Friends,

I am interested to know details about the Janghu Gotra Jats and their history. I am given to understand that Janghu and Bhalothia stock Jats belong to one and the same gotra; Is it so?

Have they any connexion with Janu, Jahnavi or any other gotra; this remains a moot question.

Are there any references available about them in our epics, mythological literature, I do not know?

I invite the JatLand.com contributers to shed some light on the history of Janghu Gotra Jats and their villages in Haryana, Rajasthan and other places.

Names of present day distinguished persons of this gotra could be forwarded so that they may be contacted for finding out their roots in the past history.

Regards,

Dr. Raj Pal Singh
 
Jangoo and Janghu seem to be the same gotra, difference only on phonetic representation in different areas. Am I right? If so description about them on Jat form wiki may be considered to be merged.

Friend,

Thanks for the very valuable information. You are welcome on the JatLand.com through this post.

Would you be kind enough to share the names of the Janghu villages known to you in India.
 
regards to you Sir. But Jangu is goth and not gotra. To the best of my knowledge Jats of all languages till today pronounce it as goth/got from India to europe in all languages.

I forgot to put sign of smile.

keep it up.

with kind regards
 
[Wiki]Bhisma Parva, Mahabharata/Book VI Chapter 10[/Wiki] mentions Geography of Varsha that is called after Bharatavarsha, The Mountains, The Rivers. The Provinces, Kings & Kshatriyas : There it gives a Long list of 300 tribes. We find Jangala in Shloka 37.

अत ऊर्ध्वं जनपथान निबॊध गथतॊ मम ।
तत्रेमे कुरुपाञ्चालाः शाल्व माद्रेय जाङ्गलाः ।। Mahabharata (VI.10.37)

Jangala may have some connection with Jangoo clan. We need further research in this matter.

Thanks for newer views on the issue.

It would add to our existing state of knowledge if you could throw light on the meaning of three words 'goth' / 'got' and 'gotra' . Because ordinary meaning of the Sanskrit word 'GOTRA' and Hindi word 'GOT' is taken as inter-changeable and used as such by common Indians and also taken to donate sub-caste, e.g. main caste --Jat, Sub-caste--Janghu in Indian context.

How and to convey what the Europeans use goth, got, gotra, I do not know. So, this request to you, kindly share the meaning and difference between these three words, if you could.

Secondly, you had mentioned in earlier post that you do not have interest in gotra system, now kindly let us know whether you still continue to hold the same belief and use 'Tewtia' with your name to denote your gotra. You have not been kind enough to throw light on the issue.

Thanks.
 
Sir, Jats are found in between the indo european civilization i.e. indus 2 ganges. the word gotra originated from sanskrit. my humble submission is that sanskrit originated from various indo-european languages of jats; n its not vice versa. similar is history of gotra.

got n jat were misused by indo-gangetic pandits. they were converted in gotra n jatis.

like jangu, tewatia is got n not gotra.

a big question Sir. Jats are not found after ganges/chambal in east and after indus in west. that does not mean that jats nvr ruled that area. british/moughul ruled india but how many of them are found here?

Friend,

Just queries, neither big nor small! If you could share information with you on the issue, if any, that would be an addition to our knowledge.

Regards.
 
jhanghu and maggu founded jhang-maghiana. The name is like prar-joon (Brar (brar is pronounced as prar in pnjabbi) and Joon). Its like allahabad pillar inscription of Samudra Gupt, where Prar-joon is inscribhed.
