चाबा जाटों का बधावन समारोह

Chhaba (छाबा)[1] or Chaba (चाबा) Chhava (छावा)/Chhawa (छावा)[2] gotra Jats live in Jaipur, Nagaur, Pali, Barmer districts in Rajasthan and Hisar district in Haryana. Chaba (चाबा) gotra is known basically as Chhaba (छाबा). Called Chhabaru (छाबरु) in Himachal Pradesh.

Origin

They have probably originated from Chachcha Rana (चच्चा राणा) mentioned in inscription of year 21 April 999 AD, in the temple of Kevay Goddess, at village Kinsaria in Parbatsar tahsil district Nagaur.

History

Dr Pema Ram writes that after the invasion of Alexander in 326 BC, the Jats of Sindh and Punjab migrated to Rajasthan. They built tanks, wells and Bawadis near their habitations. The tribes migrated were: Shivis, Yaudheyas, Malavas, Madras etc. The Shivi tribe which came from Ravi and Beas Rivers founded towns like Sheo, Sojat, Siwana, Shergarh, Shivganj etc. This area was adjoining to Sindh and mainly inhabited by Jats. The descendants of Shivi in Rajasthan are: Seu, Shivran, Shivral, Sihot, Sinwar, Chhaba etc. [3]

They are mentioned by Cunningham[4] in an inscription at the Buddhist Stupa of Sanchi of the Ashoka period as under:

1. Devānam(piya) Magadhe (raja).

2. . . (a)bhi(vādemā)nam Chetiyagiri.

3. . tikhi-cha(Dha)magiri . ikeye sangham.

4. bhokhati-bhikhunābhikhāmavisedāto.

5. nidu . ti sanani . . chhava annā

6. Sasivi(ye) petaviye. Ichhahime Sān-

7. -ti Sangham samage milathitike siyāti.

The drift of this inscription, at least as I understand it, seems to be the following- :—

" Devanampriya, king- of Magadha, offers his salutation to the community of Chaityagiri (and perhaps to that of Dharmagiri also) . . . with a gift of food for the Bhikshus, much emaciated (with their austerities ?) . . . and prays that the Santi community may always be united."

In my account of the great Sanchi Tope I have already identified the present name of Sanchi with the Sanskrit Sānti, which I presume was the name of the great Vihar on the Chetiyagiri, or "Hill of Chaityas" If my reading of Dhamagiri he correct, we may identify the " hill of religion" in the long spur which stretches northward as far as Kānākhera. This hill is still covered with ruins, which no doubt once formed a part of the vast religious establishment of Sanchi-kānākhera.
