Jat clan system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Jat clan system refers to social organization of the Jat people, Indo-Aryan/Indo-Scythian people of Northern India and Pakistan [1] [2] [3].

The clan names of the Jat people are unique in India. However, some small number of their clan names do overlap with the Rajputs and Gujjars.[4] A Jat clan may include both gotra and vansha. List of Jat Clans have been compiled by many Jat historians. These lists have more than 2700 Jat clans or gotras. Like caste, gotras and vanshas do not change. There can be more than one gotra in a vansha but there can not be more than one vansha in a gotra. Most of the Jat clans come from Chandravanshi lineage but they are also from Suryavansha, Agnivansha and Nagavanshi descent. Patel and Chowdhury are surnames used by a number of castes which are based on titles and do not reflect ancestry or caste and therefore are not considered as clans or vanshas. It is necessary to understand difference between clan, gotra and vansha. Jat clans may include both gotra and vansha.

[edit] Clan

A clan is a group of people united by kinship and descent, which is defined by perceived descent from a common ancestor. Even if actual lineage patterns are unknown, clan members nonetheless recognize a founding member or apical ancestor. As kinship based bonds can be merely symbolical in nature some clans share a "stipulated" common ancestor, which is a symbol of the clan's unity.

[edit] gotra

A gotra (?????) (lit. "cow-pen" or "cow-shed" in archaic rigvedic Sanskrit) is a patrilineal classification and identification of castes in India. Gotra is the Sanskrit term for a much older system of tribal clans.The Sanskrit term "Gotra" was initially used by the Vedic people for the identification of the lineages. Maharshi Panini has defined gotra in his grammar astadhyayi in sanskrit as under-

?????? ???????? ??????? ?????? upatyam prautram prabhriti gotram

Translation – Gotra is the name of group of descents, leaving son, including grandsons and great grandsons.

[edit] Vansha

Initially there was only one vansha that was Manuvansha. Later one branch started from sons of Manu, which was called Suryavansha and other branch started from daughter of Manu, Ila, that was called Aila or Chandravanshi. Later to minimize the influence of Buddhism and Jainism in India, the Brahmans organized a grand yagya at mount Abu in Rajasthan, which continued for 40 days. Almost all the ruling clans attended this yagya. The ruling clans which took part in this yagya were titled as 'Rajputs'. Four kshatriyas appeared from the agnikunda namely, Solankis, Pratiharas, Chauhans and Paramaras. These were termed Agnivansha kshatriyas. [5]

According to Agni Purana Agnivansha kshatriyas were born from the fire which resides in Mt. Abu in Northwestern India after the "destruction of ancient kshatriyas". However historians interpret this as suggestive of Indo-Scythian origin because this place was entrance gateway for scythic groups in India. In fact lineage of all 36 Rajput ruling clans has been traced to Indo-Scythian races [6] The ruling clans who took part in the above yagya were termed Rajputs but those who did not take part remained Jats, Gurjars as such in their old clans. Gotras did not change in this process that is why common gotras are found in Jats, Rajputs and Gurjars.

A vansha is connected with ruling clan like Huna vansha in China and Agnivansha in India. All the gotras try to link with some vansha. Those who joined mount Abu yagya connect their gotra with four Rajput clans namely Solanki, Pratihara, Chauhan Paramara. Rest connect their gotra with Suryavansha or Chandravansha or some great Rishi or a King.

[edit] Basis of Vanshas and gotras

Jat people Gotras have initially been created in the name of a person, a place or some historical incidence. When in a generation a great person takes birth all the previous titles of this generation are included in the name of this great person and a new gotra starts in his name. Like caste does not change, gotras and vanshas also do not change. There can be more than one gotra in a vansha but there can not be more than one vansha in a gotra. For example Chauhan vansha has 116 gotras included in it. [7]

According to Dilip Singh Ahlawat, Vanshas and gotras start on the basis of some important person, country, period, title and language. [8]

[edit] Based on system of worship

Some Jat people clans developed their Vansha according to their system of worship such as Devas and Nagas. In Devas the worshippers of Indra were known as Aindra, worshippers of Varun as Varun, worshippers of Mitra as Maitreya or Mitra, worshippers of Shiva as Shivi or Shaivya, worshippers of Marut as Marut, worshippers of Gandharva as Gandharva, worshippers of Shesha as Sheshma, worshippers of Karka as Karkotaka, worshippers of Naga as Naga or Nagil.

[edit] Nagavanshi Jat clans

Jat people clans of Nagavanshi or Nagas were originated from Kashyapa. The Nagvanshis acquired the status of Devas due to their excellent qualities, behavior and actions. Puranas mention Nagas along with devas. Puranas mention of many Naga Kingdoms. In ancient times Nagas were the rulers of entire India. During their peak period of rule they had sent armies to other countries also conquered them. In many places Indian Nagas have been mentioned as ruling dynasties such as Tak, Taxak, Tanak, Tushta etc. Apart from these there were many branches of Nagas such as Karkotaka Vanshi, Shesha Vanshi, Vasuki Vanshi, Ahi Vanshi, Manibhadra Vanshi etc. These branches further developed as sub branches such as Sind Vansh, Kushan Vansh, Vaish Vansh and Saindhav Vansh etc.

Some of the Nagavanshi Jat people clans are Dhaulya, Asit, Kala, Dahiya, Sewda, Khokhar, Mundwaria, Nil, Gora, Tokas, Taxak, Takhar, Pandul, Titarwal, Mandel, Matwa, Roja, Kalya, Kalwaria, Abuda, Vasath, Lega, Bhakhar, Bhinchar, Lochag etc. Jat historians have listed Some more nagavansh Jat clans which are [9][10][11]
