The Origin of Clan (Gotra)
Opinion 1)
Khadagrai a writer during emperor Shahjahan reifndescribed that Tomar caste is best
among Kshatriyas and they belong to Som Kul and are descendants of Pandavas.
Actually Tomar , Tanwar , Tung ,Tunwar is one and same Gotra among Rajputs
and Jats
Opinion 2)
Another poet of 17th Century AD Kayam Khani has described Kshatriya in the
following lines:
“ Chaun 1st , Tanwar are the second and Panwar is third and other Kuls are in half .
Ther is total three and half of Kshatriya.”
Opinion 3)
According to puranic legend Dabas are the sons of Maharishi Dadhichi the great king
of Sindh in Vedic period .He has four sons namely Dahiya, Davyas (DABAS) Kundu and Hooda .
Dadhichi an emperor turned Maharishi died at the age of 100 years while fighting to
Non-Aryans tribes. In the battle his four sons fought with utmost bravery and anihiliated
the non-Aryan.
The epic makers goes on to prove that the families of Dahiya , Dabas , Kundu and Hooda
lived together upto the times of Mahabharat in the shape of groups like
Soor, Saini, Birshani and Bhoj. They lived in Ujjain , Avantika, Sambal , Inderprastha,
Rajasthan and other Northern India parts upto 7th Century AD.
so i think its still not b clear dat Which Gotra is the Biggest among Jat.
with regards.

Biggest I don't know...
But...Smallest I know...
"NADARYA":)
aaj tak koi nahi mila is surname ke saath...
...because I read it in a Book ......& as in my Certificates my name is only "RAHUL" ...without any surname... so I chose the correct form of the gotra...wherever I need to put surname by compulsion I wrtie it Rahul Nadarya...
Otherwise to humaare yaha sabhi log Chaudhary & Singh hi lagaate hai as Surname...
sorry to drift you away.....
.....I think Biggest Gotra may be
one out of following
Malik, Tomar, Rathi, Balyan
......i think

Sanjeev jii historians differ in tracing their origin and their parent stock in India but these four clans Dahiya, Davyas (DABAS) Kundu and Hooda according to Herodotous, Jats and their Janapad (Khap) and Gana continued their old customs and appointed family ganealoist to perpetuate their history of family and the race form Mythic genealogy. So might b they all gotras are biggest among jat.

I think, the biggest Gotra is Malik/ Gathwala.
Some of you have written Hooda and that is bit strange to me.Any idea about Hooda villages in Rajasthan and UP. I believe, there aren't more than two dozen villages of Hoodas in haryana.
Mukesh, you said," Dhaka is the bigget Gotra in Rajasthan". How about Punia/ Poonia/ panu?
There are about 92-93 village of Deshwal/ Deswal Gotra , almost equally distributed in Haryana, UP and Rajasthan

Godara is the biggest Jat gotra ( my guess )
Rajasthan : more than 500 villeges ( maybe upto 1000 villeges )
Haryana : approx 100 villeges in Sirsa, Fatehabad and Hisar distt only ..didn't considered rest of Haryana.
Punjab : approx 50 villeges in Abohar, Fazilka area only
Don't know exactly about Delhi, UP and other States.

This subject was discussed in 2006. Read this thread : biggest Jat gotra (http://www.jatland.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15512&highlight=Malik+gotra)
Without reliable statistics, it is difficult to say which gotra is ‘biggest’, though a few large gotras can be discussed. In the above thread, most of the members agreed that ‘Malik’ is perhaps the biggest (i.e. widespread) gotra.
For your general knowledge and humor, the following thread by Dev Dahiya is quite interesting:

Tomar : They ruled ancient Delhi but nowdays mostly contented to western UP only. Maybe 200 villeges at most .
Malik : They are spread all over Haryana except the western region of Haryana.
Dahiya : Same as above but Maliks are better spread over.
Hooda : Rohtak maybe the area only where they dominent in Jat population. They hardly found outside that area.
Deswal : Mostly found in western UP ( in bulk ) ... honestly i don't consider them a biggest gotra in Jats.
Sangwan is the only gotra which can give some attention to get compared with Godara and Beniwal, Sihag etc .....
Friends ....... please just try to come out of Haryana as population of Jats in Rajasthan is much more than Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, UP combined ( 300 squares miles almost 10 Haryana ...... triangle between Barmer, Bharatpur and Ganganagar ........)
I bet that there are more than 1500 villeges of Godara's and more than 700 villeges of Beniwal's.

Hooda for sure is not a big Gotra. I think it will fall among smaller Gotras. I doubt if Hoodas have even more than 8-10 villages all over India. However, Hoodas dominate like no one else...LOL...and no one knows better than me..

I am not sure Vijay, but the figure of 1500 villages looks an exaggeration. Maybe the figure is correct but the population of those villages may be thin.
Unlike Dahiya gotra which is concentrated within a big khap in Sonepat district, Deswals are one of the widespread ones - some villages each in Jind, Panipat, Jhajjar and Rohtak in Haryana and in Bulandshahr/ Meerut/ Muzaffarnagar districts of UP and some villages in distt. Bharatpur (Rajasthan). Still, I do not think it is 'biggest' in number. As I wrote above, Maliks are more widespread and one of the biggest. Deswals also have a tradition of maintaining "Bhaichara" with Dalal, Suhag and Maan gotras.

I said that i didn't included Jatt Sikhs. If we include Jatt Sikhs than Sangwan can't be compared with Gill gotra.
Jatt Sikh have four major over spread gotra's i.e. Sidhu, Mann, Brar and Gill and can overlap any Hindi Jat gotra (in population ) except a few like Godara, Beniwal, Punia, Malik.
Last correction Sindhu and Sidhu are different and both Jat Sikhs and Hindu Jats are Jats.
Yes Bhai, i know Sindhu and sidhu are totally different ( originally were JAT only ). :)
I also know that Sidhu gotra is most populated amongst Sikhs and you will wonder that Sidhu gotra have sub gotra too. One of my friend ( Sidhu ) got married to a Sidhu girl ..... surprizingly i asked .... what's the matter ...... and then i come to know the fact that Sidhu's have sub gotra's too. Her bride was Sidhu ( Brar ):) and he himself was Sidhu ( Sidhu ). But both were Sidhu.

Burdak Ji,
I don't know what type of serach you did on google but i really doubts these statistics if they are all about Jat population only.
Most of the Rajputs/Muslims use Rana before their name.
I see more Punjabi Maliks rather than Jat Maliks apart from Muslim Maliks.
Where are the decedents of that 700 villeges Godara Empire ( few centuries ago ) .....
as i told earlier that in only Sirsa-Hisar region there exists more than 100 villeges nowdays ( i considered only villeges where more than 50% of Godara Jat population ......... total population of villege around 2000-3000 ) ........ enough material to calculate in suppose ....
And in Rajasthan, the triangle between Barmer, Bharatpur and Sri Ganganagr ( more than 300 square miles ) ....... You can find Godara in any region .........
I think i mentioned about punjab also .... earlier
I wonder if people tell me the name of a single villege in Rajasthan where Maliks have a population more than 100 people .... forget about domination in the population even in that villege itself.
Total population of Jats in Rajasthan is much more than the Jats rersiding in rest of India.

Hi Vijay,
Google search is not reliable. It searches the word and not Jat gotra.
Regarding Char, they are more commonly Chahar.
There is no way out to find the population by Gotras when we do not have exact population of Jats.
Number of villages in a Khap may be one indicator.

Dear all,
The traces of Jat history can be found well in the prehistoric age. I was told the other day that Turkish scholars have proved to the fact that Lord Shiva was a Jat ( I personally am not of the same school of thought! ) Yet! if someone can go till that extent in tracing our history and origin, why do we find pleasure in searching naive things like quantity of a specific jat Gotra? A Gotra relates directly to the original seven or eight Rishis of the Vedas. In this sense, Lord Rama did not have a Gotra, and in rituals his Gotra would be the Gotra of his Brahmin priest.
Now, do we have to look for our lineage according to the Brahmin priests? If so, I can with plausible certainty say that any Gotra will not have precedence over any other and all will come from the same Rishi of the Vedas! As they identified only 8 of them, and one of them might have been for the Khatriyas. And we being from the same blood, have all the same characteristics, Yet! if it plays a role, it does only in following certain rituals at the time of birth, wedding and death! All else is the same.
If we are planning to look into the might of a particular Gotra probably we are wrong, and if we want to acclaim having the largest traditional lineage in jats via a Gotra, we again are wrong, because today people choose to be independent thinkers and do not really go by the ancient practices at the time of birth or death, law of convenience has taken iots course on the modern day society of jats as well!
The largest Gotra should be the Jat Gotra of Humans.... All else is a baseless fallacy which binds us to our family and not with the community, for the community to be in a condominium, we need to come up with the thought that all are one!
I met a great scholar of history the other day who knew better than me about the western UP lineage of Deswal gotra! Now, how does that matter to me how many villages do Deswals/Deshwals live in.. They live in peace is what is important along with other Gotras of the same MahaGotra!!!
This is a very petite and naive thing to brain storm about is what I feel!
Cheers!!

All mythological and historical facts prove this that Jats descended from Shiva. Turkish study may be valuable for us.

True
Jat clan is a myth .
We have a particular clan as we have tradition of going by father clan where both father and mother contribute equally .
Suppose we have maternal clan lineage than our got would have been totally different than what we identify with today .
So what matters is Jat gene pool .
On a lighter tone, there is a reason to go by father identity...
As Indian maternal DNA is fairly uniform irespective of different groups ,so at the end it is father who makes the real difference .:)
Now ,Where did you read that all Jat clans came from Eight rishi gotrs?Fact is Indian soils know Jats earlier than Vedas and its rishis
Lastly It is a simple awareness about different clan numbers not might of this or that clan ,what is harm in knowing that ?Take it in postive way .

Well, i don't know how Turkish scholar proved that Lord Shiva were a jat but i doubt that prersent day's castism theory was in practice in that mythical time period ( and ofcourse only if they proved to exist ).
And if Lord Rama did not had a gotra than certainly Lord Shiva is beyond this scope of gotra 'thing'.
If we are planning to look into the might of a particular Gotra probably we are wrong, and if we want to acclaim having the largest traditional lineage in jats via a Gotra, we again are wrong, because today people choose to be independent thinkers and do not really go by the ancient practices at the time of birth or death, law of convenience has taken iots course on the modern day society of jats as well!
I suppose that here we are talking about the present day statistics ( of course only about quantity/population in an absolute meaning ) which doesn't have any connenction with might or likewise thinking as a whole.
The largest Gotra should be the Jat Gotra of Humans.... All else is a baseless fallacy which binds us to our family and not with the community, for the community to be in a condominium, we need to come up with the thought that all are one!
Let me ammend : The largest Gotra should be the Gotra of Humans ( inclusive or exclusive of the Jat word )
I met a great scholar of history the other day who knew better than me about the western UP lineage of Deswal gotra! Now, how does that matter to me how many villages do Deswals/Deshwals live in.. They live in peace is what is important along with other Gotras of the same MahaGotra!!!
I don't think that it matters to anybody that in what quantity their own gotra people ( except for the sake of statistics only ) exist in this World.
I still didn't get it that What you want to convey here except some philosophical preaching attitude only ?
We are just discussing about some statistics about Jat population and its distribution ONLY :)

Hey Jit,
There are more than 20 villages of Deshwal/ Deswal Gotra in UP. I can give the name of the villages but wait a week or two and I can provide you the list.
It is believed that origin of Deswal/ Deshwal Gotra is Village Ladhaut, Disst. Rohtak which is coincidently happened to be my village.
Most likely migration route to UP is:Ladhaut > Baliana near Rohtak > Dhulehda near Bahadurgarh > Ghodi near Palwal and from their to some villages near Samli in UP
OR may be from one of small villages near Panipat that have links to a very big Village Gangauli between Panipat and Jind
It is fact that representative from more than 90 villages have met in the past on a number of occasions.
Hey Vijay, if I am not mistaken, manay villages or may be majority of villages of Godara Gotra near in Haryana are Bisnoi. I may be wrong
Cheers!

I don't think you have to reply someone who even don't have a first hand knowledge about the subject but just want to neutralize someone's post using some alphabets without any knowledge.

Hi Satepal Deshwalji,
Good info about Deshwal Gotra. Will you add this to article on Jatland Wiki?
As regards the views of other members, We here are interacting with various jats here and searching the history of various clans. It is not going to harm any body. It is a science. Take it that way. History of a clan is important and every member should know its true history. Jatland proves to be good platform.
Regards,

It seems to be Dhillon. They are in the Punjab, Haryana.
Also, I have put up Videos in Punjabi on Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity and Real Islam.
Hi Brother in Christ Jesus,
I have put up on Youtube over two hundred 10 minutes Videos on the exposition of Parables of New Testament and the Gnostic Gospel of St.Thomas in full. My expositions are original in spirit that is mostly unknown to the people of the West. My challenge may seem very odd to most of you but just listen to them for the curiosity’s sake.
I can explain the Parables in details in Lectures and the whole New Testament, I can explain in a couple of weeks.
Any body interested in producing Documentaries, I can vet the scripts or produce suitable ones for FREE. Search my videos under nijjhar Christianity Sikhism or link is under my signatures.
I shall be producing similar videos in Punjabi, the language in which the Second anointed Christ Nanak Dev Ji preached Sikhism or Real Islam. Remember that a Gurmukh is a Mussallman of the type of Bhagat Kabir Ji, Pir Mian Mir Ji, etc but not these Mohammedans who proclaim themselves Mussallmans. They are mostly Kafirs.
Chaudhry Rajinder Nijjhar, M.Sc.
Retired Senior Lecturer in Metallurgy.
The Second Panth Sikh and the Fourth Panth of Nimallae Sants is the continuation of Christianity.
Third Khalsa Panth was to use sword power to sort out the stubborn sons of Satan.
Gnostics are "seekers" of religious knowledge and we take no one for his word.
We believe each individual receives "His Word" through "grace of God".
Our Discussions are open minded and friendly.
Meetings are open to all and they are "FREE".
Christ (Saint) Thomas states,
"Why should I fast, what sin have I committed and
Why should I pray, what wrong have I done".

I am not sure Vijay, but the figure of 1500 villages looks an exaggeration. Maybe the figure is correct but the population of those villages may be thin.
Unlike Dahiya gotra which is concentrated within a big khap in Sonepat district, Deswals are one of the widespread ones - some villages each in Jind, Panipat, Jhajjar and Rohtak in Haryana and in Bulandshahr/ Meerut/ Muzaffarnagar districts of UP and some villages in distt. Bharatpur (Rajasthan). Still, I do not think it is 'biggest' in number. As I wrote above, Maliks are more widespread and one of the biggest. Deswals also have a tradition of maintaining "Bhaichara" with Dalal, Suhag and Maan gotras.

raja Man singh erstwhile ruler of jaipur married 36 afghan prioncesses why is n't there a film about that historical fact.
what would you say of jat rulers who take pride in telling the world that their daughters are married into rajput royalty.

its not the density of the population..its the power with the people in that area which matters most...and the jats of rohtak have something special.......try your best but still you cant change this reality that ROHTAK is the heart of jatland........
