    Distribution of Jats

    Jat Gotras in Jaipur City

    Jaipur is the Capital of Rajasthan. The Jaipur region is important Jat belt. We do not have any combined report which can give details about the distribution of Jat gotras in Jaipur region.

    I thought to study the distribution pattern of Jat gotras in the Jaipur district. There are no ready records or studies as such. So I took the membership list of Jat Samaj Samiti, Jaipur Published under the title Jat Directory and Smarika 1999-2000. It gives areawise detailed names, addresses, phone numbers of Jat families living in Jaipur city.

    The two attributes Jat gotra and colony were brought on excel file, tabulated and shorted out. There is an interesting result which gives which jat gotra lives in which colony. This table is available with me and if any member is interested it can be uploaded. The following table is an abstract of the detailed table that gives population of each gotra as a number out of total jats (3920) in the directory arranged in alphabetical order.


    The Jat Directory gives details of 3920 Jat families. There are large number of people who use Chaudhary, Arya or Jat as surnames. Some people use no surname. Out of this list 812 Jats had used Chaudhary as surname. 1218 Jat family heads had Arya or Jat as surname or no surname. Many people around Jaipur use Jat surname. Out of these people 1890 Jat family heads with gotra as surnames were selected and tabulated. These 1890 people are from 356 gotras. The figure after gotra is the count out of 1890 from which we can roughly assess comparative population of that gotra. Here is the list:

    Abusaria, 2 Achra, 1 Ahlawat, 4 Ameria, 1 Anana, 1 Andari, 1 Angyara, 1 Atri, 3 Babal, 1 Badsar, 1 Bag, 4 Bagar, 1 Bagaria, 9 Bainda, 3 Bajdolia, 2 Bajiya, 14 Balian, 1 Baliya, 2 Balwada, 3 Bana, 8 Bangadwa, 3 Barala, 6 Barol, 1 Bauhra, 1 Beniwal, 23 Bhadu, 3 Bhagasra, 2 Bhagod, 8 Bhakar, 26 Bhal, 1 Bhalotia, 4 Bhamu, 10 Bhan, 1 Bhanwaria, 3 Bharangar, 1 Bhataiya, 1 Bhauhar, 2 Bhinchar, 7 Bhukar, 3 Bijarni, 10 Bikara, 1 Birk, 1 Bissu, 1 Boori, 9 Budajia, 2 Budania, 4 Bugalia, 3 Burania, 1 Burdak, 19 Chahar, 20 Chalawaria, 1 Chandelya, 7 Chandiwal, 1 Chauhan, 4 Chaupda, 39 Chhaba, 1 Chhangar, 1 Chhaparia, 1 Chhilar, 1 Chholet, 2 Chhonkar, 1 Chirewale, 3 Chitan, 1 Choyal, 1 Dabas, 2 Dadarwal, 8 Daga, 1 Dagar, 21 Dahiya, 4 Dairwal, 1 Dalal, 2 Dangi, 7 Dangiwa, 1 Dara, 1 Dayaria, 1 Deg, 1 Degra, 3 Dengri, 1 Deshwal 1 Devanda, 15 Dhaka, 64 Dhamora, 1 Dhankar, 19 Dhariwal, 1 Dhaulya, 2 Dhayal, 22 Dhewa, 1 Dhidhwa, 1 Dhillon, 4 Dhindhwa, 3 Dhua, 2 Didel, 2 Dilhan, 1 Diwach, 1 Dodarwa, 1 Dodwadia, 8 Dohan, 3 Dookya, 14 Doot, 11 Dudhwal, 2 Dudi, 36 Dular, 7 Fagaria, 9 Fardolya, 1 Faujdar, 2 Fidauda, 3 Gadhala, 1 Gahlot, 1 Gainan, 1 Gajraj, 6 Gared, 1 Garhwal, 15 Garwa, 2 Gathala, 6 Gawadia, 2 Get, 7 Ghosalia, 23 Gil, 5 Godara, 71 Golya, 1 Grewal, 1 Gulia, 2 Gwala, 1 Harathwal, 8 Hirawat, 1 Hooda, 8 Inania, 2 Indolia, 3 Jagla, 1 Jakhar, 42 Jangoo,1 Janoo, 9 Jaswal, 14 Jatrana, 1 Jhajharia, 24 Jhajhla, 1 Jhajhra, 1 Jhijhwaria, 1 Jhojhar, 1 Jhuria, 3 Jijwaria, 3 Jitarwal, 9 Jodia, 1 Jotar, 3 Juhar, 1 Junawa, 1 Jyani, 4 Kadian, 1 Kadwa, 6 Kajla, 4 Kakran, 1 Kala, 1 Kalawat, 1 Kaler, 2 Kansujiya, 1 Kapuria, 2 Karwasra, 3 Kasania, 2 Kaswan, 8 Kataria, 15 Katewa, 31 Kauntey, 3 Khadanla, 1 Khakal, 1 Khalia, 2 Khangal, 1 Khanothia, 1 Kharbas, 7 Kharinta, 2 Kharra, 4 Khatkar, 5 Khatri, 1 Khedar, 5 Khichar, 11 Khirwal, 1 Khokhar, 7 Khuntel, 1 Kodia, 1 Kok, 2 Kolar, 1 Koont, 1 Koth, 1 Kothari, 8 Krishnia, 10 Kudi, 1 Kulhar, 2 Kulhari, 18 Kundarwal, 4 Kundu, 2 Kuntal, 10 Kuralya, 3 Kuri, 6 Kurwa, 1 Lainga, 1 Lamba, 27 Lamrod, 1 Lathar, 3 Lepswal, 1 Locham, 2 Lohmarod, 1 Lomrod, 1 Lora, 4 Lotasra, 1 Loyal, 1 Luhach, 1 Lunayach, 6 Maan, 20 Machra, 1 Machwa, 1 Maderna, 2 Madhur, 1 Mahawal, 2 Mahia, 1 Mahla, 27 Mahlawat, 6 Mahua, 1 Mahure, 1 Makad, 1 Malan, 2 Malhan, 2 Malik, 8 Mamawa, 1 Mand, 1 Manda, 3 Mandia, 5 Mandiwal, 1 Mandolia, 5 Mangawa, 1 Marwada, 3 Mechu, 2 Meel, 28 Mehra, 2 Mehria, 1 Mehta, 1 Mehto, 1 Meway, 1 Mirdha, 11 Mitharwar, 1 Moga, 4 Mohra, 1 Moond, 5 Mudalia, 1 Muhal, 2 Mukul, 1 Mund, 1 Mundel, 1 Nadal, 1 Naij, 1 Nain, 2 Nasir, 3 Natwadia, 5 Nehra, 16 Nitharwal, 23 Nohwar, 2 Nund, 1 Nyol, 2 Ogra, 1 Ola, 19 Pabana, 1 Pachar, 3 Palawat, 1 Palsania, 3 Pandu, 3 Panwa, 8 Paraswal, 8 Parihar, 2 Pathaina, 1 Payal, 11 Pilania, 8 Piploda, 1 Pual, 2 Punia, 123 Purnawa, 1 Raghuvanshi, 1 Rahad, 3 Rai, 1 Rajauria, 2 Rana, 3 Ranwa, 5 Rao, 5 Rara, 1 Rathi, 9 Rator, 1 Rautwal, 1 Rawat, 7 Rayal, 2 Repswal, 5 Rewad, 11 Riyad, 1 Rohela, 6 Rohit, 1 Roj, 1 Rolan, 1 Rolania, 22 Rudla, 4 Sahu, 9 Samota, 24 Sangwa, 1 Sangwan, 5 Sanwal, 3 Saran, 24 Sarawat, 6 Sau, 1 Saumra, 1 Sekhu, 1 Sepat, 5 Sewda, 2 Sheoran, 6 Sheshma, 2 Shoora, 1 Shukran, 4 Siddhu, 1 Sigar, 7 Sihag, 4 Sikarwar, 3 Silk, 1 Sindhu, 1 Singal, 2 Singhania, 1 Singwal, 1 Sinsinwar, 11 Sipalwal, 1 Sirohi, 17 Siyag, 1 Sodh, 1 Sogaria, 1 Sohalak, 1 Solanki, 12 Somra, 1 Soora, 3 Sulot, 1 Sunda, 7 Sunwala, 1 Sutalia, 1 Sutlana, 1 Takhar, 2 Talwada, 1 Tandi, 1 Tangar, 1 Tanwar, 1 Tarad, 1 Tetarwal, 2 Thakan, 5 Thakran, 1 Thakurele, 3 Thalor, 1 Thebar, 1 Thenua, 1 Tholia, 4 Thori, 4 Titarwal, 3 Todawat, 25 Tokas, 1 Tomar, 13 Vichach, 1 Virk, 1
    Total Gotras 356 and counts......1890

    Conclusions

    1. The above analysis reveals that the biggest five gotra in Jaipur are Punia (123), followed by Godara (71), Dhaka (64), Jakhar (42) and Chaupda (39).

    2. The gotras equal or more than 1 percent of Jat population in Jaipur city include following 27 gotras given in increasing order:Kulhari (18), Burdak (19), Dhankar (19) Ola (19), Chahar (20), Maan (20), Dagar (21), Dhayal (22), Rolania (22), Beniwal (23), Ghosalia (23), Nitharwal (23), Jhajharia (24), Samota (24), Saran (24), Todawat (25), Bhakar (26), Lamba (27), Mahla (27), Meel (28), Katewa (31), Dudi (36), Chaupda (39), Jakhar (42), Dhaka (6), Godara (71), Punia (123).

    3. The activities in which these people are involved was also recorded in their format which finds mention in the Directory. Majority of the people are in service and have their own house in Jaipur. Other activities are business, shops, contractorship, property dealership, agriculture, dairy, politics, paultry farming etc.

    4. Number of Gotras with single entry is 159. These people seem to have started coming to Jaipur late, hence less number.

    5. Jats started coming to Jaipur for settlement from early eighties, the maximum influx being in nineties.

    This is a nice and honest analysis. Some of us may have some information about other small cities where Jats are inhibited - and we should contribute here. Today, the pattern of cities is undergoing a rapid change, with large influx of people of all communities making their permanent homes in big town and cities. Such an information, at least on some major cities, would be of immense use to all of us.

    Distribution of Jat gotras in Sangariya

    Sangariya or Sangaria (संगरिया) is a city in Hanumangarh district in Rajasthan, India. It is situated near the northern border of Rajasthan adjoining Haryana and Punjab states. It is located at Latitude:29-48'N and Longitude:74-30'E. As of 2001 census the population of Sangariya is 34,537. Deengarh is a small village located nearer to Sangaria (10 KM). This is the village of Karwasra's who poineered the Transport business in area in around 1952 AD.

    History

    Before the year 1900, there was a battalion of then princely state of Bikaner to protect the north eastern boundary at the place of present Sangariya town, which was known as ‘sangar’, which gave name to this town. In 1901-02 the Bikaner state railway line was extended from Hanumangarh to Bhatinda. At that time there was no population at this place so this railway station was called ‘Chautala Road’ in the name of village Chautala situated in Punjab (now Haryana) situated at a distance of 6 km from here. From that time onward there started inhabitation of people which has now developed in to the Sangariya town. State Government sanctioned an agricultural mandi here during early twentieth century. The area was barren and there was no availability of drinking water. The water was transported by railways from Hanumangarh town and then supplied to each house.

    Gramothan Vidya Peeth

    On 9 August 1917 a retired subedar Chaudhary Bahadur Singh Bhobia of village Bidangkhera started ‘Jat Anglo Indian School’ with the purpose of spreading education in rural areas. Swami Keshwanand was made director of Jat School Sangaria in 1932 that was just to close for want of funds. He went from village to village and to the Seths of desert region who were in Calcutta and far off places and collected funds. He became instrumental in starting hundreds of schools in the desert region. The Jat School Sangaria was renamed as Gramothan Vidyapith, Sangaria in 1948. Swami Keshwanand was connected with Gramothan Vidyapith, Sangaria (Rajasthan) (1932-1952). He developed here a beautiful museum with collection of rare documents, ancient items, paintings etc. brought from various places. Large-scale plantations were done in this arid area with the help of people and students of the Institute. Gramothan Vidyapith, Sangaria had become center of inspiration for educationists from India and abroad.

    Analysis of Jat gotras in Sangariya

    We do not have any gotra wise figures of Jat population in Rajasthan. We have Jat Samaj Smarika Sangariya 2006 which gives list of Jat members of the samaj in Sangariya. The list includes details of all members of 408 families who are members of Jat Samaj Sangariya. The details include about name and gotra of head of the family with other members and relation with the head of the family. Gotra of each married woman in the family is also given. Other details are age, education, profession and the telephone numbers. The place of origin of the head is also there. The information from Jat Samaj Smarika Sangariya 2006 was reduced to an excel table with gotra, place of origin and the district. We got 1041 entries of gotras of married members. The parental gotra of female members was recorded for the purpose of analysis. In the following table each gotra has got two numbers in the bracket. The first figure indicates number of male members of that gotra out of total 1041 and second figure indicates number of female members of that gotra who came and married to family in Sangariya. The entry with * indicates that there is no family of this gotra in Sangariya but only female members married with members in Sangariya.

    List of Jat gotras

    Thus in Sangariya we get a list of 161 gotras shown in alphabetical order:

    The biggest Jat gotras

    Following are the biggest Gotras in increasing order.

    * Kaswan (8+14) 22
    * Potalia (20+3) 23
    * Bhadu (6+19) 25
    * Bhakar (13+13) 26
    * Jhorad (12+14) 26
    * Rao (29+2) 31
    * Punia (15+17) 32
    * Karwasra (15+17) 32
    * Kaswan (8+14) 32
    * Sihag (12+22) 34
    * Jakhar (17+23) 40
    * Beniwal (31+25) 56
    * Saran (45+53) 98
    * Godara (36+65) 101

    * Out of 161 gotras in the above list 76 are with * which indicates that being the paternal gotra of married women are not used as surnames. So only remaining 85 are in-fact the gotras inhabited in Sangariya.
    * The two gotras Potalia and Rao are rare in rest of areas and seem to be localized in this area of Sangariya. The number of women from out side marrying males of Sangariya is very less in these two gotras.
    * In rest of the gotras number of women marrying to males in Sangariya is more, which indicates that in the area around Sangariya these gotras are in abundance.
    * The biggest gotras are the same as mentioned by James Tod in annals ruling the country of Jangladesh, as this area was part of Jangladesh prior to fifteenth century.
    * Over many centuries this Jat population seems stable with regular inputs from neighbouring states increasing its clan diversity as is clear from 161 Jat clans present in this area.

    The biggest Jat gotras

    Following are the biggest Gotras in increasing order.

    * Kaswan (8+14) 22
    * Potalia (20+3) 23
    * Bhadu (6+19) 25
    * Bhakar (13+13) 26
    * Jhorad (12+14) 26
    * Rao (29+2) 31
    * Punia (15+17) 32
    * Karwasra (15+17) 32
    * Kaswan (8+14) 32
    * Sihag (12+22) 34
    * Jakhar (17+23) 40
    * Beniwal (31+25) 56
    * Saran (45+53) 98
    * Godara (36+65) 101

    * Out of 161 gotras in the above list 76 are with * which indicates that being the paternal gotra of married women are not used as surnames. So only remaining 85 are in-fact the gotras inhabited in Sangariya.
    * The two gotras Potalia and Rao are rare in rest of areas and seem to be localized in this area of Sangariya. The number of women from out side marrying males of Sangariya is very less in these two gotras.
    * In rest of the gotras number of women marrying to males in Sangariya is more, which indicates that in the area around Sangariya these gotras are in abundance.
    * The biggest gotras are the same as mentioned by James Tod in annals ruling the country of Jangladesh, as this area was part of Jangladesh prior to fifteenth century.
    * Over many centuries this Jat population seems stable with regular inputs from neighbouring states increasing its clan diversity as is clear from 161 Jat clans present in this area.

    we were told that JATS were called by different names here and there. But whether its just incidental that duniyan ki saari ruling dynasties is jat jati ke chidiyaghar me hi quon milti hain?

    who upon earth can subjugate these people, like hunas, sakas, aryas, yaudheyas, ....Jats, Gate, Gatae, Getz, .......Goths, .........

    Distribution of Jat Gotras in Mandsaur district in MP

    Mandsaur (मन्दसौर/मंदसौर) is a city in the Malwa region and district of Madhya Pradesh state of central India. It is the monolith pillar at Mandsaur that testimonies the victory of Yasodharman, a Jat King of Malwa

    Origin of name

    The name Mandsaur evolved from Marhsaur, which originated from Marh and Saur (or Dasaur), two of the villages which merged in the town. The town was known as Dashpur in ancient times.

    History

    Mandsaur and its neighborhood are full of archaeological interest. An inscription discovered near the town indicated the erection of a temple of the sun in 437, and at Sondani are two great monolith pillars recording a victory of Yasodharman, a Jat King of Malwa, in 528.[1]

    The Gupta empire had been weakened by the attacks of the Indo-Hephthalites, known in India as the Hunas, towards the end of the 5th century, which caused it to break up into smaller states. Yasodharman defeated a Huna army in 528 and their ruler Mihirakula, which checked the Huna expansion in India. Twin monolithic pillars at Sondani in Mandsaur District were erected by Yasodharman as a record of his victory. [2][3]

    Three inscriptions of Yasodharman have been found in Mandsaur. One of these is of samvat 589 (532 AD). Yasodharman had acquired the title of Vikramaditya. [4] He started the vikram samvat calendar of Hindus based on Lunar movements. The Kashmiri poet Kalhana has mentioned about three Kalidasas. The second Kalidasa, who wrote the books 'Raguvansha' and 'Jyotirvidabharan', was court poet of Yasodharman. Kalidasa has mentioned the victories of Yasodharman as 'Raghu-digvijaya'. His rule extended from Himalayas in the north to Travancore in south. The ruler of Magadha had become his friend. Chinese traveler Faxian visited India during his rule. [5] The victory of Yasodharman is mentioned in the sentence “Ajay Jarto Hunan” in the grammar of Chandra of the fifth century. This mention in the phrase sentence अजय जर्टो हुणान or “Ajay Jarto Huṇān”, refers to the defeat of Huns by the Jats under the leadership of Yasodharman. [6]

    Jat gotras in Mandsaur district

    I thought to study the distribution pattern of Jat Gotras in the Mandsaur district in Madhya Pradesh. There are no ready records or studies as such.

It gives details of members’ names, addresses, place of origin, gotra and phone numbers of Jat families living in Mandsaur district.

This table is available with me and if any member is interested it can be uploaded. The following table is an abstract of the detailed table that gives population of each gotra as a number out of total jat families (1406) in the directory arranged in alphabetical order.


    The Veer Jat Parichayavali[7] gives details of 1406 Jat families who are members. They are from 186 gotras. The figure after gotra is the count out of 1406 from which we can roughly assess comparative population of that gotra in the district. Here is the list:

    Biggest Jat Gotras

    Some conclusions

    * 76 Gotras are with only one count which indicates that these gotras are due to women marrying from out side far off places or some relatives get settled in these villages from far off places.
    * The largest Gotra Daroya is found in this area only and not in north India.
    * Many gotras are common with those of Rajasthan indicates there migration from Rajasthan over a very long period as the number of families have vast difference of population.
    * Some gotras have influence of Gujarati language as Siyak becomes Hiyak. Gotras Sidar and Hidar also seem to be same but difference due to language.
    * Many Gotras seem to be specific to this area only such as Daroya, Bhadara, Nawad, Bhuwada, Bohra, Raghera, Tharauda, Thuniwar, Bhodiyan, Huran, Bharwania, Melyan, Mohla, Sidar, Hidar, Lana, Mola, Kadhiyan, Dania, Jijwaria, Barwar, Jarawata, Bharwaria, Waswana, Paraya, Akodia, Banganwa, Karwanya,

    One more Jat Fort in Madhya Pradesh - Joga Fort

    Joga Fort is an ancient fort built by Jats situated on the border of Dewas and Harda districts in Madhya Pradesh. It is located in the middle of Narmada River at a distance of 8 km from a small town called 'Bai Jog Bada'. It is a beautiful tourist spot full of natural beauty and biodiversity.

    History

    This fort was built by two Jat warrior brothers Bhoga and Joga. They were contemporary of Alha and Udal warriors in the Army of Chandel rulers. Chandela rulers made them the governor of Nimar province where they ruled continuously till the rein of Mugals and Marathas. The great warrior Joga Singh Rao got constructed this fort. The elder brother Bhoga was killed in a war and Joga ascended to the throne. The folk tradition reveals that Joga loved one Gujar woman. It is believed that even after becoming the rani, the Gujari used to go by a secret route to take bath in the Narmada River and bring drinking water herself. There is a large population of Jats and Gujars surrounding the area.

    The fort is still a site of unique beauty. The area surrounding the fort in a radius of about 25 km is good natural forest. It is situated on a 1000 metre high island above Narmada waters. It still reveals the history of Jat warriors even after 800 years have passed.

    Urgent need


    Local tradition reveals that there is a huge treasure buried under the fort. There are people who are blasting parts of the fort by dynamite to find the hidden treasure. There is urgent need to take care of the fort by Archaeological Survey of India and explore the history.

    This fort is not connected by any public transport system. The public transport is through road upto the village 'Bai Jog Bada'. One has to reach the fort by trucks of Madhya Pradesh Forest Department or the Electricity Department.

    Distriburtion of Jat Gotras in Nimach district Madhya Pradesh

    Nimach district in MP was earlier part of Mandsaur district. This was the area where we found Mandsaur Pillar inscriptions about Virk Jat Yashodharman. This area iis historically important for Jat history.

    I studied the distribution pattern of Jat Gotras in the Nimach district in Madhya Pradesh. There are no ready records or studies as such. So I took the membership list of Jats of Nimach district from Pariwarik Parichay Patrika - 2003 Published by Jila Jat Samaj, Nimach (M.P.). It gives details of members’ names, His gotra and his wife's gotra,age and education of each member in the family of Jats living in Nimach district.

    The two attributes Jat gotra and place were brought on excel file, tabulated and shorted out. There is an interesting result which gives which jat gotra is from which village. This table is available with me and if any member is interested it can be uploaded. The following table is an abstract of the detailed table that gives population of each gotra as out of total jat members 1276 (644 families) members in the directory arranged in alphabetical order.


    The Pariwarik Parichay Patrika - 2003 Published by Jila Jat Samaj, Nimach (M.P.) gives details of 644 Jat families who are members. They are from 252 gotras.

    Total.........1276

    Biggest Jat Gotras

    The biggest Jat Gotras in the district are as under in the decreasing order with number of members out 1276 as under:

    Sanwar 83, Beniwal 82, Varaha 68, Karwaniya 61, Punia 50, Kasya 44, Fagar 41, Thalor 33, Nehra 30, Thuniwar 24, Mor 23, Chitiyan 22, Mundfod 20, Godara 20, Far 19, Bathiyan 18, Serawat 17, Tharol 16, Gandas 16, Baraliya 15, Rad 14, Jhajhad 14, Denihar 14, Gatara 13, Dundi 13,

    Some conclusions

    138 Gotras are with only one count which indicates that these gotras are due to women marrying from out side far off places or some relatives get settled in these villages from far off places.

    The two largest Gotras Sanwar (83), Varaha (68) are found in this area only and not in north India.

    Many gotras are common with those of Rajasthan indicates there migration from Rajasthan over a very long period as the number of families have vast difference of population.

    Some gotras have influence of Gujarati language as a result 'S' becomes 'H' such as Siyak becomes Hiyak, Gotras Sidar becomes Hidar, Sehrawat becomes Herawat, Soran becomes Horan, Saran becomes Haran. This varaiation in gotras seem to be due to difference in the language.
    Many Gotras seem to be specific to this area only such as Sanwar, Varaha, Bathiyan, Fagar, Mundfod, Baraliya, Denihar, Dagolia, Eram, Far, Faras, Jatiyan, Lawas, Lunawat, Nisia, Pipalya, Rabdia, Sapedia, Thapor etc.

    Jat Gotras in Chhoti Sadri (Chittorgarh) Rajasthan

    Chhoti Sadri (छोटी सादड़ी) is a city and a municipality in Chittorgarh district in the state of Rajasthan, India.It is situated near Neemuch on the Ajmer-Khandwa railway line .

    The place was famous for the temple of Devi built in the fifth century AD. This temple is now known as Bhavaramata. It is intersting to note in the list below that Bhavara is a Jat Gotra found in Chhoti Sadri tahsil.

    Inscription at Chhoti Sadri

    The rule of Gora clan Jat kshatriyas has been mentioned in an inscription found in Bhavara Mata (भवर माता) temple on a hillock near village 'Chhoti Sadri' (छोटी सादड़ी) in Chittaurgarh district. It is in Brahmi script and Sanskrit language.[1]Pandit Gauri Shankar Hirachand Ojha has written about the inscription of 'Chhoti Sadri' in an article published in Nagari pracharini-patrika, part 13, issue-1 under the title Gaur namak agyat kshatriya vansh - गौर नामक अज्ञात क्षत्रिय वंश. Some lines from that inscription are as under in Sanskrit language:[1]

    तस्या प्रणम्य प्रकरोम्यह x x जस्त्रम

    (कीर्तिशु) भां गुणा गणोघम (पींन्टपाणाम) (3)

    x x कुलो (भद्) वव (ञ् श) गौरा

    क्षात्रेप (दे) सतत दीक्षित x शौंडा ।

    x x x

    धान्य सोम इति क्षत्र गणस्य मध्ये (4)

    ... ... ...

    x x किल राज्य जित प्रतापो

    यो राज्यवर्द्धण (न) गुणै कृत नाम धेयः

    x x x

    जातः सुतो करि करायत दीर्घ बाहु ।

    नाम्ना स राष्ट्र इति प्रोद्धत पुन्य (पय) कीर्ति (6)

    सोयम यशो भरण भूषित सर्व गात्रः

    प्रोत्फुल पद्मः ......तायत चारु नेत्रः ।

    दक्षो दयालु रिह शासित शत्रु पक्षः ।

    क्षमां शासति ....यश गुप्त इति क्षितीन्दुः (8)

    तेनेयं भूतधात्री क्रतु मिरिहचिता (पूर्व) श्रंगेव भाति

    प्रासादे रद्रि तुंगैः शशिकर वषुषैः स्थापितेः भूषिताद्य

    नाना दानेन्दु शुभ्रैर्द्विजवर भवनैर्येन लक्ष्मीर्व्विभक्ता ।

    x x x स्थित यश वषुशा श्री महाराज गौरः (11)

    यातेषु पंचसु शतेष्वथ वत्सराणाम्

    द्वे विंशतीसम धिकेषु स सप्तकेषु ।।

    माघस्य शुक्ल दिवसे त्वगमत्प्रतिष्ठाम् ।

    प्रोत्फुल्ल कुन्द धवलोज्वलिते दश म्याम् (13)

    The above inscription proves that Maharaja Dhanya soma (धान्य सोम) was a popular king of Gor Jat kshatriya clan. Rajyavardhan (राज्यवर्द्धण), Rashtra (राष्ट्र) and Yasha Gupta (यश गुप्त) rulers followed in succession. The inscription also reveals that the Gor kings had constructed goddess temple in memory of their ancestors on magha shukla 10 in samvat 547 (491 AD). The inscription proves the rule of Gor kings near 'Chhoti Sadadi' place in Rajasthan in 6th century. They were considered to be powerful till the rule of Maharana Raimal.[1]

    Meenas and Bhil tribe dominated the area in later period.

    Demographics

    As of 2001 India census, Chhoti Sadri had a population of 16,602. Males constitute 51% of the population and females 49%. Chhoti Sadri has an average literacy rate of 70%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; with male literacy of 80% and female literacy of 60%. 14% of the population is under 6 years of age.

    Jat villages in Chhoti Sadri tahsil

    Deokheda (देव खेड़ा) , Jalaudia (जलौदिया) , Jamlawda (जमलावदा), Kesunda (केसुन्दा) , Soobi (सूबी) , Karju (कारजू), Karunda (कारूंड़ा), Rambhawli (रम्भावली), Mahinagar (महीनगर),

    Jat Gotras in Chhoti Sadri tahsil

    The study of the distribution pattern of Jat Gotras in Chhoti Sadri tahsil of chittorgarh district of Rajasthan is similar to that of the Nimach and Mandsaur districts in Madhya Pradesh. There are no ready records or studies as such. So I took the membership list of Jats of Nimach district from Pariwarik Parichay Patrika - 2003 Published by Jila Jat Samaj, Nimach (M.P.). It gives details of members’ names, His gotra and his wife's gotra,age and education of each member in the family of Jats living in Nimach district and those living in Chhoti Sadri tahsil in chittorgarh district of rajasthan. I had also discussion with President of Veer Tejaji Jat Samaj Samiti, Nimach, PIN-458441, shri Balraj Sapedia (Phone-07423-222795) who was instrument in publishing this smarika.

    The two attributes Jat gotra and place were brought on excel file, tabulated and shorted out. There is an interesting result which gives which jat gotra is from which village. This table is available with me and if any member is interested it can be uploaded. The following table is an abstract of the detailed table that gives population of each gotra as out of total jat members 313 (173 families) members in the directory arranged in alphabetical order.


    The Pariwarik Parichay Patrika - 2003 Published by Jila Jat Samaj, Nimach (M.P.) gives details of 173 Jat families from Chhoti Sadri tahsil who are members. They are from 65 gotras. The figure after gotra is the count out of 313 from which we can roughly assess comparative population of that gotra in Chhoti Sadri tahsil of the Chittorgarh district. The gotra list includes gotras of male head of the family and his wife. Here is the list:


    Awas (अवास) 1 Badkeshia 1 Bagadwa 2 Bageshia (बगेशिया ) 1 Bagod 3 Bamda (बामदा) 1 Bangadwa 2 Bargasa (बरगसा)/ (बरगस्या) 15 Barkothia (बरकोठिया) 1 Bathian 1 Beniwal 5 Bhandas (भंडास) 1 Bharania (भरानिया) 3 Bhawara (भवारा) 1 Bohra 5 Bora 1 Chityan 53 Delyan (देलयाण) 1 Duhan 15 Eram 1 Etwas (एतवास) 1 Fangar 2 Far 10 Faraha (फराहा) 1 Gandas 7 Godat (गोडत) 2 Goil (गोइल) 6 Goit (गोइत) 1 Hanwar (हनवार) 1 Herawat 2 Jathian 1 Kadwa 3 Kangar (कांगर) 1 Karirawan (करिरावण ) 3 Kashia 1 Kashya 1 Kasuma 1 Khandolia (खंडोलिया) 2 Kharadia (खराडिया ) 1 Koit (कोइत) 1 Lamba 2 Lawas 13 Lunas 6 Mana 1 Manga 5 Mor 49 Morit (मोरित) 1 Mundfod 13 Nania ((नानिया) 1 Nehra 11 Nonlia (नोंलिया) 1 Pachar 9 Padoda 1 Pawda 1 Punia 12 Raail (राइल) 1 Rabadia 1 Roonaru (रूनारू) 1 Roonas (रूणास) 3 Sanwar 7 Sapedia 1 Sawas (सवास) 1 Sohida (सोहिदा) 1 Tharol 2 Varaha 7

    Total........ 313

    The biggest Jat Gotras in Chhoti Sadri tahsil are:

    Chityan 53 Mor 49 Bargasa (बरगसा)/ (बरगस्या) 15 Duhan 15 Lawas 13 Mundfod 13 Punia 12 Nehra 11 Far 10 Pachar 9 Gandas 7 Sanwar 7 Goil (गोइल) 6 Lunas 6 Bohra 5 Manga 5

    Some conclusions

    * 33 Gotras are with only one count which indicates that these gotras are due to women marrying from out side far off places or some relatives get settled in these villages from far off places.
    * The two largest Gotras Chityan (53) and Mor (49) are found in this area along with Nimach and Mandsaur districts of Malwa region in Madhya Pradesh.
    * Many gotras are common with those of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh indicates that there has been migration from Rajasthan to Madhya Pradesh and vice versa over a very long period as the number of families have vast difference of population.

    Distribution of Jat Gotras in Tonk district in Rajasthan

    Distribution of Jat Gotras in Tonk district in Rajasthan

    Tonk (टोंक) is a city and district in Rajasthan situated on National Highway No. 12 at distance of 100 kms from Jaipur. It is located in North- Eastern part of the state between 75.19' & 76.16 East longitude and 25.41' and 26.24' North Latitude. It was founded by Jats of gotra Tonk.\

    History

    Tonk district had many Jat rulers in the past. Thakur Deshraj has mentioned about Jat rulers of following clans in his book Jat Itihas.

    Khoja clan rule

    Khoja or Khwaja gotra Jats are found in Marwar, Ajmer – merwara and Jhunjhunwati areas of Rajasthan. They ruled in Tonk in 11th century. The author of ‘Tarikh Rajgan Hind’ Maulvi Hakeem Majmulgani Khan has mentioned giving the geographical description of Tonk state and location of Tonk town on Banas River. He has further mentioned that Khoja Ram Singh after a war at Delhi came to this place and founded Tonk town on magha sudi teras samvat 1003. This town was earlier called Tonkra, which later became Tonk. After a long period on magh sudi 5 samvat 1337 Alloudin Khilji when won Madhaupur and Chittorgarh, this town was again habited. Thus the descendents of Ram Singh ruled Tonk from samvat 1003 to samvat 1337. Khilji or some other Muslim ruler had destroyed this town, which was rehabilitated.

    Chandla Jat ruler

    Chandlai is a village in Tonk district of Rajasthan, India. It is situated at a distance of 10 km from Tonk city on Tonk – Kota road. A Jat chieftain ‘Chandla’ founded it. He got constructed a pucca pond near the village in the name of her daughter ‘Bhala’ and put an inscription on it on baisakh sudi 15 samvat 1027 (970 AD). This was the time when Rajasthan was ruled by a large number of small republics. Chandla was ruler of Tonk at that time.

    Pirana Jat Janapada

    Pirana is the name of a place at a distance of 8 km from Tonk city in Tonk district in north direction. It was a republic of Jats. It was a well-organized state. They used to collect taxes from traders and rich travelers through passing their state. They used to collect one fourth of the goods as tax. There was a system of equal right of all the brothers and castes on the land under their occupation. But in return they used to select 9 soldiers from their people for war. Every child, youth and elderly persons were committed to protect their state and sacrifice their lives.

    Once a caravan of Begams of Badsah Jahangir happened to pass through their state. Jat chieftain stopped the carvan and allowed to pass only when they paid taxes. Jahangir when came to know about this incidence he sent his subedar Malook khan to suppress these Jats. Malook khan knew the powers and strategy of Jat rulers so he did not attack them directly. He camped at a village called Sherpur near Ranthambore and started his planning. He allured one Doom and asked details about how he could defeat these Jat rulers. The Doom told him that on bhadwa badi 12 the Jats celebrate ‘Bachchh baras’ when all are armless. Malook khan attacked on this very date when the Jats were celebrating ‘Bachchh baras’. Jats being unarmed, many of them were killed. This way a Jat republic was destroyed.

    Jiwan Singh and Raimal in Pirana were two chieftains who were killed in above attack. The pregnant ladies at the time of above attack got escaped and sent to Sanganer where they founded a town near Sanganer. The boys on their birth were named Jiwan and Raimal as decided prior to war on the name of above warriors killed. Jiwan later chose to live at a place of his ancestors and founded a new village ‘Pirana’ in the name of old village of same name. Some ladies were killed or chose to become sati after the death their husbands. There are terraces constructed in the memory of these ladies at Pirana locally known as ‘Satiyon ke chabutre’. The inscriptions on this site bear years upto samvat 1478 (1421 AD). These inscriptions indicate the period of war of Malook khan with Jats was in fourteenth century when Khilji was ruler at Delhi.


    Jaipur's King Man Singh conquered Tari & Tokra Janpad in the regime of Akbar. In 1643 twelve village of Tokra janpad given to Bhola Brahmin . Later Bhola gave a name to these twelve villages as 'Tonk '. It is surrounded by 5 districts i.e. in north Jaipur, in South Bundi & Bhilwara, in East Ajmer and in West Sawaimadhopur districts.
