History
They are the same as Kulya / Kuliya of the Puranas. The Markandeya Purana mentions them alongwith the Matsyas in Central India. Matsya Purana mentions a people named Kuliya. [3]
According to the bard of the Gulia clan, during the rule of Prithvi Raj Chauhan, Badli, a village in Rohtak, was ruled by Raja Badra Sen. Two Saiyad Sardars, Nasir Hussain Mashade and Ata-Ulla Mashade came from Kabul to Badli under the leadership, of Bir Saiyed Hussain to destroy Haryana and they became rulers after killing Badra Sen. They employed Roras and Kalals as tillers.
In 1192 Mohammed Ghori was victorious in the battle of Tarai and Prithvi Raj was killed. Seven Brahmin soldiers ran away from the field and hid themselves in a temple near a pond three miles south of Badli. They were the sons of Udai Chand Brahmin of Indergarh. Their names were Ausar, Dausar, Rahal, Ashal, Mahal and Chahal etc. They mistook wine as water and drank it. Their purity as Brahmins was thus polluted. They put their sacred threads in a gol (an oval vessel of clay). Therefore they were called Gulia Jats and they settled in Badli as tenants of the Mohammedans. The bard (Bhat) of Gulia clan has written above unbelievable story about the origin of this clan.
The other story is that, Badra Sen was an officer in the army of Prithvi Raj. Badli Pargana was his estate. He belonged to a Dhulia family of Indergarh. Before the Chauhan rule, Bhadra, Ajmer, Indergarh etc. were the capitals of the Gora Jats. After the death of Prithvi Raj there was chaos in the country. The Khokhar Jats slayed Mohammed Ghori near Multan. There was a woman named Bodli. The village was named Badli in her honour. Sant Sarang Dev's samadhi (shrine) still exists in Badli and is widely worshipped.
These Gulia Jats were very spirited. When Timur was supervising the massacre of Delhi, a Gulia youth, named, Harveer Gulia assaulted him.
