Burdak

From Jatland Wiki

Burdak (बुरडक) Burdok (बुरडोक) or Bardak (बरडक) or Bordak (बोरडक) or Burrak (बुर्रक) or Buldak (बुल्डक) or Wardak (वरडक) or Vardak (वरडक) is surname of Jat community found in northwest Rajasthan. The surname Burdak, in India, is based on gotra Burdak. The origin of Burdak surname seems to be of Iranian. Some authors consider Burdaks to be descendants of Maharaja Vauka (वाउक). ^[1] They write Burdok in the north-east region of India.

History

Map of Sakastan around 100 BCE showing Barda

Mahabharata Aswamedha Parva mentions about a peak named Munjaban on the summits of the Himalaya mountains, where the adorable Lord of Uma (Mahadeva) is constantly engaged in austere devotional exercises. On all sides of that mountain, there exist mines of gold, resplendent as the rays of the sun. And O king, the attendants of Kuvera, desirous of doing good to him, protect these mines of gold from intruders, with uplifted arms. Hie thee thither, and appease that adorable god who is known by the names which include Burdak as under in shloka 25 of Aswamedha Parva in Sanskrit:

पिनाकिनं महादेवं महायॊगिनम अव्ययम

तरिशूलपाणिं वरदं तयम्बकं भुवनेश्वरम ।। 25 ।।

pinākinaṃ mahādevaṃ mahāyoginam avyayam

triśūlapāṇiṃ varadaṃ tyambakaṃ bhuvaneśvaram ।। 25 ।।

Mahabharata Shalya Parva mentions names of combatants armed with diverse weapons and clad in diverse kinds of robes and ornaments, All of them came to the ceremony for investing Kartikeya with the status of generalissimo. Shalya Parva in Sanskrit mentions in shloka 59 Burdak along with Kalingas as under:

Sanskrit

पुत्र मेषः परवाहश च तदा नन्दॊपनन्दकौ

धूम्रः शवेतः कलिङ्गश च सिद्धार्दॊ वरदस तदा ।। 59 ।।

Parthian Stations by Isidore of Charax, is an account of the overland trade route between the Levant and India, in the 1st century BCE, The Greek text with a translation and commentary by Wilfred H. Schoff. Transcribed from the Original London Edition, 1914. This record mentions about city named Barda. Burdaks are probably originated from city called Barda, the place is the royal residence of the Sakas in Sistan. The presence of the Sakas in Sakastan in the 1st century BCE is mentioned by Isidore of Charax in his "Parthian stations". He explained that they were bordered at that time by Greek cities to the east (Alexandria of the Caucasus and Alexandria of the Arachosians), and the Parthian-controlled territory of Arachosia to the south:

"Beyond is Sacastana of the Scythian Sacae, which is also Paraetacena, 63 schoeni. There are the city of Barda and the city of Min and the city of Palacenti and the city of Sigal (Cf. Nimrus of the Rustam story in the Shah Nama); in that place is the royal residence of the Sacae; and nearby is the city of Alexandria (and nearby is the city of Alexandropolis), and six villages." Parthian stations, 18.^[2]

Beyond is Arachosia, 36 schoeni. And the Parthians call this White India; there are the city of Biyt and the city of Pharsana and the city of Chorochoad and the city of Demetrias; then Alexandropolis, the metropolis of Arachosia; it is Greek, and by it flows the river Arachotus. As far as this place the land is under the rule of the Parthians." Parthian stations, 19.^[3]

Again we find mention of them in the form Wardak وردګ (Pashtoپښتو‎/ wardak vardag vardak, Hindi:(वरडक)) which is one of the thirty-four provinces of Afghanistan. It is in the centre of the country. Its capital is Meydan Shahr. Chaki Wardak (also known as Chak) is a district in the south of Wardak Province, Afghanistan.The records of Kushan ruler Havishka have been unearthed at Wardak, to the west of Kabul.^[4] Bhim Singh Dahiya has mentioned about an inscription of Wardak near Kabul of the year 51 of Saka era (129 AD), which relates the establishment of the relic of Lord Buddha in a stupa by Vagramarega who is shown as a scion of Kama Gulya. Here it is related with clan name Gulya of the Jats. ^[5] Wardak is associated with the history of Burdak Jat clan.

Hathigumpha inscription is at Udayagiri about king Kharavela at Bhubaneswar in Orissa. There is one small inscription in Udayagiri caves about Prince Vaḍukha, which has not yet been interpreted by the historians. Had the historians knowledge about Jat clan Burdak, it would have been easy to interpret it. The inscription details are as under.

III-Manchapuri cave inscription 'B' (Lower storey)' - This inscription has been engraved on the right wall of Veranda, to the right of the entrance to the right-hand side chamber of the main wing, consisting of one line. The text in Devanagari script is as under:

कुमारो वडुखस लेणं (IAST: kumāro vadukhas lenam)

Translation - [This is] the cave of Prince Vaḍukha.

On palaeographic ground Prof Banergy considers this inscription to be a little earlier than the inscription of king Kudepasiri. According to Sadananda Agrawal, Prince Badukha stands an obscure figure in history, but Badukha seems to be the son or brother of Kudepasiri.

Here Badukha is the prakrat form of Barduk or Burdak, where 'r' is missing in inscription. Burdak is again a Jat clan of northwest India.

The Burdak gotra of Jats are probably related with Virudhaka. Virudhaka (विरूढक) (IAST: Virūḍhaka, Pali: Viḍūḍabha) was son of Raja Prasenjit and king of Kashi. Soon after usurping the prosperous kingdom built up by his father Bimbisara, the parricide Ajatashatru went to war with his aged uncle Prasenjit, and gained complete control of Kashi. Just after this Prasenjit, like Bimbisara, was deposed by his son Virudhaka, and died. The new king, Virūḍhaka (in Pali Viḍūḍabha), then attacked and virtually annihilated the little autonomous tribe of Shakyas, in Himalyan foothills, and we hear no more of the people which produced the greatest of Indians, the Buddha. ^[6] Probably Virudhaka, like Ajatashatru of Magadha, had ambitions of empire, and wished to embark on a career of conquest after bringing the outlying peoples, who had paid loose homage to his father, more directly under the control of the centre; but his intentions were unfulfilled, for we hear no more of him except an unreliable legend that he was destroyed by a miracle soon after his massacre of Shakyas. A little later his kingdom was incorporated in Magadha. ^[7] Alexander Cunningham found a sculpture of Virudhaka at Bharhut stupa in Satna district in Madhya Pradesh. ^[8] There is an inscription in a scene at Bharhut which reads as under:

Vadukokatha dohati nadode pavate - This long label inscription shows a curious scene but could not be made out by historians. Infact Vaduko has been used for Burdak in prakrit language.

Jats adopted Buddhism

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 Suryavansh, or Race of the Sun (Solar Race), which claims direct descent from Rama; and the Chandravansh (Induvansa), 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 Agnivansh, or 'Fire Born'. These people claim they were manifested from the flames of a sacrificial fire on Mt.Abu in Rajasthan. Agnivansh kshatriyas were Solanki, Pratihara, Chauhan and Paramara

Burdaks as branch of Chauhans

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. James Tod in his annals has explained the Agnikula theory to be the acceptance of warrior groups coming from Central India into the kshatriyas.

As per the bards of Burdaks, Burdak gotra Jats were included in Chauhans.

Prithviraj Chauhan and after

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 known 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 majority started tilling the land. Some of them established their kingdoms in some parts of India.

Burdaks came to Rajasthan

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 Gothra (Tagalan) village. She was pregnant at that time. She gave birth to a child in nanihal at Gothra (Tagalan) village. Burdaks in Rajasthan are descendant of this sole child. The sole survivor woman was a devotee of god Gusainji. Burdaks consider Gusainji as their kuladevata and pay homage to the deity at place called Junjala near Nagaur city.

ठठावता राजस्थान के बुरड़क गोत्र का इतिहास

श्री लादूराम जी बुरड़क (1918-1996) एवं उनकी पत्नी

लेखक वर्ष 6 मार्च 1996 में राजस्थान के ठठावता गाँव गए. वहां बुरड़क के कुछ परिवार रहते हैं. उनमें सबसे बुजुर्ग श्री लादूराम जी थे. उनसे जब बुरड़क का इतिहास पूछा तो उन्होंने इस प्रकार वर्णन किया. बुरड़क गोत्र का रेकॉर्ड उनके भड़वा श्री भवानी सिंह राव, गाँव-महेशवास, पोस्ट-बिचून,तहसील-फूलेरा,जिला-जयपुर , फोन 01428-264301, के द्वारा रखा जाता है.

बुरड़क का निकास दिल्ली से हुआ है. उस समय वे चौहान थे. संभवतः चौहान राज्य के पतन के बाद दिल्ली से बुरड़क 50 घोड़ों पर सवार होकर सीकर जिले के जीणमाता के पास आकर रुके और सरनाऊ नामक गाँव बसाया. कहते हैं कि वहां सरलो और पालो नामके दो भाई थे. एक ढाका गोत्र की औरत बुरड़कों के यहाँ घड़ा लेकर पानी लेने आ गयी. इस पर ढाका नाराज हो गए और उस औरत को कहा कि तुम तो बुरड़कों के यहीं जाओ. इस बात पर बुरड़क और ढाका जाटों में लड़ाई हुई. बुरड़कों ने अधिकांस ढाकों को ख़त्म कर दिया परन्तु बाद में ढाका जाटों ने बादशाह की मदद से सभी बुरड़कों को खत्म कर दिया. एक खर्रा गोत्र की लड़की बुरड़कों में ब्याही थी. वह उस समय पीहर गयी हुई थी और गर्भवती थी. उसका पीहर गोठड़ा तगालान में था. वह बच गयी. उसके ईस्टदेव गोसाईंजी थे. उसने गोसाईं जी की पूजा की और उनके आशीर्वाद से एक लड़का हुआ. सभी बुरड़क उस लडके से फले फूले हैं. लड़का ननिहाल गोठड़ा तगालान में पैदा हुआ. कहते हैं कि वह बहुत चंचल था और पनिहारिनों के पानी लाते समय मटके फोड़ देता था. तब ताम्बे के मटके बनाए गए. उस लड़के ने लोहे के बाण बनाए और फ़िर मटके फोड़ता था.

एक बार इस लडके के खर्रा मामा ने अपने भाईयों को कहा कि जोहड़ का बंधा टूट रहा है इसको ठीक करें. उसके भाईयों ने कहा कि धन तो बुरड़क भांजे को मिलेगा हम क्या करें. वह खर्रा मामा इस बात पर मर गया. उसका चबूतरा अभी भी गोठड़ा गाँव के जोहड़ के ढावे पर है. वहां एक गोसाईंजी का आदि मन्दिर भी है. गोठड़ा तगालान में 200 बुरड़क परिवार रहते हैं. कुछ बुरड़क परिवार वहां से उठकर मांडेता गाँव चले गए. मांडेता में आथुनी चोक की हवेली है जो बुद्धा की है जहाँ से हम निकले हैं. वहां एक पुराना खेजड़ा का पेड़ अभी भी मोजूद है. बुद्धा का परिवार काफी धनवान था और कहते हैं कि वह हाथी पर तोरण मरवाता था.

बुरड़क वंशावली में एक उदाजी थे. उनके वंश में चिमना राम तथा उनके पुत्र मोहनाराम थे. मोहनाराम का विवाह पिलानिया जाटों में हुआ. उनके दो पुत्र थे. नूनारामजी और खुमाणारामजी. नूनारामजी और खुमानारामजी का जन्म सीकर जिले के मांडेता गाँव में हुआ. रतनगढ़ में वर्तमान में रह रहे बुरड़क नूनारामजी के वंशज हैं तथा ठठावता गाँव मे रह रहे बुरड़क खुमानारामजी के वंसज हैं. खुमाणारामजी का मामा हरुरामजी पिलानिया था वह सुटोट गाँव में रहता था. नूनारामजी और खुमानारामजी मांडेता से आकर मामा हरुरामजी पिलानिया के यहाँ सुटोट गाँव में रहने लगे. दोनों भाईयों का विवाह मामा हरु पिलानिया ने किया. खुमाणारामजी का विवाह खीचड़ जाटों में 'खीचड़ों की ढाणी' में भूरी खीचड़ के साथ हुआ तथा नूनारामजी का विवाह महला जाटों में मैलासी गाँव में हुआ. मामा हरुरामजी पिलानिया के मरने के बाद उसके भाईयों में जमीन का विवाद हुआ तब नूनारामजी और खुमाणारामजी सुटोट से रतनगढ़ आकर बस गए. रतनगढ़ के पश्चिम में 400 बीघा जमीन ली और 'मावलियों का बास' नामक गाँव बसाया. नूनारामजी के चार बेटे हुए मालू, लीछमण, नाराण, और सूरजा. ये सभी रतनगढ़ में ही बस गए.

खुमाणारामजी संवत 1962 में ठठावता गाँव आ गए. खुमाणारामजी के 11 बेटे और एक बेटी लाडो नामकी थी. बेटों के नाम पेमा, भींवा, बोदू, ... आदि थे. नूनारामजी और पेमारामजी रतनगढ़ के ओसवाल बनियों के साथ दिसावर (आसाम) चले गए. संवत 1975 में भयंकर महामारी फ़ैल गयी. नूनारामजी दिसावर में ही ख़त्म हो गये और पेमारामजी वहां से रतनगढ़ आ गये. पेमारामजी रतनगढ़ में आकर मर गये. संवत1975 की महामारी में खुमाणारामजी के सभी 10 बेटे और बेटी लाडां मर गये. केवल खुमाणारामजी और भींवारामजी बचे. उसकी पत्नी रूकमा की चूड़ी उसके छोटे भाई भींवारामजी ने पहन ली अर्थार्त पेमारामजी की पत्नी रूकमा (गोत्र पचार) से शादी करली. पेमारामजी के मरने के कुछ माह बाद संवत 1975 में आसोज माह में पुत्र लादूरामजी (यह इतिहास बताने वाले) पैदा हुए. लादूरामजी के तीन साल बाद संवत 1978 में भींवारामजी के पुत्र बेगारामजी (लेखक के पिता ) पैदा हुए. भींवारामजी के दो और पुत्र जेसारामजी और मूलारामजी पैदा हुए. इस तरह भींवारामजी के चार पुत्र हुए. उन्होंने ठठावता में वहां के ठाकुर गणपत सिंह से 500 बीघा जमीन मंडवा ली. यह जमीन पहले मेघा ऐचरा की थी. खुमाणारामजी संवत 2001 में ख़त्म हुए और उसके 11 दिन बाद पुत्र भींवारामजी भी ख़त्म हो गये. ऐसी परिस्थिति में दोनों का मौसर एक ही दिन किया. संवत 2011 (वर्ष 1954) में बेगारामजी के पुत्र लक्ष्मण (लेखक) पैदा हुए.

नोट - यह इतिहास बताने वाले श्री लादूरामजी बुरड़क का निधन यह इतिहास बताने के अगले माह अर्थार्त अप्रेल 1996 में ही हो गया.

Bardak in Iran history

In the last quarter of the eighth century B.C., the area of Azerbaijan to the south of Lake Urmia was inhabited by various Jat clans. The two clans whose names had come down in history are called the Mannai and the Mandas. These two clans are nowadays called in India as the Manns and the Mandas. The ancient Mandas are even now a clan of the Jats in India. It was Dayaukku or Devaka, who established the first empire of the Manda Jats in about 700 B.C.^[9]

Mandas and other Jats came to India

When the Manda Empire falls, there wars and the first migration of the Jats took place and from the Manda Empire and from other parts of Central Asia they came to India. That is why Panini mentioned many cities of theirs in the heart of Punjab in the fifth century B.C. But memories die hard. Even today, we have our villages named after the cities lost in Iran. The names like Elam, Bhatona, Susana, Baga, Kharkhoda (Manda Kurukada), etc, are still the names of Jat village. It is these Jats whom Buddha Prakash Calls, “ exotic and outlandish people” who came to Indian at the time of successors of Cyrus, ^[10] and whom Jean Przyluski calls the Bahlikas from Iran and Central Aisa. ^[11], ^[12]

Bardak Siah Palace^[13]

Bardak Siah Palace was the name of ancient Persian king's palace situated near township of Dashtestan in the northern part of Bushehr Province of Iran. In 2005, archaeologists discovered a fragmentary sculpture featuring the head of Darius the Great (r. 521 BC-485 BC) and a servant carrying an umbrella behind him. It was unearthed at the Persian king's palace, known as Bardak Siah Palace, which was discovered in 1977. An inscription was also recovered, with handwriting in Neo-Babylonian language.

The eagle was a symbol of power and wisdom during the Achaemenid era. The capitals of the palace had been decorated with the images of eagles and lions. Pieces of the capitals, including eyes, wings, fangs, and snouts, have been discovered during previous excavations. Such images can be seen at Persepolis as well. Six bronze coins were also discovered beside the statue.

The archaeologists have also discovered some ornaments made of ivory and several fragments of lapis lazuli and ironstone with the handle.

The archaeological team began the excavations in early winter under the supervision of Yaghmaii, whose earlier team had discovered the Darius Palace in 1977. The Darius Palace, also known as the Bardak Siah Palace, is somewhat similar to the Apadana Palace in Persepolis. The palace had 36 columns. Sixteen bases of the columns were unearthed during the first phase of the excavations. Each column rose to about 20 to 23 meters.

Bardak Siah is located near the city of Borazajan in Iran's southern province of Bushehr. Built during the Achaemenids' zenith, the palace had been destroyed by fire in a war.
