has been published. That name being of rare occurrence, the piece, which is of rude fabric and comes from a locality where it was associated with White Hun coins, is almost certainly a coin of Vyaghramukha, the Chapa Raja of Bhilmal in 528 A.D. The Chapas were a branch of the Gurjaras. The coin closely resembles in fabric the undoubted Hun issues, and when I published it I believed it to have been struck by a White Hun chief, but now perceive that it is Gurjara.

The Gurjara lineage of King Mihira Bhoja being an established fact, his Adi-vardlia coins, which imitate the Sassanian coinage in another fashion, must also be classed among the Gurjara issues.”

Presence of Varaha as a motif on coins of Gurjara- Pratiharas also support the theory of Huna origion of Gurjaras. Varaha was tribal deity of Hunas which later evolved into or identified with the incarnation of Vishnu.

Thus, we see that the numismatic connection between the Hunas and the Gurjaras is extremely close.

Common family name of Hunas and the name of Gurjara king Alkhana- According to E. Rtveladze, the name of royal family of Hunas was Alkhon. Humbach proposes that the reading of this name should be “Alkhan”. Alkhan was also the name of a Gujar king of Punjab Gujrat at the close of ninth century which find mention in Kalhan' Rajtarangini.

Mihira as common title among Hunas and Gurjaras- Kosmas Indikopleustes has mentioned a Huna king Gollas in his book Christian topography. The king is identified as MihirGula or Mihirkula by Historians Mihira was probably the title of MihirGula and his actual name was the Gula. Mihira is also the title/name of most famous Gurjara emperor Bhoja (836-885 A D) of Kannauj. It is still a title of honour amongst Ajmer Gurjaras.

Mehrauli- Mehrauli, one of the seven ancient cities that make up the present state of Delhi, was earlier known as Mihirawali means abode of Mihiras or row of houses of Mihiras. According to Campbell Mihira is just the another name of Huna tribe. It was probably founded by Hunas during the reign of Emperor Mihirkula as he has tradition of founding the new cities. According to kalhana’s Rajtarangani Mihirkula also founded the city named Mihirpur in Kashmir. Mehrauli area is still inhabited by four villages of Bidhuri clan of Gurjaras which do not intermarry with their Huna clan as they consider themselves as one and the same. Mehrauli area also have twelve villages of Tomara/ Tanwar Gurjaras which also have Huna origin as per the testimony of pehowa inscription and are considered to be the descendent of Javula Tormana, the celebrated Huna Chief and father of Emperor Mihirkula..

Common Varaha worship among Hunas and Gurjaras- Prevalence of Varaha worship and Varaha as title among Pratiharas also support the theory of Huna origin of Pratiharas. According to H Goetz, Varaha was tribal diety of Hunas which later evolved into or identified with the incarnation of Vishnu. Hunas worshipped the Varaha as Varahamihir. Tormana,s inscription of first year of his rule is found on the Varaha statue from Eran in Central India. Later Gurjara Pratiharas not only promoted the Varaha Worship but also adopted Varaha as their general title. Contemporary Arab scholars call Pratihara rulers Baura (Varaha). According to Goetz most of the Varaha temples were constructed during Huna-Gurjara Reign.

Clan Study of Modern Gujaras also suggest their Huna origion-

Huna has been an important Clan of Gurjara from remote past. Mansukh Gurjar, the friend of Puranic King Nal belonged to Huna clan of Gurjaras There are atleast twelve villages of Huna Gurjaras in Meerut and Hapur districts. There are four Huna Gurjara Villages in laksar tehsil of Haridwar district of Uttrakhand state and around seven villages in Alwar District of Rajasthan. Huna Gurjaras are most numerous in Bundi and Kota areas of Rajasthan that was once known as Huna Pradesh.

Marid is a sub-clan of Huna clan that does not intermarry with Huna clan because they consider themselves one and the same. Manohara is prominent village of Marid Hunas in Sahranpur district.

Bidhuri is also a sub-clan of Huna Gurjaras, which have sizeable number in Delhi and Rajasthan. Mehrauli area is still inhabited by four villages of Bidhuri clan of Gurjaras which do not intermarry with the Huna clan as they consider themselves as one and the same.

Paramara/Panwar clan also seems to be of Huna stock. According to one legend recorded by Col. Todd Shiva temple of Badoli in Kota district of Rajasthan was built by Huna Raj of Panwar dynasty. The legend supports the Huna origin of Panwars. In Pakistan the Hun/Hon Tribe of Potohar district Claims its descent from Jugdeo Panwar which proves the oneness of Panwars with the Hunas. Furthur this relation of oneness is proved by the fact that the Bidhuris sub clan of Huna Gurajaras also claim their descent from Jagdeo Panwar. Khoobad sub-clan of Panwar Gurjaras have 84 villages in Sahranpur district. They also claim their descent from the Jagdeo Panwar. The khoobar have a remarkable phonetic similarity with the name of Kabar tribe of Hungary which claim a descent from Attila’s Huns. According to the bhats of Khoobad Panwars they have migrated to Saharanpur from Dhar of Malwa. Malwa remained the strong hold of Hunas for a long time and after their defeat by Yashodharman they dispersed in all the direction.The legend of Jugdeo Panwar as their ancestor is of special importance among many Gurjar clans as many clan including Huna consider him their ancestor. Historicity of this legendary hero is proved by Jainad inscription from former Hyderabad state according to which Jagaddeva Paramara conquered the Arbuda region in 1093 A D. Early History of Gurjaras including Panwaras is connected with Arbuda/Abu region is proven fact.

Lohmor- Like Hon/ Hun of Punjab, Bidhuris of Delhi and Khoobar Panwaras of Saharanpur Lohmor clan of Gujaras also claim its origin from Jugdeo Panwar.Thus like three others it also have the Huna origin. The transliteration of Lohmor is Iron Peacock. Peacock was the important motif found on Huna coins.

Mundan/Mandar is a sub-clan of Panwar, thus it have a Huna origin. Bali near Baghpat is a important village of Mundans.

The Hathwal clan of Gurjaras is found in Saharanpur and Haryana The clan name seems to be the Indian version of Haftal/ Hephtelite, the another name of white Hunas.

Mori- Gwalior and Chittor grew in political importance during the Huna period. Probably forts at both the places were constructed by Mihirkula. Mori clan ruled from fort of Chittor before the Bapa Rawal took the fort in his Command. Probably Moris ruled at Chittor on behalf of their Huna Emperor. The Mori Gujaras are still found in the nearby area of Chittor. Mori means pertaining to Mor i.e. Peacock. Peacock is an important motif on Huna coinage as already been said.

Chapa or Chaprana, Chavda and Chapotkat Chapa or Chaprana, Chavda and Chapotkat all are the variation of the same clan of Gurjaras. The word Chapa means arch and the word Chapotkat means the best archer. Hunas were supposed to be the best cavaliers and archers of the contemporary world. King Vyaghramukha who ruled the Gurjardesha (Modern Rajasthan) from Bhinmal in seventh century belonged to the Chap clan of the Gurjaras. His coin resembled the Huna coins so much that it was termed as Huna coin of Vyagrmukha by V. A. Smith. Chapranas and Huna Gurjaras are known as Pag-palta brother in Chambal division of Madhya Pradesh. Vanraj Chavda who founded the city of Anhilvada was the Panwar and Panwar are Gujaras of Huna origin, thus Chap, Chaprana, Chavda and Chapotkat are also of Huna origin.

Peelwan in Hindi mean the elephant owner. After their victory over Gupta Empire Huna organized a vast Elephantry for the war purpose which was feared much by the other power. Greek writer casmos indikoplestes tells in his book ‘The Christian Topography’ that Hunas King moved along with a large cavalary and atleast 2000 elephants. Some Gujara clans might have connection with this Huna attribute, Peelwan is one of them.

Pathaa or Pataya is a sub clan of Peelwan. Patha of Akhoda Kalan calls them Pratihara. Infact when a word of an Apbhransa or a Prakrit or an alien language was adopted in Sanskrit extra r (र) were added sometimes to it to suit the phonetics of the new language, e.g. Gujara becomes with one extra r (र) to Gurjara, Munda becomes Murunda and Jat becomes Jarta. It is possible that original word for Pratihara might be or like Pathaa which on addition of two r (र) changed to Prathar/Pratihar in Sanskrit. Antwada, Bhatoda etc in Muzaffanagar district are the important Village of this Gujara clan.

Gajgahi- Like Peelwan clan Gajgahi clan might have connection with the Huna Elephantary.

Tomara or Tanwar - There is a proverb in Hindi “Dilli tanwaro ki”which means that Delhi belongs to Tanwaras.AS already mentioned Mehrauli area of Delhi still have twelve villages of Tomara/ Tanwar Gujaras which also have Huna origin as per the testimony of pehowa inscription and are considered to be the descendent of Javula Tormana, the celebrated Huna Chief. Tomara/Tanwar Chief Anangpal Constructed the Lalkot fort at Mehrauli and Shifted his Capital from kannauj to Lalkot. There is Gujara village Anangpur named after this king not far from Mehrauli in Faridabad district. The first inscription of Tanwara clan is found from pehowa in Karnal. There is very large Gujara Tanwara Village Kyodaka near Pehowa. The place of earliest History of Tanwara clan, Pehoea and Delhi, are still inhabited by Gujara Tanwaras.

Padiyar or Pratihar- It is interesting to note that there is still the Gujaras of Padhiyar clan nearby the Ujjain, the original seat of imperial Pratiharas of Kannauj. It is another evidence of imperial Pratiharas of Kannauj being a Gujara Clan. According to A. Cunningham and Rudolph Hoernle Pratiharas were Tomaras. Hornle said that the Anangpal Tomara Who built The Lalkot fort at Mehrauli was Scion of the imperial Pratihara family of Kannauj. As Tomaras are descendents of Huna King Tormana, Pratiharas were also of Huna origin. As I have already said earlier prevalence of Varaha worship and Varaha as title among Pratiharas also support the theory of Huna origin of Pratiharas. Varaha was tribal diety of Hunas that later evolved into or was identified with the incarnation of Vishnu. Numismatic evidences also suggest Huna connection of Pratiharas. Pratiharas imitated the sassanid type coin of Hunas.

Chalukyas or Solanki- Accoding to Hornle a section of Hunas moved to south India after their defeat in a battle with Yashodharman in Malwa. This section under the leadership of Chalukya Clan established the kingdom Of Vatapi in the latter half of the sixth century A. D. Later another branch from North established a kingdom named Gurjar or Gurjara mandala or Gurjartta in modern Gujrat. Solanki clan is still found among Dore Gujaras of Maharastra and among Gurjaras of Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh.

Khari- Kharis clan of Gujaras seems to have Huna ancestory. Their family bards claim that Khari clan has migrated to Delhi from Sialkot, the Capital of Hunas. In Rajasthan Gujaras have two sub-division namely Lor and Khari and there Huna clan belongs to Khari Sub-division of Gurjaras.

Hara or Hada Chauhan- This clan of Hadoti region of Rajasthan seems to belong to Hara- Huna section of Hunas. This region of Rajasthan was once known as Huna Pradesha due to predominance of Hara-Hunas. there is still a large population of Huna Clan of Gujaras in mainly the kota and Bundi districts of Hadoti region. Even Bundi City has some Huna Gujara Families. Hadoti region is still inhabited by Chauhan Gurjaras of Hara Huna origion.

Guhilot- Guhilot clan originated from Maitrakas Of Valabhi. Term Maitrak means pertaining to Mithra or Mihira. Mihira was just another name of Hunas. Mihir is a title used by Huna Emperor Mihir Gula and Gurjara Emperor Mihir Bhoj. Mihir is still title of honour among Ajmer Gujaras. According to D R Bhandarkar Guhilots were originally Mihiras/Mers of Huna-Gurjara group.51 Chittorgarh region once the seat of power of Guhilots still has few Huna Gujara villages.

The Gujars are a well-known and powerful caste, numerous in Rajasthan, parts of the Panjab, the northern districts of the Uttar Pradesh, and Central India. Gujaras are primarily a pastoral people, with a strong tendency to a life of rapine like historical Hunas but in modern times they are largely devoted to agriculture. In recent past Gujaras followed Polyandry like Hunas. Thus peculiarities of the Modern Gujars also indicate that their ancestors were members of a pastoral horde.
