Jat Gotras Namesake
- Syam (Jat clan) = Svamiraja (स्वामिराज) (L.1-2). Nagardhan Plates Of Svamiraja - (Kalachuri) Year 322 (=573 AD) were issued from Nandivardhana (नान्दीवार्द्धन) (L.1) by Nannarja (नन्नराज) (L.2) who meditated on the feet of his brother Svamiraja (स्वामिराज) (L.1-2) , during whose reign the grant was made. The unnamed suzerain of Svâmirâja was probably the Kalachuri Krishnaraja (circa 550-575 AC) (Krishna=Shyam). [7] Nagardhan (नगरधन) is town in Ramtek tahsil in Nagpur district of Maharashtra. It was earlier known as Nandivardhana (नन्दिवर्द्धन), which was well-known as an ancient capital of the Vakatakas.
History
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. [8] [9]
Hukum Singh Panwar[10] 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),[11]
