Thread: JATS in Sindh from the beginning of the Christian Era to c. 11 Century AD

  1. #41
    Regarding Jartika/Jartaka....I think it used for Jarta / Jats in the

    same way as Madraka .....was used for Madra which in turn was used for Meds and both Jats and Meds are recorded as oldest tribes of Sindh by Persian via Majmul-ul-Twarikh which quoted even older Sanskrit texts to base its narrations .

    Same thing was noted by Arabs who reported Jats and Meds as the two sections of Sindh and doesn't find anything about Gurjars and Rajputs.

    I don't know whether it is mentioned as a clan or a section of Bahilka in orignal references.

    Sankala or Sialkote as referred to be the place of Vahikas and river named Apaga where section of the Bahikas, known as the Jartikas lived finds place in Jat History. Sankala is Salipura founded by Salivahan mentioned in Inscription No I: Kanswa Inscription of Maharaja Shalinder of year 409 AD which has been discussed in great detail in other thread. I quote again -

    "The fame of Raja Jit I now shall tell, by whose valour the lands of SALPOORA are preserved. The fortunes of Raja Jit are as flames of fire devouring his foe. The mighty warrior JIT SALINDRA is beautiful in person, and from the strength of his arm esteemed the first amongst the tribes of the mighty; make resplendent as does the moon the earth, the dominions of SALPOORI.

    From the Annals of Jaisalmer by James Tod we compile the genealogy of King Salivahana

    Hukum Singh Panwar has given the ancestry of Bharatpur rulers starting from 1. Yadu. Shini is at S.No. 38, Krishna at S.No. 43 and Vajra at S.No. 46. From Naba at S.No. 47 onward we follow James Tod who has based on records of Brahman Sukhdharma of Mathura.

    1. Yadu → → → → 34. Andhaka → 35. Bhajmana → 36. Viduratha → 37. Shura → 38. Shini → 39. Bhoja → 40. Hardika → 41. Devamidha → 42. Vasudeva → 43. Krishna → 44. Pradyumna → 45. Aniruddha → 46. Vajra →

    47. Naba → 48. Prithibahu → 49. Bahubal (w.Kamlavati Puar) → 50. Bahu → 51. Subahu → 52. Rijh → 53. Raja Gaj (founded Ghazni in Yudhishthira 3008= BC 93) → 54. Salivahana (S.72 = AD 16)

    We get a date here when Salivahana founded Salivahanpur on (S.72 = AD 16)

    Raja Gaj founded Ghazni. On Sunday, the 3d of Bysāk, the spring season (Vasant), the Rohini Nikhitra, and Samvat Dharmaraja (Yudhishthira) 3008 (=93 BC), Raja Gaj seated on the throne of Ghazni. Raja Gaj invaded Kashmir ; and married the daughter of its prince, by whom he had a son, called Salivahan. When this child had attained the age of twelve, tidings of another invasion came from Khorasan. Raja Gaj sent his family and kin, and on pretence of a pilgrimage to Jwalamukhi, with the prince Salivahan, to Punjab, where he fixed on a spot with abundance of water, and having collected his clansmen around him, he laid the foundation of a city which he named after himself, Salivahanpura (Salpura), on Sunday, the 8th of the month of Bhadoon of S. 72 (=16 AD). The surrounding Bhomias attended, and acknowledged his supremacy. Salivahan conquered the whole region of the Punjab.[James Tod: Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, Volume II, Annals of Jaisalmer, p.200]

    Descendants of Salivahan

    Salivbahan had fifteen sons, who all became Rajas : viz., Balund, Rasaloo, Dhurmungud, Vacha, Roopa, Soondur, Lekh, Juskurn, Naima, Maut, Neepak, Gangeou, Jugeou ; all of whom, by the strength of their own arms, established themselves in independence. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.200]

    Raja Baland succeeded. He had seven sons : Bhatti, Bhupati, Kullar, Jinj, Sarmor, Bhynsrecha, Mangreo. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.201]

    Raja Bhatti succeeded his father Raja Baland. He conquered fourteen princes, and added their fortunes to his own. Among his effects, he reckoned twenty-four thousand mules laden with treasure ; sixty-thousand horse, and innumerable foot. As soon as he mounted the gadi, he assembled all his forces at Lahore preparatory to the teeka-dour destined against Beerbhan Bhagel, lord of Kanakpur. Beerbhan fell in the battle which ensued, at the head of forty thousand men. With Bhatti, the patronymic was changed, and the tribe thenceforth was distinguished by his name. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202]

    Bhupati had a son, Chakito, from whom is descended the Chakito (Chagitai) tribe.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202]

    Kullar, third son of Raja Baland, had eight sons, whose descendants are designated Kullar. Their names were, Seodas, Ramdas, Asso, Kistna, Samoh, Gango, Jesso, Bhago ; almost all of whom became Moosulmauns. They are a numerous race, inhabiting the mountainous countries west of the river, and notorious robbers.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202]

    Jinj, the fourth son, had seven sons ; Champo, Gokul, Mehraj, Hansa, Bhadon, Rasso, Jaggo, all whose issue bore the name of Jinj and in like manner did the other sons become the patriarchs of tribes. Doubtless the junction of Jinj with that of Johya, another numerous tribe, formed the Jenjuheh of Babar ; the Johyas of the Bhatti annals, now known only by name, but whose history forms a volume. The sons of Jinj have left numerous traces — Jenjian on the Garah ; Jinjinialli in the desert, &c. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202] Jinja and Jinjwaria are Jat clans originated from Jinj.

    Raja Bhatti had two sons, Mangal Rao and Masur Rao.

    Mangal Rao succeeded, but his fortune was not equal to that of his fathers. Dhoondi, king of Ghazni, with a mighty force, invaded Lahore; nor did Mangul Rao oppose him, but with his eldest son fled into the wilds on the hanks of the river. The foe then invested Salivahanpur, where resided the family of the Raja.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.202]

    Masur Rao escaped and fled to the Lakhi Jungle. There being only a cultivating peasantry in this tract, he overcame them, and became master of the country. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203]

    Masur Rao had two sons, Abhe Rao and Saran Rao. The elder, Abhe Rao, brought the whole Lakhi Jungle under his control, and his issue, which multiplied, became famous as the Abhoria Bhattis. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203]

    Saran Rao quarreled with and separated from his brother, and his issue descended to the rank of cultivators, and are well known as the Saran Jats. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203]

    Mangal Rao, the son of Bhatti, and who abandoned his kingdom, had six sons : Majam Rao, Kullarsi, Moondraj, Seoraj, Phool, Kewala.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.203]

    Thus the offspring of Kullar-rai became the Kularia Jats. [Annals of Jaisalmer, p.204]

    Those of Moondraj and Seoraj, the Moond and Seora Jats.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.204]

    The younger boys, Phool and Kewala, who were passed off as a barber (nai), and a potter (kumhar), fell into that class.[Annals of Jaisalmer, p.204]
