Dear members,
Mr. Burdak is providing us a lot of history on Jats, but let us know a little about the Burdaks:
Burdak is surname of Jat community found in northwest Rajasthan. The surname Burdak, in India, is based on gotra Burdak. The exact origin of Burdak surname is not known.
Jat community had adopted Buddhism during the Mauryan empire (321-184 BC), whose most renowned emperor, Ashoka, Converted to Buddhism in 261 BC. Mauryans were Jats.
The fall of the Gupta Empire, which held dominance in northern India for nearly 300 years until the early 5th Century, was followed by a period of instability as various local chieftains sought to gain supremacy. Power rose and fell in northern India.
The ancestry of kshatriyas can be divided into two main branches: the Suryavansha, or Race of the Sun (Solar Race), which claims direct descent from Rama; and the Induvansha, or Race of the Moon (Lunar race), which claims descent from Krishna, Later in the 6th and 7th centuries a third branch was added, the Agnikula, or 'Fire Born'. These people claim they were manifested from the flames of a sacrificial fire on Mt. Abu in Rajasthan.
The agnikul clans of Rajputs are mentioned by Chand Bardai, the court poet of Prithviraj Chauhan, in his book Prithviraj Raso. According to him, when Parshurama had destroyed the Kshatriyas and there was no one left to protect the Brahmins, they assembled and performed a yajna on Mount Abu.
They kindled the sacred fire and prayed to God to produce a brave class to protect them. In response to their prayers, four great heroes sprang from this sacred fire. These founded the four great Rajput families — Parmaras, Pratiharas, Chalukyas and Chauhans.
Burdak gotra Jats were included in Chauhans.
Chauhans of the Agnikula Race emerged in the 12th century and were renowned for their valour. Their territories included the Sapadalksha kingdom, which encompassed a vast area including present- day Jaipur, Ranthambhore, part of Mewar, the western portion of Bundi district, Ajmer Kishangarh and even, at one time, Delhi. Branches of the Chauhans also ruled territories know as Ananta (in present-day Shekhawati) and Saptasatabhumi.
With the Defeat of Prithiviraj Chouhan in the 2nd Battle of Tarain 1192 C.E. and establishment of Muslim rule in North India in the form of the SLAVE DYNASTY, the first of the Delhi Sultanates, Jats moved to the country-side and started tilling the land.
Burdaks moved out from Delhi with 50 horses. They founded village Sarnau near Jeenmata in Sikar Rajasthan. In village Sarnau there was a war between Burdaks and Dhakas. Burdaks defeated Dhakas. But later on with the help of Badsah Dhakas defeated and killed all Burdaks in Sarnau.One Kharra gotra woman who was married in Burdaks was escaped and she went to her pihar at Gothara village. She was pregnant at that time. She gave birth to a child in nanihal at Gothara village. Burdaks in Rajasthan are descendant of this child.
