Sategrah

From Jatland Wiki

Sategrah (सतेग्राह)[1] [2]or Sategarh (सतेगढ)[3][4] is Jat Gotra found in Amritsar. [5],[6]

Origin

  • Sattagydia is mentioned for the first time in the Behistun inscription of Darius the Great (Line-21) as one of the provinces in revolt while the king was in Babylon. The revolt was presumably suppressed in 515 BCE. The satrapy disappears from sources after 480 BCE, possible being mentioned by another name or included with other regions.[7]

History

Bhim Singh Dahiya[8] has listed this clan on s.n. (46) Sategrah (Rose Vol. III, p. 388, Amritsar).

Bhim Singh Dahiya [9] provides us the following information:

(24) Sategrah: This clan is to be identified, for the first time, with the people called Sattygraoi in the Persian Inscriptions and by Greek writers. So far the clan of these people is a puzzle for the historians.
