The theory of the foreign origin of Gurjaras requires further scrutiny: -
I. It has been said that Rajputs were born on Mount Abu in the begining of 6th Century A.D. but from 500 A.D. to 1300 A.D. there was no community by the name of Rajputra or Rajput in India whereas Gurjar and Ahirs are mentioned even before Christ.
II. A Jat-Asur is mentioned in the book Mahabharat 3101 B.C. If a Kshatriya becomes Jat (illiterate) or Asur (non-believer) or thief (as per Chachnama) his origin will remain the same. However, we find a Jat king ruling at Takatpur in about 975 A.D. in Northren Sind.
III. Abhirs or Ahirs are well known to history. It is universally known that Sri Krishna was brought up by Baba Namd Ahir and his wife Yeshoda (3100B.C.). However, we find Ahir kings ruiling in Saurashtra side by side with the Gurjars.
IV. The Agni Kul (fire born) ruling families were Gurjars as per epigraphic and Antiquary records from 500 A.D. to 1300 A.D. During this whole period, they never called themselves fire-born. They always called themselves Brahm Kashtra. Raghava (Raghu) and Surya Vansh.
The groups of people are formed of old races with new names under different circumstances. Here I mean to say, the groups of ancient Kshtriyas, the Gurjars and Ahirs are older than the present groups of the Rajputs. Therefore, the Rajputs have no concern with Agni Kul legend. It is noteworthy that there is not at all the word Rajput found anywhere in the book Prithvi Raj Raso in which the legend is recorded.
V. Suppose, Gurjars were foreigners, After socalled conversion to Hinduism they are called Gurjar or Gujar till today, Suppose, their leaders were named Rajputs. Then how a Rajput can be superior to a Gurjar by origin when the forefather of the Rajput was a Gurjar before conversion.
VI. Hun is no doubt as sub-caste (tribe) of the Gurjar caste or race. The Gurjar race or caste consists of hundreds of gotras (sub-caste). Hun no doubt ruled some small principalities whereas the Gurjars established empires, of them four are famous to history and the Huns were their subordinate rulers, then how the Hun can be called the master of the Gurjars and Ahirs. Hun is a Sanskrit word denoting a person who does not listen to the opinion or advice of the others but acts upon his own wishes. Hun Mat a proverb is still in use meaning thereby the wisdom of an unruly. Hun tribe is mentioned in the Mahabharat, Puranas, in history of Guptas of Patna, and Palas of Bengal.
In the time of Gurjar Mihir Bhoj, Hun’s principality was that now called Mianwall district on the eastern bank of River Indus. In the book Mahabharats about 200
Kshatriyan tribes are mentioned in the Sub-Continent, of whom Chib, Hun, Dard, Shina (China or Channa) Dakh, Pakhtu and Kombed are described in the areas, south of Palmir and Oxus River. Kombel were in the West near the border of Iran who migrated inside the country in 10th century A.D., but all the other tribes under same name are living in those areas till today. The Huns in Hunza have lost their identity and are called Ismailies or Aghan Khani a sect of Shia Muslims. The Husns in other parts are a part and parcel of Indian society from ancient time to this day. Once one educated Nawarai Hun (in Gujrat Kathiawar) went to the house of Muslim saint namely Jahanyan Jahan
Gashat on his illness for consolation. In presence of many others. Nawarai Hun said as Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was the last prophet, so the Saint is last Saint. Thus Nawarai Hun praised the sant, meaning thereby that such a dignitied Saint would not be born in future. But one Syed Rajput Qatal at once issued fatwa. As you have accepted Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) the last prophet, so you have become a Muslim. If now you live as a Hindu, you are Murded-deserter of Islam whose punishment is death. To save his life Nawarai Hun fled to Feroze Tughlaq the king of Delhi. The Syed chased him. As soon as Nawarai Hun entered the Darbar (King’s Court) the Syed from behind struck him with sword and kiled him (Siyar-ul-Arifeen page159-160). The Son of Nawa Rai Hun founded a village Nawal after the name of his
father. The village Nawal exists today near Meerut city, where the descendants of Nawa Rai Hun live as a part (sub-caste) of the Gurjars. The family is famous for their
high position, prestige and dignity.
VII. Georgia was called Gurjistan by the Persians. It is merely a coincidence with the word Gurjar so is Khazer with Gujar. The words Gurjar and Gujar are the same.
Gujar is Prakrit form of the Sanskrit word Gurjar. Such as Brahman =, Bahman, Krishan = Kishan, Rajputra = Rajput etc., but Gurjistan and Khazer are two separate words, it is merely a tampering to connect these words with Gurjar of Gujjar. If such a philology is allowed in History then we can say England was the land of Ang, Saxsons of Britain were Sakesena of Bengal, Jut-land was so name by our jats and Argentina was discovered by Arjun, of Mahabhrats here.
An Arab historian ibn Khardadbah in his history book AI-Masalik-w-Al-Mamalik states: The tititle of the kings of Turkj, Tibet and Khazer is Khaqan. They are all the
descendants of Faridum. He further states in Hind, Balhara is the greatest of all kings, there are also, other kings such as, Chap, Tank, Juzae, Jaba, Brahma, Kamrup. He again writes Draham (coin) of Malikul- Juzer is Tatri.
Balhabra is Valbhi Eai, Juzar is Gurjar (In Arabic there is no G and P) Jaba is Chap, Kamrup is modern Assam. If read thoroughly the above statement pertains to seventh Century A.D. It is clear that Khazer and Gujar were quite different races.
