<I>Posted: 5/12/2004 9:45:46 AM</I><br>Dear Chaudhary Ashraf Gujjar,I hope the following information shall help you. At the time of Gurjar Pratihars the capital of India Delhi was called as Meharauli ( India including Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. at that time) . This is named after the most powerful king of Gurjar Pratihar Dynasty, Mihirbhoj Pratihar. It is made by two words Mihir and Avli means the home for Mihirbhoj.

That is the reason we still find a cluster of Gujjar Tanwar villages near Meharauli and local MLAs won from that particular assembly seats were always Gujjar Tanwars including Mr. Balram Singh Tanwar and Mr. Braham Singh Tanwar. The last king of this Dynasty was Anang Pal Tanwar in whose name the village Anang Pur is situated near Surajkund. Mr. Avtar Singh Bhadana (MP) And Mr. Kartar Singh Bhadana ( A minister in Haryana Government) belong to the same village. The Suraj Kund was also built By Suraj Pal Tanwar of this dynasty. The last king of this Dynasty Anang Pal Tanwar the Maternal Grand Father of Prithviraj Chauhan had no son and during one of his trip to Haridwar to have a bath in Holy Ganges he left his capital in the hands of Prithviraj Chauhan ( the son of his daughter)who on his return did not allow him enter his kingdom and with 400 of his trusted body guards Anang Pal retired to Chambal valley but his followers used to engage Prithviraj Chauhan in Guerilla warfare but could never get back their kingdom back from Prithviraj Chauhan. After the end of Prithviraj Chauhan rule they kept hitting at at Delhi by looting the Sarkari Kazanas and probably this is the reason the Chambal valley is still infested by dacoits who like to be called as baghis (Rebels). Presently the Tanwars (Tomars, Toonwars) are called as Rajputs Thakurs and Pratihars (Padihars,Padiyar,Parihars)) are called as gujjars in that region. AP Singh Email:pratihars@hotmail.com |

The City of Bhopal the capital of MP in India was built by Gujjars Pratihara king Bhojpal. See the following information taken from authentic historical records for proof alongwith the details of the coin found from the mint of the Great King Bhoja or Mihir Bhoja whose vassals Gujjar Tomaras founded the city of Dhillika (Present capital of India) is shown as the incarnation of Vishnu on the coin.The picture of the coin can be sent on request to pratihars@hotmail.com
By ninth century, the supremacy of northern India was taken over by another illustrious dynasty called Pratiharas which claimed descent from Lakhamana, brother of Lord Rama. The greatest king of pratihara dynasty was Bhoja I who took control of Kanyakubj (modern Kannauj) in 836 AD and created an empire which was similar in size of his predecessor, Harsha-Vardhana. He built a city Bhojpal (modern Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh state) which was named after him. He was successful general and managed to defeat many of his powerful neighbours including the Gaudas of Bengal. Like Harsha-Vardhana, Bhoja too was a great patron of art and literature and famous poet Rajashekhar was in his court. He received foreign travellers like Sulaiman and Al Masudi who left account of their travels to India. Both talk highly of his superior cavalry and his fine administration.
Bhoja I
836-885 AD
Imperial Pratihars
silver drachm
Obverse: Aadivaraha, Anthropoid boar representing incarnation of Vishnu
Reverse: Fire altar and two attendants (Stylized), legends in Brahmi
Weight: 3.9 gm
MNW#336-348
Pratihara dynasty ruled for another 200 years although their dominion was never to the extent of during Bhoja's rule. In 1018, Kannauj then ruled by Rajyapala Pratihara was sacked by Mahmud of Gazni and that was beginning of the end of this illustrious dynasty of north India. Shown above is a coin minted by the great Pratihara king Bhoja I. The obverse show Aadivaraha, boar like incarnation of Lord Vishnu while reverse of the coin show stylized fire altar and two attendant. The deity Aadivaraha is supposedly holding earth by his snout. The vigour and strength of Aadivaraha's image on these coin amply show die engraver's knowledge of scultptures of that era. Altar and attendant motif was borrowed from Sassanaian coins which possibly came in India due to trade from Sassanian ruled Persia. The coins of Bhoja were immencely popular in medieval period and were extensively copied by his successors. All the kings of Pratihara dynasty minted exact same coin which were introduced by Bhoja I. Although the coins of later rulers of Pratihara dynasty were more stylized and heavily debased.

Dear Younas, While finding our roots we have to go through the historical facts very carefully. Based on the following historical records I am of the following opinion. The copy of authentic proof is also copied along with reference sites. 1.By the end of the 10th century, the Pratihara feudatories--Cauhans (Cahamanas), Candellas (Chandelas), Guhilas, Kalacuris, Paramaras, and Caulukyas (also called Solankis)--were asserting their independence, although the last of the Pratiharas survived until 1027. See Encylopeadia Britannica at (http://www.kat.gr/kat/History/Ancient/India5.htm).or my next mail. This proves that Guhilas or Guhilots were our Feudatories. 2. God Devnarayan was a born Gujjar ( Father Baghrawat Chauhan Sawai Bhoj and Mother was the daughter of the king of Malwa of Gotra Khatana). It is historical blunder to call everybody as rajput though the term did not exist before 14th. century. Refer Rana Sanga's Devra (Temple), Chittorgarh. Situated south of Shringar Chanwari, this small temple was built by Sanga (Maharana SANGRAM SINGH I) for worshipping Bhagwan Devanarayan; it is believed the Maharana, to sanctify his armour, used to wear it in this temple before going into battle. Web site www.mewarindia.com/ency/ran.htmlAs per our hindu culture Khastryas worship only our own forefathers as god. This Proves that Guhilas were not only fuedatories of Gurjar Pratihars but related by blood. 3.Gurjar Pratihars Built small states and forts all over India like Nagda ( Nagdhara), Kuchaman Fort and Saloombra: For example see Kuchaman Fort at www.60kph.com/interact/drovelake.htmAmong Rajasthan’s several such inhabitations, Kuchaman is not just another fort township. It can offer a traveler a lot to see, experience and enjoy apart from comfort. The majestic fort built atop a steep hill is an architectural beauty and most famous for its water management provisions. How the fort taps the wind-power for cooling purposes is also worth viewing. It was built by the kings of Gurjar Pratihar dynasty for the Kuchaman’s strategic position near Sambhar salt lake. They controlled the salt trade for almost as much as 200 years and became rich until they were vanquished by Chauhans. Then came Gaurs followed by Rathores who are still powerful there. 4. The chief of some of these states used to be called by the name of their state like saloombra ( Head of Salumbar) and not by their Gotras. See Annal and antiquities of Rajasthan by Col Todd page 261. Some of the heads of these chowkies were defeated by others after the fall of the Imperial Gurjaras and the title was taken by them. For Example see How the Guhilas, Guhilots became Rana and Sisodia.http://www.mewarindia.com/ency/ran.html Sisodia, the major clan of Mewar since Maharana HAMIR SINGH I (1326-1364). Prior to that, since Guhil (569-586) founded the dynasty, the original Guhilot family ruled Mewar. However, in the 12th century, Chittor came under attack and the Mewar capital was relocated at AHAR. It was during this period that there was a FAMILY SPLIT. For reasons unknown, the breakaway occurred possibly towards the end of the reign of Rawal KARAN (RAN) SINGH I (1158-1168). Two of his sons, Mahap and Rahap, quit Ahar, possibly in anger that another son, KSHEM SINGH had been declared Karan's heir. Mahap established a small, independent kingdom at Dungarpur. Rahap defeated Mokal, the Parihara Prince of Mandor at SISODA. He established a junior branch of the Guhilot family at Sisoda, naming his clan Sisodias after the town, and taking the title of 'Rana'. www.mewarindia.com/ency/ran.html5. The Title Rana belonged to only Imperial gujaras and the chiefs related with blood used to be called as Rana of Salumbar, Rana of Nagraha, but within the imperial Gurjars it was fondly as saloombra (The Rana of salumbar), Nagdi (Nagri and now a days written as Nagar) (The rana of Nagda). |

For salumber gujar younas with regards.
A copy of the historical record taken from the Encylopeadia Britannica at website(http://www.kat.gr/kat/History/Ancient/India5.htm) as a proof in support of my statement made in my earlier mail.
India
750-c. 1200
Northern India
The tripartite struggle
The 8th century saw a struggle for control over the central Ganges Valley, focusing on Kannauj, among the Gurjara-Pratihara, the Rastrakuta, and the Pala dynasties. The Pratiharas rose to power in the Avanti-Jalaor region and used western India as a base. The Calukyas fell about 753 to one of their own feudatories, the Rastrakutas under Dantidurga, who established a dynasty. The Rastrakuta interest in Kannauj probably centred on the trade routes from the Ganges Valley. This was the first occasion on which a power based in the Deccan made a serious bid for a pivotal position in northern India. From the east the Palas also participated in the competition. They are associated with Pundravardhana (Bogra district), and their first ruler, Gopala (c. 750-770), included Vanga in his kingdom and gradually extended his control to the whole of Bengal.
Vatsaraja, a Pratihara ruler who came to the throne about 778, controlled eastern Rajasthan and Malava. His ambition to take Kannauj brought him into conflict with the Pala king, Dharmapala (c. 770-810), who had by this time advanced up the Ganges Valley. The Rastrakuta king Dhruva (c. 780-793) attacked each in turn and claimed to have defeated them. This initiated the so-called tripartite struggle. Dharmapala soon retook Kannauj and put his nominee on the throne. The Rastrakutas were preoccupied with problems in the south. Vatsaraja's successor, Nagabhata II (c. 793-833), reorganized Pratihara power, attacked Kannauj, and for a short while reversed the situation. However, soon afterward he was defeated by the Rastrakuta king Govinda III (793-814), who in turn had to face a confederacy of southern powers that kept him involved in Deccan politics, leaving northern India to the Pratiharas and Palas. Bhoja I (c. 836-885) revived the power of the Pratiharas by bringing Kalañjara (Banda district), and possibly Kannauj as well, under Pratihara control. Bhoja's plans to extend the kingdom, however, were thwarted by the Palas and the Rastrakutas. More serious conflict with the latter ensued during the reign of Krishna II (c. 878-914).
An Arab visitor to western India, the merchant Sulayman, referred to the kingdom of Juzr (which is generally identified as Gurjara) and its strong and able ruler, who may have been Bhoja. Of the successors of Bhoja, the only one of significance was Mahipala (c. 908-942), whose relationship with the earlier king remains controversial. Rajasekhara, a renowned poet at his court, implies that Mahipala restored the kingdom to its original power, but this may be an exaggeration. By the end of the 10th century, the Pratihara feudatories--Cauhans (Cahamanas), Candellas (Chandelas), Guhilas, Kalacuris, Paramaras, and Caulukyas (also called Solankis)--were asserting their independence, although the last of the Pratiharas survived until 1027.
Meanwhile Devapala (c. 810-850) was reasserting Pala authority in the east and, he claimed, in the northern Deccan. The end of the 9th century, however, saw the decline of the Pala kingdom, with feudatories in Kamarupa (modern Assam) and Utkala (Orissa) taking independent titles. Pala power revived during the reign of Mahipala (c. 988-1038), although its stronghold now was Bihar rather than Bengal. Further attempts to recover the old Pala territories were made by Ramapala, but Pala power gradually declined. There was a brief revival of power in Bengal under the Sena dynasty (c. 1070-1289).
In the Rastrakuta kingdom, Amoghavarsa (c. 814-878) faced a revolt of officers and feudatories but managed to survive and reassert Rastrakuta power despite intermittent rebellions. Campaigns in the south against Vengi and the Gangas kept Amoghavarsa preoccupied and prevented him from participating in northern politics. The Rastrakuta capital was moved to Manyakheta (Malkhed, in Andhra Pradesh), doubtlessly to facilitate southern involvements, which clearly took on more important dimensions at this time. Sporadic campaigns against the Pratiharas, the Eastern Calukyas, and the Colas (Cholas), the new power of the south, continued (see below The Deccan and the south: The Colas). Indra III (914-927) captured Kannauj, but, with mounting political pressures from the south, his control over the north was inevitably short-lived. The reign of Krishna III (c. 939-968) saw a successful campaign against the Colas, a matrimonial alliance with the Gangas, and the subjugation of Vengi. Rastrakuta power declined suddenly, however, after the reign of Indra, and this was fully exploited by the feudatory Taila.
Taila II (973-997), who traced his ancestry to the earlier Calukyas of Vatapi, ruled a small part of Bijapur. Upon the weakening of Rastrakuta power, he defeated the king, declared his independence, and founded what has come to be called the Later Calukya dynasty. The kingdom included southern Karnataka, Konkan, and the territory as far north as the Godavari. By the end of the 10th century, the Later Calukyas clashed with the ambitious Colas. The Calukyas' capital was subsequently moved north to Kalyani (in Bidar). Campaigns against the Colas took a more serious turn during the reign of Somesvara I (1043-68), with alternating defeat and victory. The Later Calukyas, however, by and large retained control over the western Deccan despite the hostility of the Colas and of their own feudatories. In the middle of the 12th century, however, a feudatory, Bijjala (1156-67) of the Kalacuri dynasty, usurped the throne at Kalyani. The last of the Calukya rulers, Somesvara IV (1181-c. 1189), regained the throne for a short period, after which he was overthrown by a feudatory of the Yadava dynasty.

Thank You AP, you have enhanced my knowledge on Gurjars. There were and are people who willingly distorted Gurjar history because Gurjars never allowed submissive behavour and resited and retaliated every move of the enemy. There was time particularly after Mohd Ghaznavi when Gurjars were loosing control over the political map of India. Zealous of Gurjars behavour and courage, some other castes spied for Muslim invaders and even to Britishers and every move of Gujrars against these foreigners, were discussed in the enemy camps. Because these anti-Gurjar people wanted to grab the Gurjar lands. There is one example : A Gurjar (khatana gotra) south of Delhi caught an Firiangi (english man) and engaged him whole day in the field during summer season. In the evening a Rajput saw and requested to Khatana Gurjar to release that Gora Saheb. That English man went straight to Delhi and reported the matter. Next day whole land of 5 khatana villages were registered in the name of that Rajput. During the passage of time these gurjars got their land only in exchange of money. There are several stories like this. It is true that politically and economically Gurjars are far behind of Jaat, Ahirs and Brahims. Gurjars fought for the country and got nothing. Treacherous people are ruling this country. Alas!! Gurjars are nowhere in the modern history written by treaterous people of India. This is like the story of Prithviraj Chauhan and Mohd Ghori and Ghanavi. O brave and patriotic people of India, awake, awake, awake. Fight the enemy and do good of India my countrymen. JAI HIND

Hi Harish,
Here is some more information for you.
The main Gujjar Gotras are Pratihars,Solankis, Chauhans Chawras, Chandellas and Tanwar, Dhama, etc. and others are their braches and sub branches. The descendents of these clans are Hindus as well Muslims including Rajputs of both religions.
The Gotras having the title of Rana like Bhadana, Kasana, Adhana, Harshana, Chaprana, Salumbra ( Rana of Salumber, Salumber is place in Rajasthan), Nagdee called Nagar (Rana of Nagda, Nagda is a place in MP of very strategic importance during those days to control the trade route of Salt. This place is also called as Nagraha or serpentine route), Khatana, are mostly Gujjar Pratihars. This is due to the fact that only the overlords were called as Rana and their queens as Ranis. Later this title was also used by other Gujjar clans like Chauhans of Ghoga Bapa fame ( like Kalsana)and Guhilas ( a branch of Gujjar Solankis of Patan Gujrat of Bapa Rawal, Maharana Sanga and Maharan Pratap fame) after defeating some small Pratihars kingdoms in located in Rajasthan much later than 1036 AD after the fall of Pratihar kingdom kannauj to Muslim invaders.
It was not Gaznavid raids which blown over Gujjar Pratihars kingdoms but the infighting among various Gujjar clans like Chauhans, Chandellas, Parmars,Chalukyas (Solankis), Chawras and Tanwars.
The second reasons that there was very little in Afghanistan in the place of Gaznavis,and Ghoris similar to Mongolia to attract Gujjar conquerors like MihirBhoj Pratihar, Sidraj Jaisingh Solanki and Kumarpal Solanki, as there is little today to lure builders of factories and high-rises. This reason gave enough time for Gaznavis and Ghoris to gain strength and to wait for right opportunity to attack during the reign of weak Gujjar rulers.
The Kingdom of the Pratiharas were divided into various principalities of various of Gujjar clans like Patan (Gujrat) was under the Chalukyas, Ajmer by Chauhans, the Bundelkhand by Chandellas, Chittor by Guhilas, Malwa by Parmars and Non-Gujjar Fuedatrories of Pratihars who became independent were Kachhaghal (Kachwaha) of Gwalior and Kalachuris and Chedis of central India.
The process of the disintegration of the Pratihara empire continued , by the 10th Century AD the empire shrunk into a small kingdom. In 1018AD when Mahmud Ghaznavi invaded Kannauj the ruler Rajapala decided not to face him but fled the city. This caused resentment in the Chandela ruler Gauda, who sent his son Vidydhar to invade Kannauj. He defeated and killed Rajyapala but placed Trilochanpala Rajyapala's son on the throne. The last ruler of the dynasty was Jasapala who ruled up to 1036 AD before Pratihara dynasty came to an end.

There is a place in north Bengal Pratirajpur named after Gurjar Pratihars. This also shows that the boundries of Gujjar kingdom were up to Gujrat to Bengal and Sindh to Karnataka. This fact is recorded in an inscription pillar found in Dinajpur (now in Bangladesh)of Gurjar Pratihar king Mahendra Pal, son of king Mihir Bhoja.

Hi Ashok,
I would certainly inform you when I get some information about your gotra. Most likely you may belong to Pratihar branch of Gujjars. But it may be from Gujjar Chauhan branch or Guhil branch ( of Solnki Stock). Like Kalsana branch of Gujjars are also Rana but of Chauhan clan. in case you can provide me more information reagrding your ancestors that would help.
Regards.

Hi All Gurjars, Hello AP Singh Ji..... I am from a village called Bandhwari, (Delhi-Gurgaon Border, Right on the Gurgaon-Faridabad)highay) But According to my parents and Grand Parents, we are originally from Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. We Shifted to a place named Dadri (UP) and then finally moved to Haryana. There are two-three villages after my surname "Harsana" . One of these villages is in Sonipat named "Harsana Kalan" and the other is in Rajsthan named "Harsana Malcha." Please find out something about our Surname in history Although I have read a lot of books on Gurjar History But I couldnt anything find apart from two three lines saying "harsanas are the childs of Harishchandra" Now I am not sure which Harishchandra was that?  ? Because there were more than three Harishcahndras in the History One was Satyavadi Raja Harishchandra, Other was the Pratihaar King of Mandor and the last one was also at the same time ruling near kannauj with the name of Harishchandra Brahman(-gurjar-?)pratihar clan. After seeing your deep knowlidge I am sure that you will solve this mystery. My parents told me that Harsana is considered as a vey pure and high level Gotra in Gurjars, They are very particular in customs related to marriage- and Death Etc. Reagards Ashok Harsana |
