From Jatland Wiki

Saran (सारण) or Saharan (सहारण) is a gotra of jats in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh in India.

History

According to the bard of this dynasty king Gaj of Ghazni had two sons named Mangal Rao and Masur Rao. Mangal Rao was the ruler of Lahore and Masur Rao of Sialkot. Foreign invaders drove both of them out of their kingdoms. Masur Rao fled away to the deserts of Rajasthan. He had two sons named Abhai Rao and Saran Rao. Descendants of Abhai Rao came to be called Bhurhya Bhatti and those of Saran Rao, Saran. Mangal Rao had six sons, named Mojam Rao, Gulrish, Moolraj, Sheoraj, Kewl Rao and Phul Rao. Descendants of Gulrish came to be called Gloraya or Kiliraya, those of Moolraj, Munda and those Sheoraj, Sheoran. Descendants of Kewal Rao and Phul Rao adopted pottery as their profession and were called Kumhar.

People belonging to Kiliraya and Munda gotras are found in Bikaner State.

Rulers in Jangladesh

Sarans were rulers in jangladesh. Jangladesh coincided with the princely state of Bikaner in Rajasthan. When Rathores under the leadership of Bika and Kandal were spreading their rule in Jangladesh. At that time Saran Jat were ruling in about 100 villages in Jangledesh. Prooloji was their king and their capital was at Bhadang town. Kaijar, Fokh, Boochawas, Sabai, Badina and Sarsel were other famous towns in their state.

Prooloji had war with Rathores but the Godara Jats had aligned with Rathores due to which sarans faced a defeat. The chieftain of Godaras, Pandu was the patriarchal head of the Godaras; his residence was at Shekhsiri, who abducted the wife of Adhiswar of Sarans that made Godaras the enemy of all other Jat rulers. Godaras were the most powerful among the Jat rulers of Jangladesh. The lack of harmony and coordination among other Jat rulers led to the defeat of Jat states in Jangladesh and established the Rathore Kingdom.
