Research on history of Jat clans

maddhan1979 said:
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.

The books that were written on "Jat history" in last few hundred years were mostly based on localized knowledge, folklore's, myth's, etc, therefore, i think there is a need to re-investigate and rewrite the history from a scientific and archaeological perspective.

One of the interesting facts is "Jat" clan names are written as they are throughout the world, another example is "Lohan" family name is found in west and we also have "Lohan" as a clan name. There are many more, one or two names can be a coincidence,,,but how is it possible that so many family names are repeating?
 
Shantanu ji I will request to read Hukum Singh Punwar's book on Jat History. He explains migration of Jats to western countries. Read the Chapter - [wiki]The Jats:Their Origin, Antiquity and Migrations/The migrations of the Jats to the North-Western countries[/wiki]
 
History of Bidiasar clan

बिडियासर: राजस्थान में नागौर जिले के गाँव खींयाला में बिडियासर गोत्र के जाटों का शासन था और वहां के सरदार के अधीन आस-पास के 27 गाँव थे. बाद में दिल्ली सुलतान की अधीनता में यह इलाका आ गया तब ये इनके अधीन हो गए थे और गाँवों से लगान वसूल कर दिल्ली जमा कराते थे. (डॉ पेमाराम, राजस्थान के जाटों का इतिहास पृ.23). पाली जिले के गाँव आनंदपुर कालू में बिडियासर जाटों का लंबे समय तक राज रहा. वहां का बडियासर सरदार 44 गांवों का मुखिया था और उसका अपना न्यायालय था. वहां के सरदार देवसी को जोधपुर महाराजा अजीत सिंह ने 1708 ई. में न केवल उनकी महिलाओं को पर्दे में रहने का अधिकार दिया बल्कि उनको गले में सोना पहनने का भी अधिकारी दिया था. (ठाकुर देशराज, मारवाड़ का जाट इतिहास, पेज 136-138; डॉ पेमाराम, राजस्थान के जाटों का इतिहास पृ.25)

बडियासर और काला लोगों की लड़ाई

इतिहासकार डॉ पेमाराम[राजस्थान के जाटों का इतिहास पृ.24-25] ने इस घटना का विस्तार से वर्णन किया है:

कहते हैं, पहले बडियासर रताऊ में रहते थे और खिंयाला गाँव को धसूंडा कहते थे, जहाँ काला गोत्र के जाट रहते थे. यहाँ सात काला भाईयों के बीच एक बहिन थी, जिसका विवाह रताऊ के बडियासर के साथ हुआ था. कुछ दिनों बाद वह बडियासर अपनी ससुराल धसूंडा आकर रहने लग गया था. काला भाई इस बडियासर बहनोई को बेगार में सुल्तान की रकम जमा कराने दिल्ली भेज देते थे. बार-बार जाने से दिल्ली सुल्तान के यहाँ चौधरी के रूप में बडियासर का नाम अंकित हो गया था और चौधरी की पाग उसको मिलने लग गयी थी. काला लोगों को जब पता चला कि गाँव की चौधर बडियासर बहनोई के हाथ चली गयी है तो उन सात काला भाईयों ने बहिन को रातिजका में बुलाकर पीछे से बहनोई की हत्या कर दी.

उस समय बडियासर की पत्नी गर्भवती थी. अपने पति की हत्या सुनकर वह विलाप करने लगी, तब गोठ मांगलोद की दधिमती माताजी ने उसे परचा दिया कि बिलोने में से छाछ उछाल दे, जितने छींटे उछलेंगे, उतने ही बडियासर पैदा हो जायेंगे और तुम्हारे गर्भ से जो पुत्र पैदा होगा, वह कालों से वैर लेगा. बाद में गर्भ से कांवसी नामक लड़का पैदा हुआ. बड़ा होने पर अपने पिता की मौत का वृत्तांत जानकर वह अपने चाचा के साथ दिल्ली सुल्तान के पास गया और वहां से मदद के लिए दिल्ली सुल्तान की फ़ौज ले आया . कालों पर बडियासर लोगों ने चढ़ाई कर दी. खिंयाला के तालाब के पास लडाई हुई जिसमें बहुत से बडियासर मारे गए, परन्तु लड़ाई में कालों से पूरा वैर लिया गया और उस इलाके में एक भी काला को नहीं छोड़ा. सारे काला या तो मारे गए या इलाका छोड़कर भाग गये. कालों से सारा इलाका खाली हो गया. इसके बाद बडियासर लोगों ने यह तय किया कि भविष्य में कोई भी बडियासर काला जाटों के यहाँ न तो पानी पिएगा, न खाना खायेगा और न उनसे शादी-विवाह का व्यवहार करेगा. इस बात की जानकारी होने पर बडियासर गोत्र के जाट अभी तक इन बातों का पालन करते हैं. फ़ौज के हमले के दौरान घोड़ों के खुरों से जो 'खंग' उडी थी इससे इस गाँव का नाम बदलकर धसुंडा से खिंयाला हो गया था.

कालों से लड़ाई में बहुत से बडियासर मारे गए थे, उन सब की देवलियां खींयाला गाँव के तालाब के किनारे बनी हुई है. इसमे काँवसी का लड़ाई के दौरान सर कट जाने के बाद भी धड से लड़ते हुए वह खिंयाला के जंगल में गिरे थे. उनका स्थान आज भी खिंयाला के जंगल में बना हुआ है, जहाँ उनकी मूर्ती लगी हुई है और उस पर मंदिर बना हुआ है. बडियासर गोत्र के लोग उस स्थान को 'दादोसा का मंदिर' कहकर पुकारते हैं. खींयाला के कांवसी की देवली पर वि. 1383 संवत (1326 ई.) मीती मिंगसर सुदी 4 की तिथि अंकित है और उसके पौत्र नरसी की देवली पर वि. संवत 1405 (1348 ई.) की तिथि अंकित है जो इस बात को दर्शाता है कि बडियासर और काला लोगों के बीच कई वर्षों तक झगडा चला था.

बदला लेते समय ढाढी ने बडियासरों के पक्ष में ढोल बजाने से इंकार कर दिया था, इस पर बडियसरों ने तय किया था कि भविष्य में ढाढी उनका ढोल नहीं बजयेगा. इसके बाद बडियसरों के शुभ अवसरों पर ढोली ही ढोल बजाता है.

Moda Jat clan

We have researched History of Moda clan, which can be seen on Jatland - [wiki]Moda[/wiki]

[wiki]Moda[/wiki] (मोड़ा) is a gotra of Jats. [1] Bhim Singh Dahiya[2] writes: Inscription found at Varanama in former Baroda state speaks of a minister of Moda family. [3] In the South, coins of Maan kings, a Jat clan considered as Sakas, have been found in Konkan area. Nagarjunikonda inscriptions refer to a Saka, named Moda. (EI, XX, p. 37. ) This and many other pieces of evidence point to the extension of the Sakas in the South and their extensive settlements there.[4]

Research on Maharajki clan

Maharajki (महाराजकी)[1] or Maharajaki is a gotra of Jats [2] found in Punjab, India.

Bhim Singh Dahiya[3] writes: Yet another tribe of the Jats called Maharajaki are also mentioned by V.S Agarwala. The Maharajki Jats of Moga area, whose coins have also been found in the same area are physically robust and opposed to subordination.[4]

Bhim Singh Dahiya[5] further writes: It is these tribes whom Panini called Ayudhajivis and it was to their federation that the name of Jat Sangha was given. It is these people who established numerous cities in 'Uttarapatha, with their names ending with Kantha, well known to Panini. From the same source we know of the existence of other Jat clans in Punjab at that time. For example Maharajki, Kundu (Kaundoparatha), Dhanda (Dandaki), Dhama, Parsaval (Parsavah), Syal (Salva), Kathia or Kathwal (Kathoi of the Greeks), Mall or Malli (Malloi of the Greeks and Malavas of the Indians), etc., etc.

History of Riyad Jat clan

Riyad (रियाड़) Riyar (रियाड़) Riar (रिआर) Jats live in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab. Riar or Riyar is ancient Jat Gotra.

Origin

The Riar clan is remembered after the city of Riar in Assyria.[1]

History

According to Bhim Singh Dahiya the clan Riar is of Assyrian origin.[2]

Bhim Singh Dahiya[3] writes that Raja Ben/Ven Chakravarti, (the Chakva Ben of the legends) is famous in India from Punjab to Bengal, though he is not allotted any place in the present history. It was known that the Vens had played an important role in the history of Central Asia from very ancient times. One of their principal cities was Ardinis (the city of the Sungod) also called Musasir, Menuas (810 B.C.), the grandson of Sarduris I, then subjugated the other Jat clans. "Parsuas (present Parsvals) had already been attacked by Ispuinis, and Menuas now proceeded to subdue the Manna, farther east, on the southern side of Lake Urmia". [4] He brought the Diaus, the Dia or Dayaeni of the Assyrians (present Dahiya clan) under control on the banks of Euphrates, which was made the western boundary of the kingdom. Menuas built many canals through the mountains which were cut open, and one of the canals is now called Shamiram Suo. He built the city of Menuasgert (Melazgert). His son, Argistis I, annexed the territories of the Etius and the Dayaeni. Mileds (Mardii of Herodotus) were brought under control. Sarduris II, his son fought many wars with the Assyrians and won them. He proclaimed his victory over Ashur Nirari V (754-745 B.C.). Later on under Tiglath Pilesar III Assyria avenged the defeats and Sargon of Assyria claims to have destroyed a city of Sarduris, named Riar.

Bhim Singh Dahiya[5] writes that the city of Riar is named after the Riar clan.

Lacha Jat Clan

Lacha (लाचा) is a gotra of Jats listed by Jat History Dalip Singh Ahlawat/Parishisht-I, s.n. ल-78.

Lake Lacha is a freshwater lake, located in the south of Kargopolsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast in Russia, 7 kilometres south of the town of Kargopol. It is the largest lake in Arkhangelsk Oblast, with a surface area of 334 square kilometres and a basin area of 12,600 square kilometres. Lake Lacha is the source of the Onega River, one of the major waterways of the White Sea basin.

Dalip Singh Ahlawat has mentioned that 70 Jat clans ruled in Central Asia. It means Lacha clan is in addition to them ?

Where have Lacha people gone ?

It is a matter of research !

[wiki]Saradwat[/wiki] (सरदवत) fought Mahabharata War in the division of Kauravas. [wiki]Bhisma Parva, Mahabharata/Book VI Chapter 20[/wiki] mentions Saradwat (सरदवत) in shloka 13.

शारदवतश चॊत्तरधूर महात्मा; महेष्वासॊ गौतमश चित्रयॊधी

शकैः किरातैर यवनैः पह्लवैश च; सार्धं चमूम उत्तरतॊ ऽभिपाति (VI. 20.13)
 
Shyam Jat claqn

Shyam (श्याम) is gotra of Jats.

This gotra originated from Vasudeva's brother Shyamaka (श्यामक).

Jats and Meds have been the oldest occupants of Sind. The first Persian account of the 11th century Mujmat ut-Tawarikh (1026), originally an ancient work in Sanskrit, mentions Jats and Meds as the ancient tribe of Sind and calls them the descendants of Ham, the son of Noah.

Hukum Singh Panwar quotes different versions of many Indian place and tribal names given by E. Pococke in his book, 'India in Greece'.

Hamman = Hammon = Ham (Sam or Shyam).

This explains relation between Shyam, Ham and Jats.

Note see more on JL Wiki at [wiki]Shyam[/wiki]
 
Sepat clan history

Sepat (सेपट) clan Jats are found in Rajasthan. Sibati/Sabit/Spapi/Sipapi/Sipand and Sipat are clans found in Afghanistan.

Lake Urmia in Iran has 102 islands. One of the island is named Sepid. Probably it gives the name to this Gotra.


[wiki]Bharhut inscriptions[/wiki] have an Inscriptions on Rails about Sepat clan:

41. Aya Jāto Sepeṭakino Suchi dānam. Meaning - " Rail-gift of the reverend Jāta Sepeṭaki."

The term Sepatiko occurs in the Arian Pali inscription of Taxila, where, according to Professor Dowson, it is the name of some " building or establishment." It is probable, therefore, that Sepetakino is the title of the reverend Jata, as keeper or guardian of the Sepaṭiko.


Note - See more at [wiki]Sepat[/wiki]
