Research on history of Jat clans

[shivrampoonia]

Let us feel consoled from the clarifications put forward by Rajpalji and Kharab saheb. Better to be not moved by unauthentic aberrations of the kind. That's that.

Warm welcome to you!

Hope constructive inputs.

Kupchani (कुपचानी), a Baloch sept, now represented by only a few families in Bhakkar district, Pakistan. H.A. Rose writes that Their tradition is that they fled from Persia into Balochistan, whence they were expelled by the Marri, Bugti and Kahiri Baloch. But they also say that they are an offshoot of the Qaisarani tribe of Sanghar tahsil in Dera Ghazi Khan whose chief is stated to keep their genealogical tree. In the east Kachhi of Balochistan the Marris, Bugtis and Kahiris all say that prior to their advent into that tract it was held by a people called Kupchani of Jat origin or status. This tradition lends support to the theory that Balochistan was once occupied by Jats, who were driven out by the Pathan, Brahui and Baloch.

Burdakji,

Kindly share with us as to on what aspect of lost history of the Jats is revealed by HA Rose's quote under reference. Neither Kupchani's whereabouts nor their earlier abode is traced. The area had been inhabited by the Jats belonging to various clans is earlier times, stands confirmed by a large number of studies. No addition to knowledge at all by this averment of Rose , isn't it so!

Thanks

History of Rosa Clan

I did by Middle School education from a School named Govt Middle School Rosawa-Thethalia. It was located on a sand-dune in between villages Rosawa and Thethalia, a few kms south of my native village. I was in habit of knowing Origin of Places during that time as now. Nobody could tell me about Rosawa but a knowledgeable Brahman of village Thethalia told me the meaning of village Thethalia. Thethalia = Theh-thal = spot of ruins. That the village was ruined many times in past so came to be known as Thethalia. Obviously it must be associated with ancient history.

Thanks to Jatland that when we started writing history of clans I inquired about the Rosa clan. Thethalia village is fully inhabited by Barjati Jat clan not found in abundance in nearby villages. The Barjati clan people told me that they were earlier of Rosa clan. As per verbal tradition the Rosa (रोसा) clan of Jats came from Panipat in Haryana and founded the village Rosawa (रोसावा), located in west direction at a distance of about 15 km from Fatehpur in Sikar. Their population, in this village was not increasing but going down. So they changed their gotra (clan) to Barjati and moved to nearby village Thethalia in Sikar district.

Thanks to Internet. We now are in a position to know more about Rosa clan. We have on Internet book by Sir Lepel Griffin (1865):The Panjab Chiefs. It gives us the History of Rosa family at page 342. It tells us that there is a tradition that, Rosa, A Sidhu Jat and an ancestor of this family migrated from Delhi some hundred years ago and founded a village in his name near Chunian in Lahore. Complete history is available here at - http://www.apnaorg.com/books/punjab-chiefs/ on S.No. 56-58

Legend about Malik Title



According to Niamtulla's Makhzan-i-Afghani and Hamdulla Mustaufi's Tarikh-i-Guzida, in the eighteenth generation from Adam was born Ibrahim one of whose decendants was Talut or Saul. Talut had two sons, one of whom was named Irmia or Jermia. Irmia had a son named Afghan, who is supposed to have given his name to the Afghan people. Qais, a descendant of Afghan, with many of his kins men or Bani Israel settled down in Ghor, joined the Prophert's standard, and was converted to Islam.The Prophet was so pleased with Qais that he gave him the name of Abdur Rashid, called him Malik [king] and Pethan [keel or rudder of a ship] for showing his people the path of Islam. This explains how the Afghan and Pathan came into being and how they all love the title of Malik .

Rajpal ji,

I have thought about this for some time and have read similar connections elsewhere but this connection does not seem right especially how the name Afghan started. There is a different version, given by Dr. Ahmad Hasan Dani at following link, and I will quote specific paras:

http://pakhtunkhwatimes.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/page/2/

"The Pashto or Pakhto is a well-known Aryan tribe mentioned in the Rigveda along with others, Jadu (or Yadu), Kuru, Sivas and Bhalanases. The Jaduns are the modern Gaduns, Sivas have left behind their name in the modern village of Siva in Swabi tehsil, and Kuru can be recognised in the valley of Panchkora in the district of Dir and Bhalanases have left their name in Bolan Pass. It is the Aryans who first started the geographic name of Gandhara in about the middle of the second millennium BC that extended on either side of the river Indus, with two capitals, Pushkalavati (modern Charsadda) on the west and Taxila on the east. Later the western capital was transferred to Peshawar (old Purushapura)."

"In Gandhara lived eight Aryan tribes, known as Ashtakas, whose king, named as Astes in the Greek accounts fought with Alexander’s forces. The place name Hashtnagar recalls their memory. The Ashtakas have probably left behind their trace in the name Khattaks, who spread out south of the river Kabul right up to Attock.The Achaemenian Iranian Empire extended into this part, and Herodotus names the provinces as Gandhara, Paktyike, Sattagudi (i.e. Sapta Gomati, inclusive of Bannu, D.I. Khan, Zhob and Loralai districts, and finally Maka or Makran in the coastal region. Next province is called Hindu or Sindhu to the east of the river Sindhu. He also mentions the country of Darad in the north and refers to the Babylonian name Paropamisadae, i.e. the hilly area beyond, which in Sanskrit is called Avagana, or Apagana or Afgana (ava meaning far and gana meaning tribe) and hence tribes of the distant area, referring to Kabul region. Paktyike still survives in the provincial name of Paktya in Afghanistan, although it is much reduced in size."

"The geographical name Gandhara continued until AD10 century, i.e for nearly twenty-five hundred years, when after the overthrow of the Hindu Shahi dynasty by Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni, it was incorporated into his Ghazni empire and Gandhara was forgotten into the limbo of history. The Arab conquest of this region does not record Pakhto or Pakya because the Arabs fought with the Turki Shahi or Hindu Shahi rulers. However, the spread of Islam transformed the whole mental make-up and tradition of the people. Many of the tribes started connecting themselves with the Semitic tribes or with Iranian heroes of Shanamah fame; e.g. Gakkhars call themselves Kianis, and the Awans associate themselves with Qutub Shahis. Similarly, the Pakhtuns trace their traditional origin from the lost tribes of the Jews, as recorded in the Makhzan-i-Afghana of the time of Sher Shah Suri. It is after the conquest of the Arabs that the name Khyber was applied to the pass and Ali Masjid was built there near the old Buddhist site."

I also think this connection to lost Jewish tribe may be unfounded.

I also think this connection to lost Jewish tribe is all silly. When I first moved to the US as a student, I even read that the word Khan was a corruption of Kahn (a last name), and I accepted it because it made sense but we now know that is stupid.

Friend,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful research and findings on the issue !

Yes, it is a pure legend as the headline of my post clearly shows but it is neither silly/stupid nor anything else but a simple legend quoted by the author none else than Dr. B.B. Lal in his research paper given in the book quoted earlier.

Since you are a promising scholars and have to go miles on the ladder of learning, and also that you may have so many divergent sources, you must avoid using such words as 'silly' or 'stupid'. This will add grace to your writings/views. Nonetheless, you are the master of show and I respect your right to free expression !

None has said that they are historic findings!

But we as students of history know that legends and traditions pave way for reaching to the facts and if no other sources comes forward, then legends serve the purpose of construction of historic facts as has been happening in the case of traditions being used to reconstruct history world over including ancient history of India.

Thanks

Gandhar is and had been a region or to say a part of the area covered by the country presently covered by Afghanistan not whole of the territories presently covered by Afghanistan.

Rajpal ji,

Thank you for you comments and your advice is well taken. I will strive to avoid usage of certain words, as you rightly pointed out. I have even modified my post above to reflect it. As somebody who is just an interested person and not an active scholar, I will be learning forever and modifying my views since history of this region is so vast and complex.

Coming to the topic, what do you make of Dr Dani's views. He has done some very good research. It also ties in with your thread on chronology of Indian history and Vedas.

Secondly, in your future threads should I just assume that when you mention something as 'Legend ...', it should not be treated as historical.

As always, I look forward to material presented by you on this subject and future subjects.

Friend,

As stated earlier, so long as other concrete sources are not available, legend proves a path breaker to reach to historical facts and is used as such by the authors. If stronger evidence/facts/sources emerge to support it, then okay it is used as supportive evidence. But in the eventuality of converse situation, it is rejected.

For further clarification, read E.H. Carr, What is History or any other standard book on historiography please.

Thanks.

Majority of Jat clans is from Nagavansha who were the original inhabitants of India. There were constant attempts to exterminate them by dominant rulers be it Pandavas or Guptas.

Were Nagvanshi people non-Aryan ? BTW I doubt that Jats were related more to original inhabitants(pre-Aryan) on basis of genetics.

 

[bsbana]

H A Rose writes at page-377:

Social distinctions among the Jats

Among the Jats the only* social distinctions are the well-known 'Akbari' or Darbāri makāns — 35 in number according to the usual account. But in Amritsar the Akbari is only the highest of a series of four grades, the Aurangzebi (or those admitted to this rank in the time of Aurangzeb), Khalsāi (or those admitted in Sikh times) and Angrezi (or those admitted since British rule began) being the other three, and no less than 150 villages, all generally speaking in the Manjha, now claim Darbāri status. There is also a Shahjahdni grade, the Sansi Jats, of Raja Sansi, having been admitted in the reign of Shah Jahan.

The origin of the Akbari group is thus described. When the emperor Akbar took in marriage the daughter of Mihr Mitha, a Jat, of the Manjha†, 35 of the principal Jat, and 36 of the leading Rajput families countenanced the marriage and sent representatives to Delhi. Three of those Jat families are still found in Hoshiarpur, and are called the Dhaighar Akbari, as they comprise the Bains Jats†† of Māhilpur, the Lahotas of Garhdiwala and the Khungas of Budhipind, which latter is styled the 'half' family, so that the three families are called the 2-1/2 (dhāighar). The Akbari Jats follow some of the higher castes in not allowing remarriage of widows, and in practising darbāra, which is a custom of giving vails at weddings to the mirrāsis of other Akbari families. Their parohits also place the janeo on them at their marriages, removing it a few days afterwards. Below the Akbari (according to the Hoshiarpur account) is the Darbāri grade, descendants of those who gave daughters to the emperor Jahāngir. Thus some of the Man Jats are Darbāris, and they will only marry with Darbaris as a rule. But they will accept brides from Jats of grades below the Darbari provided the dower (dahej) is sufficiently large.

As regards Gurdaspur, Sir Louis Dane wrote : — " Some of the better gots of Hindu Jats or those living in celebrated villages or nāmas will not give their daughters to men of gots considered socially inferior, and the restriction often gave rise to female infanticide, as eligible husbands were scarce."

Comment- We find again in this para also facts about 'Akbar took in marriage the daughter of Mihr Mitha, a Jat, of the Manjha'. Can somebody verify from records or villages mentioned here ?

There is no hierarchy/hypergamy system among Jats. Rose might have quoted about Jats of western Punjab(Manjha) or he might have written some rumors.

They fought against "Muslims and Britishers" by their own, for the freedom of the nation. Now a days also we can find them maximum in Defence and Police services. You will find them very hard working, honest, brave, sincere, dedicated and responsible towards their work. They are highly reputed Jats in western Uttar Pradesh.

Where is this CRAP of hierarchy/hypergamy in Jats coming from?????? A Jat is a Jat and all Jats are equal.

As per H S ROSE,,, his writing might have been influenced by the current rulers of the time when he wrote all this crap. Lot of writings of the past were influenced by biases and a policy of making some one happy whether that be local rulers of certain section of society who dominate the area.

Since ROSE himself was a foreigner, we should take caution interpreting him . It's obvious that he might have dependent on Indians, he can't do research alone, so he might have gotten misleading information from his Indian sources.

Singala Jat clan

[wiki]Singala[/wiki] (सींगला) Singad (सींगड़) Sigar (सीगड़) is gotra of Jats in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.


According to Hukum Singh Panwar they are Sringala of the Harivamsa Purana (65, 15-20), the Sringin (शृङ्गिन) of Mahabharata (II, 47, 26) and (I.36.21,24)[1]. [2]


Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria) writes:[3] The Jat tribes[4] Sigroa or Sigroha bear unmistakable identity With the so-called Rigvedic non-Aryan people named Sigru of the east. other Jat tribes[5] closely resemble several other Rigedic Aryan tribes. Among such Jat tribes are Singala or Singla or Singar or Sangar.[6]


According to Dr Mahendra Singh Arya and others, this gotra originated from place named Sigal, place is the royal residence of the Sakas, in Sistan (सीस्तान) in Iran/Afghanistan. [7]

Roj Jat clan History

रोज गोत्र के जाटों का प्रवाह बीकानेर की ओर से मारवाड़ की तरफ है. 855 ई. में रोहितास नाम के सरदार ने रोजास नामक गाँव को आबाद किया था. उसके ही वंशज छाजूजी ने छाजोली गाँव बसाया था जो नागौर परगने में है. इस तरह रोजास (बीकानेर) से लेकर छाजोली (नागौर) तक रोज गोत्र के जाटों का राज था . छाजूजी के पोत्र चावड जी ने कठोती गाँव आबाद किया था . इनके वंशज छाजोली, कचरास, सांडिला, खाटू, खूनखुना आदि में आबाद हैं. जब राठोड इस इलाके में आये तो इनकी प्रभुता समाप्त हो गयी. (डॉ पेमाराम, राजस्थान के जाटों का इतिहास,2010, पृ.22)

This looks more like a traditional and verbal way of record keeping. I think the history and naming of "Jat", clans is much older . The dates you are giving in connection to clan origins are much recent in terms of human history. The point is: the same clan name is found in Europe and it is much older then the date u state. How is it possible the same clan names are repeating in different parts of the world? Many clan names like "Gill", Mann", "Malik", Han, etc. are found through out western world. Why so?

As in Ancient India record keeping was very subjective issue (some people kept records, some changed records according to their needs, some records were mostly in verbal form, etc.), then due wars and large scale human movements and migrations, such records were either lost or manipulated. As today it is the age of information flow therefore, we have to start looking at old information from a newer perspective. We need to investigate much further into history and connect the roots in the clan context.
