Deshwal

From Jatland Wiki

Deshwal (देशवाळ) Deswal (देसवाल) Deswali (देसवाली) Desali (देसाली) Desiwal (देसीवाल) is a gotra of Jats. This gotra originated from Haryana and were known as Deswali due to their permanent settlement there. ^[1] They are found in Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana in India.

Origin

The History Of Bamrolia Jats mentions the presence of Deshwal Gotra around Agra/ Mathura regio in the 11th century and Origin of Gagoli Village in Distt Jind/ Sangroor( before haryana came into existence in 1966, It was part of Distt. Sangroor) is believed to be 850 years old. There is a mention of Distt Record at Sangroor in this regard. ^[2]

The dynasty of Bamrolia belongs to the Deswali clan of Jats and traces its descent from Jai Singh, who acquired territories near Bairat, south of Alwar. Loyal to Emperor Anang Rao Puar, he received the hereditary title of Rana in ca 1068, together with the usual Royal insignia of a parasol and chamra or yak-tail. A century later, his descendent Rana Palun Singh, transferred his allegiance to Prithvi Raj Chauhan, and was slain beside him in 1175. Rana Birhan Pal, son of Palun, settled at Bamroli, near Agra in 1195. It is from this place that the family derives their name. His descendants ruled there until driven out by the Mughal Governor of Agra in 1367. Rana Ratan Pal, eighth in descent from Birhan Pal, joined the service of the Tuar ruler at Gwalior. His son supported Raja Barsingh Dev of Gwalior, helping him to win his independence from their Muslim overlords in 1375. He married a Jat lady and later settled at Baghthurra, near Gohad. ^[3]

This gotra is even smaller than the Dalal gotra and people belonging to this gotra are found scattered all over Haryana. The genealogical tables prepared by the bards of these four gotras are incorrect because they called them the descendants of Dhanna Rathaur, when gotras like Mann and Sihag existed long before Dhanna Rao.

Deswals are considered to be the descendents of Maharaja Prithvi Raj Chauhan, as per the history narrated by Bhats. The Indian history, however, does not aknowledge the fact that Maharaja Prithvi Raj Chauhan was a Jat. This needs an intensive research. Many Jat clans find their origins from Chauhans. It is most probable that Chauhans were a short of federation of clans which included Jat clans along with other warrior clans.

The place of Origin of the Deshwal/Deswal Gotra is believed to be Village Ladhaut/ Ladhot, also Known as Ladhaut Bhayapur. It is believed to be one of the ancient villages in the region. It is in Disst. Rohtak and about 7 Km from Sukhpura chaunk Rohtak and 10 km from Purani Anaj Mandi Rohtak. The village is surrounded by Kiloi, Dhamad, Makrauli Khurd, Makrauli Kalan, Bohar and Bhalauth. ^[4]
