[6] The Sura Kings came for Yudhisthira’s sacrifice. [7]

Sheoran is a branch of Shivi Jats who ruled in Malwa and Rajasthan. When they moved from Malwa to Rajasthan, one group also moved to Neemrana, where they were found at the time of Emperor Humanyun.[8]


According to the bard of this dynasty king Gaj of Ghazni had two sons named Mangal Rao and Masur Rao. Mangal Rao was the ruler of Lahore and Masur Rao of Sialkot. Foreign invaders drove both of them out of their kingdoms. Masur Rao fled away to the deserts of Rajasthan. He had two sons named Abhai Rao and Saran Rao. Descendants of Abhai Rao came to be called Bhurhya Bhatti and those of Saran Rao, Saran. Mangal Rao had six sons, named Mojam Rao, Gulrish, Moolraj, Sheoraj, Kewl Rao and Phul Rao.

श्योराण जाट गोत्र का इतिहास

भलेराम बेनीवाल [10] के अनुसार यह जाटों का प्राचीन गोत्र है. महाभारत में इनका उल्लेख सूर्यासर के रूप में हुआ है. शूर राजा पांडव राजा युधिष्ठिर के यज्ञ में शामिल हुये थे. भारतीय साहित्य में इनका नाम शूरा लिखा है. गुप्त काल में शूर सेन लिखा है. ईरान के रोअन्दिज नामक प्रान्त पर श्योराण जाटों का राज्य था. श्योराण कबीला आज भी वहां पर आबाद है. हुमायुंनामा के अनुसार श्योराण गोत्र के जाटों का मालवा में राज्य था. वहां से किसी कारण राजस्थान के नीमराणा के स्थान पर पहुंचे तथा राज्य स्थापित किया.

इस गोत्र के बारे में कहावत है कि श्योराण जाटों का राजपूतों से झगड़ा होता रहा और ये आगे बढते रहे. इसी प्रकार ये लोग लोहारू क्षेत्र में पड़ने वाले गांव सिधनवा में पहुंचे और वहीं बस गये. यहीं के महाराज ने इनको कुछ एरिया दे दिया. जिसे बाद में इन्होने रियासत के रूप में स्थापित किया, लुहारूदादरी में अपनी बढोतरी की और धीरे-धीरे लुहारू में ५० गांव व दादरी में २५ गांव में फ़ैल गये. आज श्योराण गोत्र के दादरी में ४७ गांव तथा लुहारू में ७० गांव हैं. सिधनवाचहड कला इस गोत्र के प्रधान गांव हैं.

श्योराण खाप चौरासी की पंचायत संगठन इस बात का प्रतीक है. इस खाप के फ़ैसलों को राजाओं ने भी माना है. एतिहासिक तथ्यों के आधार पर कहा जा सकता है कि दिल्ली के जाट सम्राट अनंगपाल तोमर की पुत्री रूकमणी के दो पुत्र थे-एक पृथ्वी राज व दूसरा चाहर देव. पृथ्वीराज का दिल्ली पर राज्य रहा. गौरी से परास्त होने के बाद पृथ्वीराज चौहान का वध कर दिया. गौरी ने चाहर देव के लड़के विजयराज को कर के बदले राज्य सौंप दिया. विजयराज के दो पुत्र थे- श्योरा (सोमराव) तथा दूसरा समराव (श्युमरा). इन्होने भी गौरी के साथ लड़ाई में भाग लिया. युद्ध हारने के बाद ये दोनों जंगलों में चले गये और भिवानी के पास सिधनवा गांव में सिद्ध तपस्वी के डेरे पर शरण ली. फ़िर जंगल साफ़ करके वहीं पर श्योराण खाप के वर्तमान गांवों की स्थापना की.

हरफ़ूल जाट जुलाणी वाला इसी गोत्र का है.

श्योराण गोत्र के प्रमुख गांव:

लोहाक, चहड़ कला, सिधनवा, दमकोरा, सिघानी, गागड़वास, बारवास, सिरसी, गारनपुर, कासनी कला, हाजमपुर, गिगनाऊ, बसीरवास, गोठड़ा, बरालू, हरियास, कुशलपुरा, सलेमपुर, नकीपुर, झुंपा कला, झुंपा खूर्द, फ़रटिया केहर, पाजू, बीढन, मण्ढोली, बेरान ढाणी अकबरपुर, ठाणी पाड़वान आदि १२५ के लगभग गांव हैं. हिसार में पोली, कोहळी, छान, कवारी, विडोद. भिवानी में कालियास, हसाण, मठाण. चुरू में लूंछ, चुबकिया लाल, देगा की ढाणी. सिरसा में भाखुसरान, लुदेसर. मेरठ में रोरी, रोहटा. हरिद्वार के पास बहदपुर. सहारनपुर के पास छछरोली, मथुरा के पास छाता के नजदीक नानपुर, बदरूम, प्राणपुर, आदि श्योराण गोत्र के गांव हैं.
