History

The local tradition tells that prior to the rule of Maharaja Suraj Mal in tehsil Igalās in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh, the then Rajput Raja of Jaipur pressurized the Jats to have marital relations with Muslims. Jats opposed it but could do nothing to force the Jaipur Raja. So they left this ancestral land and moved to Hindaun area in Jaipur district. The Hindaul gotra of Jats is still found in Hindaun tehsil, which got its name after the Hindaul gotra of Jats.

Later Maharaja Suraj Mal offered the jagir of nearby village Sāthanī to one warrior Vāhan Singh Hindaul. He had four sons namely, Mān Singh, Chūraman, Vijayram and Jivarām. Mān Singh founded village Mān, Chūraman founded village Chūharā, Vijayram founded village Pithair and Jivarām founded village Diswār. Man Singh had four sons namely, Bakshi Singh, Chandan Singh, Umraj Singh and Balwant Singh.

Hindols migrated from Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh during the rule of Maharaja Suraj Mal. There are 22 villages of Hindol gotra. These are Moja Sāthanī, Mān, Chuhara, Diswar, Ransura, Jogpur, Konga, Bhagu, Pithair, Loriya etc.
