In Mahabharata

Mahabharata Shalya Parva in Sanskrit Book 9, Ch 44, Shloka 12 states that -

अदितिर देव माता च हरीः शरीः सवाहा सरस्वती
उमा शची सिनीवाली तदा चानुमतिः कुहूः
राका च धिषणा चैव पत्न्यश चान्या दिवौकसाम ।।12।।

This gotra Jats are found in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh in India. Sinsinwars were the rulers of princely state Bharatpur. Before the formation of Bharatpur state the capital of Sinsinwars was at Sinsini. This was the gotra of Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur. Many Sinsinwars use Faujdar as their surname. Karauli city was founded by Sinsinwars.

History

Sinsini earlier was known as 'Shoorsaini' and its inhabitants were known as Saursen. The influence of Saursen people can be judged from the fact that the dialect of the entire north India at one time was known as 'Saursaini'.

Shoor Sain people were Chandravanshi. Lord Krishna was also born in vrishni branch of Chandravansh. A group of Yadavas was follower of Shiva and Vedic God in Sindh. Some inscriptions and coins of these people have been found in 'Mohenjo Daro'. ' Shiv Shani Sevi' words have been found engraved on one inscription. Yajur Veda mentions 'Shinay Swah'. 'Sini Isar' was found on one gold coin. Atharva Veda mentions 'Sinwali' for Sini God.

The above group of Yadavas came back from Sindh to Brij area and occupied Bayana in Bharatpur district. After some struggle the 'Balai' inhabitants were forced by Shodeo and Saini rulers to move out of Brij land and thus they occupied large areas. 'Saur Saini' was changed to 'ShinShoor' or 'Sinsini' after their God 'Shin'. These people of Sinsini were called Sinsinwar. One of their groups moved to Sugrivgarh and they were known as 'Sugrivgadhia' or 'Sogdians'.

Faujdar was a title awarded by Muslim rulers to people who had responsibility of protecting some territory. Sogarwar, Chahar, Sinsinwar, Kuntal etc Jat gotra people use this title.
