question arises "why samudra gupta chose to write his commendmendts on Asokas pillar?"

Why Firuz braught Asokas pillar from Ambala to Delhi?

80 aur pata nahin 180 aur pata nahin kitne pahiyon ki gaadi thi vo, the pillar was handled most carefully. And subsequently installed in Delhi, at the seemingly highest location, like Mehraulis Iron Pillar inscription.

I've personally visited this pillar.

Firuz perhaps had taken more pains than sumudragupta?

Why???????

there were three big empires India had evr seen.

1. Maurya
2. Tughlak
3. Aurangzeb

rest Sakas/Kushans/Guptas/Akbar were in between.

while second is taking lot of pains for Asoka

third is just ignorant.
 
ke rolla maache se?

Asoka, Gupta, tughlak were Jats or linked with Jats. Aurangzeb was opposing Jats so the down fall of mughal empire. Even then he was 3/4 rajput:)

irrespective of Asoka, the Budha, Gupta, the Vaishnevite, resembling modern Hindu, ynd tughlak, the muslim...

but all same ynd Jats.
 
Jat connections of Firuz Shah Tughluq

The Jat connections of Firuz Shah Tughluq have been mentioned by noted historians R.C. Majumdar, H.C. Raychaudhury, Kalikaranjan Datta: An Advanced History of India, fourth edition, 1978, ISBN 0333 90298 X,. They write (p 319) that Firuz was Muhammad bin Tughluk's first cousin, the son of Ghiyas-ud-din's younger brother Rajab by his Bhati wife, who was daughter of Rana Mall , the chief of Abohar. He succeeded the throne of Muhammad bin Tughluk. Muhammad bin Tughluk was the prince Jauna, son of Ghazi Malik. Prince Jauna declared himself as Sultan after three days of his father's death in February-March 1325, under the title of Muhammad bin Tughluk. (p 309). The dynasty of Ghazi Malik may be regarded as an indigenous one. His father had come to Hindustan in the time of Balban and married a Jat Girl of Punjab. (p 306)

Can some body find details and ancestry of that Jat girl?
 
by all means Samudragupta (the name itself was terrific) was the most genious versatile king upon earth. He is represented by veena on most of his coins. He was too proud of his lichhavi mother of nepal. the one from the clan/got of budhha. He had in his court the nobel laureates. the navratnas later got attached to his son chandragupta, like kalidasa, who wrote Raghuvansha, the story of the ancestors of these Gupta/Guta/Jat kings.

Kalidas is known as the shakespear of India but I feel the things are reverse. Shakespear was Kalidas of europe.

Guptas were the first rulers who issued maximum number of gold coins after greeks.

from Mathura they rose and followed the same system of kushanas army. respecting fully Kanishka. Oh, those, long boots and loose trousers!

the golden period of India, those Jats/Guptas gave.

But where has this gold come from? from Kolar mines? no?

Gold never came to India from Kolar mines.

Its Jat who braught it.
 
Jauna Khan himself a noble-lauriate of those days.

lets draw conclusions:

1. James princep, a civil servent in britisher army, in 1837, did not decipher asokan pillars.
2. It was earlier deciphered by the nobel-laureates of Samudragupta and Tughlaks.


a famous hindi song goes this way:

Mera tujh se hai pahle ka nata koi, uunhin nahin dil lagata koi.............
 
kublai khan of china was fast friend of Jauna. Recently, he experimented with leather coins.

Oh, this Jun! He knew logarithm. He knew history. He knew various languages of Jats like the modern law of Grimmes variation. He did know what are the consequences of issuing gold and leather coins.

but society was too corrupt in those days. thats why his calculations failed:)

All prakand pandits from all over India were called by Firuz to deciphire Asoka's pillar:)

another genious versatile king like samudragupta is being dubbed as pagal badshah:)

jats in Deva sanhita

Deva Samhitā (देवसंहिता) is a collection of Sanskrit hymns by Gorakh Sinha during the early medieval period. Deva Samhitā propounded the theory of Origin of Jats from Shiva's Locks. [1], [2], [3] Devasamhita records an account of the Origin of the Jats in the form of discussion between Shiva and Parvati expressed in shloka (verses). Pārvatī asks Shiva, O Lord Bhutesha, knower of all religions, kindly narrate about the birth and exploits of the Jat race. Who is their father? Who is their mother? Which race are they? When were they born? Having read the mind of Parvati, Shiva said, "O mother of the world, I may tell you honestly the origin and exploits of the Jats about whom none else has so far revealed anything to you. Some relevant verses are given below.

Jats in Deva Samhita

There is mention of Jats in Deva Samhitā [4] in the form of powerful rulers over vast plains of Central Asia. When Pārvatī asks Shiva about the origin of Jats, their antiquity and characters of Jats, Shiva tells her like this in Sanskrit shloka-15 as under:

महाबला महावीर्या, महासत्य पराक्रमाः Mahābalā mahāvīryā, Mahāsatya parākramāḥ

सर्वाग्रे क्षत्रिया जट्*टा देवकल्*पा दृढ़-व्रता: Sarvāgre kshatriyā jattā Devakalpā dridh-vratāḥ || 15 ||

Meaning - "They are symbol of sacrifice, bravery and industry. They are, like gods, firm of determination and of all the kshatriyā, the Jats are the prime rulers of the earth."

Shiva explains Parvati about the origin of Jats in Shloka –16 of Deva samhita as under:

श्रृष्टेरादौ महामाये वीर भद्रस्य शक्तित: Shrishterādau mahāmāye Virabhadrasya shaktitaḥ

कन्यानां दक्षस्य गर्भे जाता जट्टा महेश्वरी Kanyānām Dakshasya garbhe jātā jatta maheshwarī. || 16 ||

Meaning – "In the beginning of the universe with the personification of the illusionary powers of Virabhadra and daughter of Daksha's gana's womb originated the caste of Jats."

Pārvatī asks, in the shloka-17 of 'Deva Samhitā' about the origin and exploits of the Jats, whom none else has so far revealed, Shiva tells Parvati that:

गर्व खर्चोत्र विग्राणां देवानां च महेश्वरी Garva kharchotra vigrānam devānām cha maheshwarī

विचित्रं विस्*मयं सत्*वं पौराण कै साङ्गीपितं Vichitram vismayam satvam Pauran kai sāngīpitam || 17 ||

Meaning - "The history of origin of Jats is extremely wonderful and their antiquity glorious. The Pundits of history did not record their annals lest it should injure and impair their false pride of the vipras and gods. We describe that realistic history before you."

Daksha's sacrifice by Virabhadra

Deva Samhita mentions that after the destruction of Daksha's sacrifice by Virabhadra and his ganas, the followers of Shiva, the defeated gods sought Brahma and asked his counsel. Brahma advised the gods to make their peace with Shiva. Shiva accepted his advice and restored the burnt head of Daksha and the broken limbs were made whole. Then the devas thanked Shiva for his gentleness, and invited him to sacrifice. There Daksha looked on him with reverence, the rite was duly performed, and there also Vishnu appeared. A compromise was achieved between Vaishnavas and followers of Shiva.

ठाकुर देशराज के जाट इतिहास से

ठाकुर देशराज [5] लिखते हैं कि जाटों की उत्पत्ति के सम्बन्ध में एक मनोरंजक कथा कही जाती है. महादेवजी के श्वसुर राजा दक्ष ने यज्ञ रचा और अन्य प्रायः सभी देवताओं को तो यज्ञ में बुलाया पर न तो महादेवजी को ही बुलाया और न ही अपनी पुत्री सती को ही निमंत्रित किया. पिता का यज्ञ समझ कर सती बिना बुलाए ही पहुँच गयी, किंतु जब उसने वहां देखा कि न तो उनके पति का भाग ही निकाला गया है और न उसका ही सत्कार किया गया इसलिए उसने वहीं प्राणांत कर दिए. महादेवजी को जब यह समाचार मिला, तो उन्होंने दक्ष और उसके सलाहकारों को दंड देने के लिए अपनी जटा से 'वीरभद्र' नामक गण उत्पन्न किया. वीरभद्र ने अपने अन्य साथी गणों के साथ आकर दक्ष का सर काट लिया और उसके साथियों को भी पूरा दंड दिया. यह केवल किंवदंती ही नहीं बल्कि संस्कृत श्लोकों में इसकी पूरी रचना की गयी है जो देवसंहिता के नाम से जानी जाती है. इसमें लिखा है कि विष्णु ने आकर शिवाजी को प्रसन्न करके उनके वरदान से दक्ष को जीवित किया और दक्ष और शिवाजी में समझोता कराने के बाद शिवाजी से प्रार्थना की कि महाराज आप अपने मतानुयाई 'जाटों' का यज्ञोपवीत संस्कार क्यों नहीं करवा लेते? ताकि हमारे भक्त वैष्णव और आपके भक्तों में कोई झगड़ा न रहे. लेकिन शिवाजी ने विष्णु की इस प्रार्थना पर यह उत्तर दिया कि मेरे अनुयाई भी प्रधान हैं.

देवसंहिता के कुछ श्लोक निम्न प्रकार हैं-

पार्वत्युवाचः

भगवन सर्व भूतेश सर्व धर्म विदाम्बरः

कृपया कथ्यतां नाथ जाटानां जन्म कर्मजम् ।।12।।


अर्थ- हे भगवन! हे भूतेश! हे सर्व धर्म विशारदों में श्रेष्ठ! हे स्वामिन! आप कृपा करके मेरे तईं जाट जाति का जन्म एवं कर्म कथन कीजिये ।।12।।

का च माता पिता ह्वेषां का जाति बद किकुलं ।

कस्तिन काले शुभे जाता प्रश्नानेतान बद प्रभो ।।13।।


अर्थ- हे शंकरजी ! इनकी माता कौन है, पिता कौन है, जाति कौन है, किस काल में इनका जन्म हुआ है ? ।।13।।

श्री महादेव उवाच:

श्रृणु देवि जगद्वन्दे सत्यं सत्यं वदामिते ।

जटानां जन्मकर्माणि यन्न पूर्व प्रकाशितं ।।14।।


अर्थ- महादेवजी पार्वती का अभिप्राय जानकर बोले कि जगन्माता भगवती ! जाट जाति का जन्म कर्म मैं तुम्हारी ताईं सत्य-सत्य कथन करता हूँ कि जो आज पर्यंत किसी ने न श्रवण किया है और न कथन किया है ।।14।।

महाबला महावीर्या, महासत्य पराक्रमाः ।

सर्वाग्रे क्षत्रिया जट्*टा देवकल्*पा दृढ़-व्रता: || 15 ||


अर्थ- शिवजी बोले कि जाट महाबली हैं, महा वीर्यवान और बड़े पराक्रमी हैं क्षत्रिय प्रभृति क्षितिपालों के पूर्व काल में यह जाति ही पृथ्वी पर राजे-महाराजे रहीं । जाट जाति देव-जाति से श्रेष्ठ है, और दृढ़-प्रतिज्ञा वाले हैं || 15 ||

श्रृष्टेरादौ महामाये वीर भद्रस्य शक्तित: ।

कन्यानां दक्षस्य गर्भे जाता जट्टा महेश्वरी || 16 ||


अर्थ- शंकरजी बोले हे भगवती ! सृष्टि के आदि में वीरभद्रजी की योगमाया के प्रभाव से उत्पन्न जो पुरूष उनके द्वारा और ब्रह्मपुत्र दक्ष महाराज की कन्या गणी से जाट जाति उत्पन्न होती भई, सो आगे स्पष्ट होवेगा || 16 ||

गर्व खर्चोत्र विग्राणां देवानां च महेश्वरी ।

विचित्रं विस्*मयं सत्*वं पौराण कै साङ्गीपितं || 17 ||


अर्थ- शंकरजी बोले हे देवि ! जाट जाति की उत्पत्ति का जो इतिहास है सो अत्यन्त आश्चर्यमय है । इस इतिहास में विप्र जाति एवं देव जाति का गर्व खर्च होता है । इस कारण इतिहास वर्णनकर्ता कविगणों ने जाट जाति के इतिहास को प्रकाश नहीं किया है || 17 ||

Kartikeya (कार्तिकेय) was son of Shiva and the brother of Ganesha. He is also known as Skanda. Skanda is believed to give name to the Jat gotra Sheokand and to the region Scandinavia. He has been mentioned in Mahabharata at various places. Here it is worth mentioning about his Ceremony for investing Kartikeya with the status of generalissimo in Shalya Parva of Mahabharata.


Ceremony for investing Kartikeya with the status of generalissimo

Mahabharata Shalya Parva section 45 describes about all the gods and combatants who came to the ceremony for investing Kartikeya with the status of generalissimo.

Vaishampayana said, "Collecting all articles as laid down in the scriptures for the ceremony of investiture, Brihaspati duly poured libations on the blazing fire. Himavat gave a seat which was adorned with many costly gems. Kartikeya was made to sit on that auspicious and best of seats decked with excellent gems. The gods brought thither all kinds of auspicious articles, with due rites and mantras, that were necessary for a ceremony of the kind.

On this occasion out of the diverse gods those with probable Jat clan connections are Dhatri,Gandharvas,Yakshas, Kashyapa, Atri, Hara, Sinivali, Airavat, Vasuki, Garuda, Kala, Mani, Kunda, Kusuma, Kumuda, Damvara, Bala, Ghasa, Kanchana, Meghamalin, Sankukarna etc.


Mahabharata Shalya Parva section 45 further says, "Listen now to the names of those other combatants armed with diverse weapons and clad in diverse kinds of robes and ornaments, that Skanda procured:

They were Sankukarna, Nilkumbha, Padmai, Kumud, Ananta, Dwadasabhuja, Krishna, Upakrishnaka, Ghranasravas, Kapiskandha, Kanchanaksha, Jalandhama, Akshasantarjana, Kunadika, Tamobhrakrit, Ekaksha, Dwadasaksha, Eka Jata, Sahasravahu, Vikata, Vyaghraksha, Kshitikampana, Punyanaman, Sunaman, Suvaktra, Priyadarsana, Parisruta, Kokonada, Priyamalyanulepana, Ajodara, Gajasiras, Skandhaksha, Satalochana, Jwalajibha, Karala, Sitakesa, Jati, Hari, Krishnakesa, Jatadhara, Chaturdanshtra, Ashtajihva, Meghananda, Prithusravas, Vidyutaksha, Dhanurvaktra, Jathara, Marutasana, Udaraksha, Rathaksha, Vajranabha, Vasurprabha, Samudravega, Sailakampin, Vrisha, Meshapravaha, Nanda, Upadanka, Dhumra, Sweta, Kalinga, Siddhartha, Varada, Priyaka, Nanda, Gonanda, Ananda, Pramoda, Swastika, Dhruvaka, Kshemavaha, Subala, Siddhapatra, Govraja, Kanakapida, Gayana, Hasana, Vana, Khadga, Vaitali, Atitali, Kathaka, Vatika, Hansaja, Pakshadigdhanga, Samudronmadana, Ranotkata, Prashasa, Swetasiddha, Nandaka, Kalakantha, Prabhasa, Kumbhandaka, Kalakaksha, Sita, Bhutalonmathana, Yajnavaha, Pravaha, Devajali, Somapa, Majjala, Kratha, Tuhara, Chitradeva, Madhura, Suprasada, Kiritin, Vatsala, Madhuvarna, Kalasodara, Dharmada, Manma, Thakara, Suchivaktra, Swetavaktra, Suvaktra, Charuvaktra, Pandura, Dandavahu, Suvahu, Rajas, Kokilaka, Achala, Kanakaksha, Valakarakshaka, Sancharaka, Kokanada, Gridhrapatra, Jamvuka, Lohajvaktra, Javana, Kumbhavaktra, Kumbhaka, Mundagriva, Krishnaujas, Hansavaktra, Candrabha, Panikurchas, Samvuka, Panchavaktra, Sikshaka, Chasavaktra, Jamvuka, Kharvaktra, and Kunchaka.

Jat connections

We find in the above list that not only Jat but number of Jat clans are there. We try to interpret some of the shlokas in this chapter with sanskrit language quotations with the help of what Jat historians have mentioned.

According to Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria)[1], It may not be out of place to mention here, as confirmed by N.S. Chaudhary[2] on the authority of Shiva-Stotra, one of the generals of Kartikeya (Skanda) carried name "Jata (जट)". It is well known fact that in the Deva-Asura war Kartikeya (Skanda) commanded the forces of the former, and it is quite plausible to believe that the warriors (later known to Panini as Ayuddhajivi ganas), led by general called Jata, became famous as Jat in history. We have also reason to believe that Panini, when used the phrase 'Jata jhata sanghate' (denoting union or federation or confederation or binding together, etc.), took his clue from the Jata general's role in fomenting unity in the warriors against Asuras. Jata general is also believed to give name Jutland.

....Akshasantarjana, Kunadika, Tamobhrakrit, Ekaksha, Dwadasaksha, Eka Jata ... Beholding the installation of Kartikeya, These and many other mighty companions, O king, came to the high-souled and illustrious Kartikeya". [3]This has been illustrated in following shlokas in the online edition of Mahabharata in Sanskrit alongwith Devanagari as under:

अक्षसंतर्जनॊ राजन कुनदीकस तमॊ ऽभरकृत akṣasaṃtarjano rājan kunadīkas tamo 'bhrakṛt [4]
एकाक्षॊ द्वादशाक्षश च तदैवैक जटः परभुः ekākṣo dvādaśākṣaś ca tathaivaika jaṭaḥ prabhuḥ [5]

The Jat historian Dharmpal Singh Dudee, has explained the above mahabharata legend, in which Brahma nominated Swami Kartikeya as senapati of all the beings and performs his coronation on this position. On the occasion of coronation, Swami Kartikeya received various offerings from manifold people. One of these was a chief of all the senapatis (generals) named Jat. [6] This shloka reads in Sanskrit as under:

अक्षः सन्तर्जनो राजन् कुन्दीकश्च तमोन्नकृत।
एकाक्षो द्वादशक्षश्च तथैवैक जटः प्रभु ।।
Translation- O Rajan! Akshaḥ santarjana, kundīka, tamonnakrata, ekāksha, dwādashāksha and a 'Jat' the chief lord offered to Swami Kartikeya.

Antiquity of Jat

Thus appearance of Jat name as such in Mahabharata and other Jat clans along with Brahma shows that name of Jat is as antique as Brahma.[7] Not only Jat word existed at that time but also the other Jat clans from which various Jat clans further originated.

Skanda Purana

Skanda Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas, a Hindu religious text, is the largest Purana, and is devoted mainly to the life and deed of Kartikeya (also called Skanda), a son of Shiva and Parvati. It also contains a number of legends about Shiva, and the holy places associated with him. The Puranas was recited by Skanda, and is available in distinct parts, sometimes fragmented too. It also describes the Shaiva tradition in Hemakuta region (near Vijayanagar) of Karnataka, Kashi part describes the Shaiva tradition of Varanasi, and the Utkal part states about Shaiva tradition of Orissa.

The study of Skand Purana may be very useful to link the history of various Jat clans and the places associated with Shiva and Skanda.

This gotra started after republic of the same name during Mahabharata times. Majority of them are now Sikh Jats. [1]This is yet another very ancient clan among the Jats. Although mentioned in the ancient period, their history of the later period is unknown. In the eighteenth century Sikh Jats of this clan founded the state of Rasulpur. [2]

They have been mentioned in Mahabharata Bhisma Parva, along with Malla, Vahika, Abhira in shloka 45 as under:

मल्लाः सुदेष्णाः पराहूतास तदा माहिष कार्षिकाः
वाहीका वाटधानाश च आभीराः कालतॊयकाः ।। 45 ।। [3]

They have been mentioned in Sabha Parva in English in the deeds and triumphs of Nakula, the son of Pandu, during his military campaigns for collecting tribute for Pandava king Yudhisthira's Rajasuya sacrifice, reached the western Dasarna Kingdom. In the western region, Nakula subjugated the Dasarnas, the Sivis, the Trigartas, the Amvashtas, the Malavas, the five tribes of the Karnatas, and those twice born classes that were called the Madhyamakeyas and Vattadhanas.[4]

Sabha Parva in Sanskrit Book 2 Chapter 29 shloka 7 writes as under:

तथा मध्यमिकायांश च वाटधानान द्विजान अद
पुनश च परिवृत्याद पुष्करारण्यवासिनः

Madhyamika nagari

The ancient name Madhyamika nagari (मध्यमिका नगरी ), now known as Nagri (नगरी ) or Nagari, is a village in Chittorgarh district in Rajasthan. Its Pin Code: 312022.

It was formerly known as Madhyamika, which flourished from the Maurya to Gupta era. The excavations over here have unearthed many interesting facts and have showed signs of strong Hindu and Buddhist influence.

Ravi and laxman ji

This is a major problem with JAT History

We are not able to identify the people who were we related to and than trace their movement.

Where according to Laxman ji sugesstion ghangas may be well settled in bengal areas in 300 BC .according to you they made their movement and settled as kushana and saka somewhere first century BC or AD.

Now you both supporting gangas as ghanghas jats are reffering to diffrent set of people and here entire jat history look just a manipulative excercise.

Now these tomar tur tushar or takhar groups related to kushan jats didn't reach bengal in 300 BC THAN how ghangas Jats could be tomars who were related to ghandarides.


So in order to have a better understanding of our history and a true reflection of our past we should try to identify exact group of people with which we can be identified and for that we need a healthy discussion about various models regarding our antiquity ...

Now I am trying this for a long time on yahoo jat history group , so that our conclusions are solid as solutions are found only via discussions .

But you seems not intersted at all,despite of so many reminders ,I simply can't understand why?really disppointed us.

My emphasis to know your and laxman ji's views was because of the fact that you present that to all others via internet as a jat view point about our history in addition to jattworld and ******** ,unless we have a clear approach about us how can we tell others about our past ,who will read our conflicting asssumptions and suggestions than will simply say it is all a futile attempt to cater to a jat ego.

So let us discuss all these theories and models of jat movement and settlement pattern ,arrive at a conclusion and than present our unquestionable view to others.

Otherwise we are happy as Gangas were Ghanghas jats.. Kabambas were Kadyan jats... Kushan were Kaswans jats.... Chola were Chahal jats...... ,yes all were jats.... but sometimes wonder why you forget Jatavs that were first jats as well on a more similar name and similar reasoning.

Dear Prashantji

One may suggest that people should refrain from making such sweeping statements,

Narendra Kharb is a serious historian, and his comments are part of an ongoing discussion about Jat history, and are indeed very welcome. We are grateful and appreciative of his input.

Are there excesses on the Jatland pages? One will have to agree - yes!

Is some rubbish? The answer is yes.

Is it all or even most of rubbish? I would say, absolutely not!!

Specific criticism should be and is welcome!.

Sweeping generalities are quite unhelpful.

Prashantji, if you have specific criticisms, then do please put your comments with evidence and reasons forward and let us discuss them

I for one, will be glad to have someone correct my work!

Best regards

Dear Prashant,

What you say is that most of the things written on jatland wiki abt jats history is indeed a crap!!

Have you tried to correct some of them based on your knowledge or commented on some articles' discussion page?

There is discussion page for each member and for each article. How much have you added to them?

If you have very clear ideas about Jat history then why do not contribute?

It is a combined effort. Mere criticism will do no good to jats or Jat history.

At least you write about your own Gotra vaidwan for which there is no entry on Jatland Wiki.

Regards,
