Research on history of Jat clans

There are lot of Jat gotras which are similar and have common origins with other community gotras :

These gotras might hold meaning of their ancient past.

I propose a thread which explores this issue:

Kalheer: This is combination of two words: Kal + Heer.

Kal which means "Time" in sanskrit and "Heer" is a word which means "swamp area or marshy area".

Now which area of swamp is it being talked about and where is it located?

For this we have to travel back in time and visit ancient parts of "Fertile Crescent"

The clue for which are present in the holy books of Judaism/Christianity or Islam.

"Kal" is a sanskrit word therefore it is also possible that the ancient migrants which came from middle eastern civilizations, when they came to India settled near some "Swampy region" or "Heer".

The word "Heer" has its origins in old Indic languages and connects with "Marshy and swampy area". Such marshy and swampy areas existed in abundance in ancient India starting all the way from river Indus to interior India i.e. many rivers of Punjab, Yamuna and Ganga.

Therefore it is possible that the people settling down in these ancient "Marshy areas" were called "Kal Heer".

Then the next big question is what is the main name for these people?

One of the such clan names is "Medhan", if "Medhan is of much ancient origin then the word "Kal heer" then it should also have glimpse of "Medhan" in other cultures throughout Indo European world.

The presence of "Medhan" in Indo European world seems to be true. We can see the same family names in Indo European countries. So, what is the root word of "Medhan"?

The word "Han" is an ancient concept of "Horse riding people, who stretched all the way from central Asia to Middle east and North West India.

So, "Medhan" is "Med+ Han" therefore the root word is "Med" or "Mead" in European countries.

The history of this ancient family name can be traced to cradle of civilization and the Median Empire.
 
Another famous Jat name is "Rathi" which could have been derived from ancient word "Rath", which means people who use Chariot.

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariot

Ancient middle east civilizations were one of the starters of Chariot culture or the riders of horse and chariot.

This tread was in the Jat History section. Why is it moved to Current Affairs is beyond understanding. It should again be moved to the Jat History section. We are searching under this section the history of Jat clans.
 
History of Khot clan

Khot (खोत) Khoth (खोथ) Kot (कोत) Koth (कोथ) Gotra Jats live in Rajasthan, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana.

Origin - It is originated from the people who came from Khotan.

History

Khot people probably came from Khotan. Khotan was founded by Kustana, son of Ashoka in 250 BC.[Jat History Dalip Singh Ahlawat/Chapter IV, pp. 364-365]

Khotan River at present is known as Hotan. During Ramayana and Mahabharata periods it was called Sailoda.

Sailoda river is mentioned in Ramayana (IV.43.37) and Mahabharata (II.48.2) flowing in Uttarakuru region between the mountains of Meru and Mandara. There used to grow the Kichaka bamboo. It was inhabited by ancient people like Khashas, Ekasanas, Arhas, Pradaras, Dirghavenus, Paradas, Kulindas, Tanganas, and Paratanganas etc.

Sailoda is identified by V.S. Agarwal with the present Khotan River on the banks of which are mines of yashab or ashmasar which was probably known as suvarna. kichaka is a chinese word. [Aitihasik Sthanavali by Vijayendra Kumar Mathur,p.911]
 
Haihaya, Takshak and Jat

James Tod writes that The tribes here alluded to are the Haihaya or Aswa, the Takshak, and the Jat or Getae; the similitude of whose theogony, names in their early genealogies, and many other points, with the Chinese, Tatar, Mogul, Hindu, and Scythic races, would appear to warrant the assertion of one common origin. (Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume I, Chapter 6 Genealogical history of the Rajput tribes subsequent to Vikramaditya,p.68)
 
History of Dudia clan

Dudia ia an ancient clan included in Thirty Six Royal Races. Dudia is mentioned by James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume III, Publisher: Humphrey Milford Oxford University Press 1920, pp.1637-1642.

Read more at http://www.jatland.com/home/Dudia

I think it has some connections with Dudi Jat clan. Need further research.
 
History of Bagrawat clan

Bagrawat (बागडा़वत) or Bagarwa gotra Jats are found in Sikar district of Rajasthan.

Originated from area called Bagar waste in Hissar District. (James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume III, pp.1639-1640)

According to Dr Atal Singh Khokhar Genghis Khan was a Bagrawat Jat. (Jāton kī Utpati evam Vistār (Jarta taranginī), Jaypal Agencies, Agra 2002, page-201)

James Tod writes that at the village of Gopalpur, attached to estate of Kuwaria, was a temple of the Bagrawats, a tribe little known, having a shrine of their divinity. ( James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume III, pp.1639-1640)

History of Syal Jat clan

Siyal (सियाल) Syal (स्याल) Syala (स्याल) is gotra of Jats in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. They live in Mandsaur district in Madhya Pradesh.

History

Sir H. M. Elliot Edited by John Dowson writes while identifying The Hindu kings of Kabul that Kalar " is, we have little doubt, the Syalapati of our coins. There is less difference in sound between Syala and Kalar than would at first be imagined ; so that if our translator, Al Biruni, wrote his Arabic version from oral tradition, this slight change in the initial pronunciation of the name would be fairly probable." It is to be observed that the Jami'u-t Tawarikh and its followers omit all notice of Kalar, making Samand the immediate sucoessor of Kanak.

The Syala or Syal-pati of whom so many coins are found in Afghanistan, was probably a leader, and, perhaps, even the progenitor of the Syal Jats of Jhang Syal and other localities in the Panjab. (The history of India : as told by its own historians. Volume II/Note A.— The Hindu kings of Kabul, 1867 Volume II: To the Year A.D. 1260, pp.421-422)

The Allahabad Pillar Inscription, describing the achievements of Samudraguta mentions the he punished the scion of the KOTA (soft t and

short a) family (kula) in the place called Puashp.

There are people of the Khot gotra in Maharashtra.
 
History of Khot clan (contd)

Allahabad Stone Pillar Inscription of Samudragupta (A.D. 335-76) tells us following info about Kot clan:


(L. 14.)-(by whom), causing him who was born in the family of the Kotas to be captured by (his) armies, (and) taking his pleasure at (the city) that had the name of Pushpa, while the sun . . . . . the banks . . . . . .;-

१४ दण्डैर्गाहयतैव कोतकुलजं पुष्पाह्वये क्रीडता2

सूर्य्ये (?) नित्य (?) --- --- तट --- --- --- (॥) [७]

It is a matter of research where Pushpa City is located.

An Imperial History Of India By K.P. Jayaswal - the Sanskrit Text, Revised by Rahul Sankrityayana describes at page-14:

Magadha Kings and their Ministers, subsequent to Udayin [c.450-B.C.338 B.C.]:

Vishoka (=Nanda-vardhana)- Surasenas. - Nandas : After various advices put in the mouth of the Buddha on magical practices for kings of the future, history is again taken up in verse 413 (S., p. 612; T., p. 445 B). After this Asoka-Mukhya there will be Vishoka who will worship (Buddha) relics for 76 years (416). He was a good king. He died of fever. After him was Surasena [Virasena of Taranatha]. He caused stupas to be put up to the confines of the Sea. He reigned for 17 years. After him there will be king Nanda at Pushpa-City.

History of Khot clan (contd)

Udayagiri Cave Inscription of Chandragupta II (=A.D. 375-414) mentions Virasena, the child of Kotsa, the minister for peace and war under Chandragupta II, who knew the meanings of the words, and logic, and (the ways of) mankind, who was a poet and who belonged to (the city of) Pataliputra.[ कौत्सश्शाब इति ख्यातो वीरसेन: कुलाख्यया । शब्दार्थ-न्याय-लोकज्ञ कवि पाटलिपुत्रक ॥]

The coins of the Kotas bearing their name have been found in East Punjab, and Delhi, and 'they probably ruled in the Upper Gangetic valley'.[ The Vakatka-Gupta Age by R. C. Majumdar and A.S. Altekar pp. 139-40]

Scholars differ in their views about placing the Kotas; some identify it with Kanyakubja while others with Pataliputra.[Ibid, p. 140; S.R. Goyal, D. pp. 140-141; Journal of Bihar and Orissa Research Society, Patna. pp. 113, 119.]

It is known that Puspapura or Kusumapura was the name of both the Pataliputra and Kanyakubja.[Corpus Inscripionum Indicarum, Vol. III by John Faithful Fleet , p. 5.]

It must, however, be noted that the city of Puspa here is connected mainly with Samudragupta and not with the Kota-kulaja,[Ibid., p. 12; also see Pataliputra in the place-names.] so the location of the city of the Kotas is not to be traced in Kusumapura or Puspapura. It is well known that Chandragupta I received Magadha through his Licchavi-alliance and it is possible that Samudragupta enjoyed his youth playfully at Pataliputra (Puspa-āhvaye kridata). So Goyal's assumption that 'Harisena has referred to Kanyakubja and not Pataliputra'[S.R. Goyal, D. p. 140.] is incorrect. It is only later that Kanyakubja gains the honour of being called Kusumapura when the glory of Pataliputra had started declining.[ U.N. Roy, Studies in Ancient Indian History and Culture, p. 93]

In view of the context of the victory over Kota-kulaja along with the Naga kings Achyuta and Nagasena and with the support of numismatic evidence it may be said that the kotas lived somewhere between East Punjab and Delhi.

'kota' of the expression 'kotakulajam' and ,kautsa' are two different things.Both Being almost contemporary, the one can not be derived f

rom the other.Rendered in English spellings give an impression of having some relationship.

kautsa comes from' kutsa' (i.e. censure) whereas kota does not carry any sibilant sound. Unless there is compelling evidence we could

leave the two in their own respective place.
 
Jat clans Descended from Salivahan

Salivahana founded Salivahanpur on (S.72 = AD 16). With this reference of Date we now follow James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume II, Publisher: Madras: Higginbotham and Co. 1873. and genealogy as provided in Annals of Jaisalmer.

We can now calculate giving a period of 25 years to each generation when particular Jat clan was in existence. Period comes the First to Second century AD for these clans.

Salivbahan had fifteen sons, who all became Rajas : viz., Balund, Rasaloo, Dhurmungud, Vacha, Roopa, Soondur, Lekh, Juskurn, Naima, Maut, Neepak, Gangeou, Jugeou ; all of whom, by the strength of their own arms, established themselves in independence. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.200]


Raja Baland succeeded. He had seven sons : Bhatti, Bhupati, Kullar, Jinj, Sarmor, Bhynsrecha, Mangreo. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.201]


Raja Bhatti succeeded his father Raja Baland. He conquered fourteen princes, and added their fortunes to his own. Among his effects, he reckoned twenty-four thousand mules laden with treasure ; sixty-thousand horse, and innumerable foot. As soon as he mounted the gadi, he assembled all his forces at Lahore preparatory to the teeka-dour destined against Beerbhan Bhagel, lord of Kanakpur. Beerbhan fell in the battle which ensued, at the head of forty thousand men. With Bhatti, the patronymic was changed, and the tribe thenceforth was distinguished by his name Bhatti. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202] Bhatti clan started with Raja Bhatti [ 54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti (66 AD)]


Bhupati had a son, Chakito, from whom is descended the Chakito (Chagitai) tribe.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202] [54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti → 57. Bhupati → 58. Chakito (116 AD)]


Kullar, third son of Raja Baland, had eight sons, whose descendants are designated Kullar. Their names were, Seodas, Ramdas, Asso, Kistna, Samoh, Gango, Jesso, Bhago ; almost all of whom became Moosulmauns. .[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202] [ 54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Kullar (66 AD)]


Jinj, the fourth son, had seven sons ; Champo, Gokul, Mehraj, Hansa, Bhadon, Rasso, Jaggo, all whose issue bore the name of Jinj and in like manner did the other sons become the patriarchs of tribes. Doubtless the junction of Jinj with that of Johya, another numerous tribe, formed the Jenjuheh of Babar ; the Johyas of the Bhatti annals, now known only by name, but whose history forms a volume. The sons of Jinj have left numerous traces — Jenjian on the Garah ; Jinjinialli in the desert, &c. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202]. Jinja and Jinjwaria are Jat clans originated from Jinj. [ 54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Jinj (66 AD]


Raja Bhatti had two sons, Mangal Rao and Masur Rao.


Mangal Rao succeeded, but his fortune was not equal to that of his fathers. Dhoondi, king of Ghazni, with a mighty force, invaded Lahore; nor did Mangul Rao oppose him, but with his eldest son fled into the wilds on the hanks of the river. The foe then invested Salivahanpur, where resided the family of the Raja.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202]. Here we find mention Dhoondi clan at the time of Mangal Rao . [ 54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti → 57. Mangal Rao (91 AD) ]. Dudi clan was in first Century.

Masur Rao escaped and fled to the Lakhi Jungle. There being only a cultivating peasantry in this tract, he overcame them, and became master of the country. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203]


Masur Rao had two sons, Abhe Rao and Saran Rao. The elder, Abhe Rao, brought the whole Lakhi Jungle under his control, and his issue, which multiplied, became famous as the Abhoria Bhattis. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203] [54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti → 57. Masur Rao → 58. Abhe Rao (116 AD) + Saran Rao (116 AD)]


Saran Rao quarreled with and separated from his brother, and his issue descended to the rank of cultivators, and are well known as the Saran Jats. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203] [54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti → 57. Masur Rao → 58. Abhe Rao (116 AD) + Saran Rao (116 AD)]


Mangal Rao, the son of Bhatti, and who abandoned his kingdom, had six sons : Majam Rao, Kullarsi, Moondraj, Seoraj, Phool, Kewala.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203]


Thus the offspring of Kullar-rai became the Kularia Jats. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.204] [ 54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti → 57. Mangal Rao → 58. Kullarsi (116 AD)]


Those of Moondraj and Seoraj, the Moond and Seora Jats.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.204] [54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti → 57. Mangal Rao → 58. Moondraj (116 AD), Seoraj (116 AD)]


The younger boys, Phool and Kewala, who were passed off as a barber (nai), and a potter (kumhar), fell into that class.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.204]

History of Moond clan

Moond (मूंड) Munda (मुण्ड) Mund (मूंड) Mund (मुंड)/(मुण्ड) Mund (मून्द)/Moond (मूण्ड) Moondh (मूंढ) is a clan of Jats. Moond Jats are found in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana in India. Mund/Munda (Kachwaha) clan is found in Afghanistan.

James Tod writes that Moondraj was son of Mangal Rao, who was son of Raja Bhatti, grandson of Raja Baland and great grandson of Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16). The offspring of Moondraj are the Moond Jats. [ James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume II, Annals of Jaisalmer, p.204]

James Tod writes that Chandravanshi King Prithibahu, son of Naba became prince of Marusthali. He had a son Bahubal, who espoused Kamlavati Puar, daughter of Vijaya Singh, Prince of Malwa. His son Bahu was killed by a fall from his horse ; he left one son, Subahu, who was poisoned by his wife, a daughter of Mund Raja Chohan of Ajmer : he left a son, Rijh, who reigned twelve years. He was married to Subhag Sundri, daughter of Ber Sing, prince of Malwa. His son was Raja Gaj. [ James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume II, Annals of Jaisalmer, p.197]

Rawal Moond

James Tod writes that Bhatti Chief Deoraj had two sons, Moond and Chadu ; the last, by a wife of the Baraha tribe, had five sons, whose descendants were styled Chada Rajputs. Deoraj excavated several large lakes in the territory of Khadal (in which Deorawal is situated) ; one at Tanot is called Tanosar ; another, after himself, Deosar. Having one day gone to hunt, slightly attended, he was attacked by an ambush of the Channa Rajputs, and slain with twenty-six of his attendants, after having reigned fifty-live years. His kin and clans shaved their locks and moustaches, excepting Moond.[James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume II, Annals of Jaisalmer, p.215-216]

Rawal Moond, who succeeded Deoraj, and performed all the ceremonies during the twelve days. Having made his ablutions with the water from sixty-eight different wells, in which were immersed the leaves of one hundred and eight different shrubs and trees, a female of spotless virtue waved the burning frankincense over his head. Before him was placed the punchamrita, consisting of curds, milk, butter, sugar, and honey ; likewise pearls, gems, the royal umbrella, the grass called doob, various flowers, a looking-glass, a young virgin, a chariot, a flag or banner, the vela flower, seven sorts of grain, two fish, a horse, a nukhunk (unknown), a bullock, a shell, a lotus, a vessel of water, the tail of the wild ox (chaonr), a sword, a female calf, a litter, yellow clay, and prepared food. Then, seated on the lion's hide, — (on which were painted the seven dwipas or continents of Hindu cosmography, appareled in the dress of the Jogi, and covered with ashes (bhabhut), with the mudra in his ears), — the white chaonr (ox-tail) was waved over his head, and he was inaugurated on the gadi of Deoraj, while the Purohit and chiefs presented their offerings. The teeka-dour was against the assassins of his father, who had congregated for defence, eight hundred of whom were put to death. [ James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume II, Annals of Jaisalmer, p.216]

Rawal Moond had one son, who was called Bachara. When about fourteen years of age the coco-nut came from Bullub-sen Solanki, Raja of Patun.[James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume II, Annals of Jaisalmer, p.216]

The ancestry of Bhatti Chiefs is as under starting from Salivahana:

54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16) → 55. Raja Baland → 56. Raja Bhatti → 57. Mangal Rao → 58. Majam Rao (Kullarsi, Moondraj, Seoraj, Phool, Kewala) → Rao Kehar → Rao Tano (Founded Tanot: S. 787 = 731 AD) → Biji Rai (Founded Bijnot: S. 813 = 756 AD, r.814-836) → Deoraj (Founded Deogarh or Deorawal: S. 909 = 853 AD) → Rawal Moond → Bachara → Dusaj (1043 AD) → Rao Jaisal (Lodrawa - founded Jaisalmer: S. 1212 = 1155 AD) → Kailan and Salivahan II

Note - James Tod has clearly written about Origin of Moond Jats from Rao Moondraj. This means that by this time they had come under the influence of Brahmanical religion. James Tod has not mentioned with any Bhatti Chief the process of making him a Raja except Rawal Moond. Mention of nukhunk (unknown) means Rawal Moond was not from Royal Line. This means Rawal Moond was a Jat who was selected to be made a Raja. Hence this entire process.

The dates mentioned by Tod from the records have been provided within brackets. No date has been provided for Rawal Moond but looking to the Lineage of Bhatti Chiefs it is about the middle of 9th Century. They had started marriage relations with Solanki. The clans Chada and Bachra are also in Jats.
