Rajputs of UP and Uttaranchal

Feel free to ask me questions that might help identifying your rajput clan. By providing your original village and details of any migrations, we might be able to bucket you in the right grouping.

Hi, though my mother's family knows it came from Toda village in rajasthan, all my father's family knows is that they came from this village (?) called Shahpur. We are chauhans (Gotra vats/ vachhas) and recently a bunch of my cousins discovered a very old log in my late grandfather's books, which holds entries related to property our family held in shahpur. The log / diary is nearly 200 years old (dates 1824)and, of course, we are not interested in a treasure hunt. But it sparked our curiosity and we asked my dad and uncles if they had any idea about it. They claim to have heard from the family poet (the village bhaat) about the family's migration from shahpur when the neighbouring rajah sent his army to annex shahpur from my family. It is said that the family took on the gotra vats as their surname to camouflage themselves amongst the brahmins of haryana and confuse the rajah who was out to erase the family.
Can you help us locate our roots?

Hi i belong to ghazipur district , as you may be aware there is a village called gahmar which boosts to be largest village in asia , and home to huge rajput community .
Thaey claim to be sakarwar rajputs , migrated from sikar after battle of khanua .
Could you throw some light on this theory

Thakur said...

Hi,

I have seen a number of the requests pertain to the identification of the classic roots of the particular rajput clan or gotra... Any infomation you can provide to substantiate some of the preliminary details will help me identify the exact Gotra/Kul/clan.
E.g. Anonymous from Shahpur - Can you provide additional details on districts/ names etc.. that will help serve as a reference point. If you could include your grandfathers log (verbatim) that would be helpful.
The Gakar Rajput - Please provide alternate spellings or location of birth/ family village.

Thakur said...

Rohit, Could you provide additional detail about the rajput constituents of "gahmar"?
Typically - East UP villages have a number of gotra's with one primary gotra. This is prmarily due to the migration and return of daughters - which creates the diversity in an otherwise stagnant poulation caused by our patriarchal approach.
The identity of any non-"sakarwar" rajput population will help shed liht on the real identity of the majority thakur class.

Hello sir, I am VIKAS SINGH from CHARAUHAN (POOREY PARSAN) Village in PARASPUR thaana in Gonda district. This place is located on COLONELGANJ to NAWABGANJ road. I am a KALHANS thakur. I found history of almost every rajput clan on internet but not of kalhans. Some elderly people say that we KALHANS belong from SISODIYA and our ancestors came from Rajasthan to U.P. At this particular place. But I want to know more details. If you could help me. That will be so kind of you sir.

Please tell me about Bhadauria Rajput

Namskaar/Khmagaani Prince Bhadauria.

Todd's almanac on tribes of India states - Rājpūt, Bhadauria

Rājpūt, Bhadauria.—An important clan who take their name from the village of Bhadāwar near Ater, south of the Jumna. They are probably a branch of the Chauhāns, being given as such by Colonel Tod and Sir H.M. Elliot.1 Mr. Crooke remarks2 that the Chauhāns are disposed to deny this relationship, now that from motives of convenience the two tribes have begun to intermarry. If they are, as supposed, an offshoot of the Chauhāns, this is an instance of the subdivision of a large clan leading to intermarriage between two sections, which has probably occurred in other instances also. This clan is returned from the Hoshangābād District.

For greater indepth understanding - I have reproduced some history from publicly available websites dveloped by your specific rajput community.

Bhadauria, Bhadoria, Bhadouria, Bhadoriya, Bhadouriya, Bhadauriya, Bhadauria is a branch of the Chauhan clan of Agnivanshi rajputs known for their fighting skills and chivalry. The chief of this clan was ruler of Bhadawar State(this state is in Bhind District of MP(town name is Ater) before 1947 AD. There is a big fort in ater near bhind built by the Bhadawar kings. In terms of population bhadourias are in MP, UP,BIHAR, Delhi and in Rajasthan.

PREDECESSORS and Short History
Founded in 794 by Raja Chandrapal Dev, the clan which brached from the Chauhan clan which is known for its chivalry and bravery, is named after his son Raja Bhado Rao who established the capital at Bhadaura. Raja Shalya Dev 1194/1208, died in battle with Quttubuddin Aibak, the first Sultan of Delhi. His son Raja Rajju Raut 1228/1262, re-established his rule at Hatkant. Two Bhadauria Maharajas, Badan Singh and Maha Singh served with the Mughal armies in Afghanistan. Maharaja Mahendra Gopal Singh greatly extended the boundaries of the state during the decline of the Mughal empire. On his death in 1730, the boundaries extended up to Gwalior in the south, Dholpur in the west and Etawah and parts of Mathura and Kanpur in the east, an area of close to 12000 km². During the latter years of the 18th century the Bhadaurias were attacked by the Marathas and many of their possessions were lost, leaving the small principality as we see it today (1947). The clan is one of the most illustrious and finds mention in almost all sultanate and Mughal era texts. The total family tree is spread over 56 generations as recorded over 1,300 years. Rulers were…. Raja MANIK RAE 720/794, he was the Chauhan ruler of Sambhar, and is generally accepted to be the patriarch of the age, the founder of the Chauhan power that would one day rule Delhi. He became King when his brother, the King of Ajmer was killed during the invasion of Mohammed bin Kasim, and he had to flee, later he recovered Ajmer from the Muslims in about 756 AD, he married and had issue, ancestor of the 24 clans of the Chauhan dynasty.
Raja CHANDRAPAL DEV (qv)
Raja CHANDRAPAL DEV 794/816, he was the 12th son and established his rule at Chandwar around 793A D. He is credited with constructing the massive fort at Chandwar, in present day Firozabad. Chandwar remained in Bhadauria hands till 1208, he married and had issue.
Raja BHADO RAO (qv)
Raja BHADO RAO 816/842, sometimes referred to as Bhado Rana, succeeded his father in 816. He constructed the township and fortress of Bhadaura on the banks of the river Uttangan, in present day Ater tehsil. There is some confusion as to the actual date of construction, with vansavali writers accepting 832 AD while British historians R.Smeaton and W.H.L. Impey estimate 820 AD. It is from this celebrated Raja Bhado Rana and the village of Bhadauragarh that this branch of Chauhans came to be called Bhadauria.

Are Dikhit thakurs a branch of Sisodiya clan?many of my elders told that dikhits were send by the sisodiya to collect money,raise army and create awareness against the mughals during the time of maharana pratap.as they preached a lot they were given nick name as dikhit.my gotra is bharadwaj of Dikhit thakur but due to recent findings by a writer they tell its Kashyap gotra coz of the region where we live.but my ancestors used bharadwaj gotra since ages.please clear my doubt about my gotra and about dikhit thakurs.i am from fatehpur district UP.

I believe that migration of Rajputs was in all directions because it was ruling an warrior caste in major parts of India from very ancient time.

Thakur said...

Hi Narendra, Thats very true. We can't travel back in time - but the breadth of migration does account for the "global" distribution of rajputs.

Please note that Gahmar is largest village of Asia & of Rajputs as well. Dominated by Sikarwar Rajputs. There are many village of Sikarwar rajputs in ghazipur, buxar, bhabhua,rohtash & bhojpur (arrah) district. There is a chaurasee (group of 84 villages) in bhojpur district.

Hello ,I am Vikram Singh from (atta) Paraspur district gonda.i am also a kalhans thakur.when I did some research on the rajput clans and mainly on kalhans Thakur I found that kalhans Thakur is coming under pratihara vansh which is a clan of ichvakuvansh or suryavansh dynasty of Thakur.
