History
As per the bard the 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 from village Gothra (Tagalan).
The Kharra gotra woman, mother of the sole survivor of Burdak clan, was worshipper of Gosain ji. She was a strong Bhakt of Gosain ji. The sole Burdak survivor boy was very energetic. He targeted matakas of village woman carrying water with his bow and arro. Village women got copper mataka. Even then the boy targeted these matakas with iron bow and arrow. The boy’s Kharra gotra mama once requested his co-brothers to stop the overflow of village Johar. The Kharras denied help saying the right to property was of Burdak Bhanja why should they help. The mama of Burdak boy died over it. A chabutara is still there at the Johar of village Gothra (Tagalan). There is one very old temple of Gosain ji in Gothra (Tagalan) village. Presently there are about 200 families of Burdaks in this village.
