sangha and sanghata are entirely two different things in sanskrit. So we can not associate jats with sanghat, which is meant for inanimate objects only.s.s.rana

Laxman ji, But it has been amply clarified in the numerous posts that the Paninian reference is grossly misunderstood. It has no reference to a federation. sanghaata only stands for a cluster of nonliving things.

Surajmal MEMORIAL EDUCATION SOCIETY HAS PUBLISHED THE FIRST VOLUME OF RAJA;S LIFE STORY. THE SECOND VOLUME IS IN PRESS AND IS SOON TO BE OUT.

A good reminder. Raja Mahendra Pratap was perhaps the only Indian who continuously worked for the independence of India from foreign soils. But what stands out clear is that he was never in favour of foreign toops in India to figh our battle. There is a message in it.

This is what I had stated in an earlier post. I had mentioned about Robert Shafer's work on tribal study. Jarttikas do not figure among the tribes discovered by Shafer in the early versions of the Mahabharata, including the critical edition.

Not connected with Ray. This forms part of certain gotras Examples are:KaakaraayaNA(Sanskrit gotra): in later linguistic change it becomes kaakraana: in next stage it sounds as kaakaraanaa : finally the temptation of retaining the last part raana for social mobility is immense. Similar is the...

Laxman Ji, I think my explanation of how some gotras having nothing to do with the term Rana (a remnant of Raja) has been missed completely. The above gotras cited in the post are examples. The final part in all of these is -raayana Though wrongly split) is responsible for the form first -Ran...

I wish to inform friends here that emperor Ashoka's first Major Rock Edict says this: 1.No animal should be slaughtered and offered as offering in a sacrifice. 2. Earlier hundreds of thousands of living beings were slaughtered in the kichen of his lordship. 3. Ever since this edict has been...

Narendra Ji, This is a very difficult area for me. You would recall my earlier hesitation on this part. The pioneers on the area were terrific scholars in their own way. They had their commitments too. The material on hand is stupendous. To handle it one needs a full discipline study which I...

I never said that all Ranas can be or are to be derived from Chaudhran or Chaudahrana. I was trying to explain only one Rana occurring in the term Chauhaahrana. But let me restate that essentially Rana is a later form of the original Sanskrit term 'Raja(Rajan) travelling through various forms in...

Narendra Ji, Shafer is a source. I mentioned it. If there is any thing darlier than this I would be happy to refer to, and be wise if there is any thing to the contrary.

Narendra Ji, Be Kind. What I stated in my above post No.679 was not a speculation > It is the case of Village Paakasmaa in Rohtak, The Jats of this village have Chaudhraan as their gotra. The new generation has started writing its abridged form viz. Rana . It has no connection with Chaudhary...

Natendra Ji, Robert Shafer in his Ethnography of Ancient India has made an exhaustive study of the Ethnography of the tribes mentioned in the various v ersions of the Mahabharata available from 1452 A.D. to 1879 A.D .including also the critical edition., does not find the mention of the...

Narendra Ji, Agreeing fully with you on the historical value of the Chachanamah I would like to say almost the same about M-U-T as it it also comes to us through a perambulatory route of fiction and imaginations nd distortions. So let us let them alone for their own literary vaue as kissas...

Narendra Ji, 1. There is a gotra among jats- Chaudharaan, which I had known since my childhood.I believe this from the sanskritic origin-Chaudhar ayanaa. 2. At some stage the people of this gotra started writing their gotra as Chaudaahrana. This did not stay longber as it was longish. 3. It...
