Karaskar

From Jatland Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Karaskar (कारसकर) is a gotra of Jats. Yayu Purana and Visnu Purana have written Khokhars as Kokarkans (कोकरकंस), which became Karaskar. [1]

Guptas are sometimes called Kāraskaras. Khatkals are mentioned in the Mahabharata as 'Kata Kalika', along with Mahishaka (Bains), Karaskar, Karkana and Viraka. 'Kata Kalika' became 'Katkal' or Khatkal as they are named in Punjab. In Haryana they are called Khatkar. It should be noted that Kakar, Varika, etc, mentioned here are all Jat clans.
