History

Ram Swarup Joon[8] writes about Dabas: They have 16 villages in Delhi, in the neighborhood of Dahiya Jats and have intimate relations with the latter. They are not descendants of Dahiya Jats but came along with them from Rajasthan.

B S Dahiya[9] writes:Perhaps they are the same as the Dropice of Herodotus and Derbice of other authors. They were settled in the south east of Caspian sea in sixth century B.C. Perhaps they are the Darvas of Indian literature.

According to puranic legend Dabas are the descendants of Maharishi Dadhichi the great king of Sindh in Vedic period. He had four sons namely Dahiya, Davyas (Dabas), Kundu and Hooda. Dadhichi an emperor turned Maharishi died at the age of 100 years while fighting to non-Aryan tribes. In the battle his four sons fought with utmost bravery and annihilated the non-Aryans.

The epic makers goes on to prove that the families of Dahiya, Dabas, Kundu and Hooda lived together up to the times of Mahabharata in the shape of groups like Soorsaini, Vrishni and Bhoja. They lived in Ujjain, Avantika, Sambal, Indraprastha, Rajasthan and other Northern India parts up to 7th Century AD.

Prithvi Raj Chauhan had two queens, one was from Jaipur of Kushwaha Gotra and other was from Chahar Gotra of Hissar. Prithvi Raj had got two sons

  1. Dhanpal (his two sons were from Dahiya (Jat) and Dahe (Rajput)
  2. Virpal (his two sons were Haley (Dabas) and Hande (Hooda)

Haley was married in village Lado Sarai with Heem Kaur of Sheo Raj (Tank Gotra). Haley has one son named Sullan who was married with Raj Dai of Khera village (Rana Gotra). Sullan’s son was Sangte Rana alias Sukhanpal. Sukhanpal was married in Khatri Gotra with Kunjo, daughter of Sewa, Sukhanpal has six sons (1) Kale, (2) Bale (3) Ketha (4) Jeeta (5) Jagdish and (6) Illu.

Dabas finally settled in village Rani Khera (Chauri) after migrating from Rajasthan, first in Chawri Bazar (Inderprastha) and then at Chauri in 1366-67.

Nihal Singh Arya [10] writes that Joga Ram Dahiya was the Commander of Ajaypal Chauhan, the founder of Ajmer. Vigrharaja Bisaldev, 5-6 generations ancestor of Prithviraj Chauhan founded the Ajmer Fort when Daburam Dahiya formed a separate group. Daburam Dahiya is the ancestor of Dabuwas or Dabas Khap formed at Kanjhawala (Delhi).
