    Caria was a region of western Anatolia. Its inhabitants were called Carians who were emigrants from Crete to Central Asia.[1] They came to the aid of Darius-III (the last king of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia) and were part of alliance in the battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) formed by Darius-III in war against Alexander the Great at Arbela, now known as Arbil, which is the capital of Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq.

    History of Jat clan Babal

    Babal (बाबल) is Gotra of Jats. They live in Rajasthan. Dr Pema Ram writes that after the invasion of Alexander, the Jats of Sindh and Punjab migrated to Rajasthan. They built tanks, wells and Bawadis near their habitations. The tribes migrated were: Shivis, Yaudheyas, Malavas, Madras etc. The Shivi tribe which came from Ravi and Beas Rivers founded towns like Sheo, Sojat, Siwana, Shergarh, Shivganj etc. This area was adjoining to Sindh and mainly inhabited by Jats. The Jats of Gotra Babal came to Marwar. (Dr Pema Ram:Rajasthan Ke Jaton Ka Itihas, p.14 )

    A study of Greek records and invasion of Alexander the Great in 331 BC reveals that in Battle of Gaugamela Achaemenid Empire was defeated. The Babylonians came to the aid of Darius-III (the last king of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia) and were part of alliance in the battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) formed by Darius-III in war against Alexander the Great at Arbela, now known as Arbil, which is the capital of Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq. Babal clan may get name from Babylon, a city of ancient Mesopotamia, the remains of which can be found in present-day Al Hillah, Babil Province, Iraq, about 85 kilometers south of Baghdad.Babylon was also known by names - Babil (a Province in Iraq), Babilu (bāb-ilû, meaning 'Gateway of the god(s)'), Babel (In Bible).

    Ujhlan clan History

    Aujhlan (औझलान), according to Bhim Singh Dahiya, are the descendants of Ujjihana of Panini. They are to be compared with the Aujhlan clan of Jats. [1]Ojh of Central Asia is the Indian name Ujjihana and Ojhlan/Ojala of present Jat clan.[2] Aujhlan (औझलान) is variant of Ujhlan (उझलान) like putra (पुत्र) changes to Pautra (पौत्र) (उ→औ) in Sanskrit. Uxian → Ujian (x→j) → Ujiana → Ujhiana → Ujihana (उझिहाना) → Ujjihana (उज्झिहाना)

    Uxians
    - Ujhlan is variant of Uxians of Greeks, who were defeated in December 331 BC by Alexander the Great in his Persian Campaign in the Battle of the Uxian Defile.

    Uxians or Uxii were a tribal confederation[3] of non-Iranian semi-nomadic people who lived somewhere in the Zagros Mountains. They were classified by Nearchus as among the four predatory peoples of the southwest along with the Mardi, Sousii, and Elymaei. They raided the settled people of Iran and raised sheep.


    Arrian[4] writes that ....Uxians came to the aid of Darius-III (the last king of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia) and were part of alliance in the battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) formed by Darius-III in war against Alexander the Great at Arbela, now known as Arbil, which is the capital of Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq.

    Jats in the Greek History

    Bhim Singh Dahiya[1] writes that....The connection of Dahiyas with Persia is further supported by Anabasis who states that the Dahae were one of the Chief tribes of Persia.[2] Their fight at Arbela in 331 B.C., against Alexander, is mentioned by the same authority.[3] It is well known that Cyrus the Great, was killed in battle against the Massagetae, under their Queen Tomyris.

    The Battle of Gaugamela (Greek: Γαυγάμηλα), also called the Battle of Arbela (Greek: Ἄρβηλα), was the decisive battle of Alexander the Great's invasion of the Persian Achaemenid Empire. In 331 BC Alexander's army of the Hellenic League met the Persian army of Darius III near Gaugamela, close to the modern city of Dohuk (Iraqi Kurdistan). Though heavily outnumbered, Alexander emerged victorious due to his army's superior tactics and his deft employment of light infantry. It was a decisive victory for the Hellenic League and led to the fall of the Achaemenid Empire.

    Jats in Battle of Arbela

    The various tribes came to the aid of Darius-III (the last king of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia) and were part of alliance in the battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) formed by Darius-III in war against Alexander the Great at Arbela, now known as Arbil, which is the capital of Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq. [4]

    Map - Location of Arbīl


    Various Clans came to the aid of Darius-III (the last king of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia) and were part of alliance in the battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) formed by Darius-III in war against Alexander the Great at Arbela, now known as Arbil, which is the capital of Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq.


    ArrianThe Anabasis of Alexander/3a, Ch.8 writes....Alexander therefore took the royal squadron of cavalry, and one squadron of the Companions, together with the Paeonian scouts, and marched with all speed; having ordered the rest of his army to follow at leisure. The Persian cavalry, seeing Alexander, advancing quickly, began to flee with all their might. Though he pressed close upon them in pursuit, most of them escaped; but a few, whose horses were fatigued by the flight, were slain, others were taken prisoners, horses and all. From these they ascertained that Darius with a large force was not far off. For the Indians who were conterminous with the Bactrians, as also the Bactrians themselves and the Sogdianians had come to the aid of Darius, all being under the command of Bessus, the viceroy of the land of Bactria. They were accompanied by the Sacians, a Scythian tribe belonging to the Scythians who dwell in Asia.[1] These were not subject to Bessus, but were in alliance with Darius. They were commanded by Mavaces, and were horse-bowmen. Barsaentes, the viceroy of Arachotia, led the Arachotians[2] and the men who were called mountaineer Indians. Satibarzanes, the viceroy of Areia, led the Areians,[3] as did Phrataphernes the Parthians, Hyrcanians, and Tapurians,[4] all of whom were horsemen. Atropates commanded the Medes, with whom were arrayed the Cadusians, Albanians, and Sacesinians.[5] The men who dwelt near the Red Sea[6] were marshalled by Ocondobates, Ariobarzanes, and Otanes. The Uxians and Susianians[7] acknowledged Oxathres son of Aboulites as their leader, and the Babylonians were commanded by Boupares. The Carians who had been deported into central Asia, and the Sitacenians[8] had been placed in the same ranks as the Babylonians. The Armenians were commanded by Orontes and Mithraustes, and the Cappadocians by Ariaoes. The Syrians from the vale between Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon (i.e. Coele-Syria) and the men of Syria which lies between the rivers[9] were led by Mazaeus. The whole army of Darius was said to contain 40,000 cavalry, 1,000,000 infantry, and 200 scythe-bearing chariots.[10] There were only a few elephants, about fifteen in number, belonging to the Indians who live this side of the Indus.[11] With these forces Darius had encamped at Gaugamela, near the river Bumodus, about 600 stades distant from the city of Arbela, in a district everywhere level;[12] for whatever ground thereabouts was unlevel and unfit for the evolutions of cavalry, had long before been levelled by the Persians, and made fit for the easy rolling of chariots and for the galloping of horses. For there were some who persuaded Darius that he had forsooth got the worst of it in the battle fought at Issus, from the narrowness of the battle-field; and this he was easily induced to believe.

    Katania Clan History

    Katania (कटाणिया)
    Katania (कटाणिया) gotra Jats live in in Rajasthan.
    Katania Gotra probably originated from Catanes of Greeks, who rebelled against Alexander in 327 BC in the land of the Paraetacenians and killed, as mentioned by Arrian. [1]


    History

    Catanese is an Italian surname, meaning literally "Catanian", "from the city of Catania" or "from the province of Catania". Catania is the capital of the Province of Catania, and is the second-largest city in Sicily and the tenth in Italy.[2]

    Greek History

    Arrian[3] writes....After Capture of the Rock of Chorienes or Sogdian Rock (The Anabasis of Alexander:4.18, 4.21) in 327 BC...Alexander the Great himself went to Bactra; but sent Craterus with 600 of the cavalry Gompanions and his own brigade of infantry as well those of Polysperchon, Attalus, and Alcetas, against Catanes and Austanes, who were the only rebels still remaining in the land of the Paraetacenians. This term is a Persian word meaning mountaineers. The tribe mentioned here lived between the rivers Oxus and Jaxartes, on the borders of Bactria and Sogdiana. A sharp battle was fought with them in which Craterus was victorious; Catanes being killed there while fighting, and Austanes being captured and brought to Alexander. Of the barbarians with them 120 horsemen and about 1,500 foot soldiers were killed.

    Guran or Gurain Clan History

    Guran (गुरन) Gurain (गुराइण) is a gotra of Jats found in Rajasthan and Haryana. They were supporters of Tomar Confederacy.

    Arrian writes.... that Alexander advanced into the land of the Aspasians, Guraeans and Assacenians. These were tribes living in the north-west of the Punjab. Marching by a mountainous and rough road along the river called Choes, Probably the modern Kama, a tributary of the Cabul. He assaulted their cities which were situated on his route. He was himself wounded by a dart which penetrated through the breastplate into his shoulder. A sharp contest ensued; but Alexander won the battle.... Alexander then marched against the Assacenians, Passing through the land of the Guraeans, he crossed the river Guraeus, which gives its name to the land, with difficulty. Guraeus River is a tributary of the Cophen (Kabul River), probably what is now called the Lundye, running parallel with the Kama. When these people perceived Alexander approaching, they durst not take their stand for a battle in close array, but dispersed one by one to their various cities with the determination of preserving these by resolute fighting. (Ref Arrian:The Anabasis of Alexander/4b , Ch.23,25)

    Guraeans may be the ancestors of Guran people.

    Ahlawat, Joon, Auhlan, Pehlan , Brahman Jat clans History


    दलीप सिंह अहलावत लिखते हैं: अहलावत गोत्र के महान् पुरुषों के नाम से ओहलाण,पेहलाण, ब्रह्माण, जून और माड़े गोत्र चले हैं। अतः इनकी रगों में एक ही धारा का खून बह रहा है। कुछ लेखकों ने जून गोत्र को अहलावत, ओहलाण, पेहलाण, ब्रह्माण गोत्रों का सौतेला भाई (मौसी का बेटा) लिखा है और दन्त्तकथा भी यही प्रचलित है। हमारे लेख से स्पष्ट है कि जून गोत्र भी इन चारों गोत्रों का रक्त भाई या एक ही वंश का है। ( जाट वीरों का इतिहास: दलीप सिंह अहलावत, पृष्ठ.207)

    It is clear from this statement of Dalip Singh Ahlawat that Ahlawat, Joon, Auhlan, Pehlan , Brahman Jat Gotras are related.

    Ram Sarup Joon (History of the Jats/Chapter V, p.69-70, S.No.2) writes that ... Ahlawat and Joon gotras belong to that branch of Solanki which ruled over Kaliani and Watapi (Vatapi) in South India from 5th to 12th century AD. They had a staunch enemy i.e. Raja Rajendra Chol. He attacked them with an army of one hundred thousand strong during the reign of seventh Raja Satish Raj Solanki and seized a major part of the kingdom.


    In 1052 AD a new ruler of this dynasty came forth to redeem the old loss. His name was Ahumal and was titles Sameshwar I and Raj Raja. He attacked the Chol kingdom with a large army, conquered it and married Umang Devi daughter of the Chol king. He made Bangi his new capital. This kingdom existed astride the Tunga Bhadra River. Ahumal died in 1068 AD. His dynasty is called Ahlawat. After several generations Bisaldev of this dynasty migrated towards north and settled down in village Nanhakhera (Seria) near Dighal in district Rohtak. He had four sons Olha, Ahlawat, Birmhan and Pehlawat An ancient pond (Birmala) named after Birmhan (Brebhan) is still famous for its sanctity in village Seria (Rohtak). Four new gotras (clans) originated after their names and are found settled in 30 villages around Dighal. Todd and Tarikhe Gujran have recorded this event in "Gazetteer of Rohtak" by Abdul Malik.


    Aujhlan
    (औझलान)
    , according to Bhim Singh Dahiya, (Jats the Ancient Rulers (A clan study)/Jat Clan in India, p.279, s.n.80 ) are the descendants of Ujjihana of Panini. They are to be compared with the Aujhlan clan of Jats. Ojh of Central Asia is the Indian name Ujjihana and Ojhlan/Ojala of present Jat clan. (Jats the Ancient Rulers (A clan study)/Appendices/Appendix II,p.325, s.n.107) Aujhlan (औझलान) is variant of Ujhlan (उझलान) like putra (पुत्र) changes to Pautra (पौत्र) (उ→औ) in Sanskrit. Uxian → Ujian (x→j) → Ujiana → Ujhiana → Ujihana (उझिहाना) → Ujjihana (उज्झिहाना)

    Uxians
    - Ujhlan is variant of Uxians of Greeks, who were defeated in December 331 BC by Alexander the Great in his Persian Campaign in the Battle of the Uxian Defile.

    Jun /Zun (जून) is a gotra of Jats found in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh in India. They are Ionian of Greek writers in Afghanistan. (An Inquiry Into the Ethnography of Afghanistan:H. W. Bellew, p.55 ) Joon are derivatives of Ahlawats. H.A. Rose [11] considers Zun = Jun, the aborigines of Sialkot. (A glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province By H.A. Rose Vol II/C, p.174,f.n.)

    Pellan - Pehlan or Pellan (पेल्लान) are derivatives of Ahlawats. According to Arrian, the historian of Alexander the Great, The inhabitants of Pella were called Pellaean/Pellanians. (The Anabasis of Alexander , 3.5,6.28 )

    Pélla is an ancient city located in Central Macedonia, Greece, best known as the historical capital of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and birthplace of Alexander the Great.

    Pellan Jat clan may get name from these people.

    We find that these Jat clans have their origins in Greek History. There is a need to further research detailed history.

    Ahlawat - The Aeolians inhabitant of Aeolis, an area that comprised the west and northwestern region of Asia Minor, mostly along the coast. These were subjugated by Alexander. Aeolis was an ancient district on the western coast of Asia Minor. It extended along the Aegean Sea from the entrance of the Hellespont (now the Dardanelles) south to the Hermus River (now the Gediz River). It was named for the Aeolians, some of whom migrated there from Greece before 1000 BC. Aeolis was, however, an ethnological and linguistic enclave rather than a geographical unit.

    Aeolians
    may have given name to Ahlawat clan.

    There is need to further research the history of Greeks and areas ruled by them in Anotolia. Map of Anatolia ancient regions is given below. We may find origin of many Jat clans here.

    Pattar Jat clan origin

    Patar (पातड़/ पातर) Pattar (पात्र) Patter (पात्र) (पत्र)
    is gotra of Jats found in Haryana.

    Origin


    Patara was a flourishing maritime and commercial city on the south-west coast of Lycia on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey near the modern small town of Gelemiş, in Antalya Province. Pattar clan probably originated from Patara of Antalya Province of Turkey .

    Arrian (The Anabasis of Alexander/1b, Ch.24) writes...Alexander himself marched towards Lycia and Pamphylia, in order to gain command of the coast-land, and by that means render the enemy's fleet useless. The first place on his route was Hyparna, a strong position, having a garrison of Grecian mercenaries; but he took it at the first assault, and allowed the Greeks to depart from the citadel under a truce. Then he invaded Lycia and brought over the Telmissians by capitulation; and crossing the river Xanthus, the cities of Pinara, Xanthus, Patara, and about thirty other smaller towns were surrendered to him.

    Xanthus
    was a variant of Jat in Central Asia. Xandii or Xanthii was term used by Strabo for people living on the banks of the Oxus, between Bactria, Hyrkania, and Khorasmia.Xanthii is a nasalised form of Iatii or Jatii. Xanthus is variant of Jats in Greek. Xanthus is the Greek variant of Jat and its latinazed form is Xanthos as shown in Map. They also gave name to the River called Xanthus River.

    We find names of places and persons in Greek History which contain Antal. These may help to trace root of the Antal clan.

    Antalkidas (died c. 367 BC), son of Leon, was an ancient Greek soldier, politician, and diplomat from Sparta.

    Antalya is the fifth-most populous city in Turkey and the capital of its eponymous province. Located on Anatolia's flourishing southwest coast bordered by the Taurus Mountains, Antalya is the largest Turkish city on the Mediterranean.

    In Indian History we find AntalJats in the Tomar Federation.

    Pandar Jat clan

    Pandar (पाण्डर)/(पांडर) Pander (पंडेर) Pinder (पिंडेर) is Gotra of Jats found in Rajasthan, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh.

    They are said to be descendants of Nagavanshi king Pandara (पाण्डर) /Pandaraka (पाण्डरक). (See - List of Naga Rajas)

    Pinara - Pinara was a large ancient city of Lycia not far from the western bank of the River Xanthos, homonymous with the ancient city of Xanthos (Jats in Greek). We know from ancient Greek texts that there was a cult of Pandarus, the Lycian hero of the Trojan War, in Pinara, which led some sources to conclude that he was a native of the city of Pinara.[1] Pandar Jats are descendants of Nagavanshi king Pandara (पाण्डर). (See - List of Naga Rajas).[2] This indicates the Pandara (पाण्डर)/Pandaraka (पाण्डरक) of ancient Indian sources was same as Pandarus, the Lycian hero of the Trojan War from Greek sources.

    Origin

    Limyra (in Greek Λιμύρα) was a small city in Lycia on the southern coast of Asia Minor, in the present-day Antalya Province of Turkey.

    History

    Limbar is variant of Nimbar. According to Jat historians (Dr Mahendra Singh Arya etc,: Ādhunik Jat Itihas, p. 260 ) Nimbar (निम्बड़) Jat gotra originated from Nagavanshi King named Nilabha (नीलाभ). Nilabha is name of Shiva. The word comes from Sanskrit language. "Nil" (pronounced as "neel" meaning blue & "abh" stands for "Abha" the light coming out. To save the world lord Shiva drank the poison "Haalahal" which came out from the ocean during "Saagar - Manthan". Shiva got his throat & whole body turned blue due to the poison.

    Jat clans originated from ancient Anatolia and present Turkey

    Turkey is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in Southwestern Asia and the Balkan region of Southeastern Europe.Turkey has been inhabited since Paleolithic times. At various points in its history, the region has been inhabited by diverse civilizations including the Assyrians, Greeks, Thracians, Phrygians, Urartians, and Armenians.

    The earliest recorded inhabitants of Anatolia were the Hattians and Hurrians, non-Indo-European peoples who inhabited central and eastern Anatolia, respectively, as early as ca. 2300 BC. Indo-European Hittites came to Anatolia and gradually absorbed the Hattians and Hurrians ca. 2000–1700 BC. The first major empire in the area was founded by the Hittites, from the 18th through the 13th century BC. The Assyrians conquered and settled parts of southeastern Turkey as early as 1950 BC until the year 612 BC.[10][11] Urartu re-emerged in Assyrian inscriptions in the 9th century BC as a powerful northern rival of Assyria. Following the collapse of the Hittite empire c. 1180 BC, the Phrygians, an Indo-European people, achieved ascendancy in Anatolia until their kingdom was destroyed by the Cimmerians in the 7th century BC. Starting from 714 BC, Urartu shared the same fate and dissolved in 590 BC, when it was conquered by the Medes. The most powerful of Phrygia's successor states were Lydia, Caria and Lycia.

    Starting around 1200 BC, the coast of Anatolia was heavily settled by Aeolian and Ionian Greeks. All of modern-day Turkey was conquered by the Persian Achaemenid Empire during the 6th century BC. The Greco-Persian Wars started when the Greek city states on the coast of Anatolia rebelled against Persian rule in 499 BC. The territory of Turkey later fell to Alexander the Great in 334 BC, which led to increasing cultural homogeneity and Hellenization in the area.

    Following Alexander's death in 323 BC, Anatolia was subsequently divided into a number of small Hellenistic kingdoms, all of which became part of the Roman Republic by the mid-1st century BC.
