The history of Gurjar samaj are quite
uncertain. The Gurjar clan appeared in
northern India around the time of the Huna invasions of northern India. Some
scholars believed that the Gurjar were
foreign immigrants, possibly a branch of Hephthalites (`White Huns`). Some
scholars believed that Gurjar came into India with the Hunas, and the name of
the tribe was sanskritized to `Gurjara`. They also believed that several places
in Central Asia, such as `Gurjistan`, are named after the Gurjar and that the reminiscences of Gurjar
migration are preserved in these names. History of Gurjar
community is quite vague. There are several references that talk about the origin
and history of Gurjars. Like for instance, in Ramayana,
a war was fought between the gods and the evil spirits. The
Gurjar fought against the devils under King Dasharatha. In
Mahabharata also, references suggested the references of Gurjars. They were found along with Lord Krishna who migrated from Mathura to
Dwarka, Gujarat. In the past, Gurjar have also been
hypothesized to be descended from the nomadic Khazar tribes, although the
history of Khazar tribes shows an entirely different politico-culture ethos.
Some Gurjars also claim that the Gurjar caste is related to the Chechens and
the Georgians, and argue that Georgia was traditionally called `Gujaristan`
(actually Gorjestan). Some of the also claim that Germans are Gurjar. However,
there is no evidence for such claims. At the end of fifth century Hunas, a
marauding tribe entered Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Hunas were cruel
people much displaced from their ancient homelands on the borders of Europe and
Asia. They were, like Aryans who preceded them, white folks. Along with this
rude, crude and cruel tribesmen came lesser tribes, Gurjars being one of them.
They established their fiefdoms, principalities in Punjab, Rajasthan, including
but not limited to Jodhpur, Gujarat, Gujranwalla, a small town in Punjab,
Gurjarkhan, also in Punjab. Well known scholar Cunningham thinks that Gurjar
are descended from Scythian (Saka) and Yuechi (Kushan) tribes who invaded
Pakistan in the first century BC and in the first century AD respectively.
Other scholars believe that they are descended from a Central
Asian Turkic people called Kazars. Since the tribe
migrated from Caspian Sea which is called Bahr-e-Khizar it was named Khizar,
Guzar, Gurjar, Gurjara or Gujjar. The name Hazara was
given to the district by these Guzara tribes. The name
Gujjar, according to another version, is derived from the words `Gau` and
`Char` meaning cattle grazers.
The fact is different from the
place so much about the history of Gurjar

ReplyDeleteGujjar history is most certain but was manipulated, distorted and maligned during slavery period of the country, when the lowest of the low people prospered by submitting to foregn invaders and the Gujjars, the descendent of Raghu, lost everything including there history.
ReplyDeleteThe landmark about the Gujjar History are as follows:
1. Gurjara Shri Vikramaditya ( Greek name Kujula Kara Kadphases)Established the Gujjar Kushan Empire over Central Asia, present day Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangla Desa and India and founded Vikram Samvat as 56/57 BC in the memory of this great victory.
2. His grand son Vikramaditya-II defeated Shaka at present day Multan and Gujarat (in India) and founded Shaka Era in 78 AD the memory of this great victory.
3. Great Gurjjara Sri Harsha or Vikramaditya III, the descendents of eliminated Guptas who were wicked people and founded Gupta Era Or Vallabhi Era in 320 AD. Dadda Gurjjar was contemporary of the Great Harsha, which has been manipulated by Indian Historians as Harshvardhan, who was a petty ruler of Kannauj and declared his independece by taking the advantage of infighing among two Gurjjar groups, Yashodharaman, the ruler of Maghadh, Multan, Balkha and western India, with the lord of Uttaraptah the Mihirkula. Indian historians declared Mihirkula as Hun but he was a Gujjar of Gorsi Gotra which is a sub branch of Kushano gotra of Gujjars.

Clarification in point no. 3 above:
