Bagrawat
Bagrawat (बागडा़वत) or Bagarwa gotra Jats are found in Sikar district of Rajasthan.
Origin
Originated from area called Bagar waste in Hissar District.[1]
History
According to Dr Atal Singh Khokhar Genghis Khan was a Bagrawat Jat. [2] [3]
James Tod[4] writes that at the village of Gopalpur, attached to estate of Kuwaria, was a temple of the Bagrawats, a tribe little known, having a shrine of their divinity, who was personified by an image : with a tiger's (bagh) head. The true form of the clan name is Bagrawat [5] which can have no connexion with bagh, 'a tiger.' It is probably derived from the Bagar waste in Hissar District.
