Gujjars- The cream of our society

Gujjars- The cream of our society Posted on 17/08/2014 by Dailyexcelsior Om Saraf Gujjars have always struck me as the most fascinating people around us-a distinct ethnic entity with rich historic and cultural background, an utterly self-reliant community, a perfect example of a sound mind in a sound body. Let me confess it is a profound problem for me to consider them backward in any sense of the word. I may prove it up to the hilt that not a few so-called forward-looking people deserve this epithet rather more aptly. Seen in a larger context of familiar economic indicators, the self employed Gujjars are in no way responsible for the economic backwardness of Jammu and Kashmir State. So far as our all embracing backwardness is concerned, again, the real culprit are the people belonging to other communities who consume most of the resource and produce most of the perpetrators of major and minor crimes in the society. Blinded by wealth acquired by means more foul rather than fair and us...

Ch Rahmat Ali

Ch Rahmat Ali (RA) - Founder of Pakistan Even though 68 years have passed since his death, his writings about the dangers facing Muslims are as relevant today as they were then (truth always stands clear from error even over the passage of time). For instance, Ch. Rahmat Ali (RA) called for an Islamic Renaissance and in one pamphlet, he wrote: "Our greatest asset and opportunity is our Faith, which has created what we possess; it has made us what we are. That is, the emancipators of hundreds of millions of human beings. Islam has worked miracles for us in the past, and it can and will do the same for us now and always, if only we let it do so. Such is the promise of Islam. Yet such is our perversion that we are simply not following Islam. We are ignoring it in every sphere of life - individual, national, moral and material. Not only that, we are turning to alien, `Western' cults instead. That is, to cults that have already poisoned the source of our life, undermined the ...

The Khatana took refuge in Mardan, Awat, Hazara, etc. and Trilochanpal (son of Anadpal), himself retired to Jammu hills from where he attacked Punjab. Some Khatana families migrated south of Satluj River and reached up to Malwa and Gwalior and in the East up to upper Gangetic valley. The Khatana all over the sub continent are unanimous since Centuries in claiming their decent from the house of Jaipal and Anandpal. The Kala and Thakaria share the same claim in Punjab.

Gujjar History 6

قسط 6 اسلام علیکم۔۔۔ ایک غلطی فہمی کی تصحیح (میری ذاتی رائے میں) اہل اسلام نے اہل عرب و عجم کو ایک الگ گروہ لکھا ہے اور یورپین نے اس کو الگ گروہ تسلیم نہیں کیا۔۔ اصل میں ہوا یہ ہو گا کہ حضرت نوحؑ اور ان کے ساتھ مسلمانوں کا ایک گروہ (چوتھا گروہ) شام میں ہی بس گیا ہو گا جس سے اہل عرب و عجم نے جنم لیا اور اس گروہ میں ہر طرح کے رنگ و نسل کے لوگ موجود ہوں گے اس لیے اگر ہم عرب کے رنگ و نسل کا جائزہ لیں تو ہم کو پتہ چلتا ہے کہ اس میں نیگرو اور کاؤکشین دونوں نسلوں سے ملتے جلتے لوگ ہیں کہ بعض اوقات لگتا ہے کہ یہ نیگرو نسل ہے اور بعض اوقات لگتا ہے کہ نہیں یہ کاوکشین نسل سے ہیں۔۔۔ ہمارے آباء و اجداد جس خطے میں جا کر آباد ہوئے وہ آجکل سنٹرل ایشیاء اور یوریشیاء کہلاتا ہے اور نیگرو ہندوستان اور افریقہ کی طرف آباد ہوئے اگر سب سے قدیم ہندوستان کی آبادی کو دیکھیں اور افریقین نسلوں کو دیکھیں تو ان میں رنگ و نسل کی مماثلت پائی جاتی ہے۔۔ جیسے جیسے ان خطوں میں آبادیاں بڑھنا شروع ہوئیں تو نئے نئے علاقے آباد ہونا شروع ہو گئے ۔۔ ہم نے سارے سنٹرل ایشیاء ، یوریشیاء اور چائنا کے صوبے سنکیانگ تک کے علاقے آب...

Gujjar History 4

قسط 4 اسلام علیکم۔۔ ہم انسانی تاریخ کے دو باب مکمل کر چکے ہیں ایک تخلیق انسان اور دوسرا حضرت آدمؑ سے حضرت نوحؑ تک کا دور۔۔ اب یہاں سے ایک نئے دور کی شروعات ہوتی ہیں۔ مختلف جگہوں پر مختلف حوالے ہیں کہ حضرت نوحؑ کے ساتھ کتنے لوگ تھے لیکن ہم 80 مرد و عورت  کے گروہ کو صحیح مان کر چلتے ہیں کیونکہ اس کے اوپر کافی زیادہ لوگ متفق ہیں اور اکثر علماء کرام بھی یہی حوالہ دیتے ہیں۔۔ تاریخِ انسانی کے ماہر حضرت نوحؑ کے ساتھیوں کو ان کی شکل و صورت کی وجہ سے تین بڑے گروہوں میں تقسیم کرتے ہیں 1- کاؤ کشین۔۔ جو جارجین یا گرجستان کی زبان کا لفظ ہے اور اسی لفظ کو سنسکرت زبان میں کوشان بولا گیا اور بدلتے وقت کے ساتھ یہ لفظ کسان اور کسانہ کی شکل میں باقی رہ گیا۔۔ یہ دنیا کی سب سے خوبصورت نسل ہے اپنے رنگ، اور نین و نقش کی وجہ سے سیاہ بال سرخ و سفید رنگ،، یہ نسل آج بھی اپنی اصل حالت میں گرجستان (جارجیا) آرمینیاء، چیچنیا وغیرہ میں پائی جاتی ہے اور اپنے ہزاروں سال پرانے زبان، لباس اور رسم و رواج پر قائم ہے ان کا خطہ یورپ اور ایشیاء کے سنگم پر آباد ہے اس لیے یہ خطہ یوریشیاء بھی کہلاتا ہے اسی خطے میں داغس...

1857 and Gujjars

1857 KI KRANTI KE JANAK THE GUJJARS .....Historically, the Gujjars are effectively ‘1857 forces’, in the same league as Lodhs, Banjaras, Ramoshis, Dhangars, Mewatis, Kols and Gonds who fought in the 1857 Uprising against the British as a community. On May 10, 1857, when the 3rd Cavalry threw off allegiance to the British in Meerut to kick-start what is now recognised as the 19th century’s greatest anti-colonial revolt, the Meerut cantonment had a sizeable 60th Her Majesty Regiment composed of crack British soldiers. The 3rd Cavalry sowars and 11th and 20th Bengal Native Infantry sepoys did not have artillery; but the 60th Foot Regiment was well supplied with cannons. The 60th HMR men could have easily pursued and cut the march of Meerut revolutionaries towards Delhi. But it was the turbulent Gujjars of the Meerut countryside who surrounded the British cantonment in such large numbers that British soldiers found it difficult to advance. The Imperial Gazetteer of India states that throu...
