History of Chahars

Ramki Chahar has been very popular and brave name among Chahars. Ramki Chahar along with Raja Khemkaran of Sugreevgarh gave a very tough fight to the Muslim army.

Coins of Chahar Deo are found in the region with "Asawar Sri Samant Deo" marked on one side and "King riding horse" on the other side. Raja Chahar Deo ruled Narwar till vikram samwat 1355. After the fall of his rule at Narwar his descendents moved to "Brij Bhumi" region of Uttar Pradesh. Other group of Chahar Jats moved to Matsya and Jangladesh regions of Rajasthan.

Chahar Jat Raja Maldeo, about six centuries ago, ruled at Sidhmukh in Jangladesh (Bikaner). Ghulam Badsah ruled Delhi at that time. The Muslim army while returning from Jaisalmer had a tough fight with Raja Maldeo. The chief of the Muslim army wanted to take away with him the daughter of Maldeo, Somadevi. In the war with Muslim army Maldeo was killed near the boarder of Sidhmukh. Remaining members of his family migrated to Jhunjhawati region.
