    Distribution of Jats

    Jat Gotras in Jaipur City

    Jaipur is the Capital of Rajasthan. The Jaipur region is important Jat belt. We do not have any combined report which can give details about the distribution of Jat gotras in Jaipur region.

    I thought to study the distribution pattern of Jat gotras in the Jaipur district. There are no ready records or studies as such. So I took the membership list of Jat Samaj Samiti, Jaipur Published under the title Jat Directory and Smarika 1999-2000. It gives areawise detailed names, addresses, phone numbers of Jat families living in Jaipur city.

    The two attributes Jat gotra and colony were brought on excel file, tabulated and shorted out. There is an interesting result which gives which jat gotra lives in which colony. This table is available with me and if any member is interested it can be uploaded. The following table is an abstract of the detailed table that gives population of each gotra as a number out of total jats (3920) in the directory arranged in alphabetical order.


    The Jat Directory gives details of 3920 Jat families. There are large number of people who use Chaudhary, Arya or Jat as surnames. Some people use no surname. Out of this list 812 Jats had used Chaudhary as surname. 1218 Jat family heads had Arya or Jat as surname or no surname. Many people around Jaipur use Jat surname. Out of these people 1890 Jat family heads with gotra as surnames were selected and tabulated. These 1890 people are from 356 gotras. The figure after gotra is the count out of 1890 from which we can roughly assess comparative population of that gotra. Here is the list:

    Abusaria, 2 Achra, 1 Ahlawat, 4 Ameria, 1 Anana, 1 Andari, 1 Angyara, 1 Atri, 3 Babal, 1 Badsar, 1 Bag, 4 Bagar, 1 Bagaria, 9 Bainda, 3 Bajdolia, 2 Bajiya, 14 Balian, 1 Baliya, 2 Balwada, 3 Bana, 8 Bangadwa, 3 Barala, 6 Barol, 1 Bauhra, 1 Beniwal, 23 Bhadu, 3 Bhagasra, 2 Bhagod, 8 Bhakar, 26 Bhal, 1 Bhalotia, 4 Bhamu, 10 Bhan, 1 Bhanwaria, 3 Bharangar, 1 Bhataiya, 1 Bhauhar, 2 Bhinchar, 7 Bhukar, 3 Bijarni, 10 Bikara, 1 Birk, 1 Bissu, 1 Boori, 9 Budajia, 2 Budania, 4 Bugalia, 3 Burania, 1 Burdak, 19 Chahar, 20 Chalawaria, 1 Chandelya, 7 Chandiwal, 1 Chauhan, 4 Chaupda, 39 Chhaba, 1 Chhangar, 1 Chhaparia, 1 Chhilar, 1 Chholet, 2 Chhonkar, 1 Chirewale, 3 Chitan, 1 Choyal, 1 Dabas, 2 Dadarwal, 8 Daga, 1 Dagar, 21 Dahiya, 4 Dairwal, 1 Dalal, 2 Dangi, 7 Dangiwa, 1 Dara, 1 Dayaria, 1 Deg, 1 Degra, 3 Dengri, 1 Deshwal 1 Devanda, 15 Dhaka, 64 Dhamora, 1 Dhankar, 19 Dhariwal, 1 Dhaulya, 2 Dhayal, 22 Dhewa, 1 Dhidhwa, 1 Dhillon, 4 Dhindhwa, 3 Dhua, 2 Didel, 2 Dilhan, 1 Diwach, 1 Dodarwa, 1 Dodwadia, 8 Dohan, 3 Dookya, 14 Doot, 11 Dudhwal, 2 Dudi, 36 Dular, 7 Fagaria, 9 Fardolya, 1 Faujdar, 2 Fidauda, 3 Gadhala, 1 Gahlot, 1 Gainan, 1 Gajraj, 6 Gared, 1 Garhwal, 15 Garwa, 2 Gathala, 6 Gawadia, 2 Get, 7 Ghosalia, 23 Gil, 5 Godara, 71 Golya, 1 Grewal, 1 Gulia, 2 Gwala, 1 Harathwal, 8 Hirawat, 1 Hooda, 8 Inania, 2 Indolia, 3 Jagla, 1 Jakhar, 42 Jangoo,1 Janoo, 9 Jaswal, 14 Jatrana, 1 Jhajharia, 24 Jhajhla, 1 Jhajhra, 1 Jhijhwaria, 1 Jhojhar, 1 Jhuria, 3 Jijwaria, 3 Jitarwal, 9 Jodia, 1 Jotar, 3 Juhar, 1 Junawa, 1 Jyani, 4 Kadian, 1 Kadwa, 6 Kajla, 4 Kakran, 1 Kala, 1 Kalawat, 1 Kaler, 2 Kansujiya, 1 Kapuria, 2 Karwasra, 3 Kasania, 2 Kaswan, 8 Kataria, 15 Katewa, 31 Kauntey, 3 Khadanla, 1 Khakal, 1 Khalia, 2 Khangal, 1 Khanothia, 1 Kharbas, 7 Kharinta, 2 Kharra, 4 Khatkar, 5 Khatri, 1 Khedar, 5 Khichar, 11 Khirwal, 1 Khokhar, 7 Khuntel, 1 Kodia, 1 Kok, 2 Kolar, 1 Koont, 1 Koth, 1 Kothari, 8 Krishnia, 10 Kudi, 1 Kulhar, 2 Kulhari, 18 Kundarwal, 4 Kundu, 2 Kuntal, 10 Kuralya, 3 Kuri, 6 Kurwa, 1 Lainga, 1 Lamba, 27 Lamrod, 1 Lathar, 3 Lepswal, 1 Locham, 2 Lohmarod, 1 Lomrod, 1 Lora, 4 Lotasra, 1 Loyal, 1 Luhach, 1 Lunayach, 6 Maan, 20 Machra, 1 Machwa, 1 Maderna, 2 Madhur, 1 Mahawal, 2 Mahia, 1 Mahla, 27 Mahlawat, 6 Mahua, 1 Mahure, 1 Makad, 1 Malan, 2 Malhan, 2 Malik, 8 Mamawa, 1 Mand, 1 Manda, 3 Mandia, 5 Mandiwal, 1 Mandolia, 5 Mangawa, 1 Marwada, 3 Mechu, 2 Meel, 28 Mehra, 2 Mehria, 1 Mehta, 1 Mehto, 1 Meway, 1 Mirdha, 11 Mitharwar, 1 Moga, 4 Mohra, 1 Moond, 5 Mudalia, 1 Muhal, 2 Mukul, 1 Mund, 1 Mundel, 1 Nadal, 1 Naij, 1 Nain, 2 Nasir, 3 Natwadia, 5 Nehra, 16 Nitharwal, 23 Nohwar, 2 Nund, 1 Nyol, 2 Ogra, 1 Ola, 19 Pabana, 1 Pachar, 3 Palawat, 1 Palsania, 3 Pandu, 3 Panwa, 8 Paraswal, 8 Parihar, 2 Pathaina, 1 Payal, 11 Pilania, 8 Piploda, 1 Pual, 2 Punia, 123 Purnawa, 1 Raghuvanshi, 1 Rahad, 3 Rai, 1 Rajauria, 2 Rana, 3 Ranwa, 5 Rao, 5 Rara, 1 Rathi, 9 Rator, 1 Rautwal, 1 Rawat, 7 Rayal, 2 Repswal, 5 Rewad, 11 Riyad, 1 Rohela, 6 Rohit, 1 Roj, 1 Rolan, 1 Rolania, 22 Rudla, 4 Sahu, 9 Samota, 24 Sangwa, 1 Sangwan, 5 Sanwal, 3 Saran, 24 Sarawat, 6 Sau, 1 Saumra, 1 Sekhu, 1 Sepat, 5 Sewda, 2 Sheoran, 6 Sheshma, 2 Shoora, 1 Shukran, 4 Siddhu, 1 Sigar, 7 Sihag, 4 Sikarwar, 3 Silk, 1 Sindhu, 1 Singal, 2 Singhania, 1 Singwal, 1 Sinsinwar, 11 Sipalwal, 1 Sirohi, 17 Siyag, 1 Sodh, 1 Sogaria, 1 Sohalak, 1 Solanki, 12 Somra, 1 Soora, 3 Sulot, 1 Sunda, 7 Sunwala, 1 Sutalia, 1 Sutlana, 1 Takhar, 2 Talwada, 1 Tandi, 1 Tangar, 1 Tanwar, 1 Tarad, 1 Tetarwal, 2 Thakan, 5 Thakran, 1 Thakurele, 3 Thalor, 1 Thebar, 1 Thenua, 1 Tholia, 4 Thori, 4 Titarwal, 3 Todawat, 25 Tokas, 1 Tomar, 13 Vichach, 1 Virk, 1
    Total Gotras 356 and counts......1890

    Conclusions

    1. The above analysis reveals that the biggest five gotra in Jaipur are Punia (123), followed by Godara (71), Dhaka (64), Jakhar (42) and Chaupda (39).

    2. The gotras equal or more than 1 percent of Jat population in Jaipur city include following 27 gotras given in increasing order:Kulhari (18), Burdak (19), Dhankar (19) Ola (19), Chahar (20), Maan (20), Dagar (21), Dhayal (22), Rolania (22), Beniwal (23), Ghosalia (23), Nitharwal (23), Jhajharia (24), Samota (24), Saran (24), Todawat (25), Bhakar (26), Lamba (27), Mahla (27), Meel (28), Katewa (31), Dudi (36), Chaupda (39), Jakhar (42), Dhaka (6), Godara (71), Punia (123).

    3. The activities in which these people are involved was also recorded in their format which finds mention in the Directory. Majority of the people are in service and have their own house in Jaipur. Other activities are business, shops, contractorship, property dealership, agriculture, dairy, politics, paultry farming etc.

    4. Number of Gotras with single entry is 159. These people seem to have started coming to Jaipur late, hence less number.

    5. Jats started coming to Jaipur for settlement from early eighties, the maximum influx being in nineties.

    This is a nice and honest analysis. Some of us may have some information about other small cities where Jats are inhibited - and we should contribute here. Today, the pattern of cities is undergoing a rapid change, with large influx of people of all communities making their permanent homes in big town and cities. Such an information, at least on some major cities, would be of immense use to all of us.

    Distribution of Jat gotras in Sangariya

    Sangariya or Sangaria (संगरिया) is a city in Hanumangarh district in Rajasthan, India. It is situated near the northern border of Rajasthan adjoining Haryana and Punjab states. It is located at Latitude:29-48'N and Longitude:74-30'E. As of 2001 census the population of Sangariya is 34,537. Deengarh is a small village located nearer to Sangaria (10 KM). This is the village of Karwasra's who poineered the Transport business in area in around 1952 AD.

    History

    Before the year 1900, there was a battalion of then princely state of Bikaner to protect the north eastern boundary at the place of present Sangariya town, which was known as ‘sangar’, which gave name to this town. In 1901-02 the Bikaner state railway line was extended from Hanumangarh to Bhatinda. At that time there was no population at this place so this railway station was called ‘Chautala Road’ in the name of village Chautala situated in Punjab (now Haryana) situated at a distance of 6 km from here. From that time onward there started inhabitation of people which has now developed in to the Sangariya town. State Government sanctioned an agricultural mandi here during early twentieth century. The area was barren and there was no availability of drinking water. The water was transported by railways from Hanumangarh town and then supplied to each house.

    Gramothan Vidya Peeth

    On 9 August 1917 a retired subedar Chaudhary Bahadur Singh Bhobia of village Bidangkhera started ‘Jat Anglo Indian School’ with the purpose of spreading education in rural areas. Swami Keshwanand was made director of Jat School Sangaria in 1932 that was just to close for want of funds. He went from village to village and to the Seths of desert region who were in Calcutta and far off places and collected funds. He became instrumental in starting hundreds of schools in the desert region. The Jat School Sangaria was renamed as Gramothan Vidyapith, Sangaria in 1948. Swami Keshwanand was connected with Gramothan Vidyapith, Sangaria (Rajasthan) (1932-1952). He developed here a beautiful museum with collection of rare documents, ancient items, paintings etc. brought from various places. Large-scale plantations were done in this arid area with the help of people and students of the Institute. Gramothan Vidyapith, Sangaria had become center of inspiration for educationists from India and abroad.

    Analysis of Jat gotras in Sangariya

    We do not have any gotra wise figures of Jat population in Rajasthan. We have Jat Samaj Smarika Sangariya 2006 which gives list of Jat members of the samaj in Sangariya. The list includes details of all members of 408 families who are members of Jat Samaj Sangariya. The details include about name and gotra of head of the family with other members and relation with the head of the family. Gotra of each married woman in the family is also given. Other details are age, education, profession and the telephone numbers. The place of origin of the head is also there. The information from Jat Samaj Smarika Sangariya 2006 was reduced to an excel table with gotra, place of origin and the district. We got 1041 entries of gotras of married members. The parental gotra of female members was recorded for the purpose of analysis. In the following table each gotra has got two numbers in the bracket. The first figure indicates number of male members of that gotra out of total 1041 and second figure indicates number of female members of that gotra who came and married to family in Sangariya. The entry with * indicates that there is no family of this gotra in Sangariya but only female members married with members in Sangariya.

    List of Jat gotras

    Thus in Sangariya we get a list of 161 gotras shown in alphabetical order:

    Atri* (0+1) Bajiya (1+1) Bajolia (1+0) Balyan* (0+2) Bamla* (0+1) Bana (1+1) Bangadwa (2+3) Bariyala* (0+1) Barjati* (0+1) Batar (1+0) Beniwal (31+25) Berad (1+2) Berwal (1+0) Bhadia (1+3) Bhadu (6+19) Bhakar (13+13) Bhamu (2+14) Bhari* (0+1) Bhidasra* (0+3) Bhinchar (1+0) Bhobia (4+3) Bhukar* (0+1) Bhunwal* (0+1) Bijarnia* (0+1) Bijlan (1+0) Birda* (0+3) Bissu (1+6) Budania (3+2) Bugalia* (0+1) Butar (1+0) Byamal* (0+1) Chahar (4+9) Chawla* (0+1) Chhirang (2+0) Choyal (3+2) Dangi* (0+1) Deg (1+2) Delu* (0+3) Deshwal (1+0) Dhaka (7+4) Dhakarwal* (0+1) Dharania* (0+1) Dhetarwal* (0+2) Dhinwa* (0+1) Dogiwal (1+0) Dookya* (0+1) Doot (2+0) Dotasara* (0+2) Dovan* (0+1) Dudi (3+10) Dugesar* (0+1) Fageria* (0+1) Fidauda* (0+1) Garhwal (4+5) Ghotia* (0+1) Gill* (0+1) Godara (36+65) Goyat* (0+1) Gulia* (0+2) Hudda (2+0) Jakhar (17+23) Jandu* (0+5) Jangoo (3+2) Janu* (0+1) Jhajhra* (0+1) Jhanjhar* (0+1) Jhajharia (4+6) Jhinjha (2+4) Jhorad (12+14) Jhuria* (0+1) Joon (1+0) Jyani (2+15) Kadian (1+0) Kadwa* (0+1) Kajla (2+0) Kalwania* (0+1) Kansujia (1+0) Kantia (1+0) Karwasra (15+17) Kasania (2+5) Kaswan (8+14) Katewa (1+2) Khadda* (0+3) Khairwa* (0+3) Khaiwal* (0+1) Kharinta* (0+1) Khedar (1+0) Khichar* (0+2) Khileri* (0+2) Khod* (0+1) Khoth (2+1) Kudi* (0+1) Kukana (4+4) Kuladia (4+1) Kuleri* (0+1) Latiyal* (0+1) Legha (1+1) Lochhav* (0+1) Machra* (0+1) Mahla (1+6) Makar (1+3) Mali* (0+1) Malik (3+1) Manda* (0+1) Manju (1+2) Mayla (1+0) Moond (7+8) Mor* (0+1) Motsara (1+2) Nagal* (0+1) Nain (2+12) Nehra (1+1) Niwad* (0+1) Nojal (1+2) Nyol* (0+5) Ojla* (0+1) Olakh* (0+2) Pandar (6+1) Panghal* (0+1) Payal (1+0) Pilania* (0+1) Potalia (20+3) Punia (15+17) Rahd (4+5) Ranwa (2+4) Rao (29+2) Rathi* (0+1) Repswal (1+0) Rewad (2+4) Roj (1+5) Royal* (0+1) Ruhil (1+1) Rulania* (0+1) Sahrawat* (0+1) Sahu (7+11) Saich (4+0) Saikumar* (0+1) Sain* (0+3) Sangwan* (0+2) Saran (45+53) Sarpat* (0+1) Sauntakke* (0+1) Sewda* (0+1) Sheoran (4+7) Siddhu (3+0) Sihag (12+22) Silu* (0+5) Sinsinwar (1+0) Sinwal (7+3) Sirohi* (0+1) Soi* (0+1) Solanki (1+0) Tada* (0+1) Takhar* (0+1) Talan (1+0) Tandi* (0+2) Tarad (5+7) Tetarwal* (0+2) Thori (2+1) Tomar (1+3)

    The biggest Jat gotras

    Following are the biggest Gotras in increasing order.

    * Kaswan (8+14) 22
    * Potalia (20+3) 23
    * Bhadu (6+19) 25
    * Bhakar (13+13) 26
    * Jhorad (12+14) 26
    * Rao (29+2) 31
    * Punia (15+17) 32
    * Karwasra (15+17) 32
    * Kaswan (8+14) 32
    * Sihag (12+22) 34
    * Jakhar (17+23) 40
    * Beniwal (31+25) 56
    * Saran (45+53) 98
    * Godara (36+65) 101

    * Out of 161 gotras in the above list 76 are with * which indicates that being the paternal gotra of married women are not used as surnames. So only remaining 85 are in-fact the gotras inhabited in Sangariya.
    * The two gotras Potalia and Rao are rare in rest of areas and seem to be localized in this area of Sangariya. The number of women from out side marrying males of Sangariya is very less in these two gotras.
    * In rest of the gotras number of women marrying to males in Sangariya is more, which indicates that in the area around Sangariya these gotras are in abundance.
    * The biggest gotras are the same as mentioned by James Tod in annals ruling the country of Jangladesh, as this area was part of Jangladesh prior to fifteenth century.
    * Over many centuries this Jat population seems stable with regular inputs from neighbouring states increasing its clan diversity as is clear from 161 Jat clans present in this area.
