History
Gothra Bhukaran village near Sikar was the capital of republic of Bhukar Jats. Bhukar is a Sanskrit word comprising of 'Bhu' (land) and 'Kar' (tax), which means land-tax. Bhukars were initially settled at Sambhar in Rajasthan. They were the rulers in this area and their ruling method was that of 'Bhomiacharaa'. Later on they started collecting tax on land. [4]
A group of Chahuman descendants came to Sambhar in 9th century. The newly formed Chauhans forced them to move away from this area. Earlier Bhukars and Chauhans were same prior to their consecration of new Hindu religion at Mount Abu. As per records of Badwa of Bhukars Bhukar people came to Sambhar under the leadership of two brothers Khem Singh and Som Singh. Khem Singh founded the town named 'Hiras' and started increasing his influence in the area. Som Singh went to Jangladesh and founded town named Bhukhredi. After many generations some of these people moved towards Panipat in Haryana. [5]
Bhukars came to Gothra Bhukaran
Relation between Bhukhar's and Sihag's are " Mama & Bhanja ". One day some women gathered on well for taking water. Some dispute arose between Sihag & Bhukhar women about taking water from the well first in turn. Bhukhar women told this fact to their husbands which led to a dispute and then Bhukhars decided to leave this village and said they would never drink water of this village. After that they moved to village Gothra Bhukaran in Sikar district in Rajasthan.
Gothra Bhukaran as capital of Bhukars
After the fall of Chauhans at Ajmer and Delhi one of Bhukar warriors named Uday Singh was appointed as 'Bakshi'. Uday Singh was expert in land-tax collection. Uday Singh's son Kaula Singh was appointed Tehsildar of Ajmer. [6]
During those days Kalu Nag was the chief of Sikar republic state. His capital was at village 'Gothra (Bhukaran)'. He was a renowned 'Malik' of his state from Delhi Badshah. He used to go to Delhi to pay land-tax regularly. He had done many works of public welfare. He got constructed a big kachcha pond. He was son less. He married his daughter to Kaula Singh. Kaula Singh's son Kander Singh became the successor of Gothara. Kander Singh's son was Dalu Singh who was chieftain of 25 villages. Dalu Singh's stone statue is still present at village Gothara. The successors of Dalu Singh were Sayar Singh, Kaula Singh II, and Narbad Singh. Narbad Singh had initially gone to village Roru to his maternal grandfather but came back to Gothra (Bhukaran) after the death of his father. The bard records tell us that Narbad was 11 generations back or about 300 years back. Chaudhari Rambaksh belongs to this genealogy and was on 10 th generation of Narbad.[7]
Fall of Bhukar State
When the Shekhawats attacked this state the small republic of Bhukars was vanished. With a view to keep the discontent under control, Shekhawats maintained their status as 'Tax collectors'. Later on this status was reduced to 'Chaudhary'. The Chaudharys used to get their share as 'Pachotra'. They were also authorized free grazing lands.[8]

In Rajatarangini
Rajatarangini[9] writes that The prime minister Changkuna built in another place a vihara with a chaitya; and Ishanachandra the physician and brother to the wife of Changkuna, having obtained wealth through the favor of Takshaka, built a Vihara. The king Lalitaditya further caused a permanent asylum for the poor to be built at Parihasapura, to which he presented one lac and one plates filled with food. He also caused a town to be built in a barren place that thirsty men might find water, there. He invited prudent men from other countries, and brought Changkuna brother of Kangkanavarsha, an alchemist, from Bhuskhara. The king exchanged with this man a statue of Buddha which he brought from Magadha for certain jewels of mysterious properties. This statue Changkuna placed in the monastery which he built, and can be seen to this day, surrounded by iron railings. (Bhuskhara→Bhukhar)

भौमकर वंश का कलिंग पर शासन
कलिंग (उड़ीसा) पर माठर वंश के बाद 500 ई० में नल वंश का शासन आरम्भ हो गया। नल वंश के बाद विग्रह एवं मुदगल वंश, शैलोद्भव वंश और भौमकर वंश ने कलिंग पर राज्य किया। पूर्व में भौमकर शासकों ने उत्तर तोसली पर शासन किया और वे शैलोद्भव शासकों के समकालीन थे जो उत्तरी कोंगोद के शासक थे । राजा शिवकर प्रथम (756 या 786 ई.) के समय तक उड़ीसा के अधिकांश तटीय प्रदेशों पर उनका कब्जा हो गया था। श्वेताक गंग राजा जयवर्मदेव के गंजम शिलालेख के अनुसार शिवाकर प्रथम ने कोंगोद और कलिंग के उत्तरी भागों पर विजय प्राप्त की।
भौमकर वंश के सम्राट शिवाकरदेव द्वितीय की रानी मोहिनी देवी ने भुवनेश्वर में मोहिनी मन्दिर का निर्माण करवाया। वहीं शिवाकर देव द्वितीय के भाई शान्तिकर प्रथम के शासन काल में उदयगिरी-खण्डगिरी पहाड़ियों पर स्थित गणेश गुफा (उदयगिरि) को पुनः निर्मित कराया गया तथा साथ ही धौलिगिरि पहाड़ियों पर अर्द्यकवर्ती मठ (बौद्ध मठ) को निर्मित करवाया। यही नहीं, राजा शान्तिकर प्रथम की रानी हीरा महादेवी द्वारा 8वीं ई० हीरापुर नामक स्थान पर चौसठ योगनियों का मन्दिर निर्मित करवाया गया।
उसके वंशज शिवकर तृतीय के तलचर शिलालेख से पता लगता है कि उसने राढ़ शासक को पराजित किया और पराजित राजा की पुत्री से शादी की थी।
ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि उड़ीसा में भौमकर वंश का राज्य पतन होने के बाद वे उत्तर-पश्चिमी रकस्थान में आकर आबाद हुये। संभवत: यही लोग भूकर कहलाए।
राजस्थान के भूकर गोत्र का इतिहास
ठाकुर देशराज लिखते हैं कि आरम्भ में यह सांभर के निकट आबाद थे। इनके राज्य की शैली भोमिया चोर की थी, किन्तु आगे चलकर अन्य लोगों से यह जमीन का कर लेने लग गए। इससे इनका नाम भूमि-कर लेने से भूकर हुआ। चाहुमान के वंशजों का एक दल
जाट इतिहास:ठाकुर देशराज,पृष्ठान्त-597
नवीं शताब्दी में जब सांभर की ओर आया तो इन्हें नये धर्म में दीक्षित चौहानों ने वहां से निकल जाने पर बाध्य कर दिया। कहा जाता है, भूकर और चौहान उस समय तक एक ही थे जब तक कि चौहान लोग आबू के यज्ञ में जाकर नवीन हिन्दू धर्म में दीक्षित न हुए थे। भाट लोगों के हस्त-लिखित ग्रन्थों में लिखा हुआ है कि खेमसिंह और सोमसिंह दो भाई थे। इन्ही की अध्यक्षता में भूकर लोगों ने सांभर प्रदेश को प्रस्थान कर दिया। हिरास नामक स्थान बसाकर खेमसिंह के साथी अपना प्रभाव बढ़ाने लगे। सोमसिंह ने जंगल देश में पहुंचकर भूकर नाम का नगर बसाया। कई पीढ़ियों के बाद इनमें से कुछ लोग पानीपत की ओर चले गए। जिस समय अजमेर और दिल्ली से चौहानों का राज नष्ट हो गया और देहली के तख्त पर बैठकर गुलाम बादशाह शासन करने लगे, उस समय भूकरों के एक लड़ाकू योद्धा उदयसिंह को बख्शी बनाया गया। उदयसिंह योद्धा होने के अलावा भूमि सम्बन्धी प्रबन्ध में बड़ा निपुण था। उदयसिंह का पुत्र कौलासिंह अजमेर का तहसीलदार बनाया गया।
उन दिनों सीकर में प्रदेश पर कालू नाग राज करता था। उसकी राजधानी गोठरा में थी। कालू नाग ने प्रजा की भलाई के लिए एक बड़ा किन्तु कच्चा तालाब भी खुदवाया था। वह देहली के बादशाह की ओर से अपने प्रदेश का माना हुआ मालिक था। उसे अपने राज्य की आय पर बादशाह को खिराज देना पड़ता था। खिराज देने के लिए वह देहली जाया करता था। उसने कौलासिंह को देखा और अपनी लड़की की सगाई उसके साथ कर दी। चूंकि कालू निःसन्तान था, इसलिए गोठरा का प्रदेश उसके धेवते (दौहित्रा) कन्दरसिंह को जो कि कौलासिंह का पुत्र था, मिला। कन्दर के जो पुत्र हुआ उसका नाम डालूसिंह रखा। वह 25 गांवों का सरदार था। बेटे उसके 12 थे। गोठरा गांव में आज तक डालूसिंह की प्रस्तर मूर्ति मौजूद है। डालूसिंह के बेटे का नाम सायरसिंह था। उसके बड़े बेटे का नाम कौलासिंह द्वितीय रखा गया। उसके जो राजकुमार हुआ, उसका नाम नरवद रखा गया। आरम्भ में नरवद अपनी ननसाल रौरू चला गया था। अपने बाप की मृत्यु के पश्चात् इसने गोठरा की सरदारी संभाली। इस प्रदेश पर जब शेखावतों के आक्रमण हुए तो इनका भी छोटा-सा राज्य नष्ट कर दिया गया। किन्तु भविष्य में असन्तोष न बढ़े इसलिए शेखावतों ने ‘करग्राहक’ (तहसील करने वाला अर्थात् लगान लगाने वाला) इन्हीं को रखा। पीछे से इनका दर्जा केवल चौधरी का रह गया। चौधरी की हालत में भी पचोतरा नाम का हिस्सा इन्हें मिलता रहता था। चारागाह के लिए जमीन मुफ्त मिलती थी। जागा (भाट) लोगों के ग्रन्थ को देखने से पता चलता है कि नरवद अब से 11 पीढ़ी अर्थात् लगभग 300 वर्ष पहले पैदा हुए थे। चौधरी रामबक्स उसी के खानदान में से हैं जो कि नरवद से दसवीं पीढ़ी पर है।
