History

Sogarwars are descendants of Yaduvansh or Chandravansh. There was a famous warrior in Sogarwar clan named Sugriv (सुग्रीव). He founded the present Sogar town in Rajasthan near border of Uttar Pradesh. He also constructed fort here, which was known as Sugrivgarh. Sugrivgarh is now known as Sogar. There is a math of Sugriv here. All Sogarwars used to keep some grains separate for him when harvesting crop. During marriages also they offer Rs one for Sugriv math.


Khemkaran was warrior born in Sogarwars. He was prior to Maharaja Suraj Mal. He had stopped all the roads for Aurangzeb. He along with his friend Ramki Chahar created a terror in Agra, Dholpur and Gwalior regions. The Mugal sardars were terrified of him. Bharatpur was part of his state. He was also a kind hearted and charitable person. He is said to be so strong that he could kill two tigers at a time on both sides with a katar. Mugal Badsah had awarded him the title of Faujdar. The Kuntal ruler of Ading state had poisoned him.

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.
