Do you know ?

Rana Saheb word is Dudipat and meaning is in the local language. The lake lies in the extreme north of the Kaghan Valley, in the Mansehra District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in northern Pakistan. Youcan see more with photos at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudipatsar

I thought it to share if it can help to expand Dudi clan. In Sanskrit or Hindi Dudi has no meaning.

Garjaniya Jat clan

Garjaniya (गरजनिया) is a gotra of Jats in list provided by Dr Pema Ram. (डॉ पेमाराम:राजस्थान के जाटों का इतिहास, 2010, पृ.299) But we don't know its distribution.

Garjapatipura was one of the Buddhist places visited by Xuan Zang in 637 AD. It was between Banaras and Vaisali.

The Ancient Geography of India: I. The Buddhist Period, Including the ...By Sir Alexander Cunningham, p.438-442 tries to explore this place but could not do it properly.

Alexander Cunningham has identified it with place called Degwara. Deg is a Jat clan found in Rajasthan.

We have created content about this place on Jatland - http://www.jatland.com/home/Garjapatipura

There is a need to do further research on this matter and find connection.

My speculation is that with the decline of Buddhism these clan people vanished or moved to some other place. Probably some of them came to Rajasthan.

Samba the son of Krishna and Jat clans

Samba (साम्ब) was a son of Krishna and Jambavati. His half-brother was Pradyumna from Rukmini. His actions, caused by anger, brought an end to the Yadu dynasty.


Mora (Mathura) inscription of Vrishni Heroes

In the 1st century BC, there seems to be evidence for a worship of five Vrishni heroes Balarama, Krishna, Pradyumna, Aniruddha and Samba) for an inscription has been found at Mora near Mathura, which apparently mentions a son of the great satrap Rajuvula, probably the satrap Sodasa, and an image of Vrishni, "probably Vasudeva, and of the "Five Warriors".[1]

Brahmi inscription on the Mora stone slab, is now in the Mathura Museum.[2], [3]

The Samba Purana consists the narrative of Samba's getting infected by leprosy, after being cursed by his father and consequently getting cured by worshipping Surya in the temple constructed by him in Mitravana on the banks of the Chandrabhaga. He was advised by the sage, Kataka,[4] to worship the sun god to cure his aliment. Samba underwent penance for 12 years in Mitravana near the shores of Chandrabhaga.[5]

Both the original Konark Sun Temple and the Multan Sun Temple at Multan, earlier known as Kashyapapura, have been attributed to Samba. [6]

Arrian says that when Alexander approached the city which the country of Samb held as its metropolis, the name of which was Sindimana, the gates were thrown open to him at his approach, and the relations of Sambus reckoned up his money and went out to meet him, taking with them the elephants also. They assured him that Sambus had fled, not from any hostile feeling towards Alexander, but fearing on account of the pardon of Musicanus. (Anabasis,Ch.xvi)


Jat clans from Samba - 1. Samba Clan, 2. Samopa (समोपा) - Samopa are reported to be as descendants of Maharaja Samba (साम्ब). [7]

So Samba is no longer a mythological character !!!

Rambagh - Karachi

Rambagh is one of the ancient names of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

Alexander Cunningham[1] writes that On crossing the river Arabius, Alexander marched

[p.308]: for a whole night through a desert, and in the morning entered a well-inhabited country. Then coming to a small river, he pitched his tents, and waited for the main body of the army under Hephsestion. On its arrival, says Arrian, Alexander " penetrated further into the country, and coming to a small village which served the Oritae instead of a capital city, and was named Rambakia, he was pleased with its situation, and imagining that it would rise to be a rich and populous city, if a colony were drawn thither, he committed the care thereof to Hephaestion." [2]

[p. 309]: In the bed of this river there are several jets of liquid mud, which, from time immemorial, have been known as Ram-Chandar-ki-kup, or " Ram Chaudar's wells." There are also two natural caves, one dedicated to Kali, and the other to Hingulaj, or Hingula Devi, that is, the “Red Goddess," who is only another form of Kali. But the principal objects of pilgrimage in the Aghor valley are connected with the history of Rama. The pilgrims assemble at the Rambagh, because Rama and Sita are said to have started from this point, and proceed to the Gorakh Tank, where Rama halted; and thence to Tonga-bhera, and on to the point where Rama was obliged to turn back in his attempt to reach Hingulaj with an army.

Rambagh I would identify with the Rambakia of Arrian.

[p.310]: The occurrence of the name of Rambagh at so great a distance to the west of the Indus, and at so early a period as the time of Alexander, is very interesting and important, as it shows not only the wide extension of Hindu influence in ancient times, but also the great antiquity of the story of Rama. It is highly improbable that such a name, with its attendant pilgrimages, could have been imposed on the place after the decay of Hindu influence. During the flourishing period of Buddhism many of the provinces to the west of the Indus adopted the Indian religion, which must have had a powerful influence on the manners and language of the people. But the expedition of Alexander preceded the extension of Buddhism, and I can therefore only attribute the old name of Rambakia to a period anterior to Darius Hystaspes.

Alexander Cunningham said in The Ancient Geography of India

[p.1]:From the accounts of the Greeks it would appear that the ancient Indians had a very accurate knowledge of the true shape and size of their country.

The close agreement of these dimensions, given by Alexander's informants, with the actual size of the country is very remarkable, and shows that the Indians, even at that early date in their history, had a very accurate knowledge of the form and extent of their native land.
 
Alexander Cunningham said in The Ancient Geography of India

[p.9]: India was first known to the Chinese in the time of the Emperor Wuti, of the later Han dynasty, in the second century before Christ. It was then called Yuan-tu or Yin-tu, that is Hindu, and Shin-tu, or Sindhu. At a later date it was named Thian-tu .
 
Singhapura visited by Xuanzang in 631 AD

Singhapura or Sinhapura was one of Buddhist Kingdoms visited by Xuanzang in 631 AD. Alexander Cunningham[1] has identified Singhapura with Katas village near Choa Saidanshah in the Chakwal district of Punjab in Pakistan.

Alexander Cunningham[2] writes that According to Hwen Thsang, the capital of the kingdom of Seng-ho-pu-lo, or Singhapura, was situated at 700 li, or 117 miles, to the south-east of Taxila. The bearing points to Jhelam, near which is the town of Sangohi, which has been noted by M. Vivien de St. Martin as the possible representative of Singhapura. But Sangohi stands on an open plain, instead of on a high mountain of difficult access, as described by the pilgrim. The vicinity of ten pools of limpid water, with surrounding temples and sculptures, points to the holy tanks of Ketaksh, or Khetas, which are still visited by crowds of pilgrims from all parts of India.

Singhapura in Mahabharata

Arjuna's Conquest - Arjuna was sent north by Yudhisthira to subjugate kingdoms for the Rajasuya Yagya, after crowning as the Emperor of Indraprastha. Sabha Parva, Mahabharata/Book II Chapter 24 & Sabha Parva, Mahabharata/Book II Chapter 25 tell us countries Arjuna subjugated, which include Singhapura (town) (सिंहपुर).

Then the son of Indra (Arjuna), putting forth his might, pressed the delightful town of Singhapura that was well-protected with various weapons. Then Arjuna, that bull amongst the son of Pandu, at the head of all his troops, fiercely attacked the regions called Suhma and Sumala.

ततः सिंहपुरं रम्यं चित्रायुधसुरक्षितम
परामदथ बलम आस्दाय पाकशासनिर आहवे (II.24.19)
ततः सुह्मांश च चॊलांश च किरीटी पाण्डवर्षभः
सहितः सर्वसैन्येन परामदत कुरुनन्थनः(II.24.20)

This gives us strong evidence of historical authenticity of existence of Sinhapura from Mahabharata period to the time of visit of Xuanzang.

Baramulla Kashmir founded by Jats

Baramulla (बारामुला) is a city and district in Jammu and Kashmir.

Founder - According to Alexander Cunningham it was founded as Hushkapura, by the Indo-Scythian (Kushan Jat) prince Hushka, or Huvishka, the brother of Kanishka about the beginning of the Christian era. [1]

Alexander Cunningham[2] writes that Hwen Thsang entered the valley of Kashmir from the west in September, A.D. 631. At the entrance there was a stone gate, where he was met by the younger brother of the king's mother ; and after paying his devotions at the sacred monuments, he went to lodge for the night in the monastery of Hu-se-kia-lo, or Hushkara.[3] This place is mentioned by Abu Rihan,[4] who makes Ushkara the same as Baramula, which occupied both sides of the river.

Laxman ji,

It is well known that Mahabharata assumed its voluminous character over a long period of milleniums. It itself talks about the three important layers viz. Jaya, Bhata and Mahabharata. It is also a well accepted fact that accretions continued to be made in the text till very late times.Robert Shafer made a study of the tribes in the Mahabharata I 1954.

[h=2]Martyr Rakesh Nehra's last rites performed[/h] Rakesh Nehra, who achieved martyrdom in village Kanker in Chhattisgarh district during an ambush with naxalites on Thursday night dated 10 March 2016, was consigned to flames at his ancestral village Balsamand near Ladnu in Nagaur district with full respects on Monday dated 14 March 2016. Government, police and BSF officials were present on the occasion along with the family members and villagers.
His body landed at Jodhpur civil airport on Monday morning and was taken to his village by road, where BSF officials from Rajasthan Frontier headquarters remained present.

Nehra is survived by wife and two sons, one of whom is seven years old while other is barely two-and-a-half years. He was inducted in the BSF five years back and was currently posted at Raipur after having served in JK and Punjab.

He had come to his village early this month to attend his cousin brother's wedding ceremony and had left to resume his duty only on March 4.

"He would always say that he would become like his uncle and cousin and would join the army for sure to serve the country," his father said.

Raja Mahendra Pratap

In 1915, through Germany and Turkey, he made his way to Afghanistan. That year in Kabul, along with other Indian revolutionaries he established Provisional Government of Free India. Raja Mahendra Pratap (1 December 1886-29 April 1979) was the President and Maulana Barkatullah was the Prime Minister. On 1st December 1915, his 28th birthday, he established the first Provisional Government of India at Kabul in Afghanistan, during First World War.
 
We have a page here - http://www.jatland.com/home/Raja_Mahendra_Pratap

Raja Mahendra Pratap's contribution to Indian history has not been properly assessed by the historians.


Raja Mahendra Prata was nominated for Nobel Prize and after a certain period the comments of Nobel Prize Committee were made public as under:

<dl><dd>"Pratap gave up his property for educational purposes, and he established a technical college at Brindaban. In 1913 he took part in Gandhi's campaign in South Africa. He travelled around the world to create awareness about the situation in Afghanistan and India. In 1925 he went on a mission to Tibet and met the Dalai Lama. He was primarily on an unofficial economic mission on behalf of Afghanistan, but he also wanted to expose the British brutalities in India. He called himself the servant of the powerless and weak."

</dd></dl> Thanks to PM Narendra Modi who remembered him in his speech delivered in the Parliament of Afghanistan on 25 December 2015:


“Indians remember the support of Afghans for our freedom struggle; the contribution of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, revered as Frontier Gandhi; and, the important footnote of that history, when, exactly hundred years ago, the first Indian Government-in-Exile was formed in Kabul by Maharaja Mahendra Pratap and Maulana Barkatullah. King Amanullah once told the Maharaja that so long as India was not free, Afghanistan was not free in the right sense. Honourable Members, This is the spirit of brotherhood between us”
