Research on history of Jat clans

Mr Burdak is doing a great job.
I do suggest that he should arrange the work of JAT great personalities according to the area in which they are excellent I.e academic,political,social and clan reforms. For example- Sir Chotu Ram in social and clan,
Swami Keswanand in education etc.
 
Jat clans known to Panini (Contd)

Madra (मद्र) were an ancient people as attested by traditions recorded in literature to have been living in central Punjab since remote antiquity. They were Chandravanshi Kshatriyas. Their territory formed a part of Vahika country according to Panini.

Madra is also a Jat clan.


Jat Gotras from MadraMaderna (मदेरणा) Madrak (मद्रक) Madraka (मद्रक) Madra (मद्र) Madrayana (मद्रेणा) Madhan (मधान) Mad (मद्) Madh (मध) gotra of Jats is derived from Madra (मद्र).[SUP][1][/SUP]


History -
V. S. Agrawala[SUP][2][/SUP] writes that Ashtadhyayi of Panini mentions janapada Madra (मद्र) (IV.2.131), which was a part of Vahika country with its capital at Sākala = Sialkot. Mahabharata mentions Sākala as the chief city of Vahikas on the Āpagā River. Panini does not explain the derivation of Vahika but Katyayana derives it from Bahis, outside, with the sufiix īkak (IV.1.85.5). This seems to agree with the epic description of Vahika as the country of five rivers but lying outside the pale of Aryan society, devoid of religion and impure (Karnaparva, 44.7.32).

V. S. Agrawala[SUP][3][/SUP] writes that Ashtadhyayi of Panini mentions janapada Uśīnara (उशीनर) (IV.2.118) - Panini mentions Ushinara as part of Vahika. Panini mentions three divisions of Vahika Country, viz Kekaya, Uśīnara and Madra. Fourth division to be added to Vahika country is Śavasa. Of these Kekaya and Śavasa may be located between Jhelum and Chenab, the first in the south and second in north respectively; Madra and Ushinara between the Chenab and Ravi River in the north and south respectively.

Ram Swarup Joon[SUP][4][/SUP] write: 64. Madrak, Madra: The Madrak gotra is an ancient gotra, and is the root of many of the Jat gotras. According to various historians Sialkot, Quetta and Ghazni were the capitals of the Madrakas since ancient times. King Shalya, the maternal uncle of the Kauravas was from the Madrak gotra. Colonel Todd found a rock inscription during the excavations of Shakla Nagri (Modern Sialkot), which he sent to the Asiatic society. In this inscription King Shalya has been called a Madrak Jat. In Mahabharata (Karna Parva) King Shalya has been called Jatit. Alexander's army had a fierce battle with the forces of the Madrakas at Sialkot. Madra and Madrayana are just the other names of Madrak. According to "Neel Puran", Madrak country began after crossing the river Bias, Satyabhama (Satluj) and the river Devika flowed through it. In ancient India the country between the rivers Ravi and Chenab was called Madrak. According to Alberuni and Ptolemy Sialkot and Shakilnagri are one and the same. People belonging to Bhatti gotra associate themselves with both Ghazni and Sialkot and for this reason the Bhatti gotra is accepted as a branch of Madrak.


Dr Pema Ram writes that after the invasion of Alexander in 326 BC, the Jats of Sindh and Punjab migrated to Rajasthan. They built tanks, wells and Bawadis near their habitations. The tribes migrated were: Shivis, Yaudheyas, Malavas, Madras etc. The Shivi tribe which came from Ravi and Beas Rivers founded towns like Sheo, Sojat, Siwana, Shergarh, Shivganj etc. This area was adjoining to Sindh and mainly inhabited by Jats. The descendants of Madras in Rajasthan are: Jinja, Bana, Thoria, Lagman, Kamodia, Madal, Devsalya, Junawa, Maderna, Judi, Madrewa, Khokh, Asihag etc. [SUP][5]

Jat clans known to Panini Madra (Contd)

Dalip Singh Ahlawat[SUP][6][/SUP] writes that in 15th century in the reign of Lodhi they were Muslim Jats settled in Samana of Patiala state. Sir Denzil Ibbtson writes that they left Patiala after harassment by Sikhs and came to Pehowa on the Saraswati River, where they were known as Madhan. A ruined Fort of Madhans can be seen at Murtijapur between Pehowa and Thanesar. These Madhans had a state called Karnal which had 150 villages. The Madra clan has majority of Muslims but there are Hindus also. There are 12 villages of Hindu Madra Jats near Kurukshetra. Sardar Nanu Singh along with his brothers Bhag Singh and Ram Singh of village Bhawal in Amritsar occupied a grand Fort at Buria near Jagadhri in 1764 AD. They founded a Buria state of 200 villages.
Main village of Madra Jats out of 24 villages are - In Nakur tahsil of Saharanpur: Ranipur, Badhi, Shukratal. In Moradabad Madra Rampur, Dhanpur, Makhyal, Alampur Muradabad, Kasampur Muradabad, Mubarakpur, Jhalchipur etc.



In Mahavansa

Mahavansa/Chapter 8 writes ... In Sihapura, after the death of king Sihabahu, his son Sumitta was king; he had three Sons by the daughter of the Madda (Madra) king. Sumitta being old he sent his youngest son Panduvasudeva (r.504 BC - 474 BC) to Lanka. Panduvasudeva took with him thirty-two sons of ministers and embarked (with them) in the disguise of mendicant monks. The ministers entrusted Panduvasudeva with the sovereignty of Lanka. He made Bhaddakaccana, youngest daughter of Sakka Pandu as his consort. Sakka Pandu for seeing the destruction of Shakyas took his followers with him and went to another tract of land on the further side of the Ganges and founded a city there and ruled there as king.

Jat clans known to Panini (Contd)

Usinaras (उसीनर) or Ushinaras were an ancient people attested to have been living in central Punjab since remote antiquity. They were Chandravanshi Kshatriyas often associated with Madras, Kekayas, Sibis etc and their territory formed part of Vahika country according to evidence of Panini.

[h=2]Ancestry of Ushinara[/h]Yayati → Anu → Sabhanara → Kalanara → Janamejaya → Maha Shala → Mahamanas → (1.Ushinara + 2.Titiksha)




[h=2]History[/h]V. S. Agrawala[SUP][1][/SUP] writes that Ashtadhyayi of Panini mentions janapada Uśīnara (उशीनर) (IV.2.118) - Panini mentions Ushinara as part of Vahika. Panini mentions three divisions of Vahika Country, viz Kekaya, Uśīnara and Madra. Fourth division to be added to Vahika country is Śavasa. Of these Kekaya and Śavasa may be located between Jhelum and Chenab, the first in the south and second in north respectively; Madra and Ushinara between the Chenab and Ravi River in the north and south respectively.
The Divyadana refers to the Shvasas in Uttarapatha with headquarters at Takshasila to which Ashoka was deputed by his father Bindusara as Viceroy to quell their rebellion. The name of Savasa or Shvasa seems to be preserved in in the modern name Chhiba comprising of Punchh, Rajauri and Bhimbhara. In literature Ushinaras are often associated with the Śibis (greek - Siboi) whose chief town Śibipura has been identified with Shorkot in Jhang district.
 
Jat clans known to Panini Usinara (Contd)

Association with present Jat gotras

Ram Sarup Joon[SUP][2][/SUP] writes ... Many names in the Genealogical tables of Yayati are associated with present Jat gotras. Some examples are Ushinar, Shishu Bhadra, Tak or Takshak, Satoti, Krishan or Kushana from the Yadhu branch; Dushyanta, Bharat, Bhardwaja, Hasti, Ajmirh, Kaushik, Gadh and Vishwamitra of Puru branch; Seth, Arh, Gandhi, Gaindhu and Gandhar of the Ardas branch.
Names given in the genealogical tables include only the important personages. Other Jat gotras maybe associated with names not included. It shows that majority of Jats belong to the Yayati dynasty. The five branches of Yayati dominated the whole of Northern India, Central Asia and some European countries. European scholars have known these conquerors as of Yayati dynasty. They are remembered by different names in different countries such as Yayati, Ayati, Yati, Yuti, Yeuchi, Jutes, Jeets, Jati, Gatae, Goth etc.
Quite a few names cut of the tables are associated with the area around Haridwar, called Shiv Ki Jata. Buddha married Ikshvaku’s sister Ahilya in this area. Rishi Vishwa Mitra’s son Gadh performed ‘tapasya’ here.


Bhagirath brought the River Ganges into the plains in this area and as legend goes, when Jhanu Rakshash (demon) drank it all, he cut open his thigh and released the Ganga River.

Actually Jhanu is also mentioned in the tables, and, as a ruler, must have opposed or disturbed the project of bringing the Ganga to the plains.

Shiv ji married Sati and Parbati in this area. This is the land where the Yayati dynasty prospered and expanded. The Puru dynasty had their capital in this area. Excavations in the area should lead to important revelations.

Ram Sarup Joon[SUP][3][/SUP] writes....In the eight generation of Krishna was King Ushinar whose son was Shavi, more popularly known as Shiv Ji. He married Sati and Parbati and had two sons Ganesh or Ganpati and Somi Kartik. Ganesh or Ganpati are not names but titles meaning head of a tribe. Jats have a big Gotra called Shavi. Iran was once known as Shavi Desh as mentioned by Huen Tsang and Fa Hein in the account of their travels to India. They have stated that through Tartar, Kashgar and Pamir they reached Shavi Country. Shavi is even today remembered in Iran as Prophet Shish. A shrine on his name is situated on the bank of River Tigris. A province of Iran was called Shavisthan now known as Seistan. These Shavi People came to be known as Shavisthani, Shavisthans or Scythians. A great Scythian writer Abul Ghazi has called himself a Jat of Chandravanshi dynasty. He also writes that the mother of Scythians was the daughter of Ahilya Devi.

Ram Swarup Joon[SUP][4][/SUP] writes that Shavi was the son of the king Ushinar. He was a Yogi and an ascetic. He was married to, Sati the daughter of king Daksha. After her death he married Parvati. His seat of tapasya was on the Gangotri Mountain. He had two sons, Smokartik and Ganpati (Ganesh).
 
Usinara (Contd)

The Shavi dynasty prospered well. The Descendants of his dynasty are famous as Takshak, Bachak, Bharhaich, Nags etc. Shavi founded the country of Shavisthan (Siestan) in Iran and also the Island of Jatoli. They also founded kingdoms of Turkistan and Scandinavia.
The Shavi rulers constructed the Shorkot fort in Jhang.
In Iran there is a Mausoleum of prophet Shish. Hieun T-sang and Fahien have also called Iran as Shavi country.

Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria)[SUP][8][/SUP] writes that ....Besides the Hittite, several other Aryan tribes penetrated peacefully into Middle East countries in Treta Yuga under the leadership of Kush, son of Rama Dashrathi, from Purshakhanda (Puruland in Sapta Sindhu) and founded various principalities there[SUP][9][/SUP]. These are known as the Mittanis and the Hurrians. These names are obvious variations of Sapta Sindhu names. Thus the Hittite were the Khattis, the Kushites (Kushanas?), Kissites, Cassites or (in Greek Kosseans). The Mittanis are Mithranis or Mirdhas or Midhas. The Hurrians are Suryans or Surias or Suryas - (S often changes into H). The Suryas were the Rajanya families of the Iksvaku branch of the Purus. The Kassites ruled over the whole of Babylonia up to 1180 B.C.
As noted before, Hall, Hrozny, Gurney, Saggs & Woolley consider these people of Indian origin. Hall asserts that they were Aryans and their language, especially of the Mittanis was Sanskrit and they worshipped Indian gods The Mittani kings carry such names as Tushrutha, Arthashumra, and Arthatama.[SUP][10][/SUP] Their deities are named as Shuria (Sun), Maryatas and Simalia. Giles[SUP][11][/SUP] identifies their deities with Indian Vedic gods Surya, Marutas and Himalaya (Syrian Simalia = Iranian 'Zimalia = Vedic Himalaya = Queen of snow). These remarkable similarities establish their Indian origin and confirm Hall's assertion. A Mittani horse-trainer named Kikulli[SUP][12][/SUP] prepared in Circa 1400 B.C. a manual on the science of horse-training in colloquial Sanskrit for the kings of the Kheta (Khatti or Hittite) dynasty . He popularised the Indian science in the Middle East.

In Mahabharata

Sauri (सौरी) (daughter of Surya) is mentioned in Mahabharata (I.89.42).
Surya (सूर्य) is mentioned in Mahabharata (I.59.26), (IX.44.4),(IX.44.28), (IX.45.44)

Jat clans known to Panini (Contd)

Bilvan (बीलवान)[SUP][1][/SUP] Bilwan (बीलवान)[SUP][2][/SUP] is gotra of Jats found in Uttar Pradesh.

Origin


  • This gotra is said to be started from their ancestral mahapurusha named Bilva (बिल्व) of Nagavansh. [SUP][3][/SUP] Bilva is a tree which has scientific name (Eagle marmelos).

  • It may get name from republic known to Panini called Bailvavana (बैल्ववन) (IV.2.53).[SUP][4][/SUP] Bailvavana = Bilva + Vana, a forest of Bilva trees.

History

V. S. Agrawala[SUP][5][/SUP] mentions Vishayas known to Panini which includes - Bailvavana (बैल्ववन), under Rajanyadi (राजन्यादि) (IV.2.53).

V. K. Mathur[SUP][6][/SUP] writes that Mahabharata Anusasana Parva (XIII.25.13) mentions tirtha named Bilvaka near Haridwar and Kankhal.[SUP][7]

[/SUP]The legend goes that when Lord Shiva founded Ujjain at the behest of Parvati on the banks of Shipra, four gates were established to guard the city from all four directions. Four guardian deities Pingaleshwar (East), Kayavarohaneshwar (South), Dardureshwar (North) and Bilveshwar (West) were appointed with Mahakaleshwar at centre of the town.

In Mahabharata

Adi Parva, Mahabharata/Mahabharata Book I Chapter 35 gives the names of principal Naga chiefs which includes Bilva in verse (I.31.12).[SUP][8][/SUP]

History

V. S. Agrawala[SUP][1][/SUP] mentions Vishayas known to Panini which includes - Saikayata (सैकयत), under Bhauriki Gana (IV.2.54).

Sandhya Jain[SUP][2][/SUP] writes that Seka/Aparaseka were defeated by Sahdeva [SUP][3][/SUP] in the south; possibly from the region between the Chambal and Narmada rivers.

We find mention of a Sekwal gotra lady in the history of Burdaks as wife of Rao Burdakdeo, the originator of Burdak Gotra.

In Mahabharata

Seka is mentioned in Mahabharata (II.28.?)
Sabha Parva, Mahabharata/Book II Chapter 28 mentions a province named Seka (सेक) which was conquered by Sahadeva in his victories of southern provinces. He also conquered adjoining Aparaseka (अपरसेक) province. [SUP][4][/SUP] [SUP][5][/SUP]
<dl><dd>"The mighty warrior then vanquished the Sekas and others, and exacted tributes from them and also various kinds of gems and wealth. Allying himself with the vanquished tribes the prince then marched towards the countries that lay on the banks of the Narmada. And defeating there in battle the two heroic kings of Avanti, called Vinda and Anuvinda,...."[SUP][6]

[/SUP]
</dd></dl> From the above description in Sabha Parva it appears that the province of Sekas mentioned here appears to be between Chambal and Narmada Rivers.

Some historians[SUP][7][/SUP] consider them to be located in Ajmer-Merwara region who owned silver mines and capital at Jahajpur. There is a need to research this region Seka. These Seka people probably gave names to Sikar.

Gotrachara:


Shiv Singh was ruler of Kot Malot (Muktsar) (Punjab). He was attacked by Yavanas in 959 AD and lost his kingdom. He along with 12 sons moved from Kot Malot (Malout) (Muktsar) (Punjab) to Sidhmukh in Rajasthan. Shiv Singh's sons gave name to 12 Jat Gotras as under:
<dl><dd>1. Khemraj → Khichar, who founded Kanwarpura Bhadra (Bhadra, Hanumangarh)</dd><dd>2. Barasi → Babal, who founded Barasari (Jamal Sirsa) </dd><dd>3. Manaji → Manjhu, Sihol, Loonka</dd><dd>4. Karmaji → Karir</dd><dd>5. Karnaji →Kularia </dd><dd>6. Jagguji → Jhaggal </dd><dd>7. Durjanji → Durajana</dd><dd>8. Bhinwaji → Bhanwaria</dd><dd>9. Narayanji → Niradhana </dd><dd>10. Malaji → Mechu


</dd></dl> Migration to south - After Shiv Singh lost his kingdom Kot Malot (Malout) (Muktsar) (Punjab) he came to Sidhmukh in Rajasthan. Descendants of his eldest son Khemraj were called Khichar. Khemraj's eldest son was Kanwar Singh who founded Kanwarpura (Bhadra, Hanumangarh) which still exists. After about 10-12 generations they had to again leave Kanwarpura due to continuous famines and moved to Bajawa village in Jhunjhunu. Mule Singh Bugalia was Chaudhari of Bajawa under Nawab of Jhunjhunu, who gave patta of Bajawa village to Khichar descendants Singhal and Bijal. Singhal married here with Deoo, daughter of Ch. Mule Singh Bugalia.
Singhal Khichar had son Mala Ram from his first wife, who founded Mainas village and his descendants were called Mengrasi Khichar. From his second wife he had son Mahidhar, who founded Sithal village and his descendants were called Mahla. Singhal Khichar had son Dhola Ram from his third wife Deoo Bugalia, who founded Dholas village and his descendants were called Dholarsi Khichar.

Khichars also founded villages Kumas Jatan (Sikar), inhabited about 5000 Khichar families; Bahia (Sirsa), inhabited about 400 Khichar families. Village Bachharara (Ratangarh, Churu) was founded after about 15 generations of Mala Ram. Bachharara has a sacred site of Sati Netu and Kesar. Netu Dhetarwal from Jaleu Ratangarh, wife of Mota Ram Khichar of Bachharara became Sati in 1761 AD on Falgun Sudi Teej.

Kesar Sakti Dadi was of Punia Gotra and wife of Narayan Ram Khichar. She became Sati on Kartik Sudi Teej Vikram Samvat 1747 (=1680 AD)
