Dharan

Dharan (धारन) Dharan (धारण),Dharania (धारणिया) Dharaniya (धारणिया) Dharana (धरना) Dhari (धारी),Dhar (धर) Dharana (धारना) Dharu (धारू) Dhariya (धारीया) Dharia (धारीया) Dhariwal (धारीवाल) Dhariwal (धाड़ीवाल) Dhankar (धनकार) Dhaliwal (धालीवाल) Dharniya (धारनिया) is gotra of Jats found in Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Origin

This gotra is said to be originated from Nagavanshi tribe Dharana (धारण) of Mahabharata period.

Jat Gotras Namesake

• Dharania (Jat clan) = Dharanidhara (धरणीधर) (L.37). Dharanidhara (धरणीधर) (L.37) is mentioned in Paragaon Plates Of Prithvideva II : (Kalachuri) Year 897 (=1146 AD). ....The engraver was Dharanidhara (धरणीधर) (L.37), the son of Lakshmidhara.Baloda is a town and tahsil in Janjgir-Champa district in Chhattisgarh.

• Dharan (धारण) (Jat clan) → Dharana (धारण) gotra of Prabhavatigupta. Poona Plates of Prabhavatigupta mention (Line 7): His (Chandragupta (II)'s) daughter, the illustrious Prabhavatigupta (प्रभावतीगुप्त) of the Dharana gotra, born of the illustrious Mahadevi Kuberanaga (कुबेरनाग), who was (herself) born in the Naga family (नागकुल); who is a fervent devotee of the Bhagavat (Vishnu) ; who (was) the Chief Queen of the illustrious Rudrasena (II) (रुद्रसेन II), the Maharaja of the Vakatakas (वाकाटक); who is the mother of the Yuvaraja, the illustrious....

In this context we must note that Prabhavatigupta, the daughter of Chandragupta II and chief queen of the Vakataka king Rudrasena II describes herself as belonging to the Dharana gotra in her Poona and Riddhapur copper plate inscriptions. Dharana is clearly the gotra of her father, as the gotra of her husband Rudrasena II is specifically mentioned as Visnuvrddha in the Chammak copper plate inscription of Pravarasena II.

K P Jayaswal takes it to stand for Dharan, a Jat clan found in Amritsar, and on the basis of the Kaumudimahotsava he concludes that Chandragupta I was a Karaskara or Kakkar Jat.

This view has been supported by Gokhale.

Dhārana: Indian coins

The early indigenous Indian coins were called Suvarṇa (made of gold), Purāṇa or Dhārana (made of silver) and Kārshāpaṇa (made of copper).

In epics

Shalya Parva, Mahabharata/Book IX Chapter 44 gives the list of combatants who came to the ceremony for investing Kartikeya with the status of generalissimo. Shloka IX.44.81 names Dharan along with Nagavanshi kings Tittira and Viraja.

Dharan find mention in Aswamedha Parva, Mahabharata/Book 14 Chapter 8 in shloka XIV.8.26.

Mahabharata Shalya Parva, Mahabharata/Book IX Chapter 44 mentions about them in shloka IX.44.60.

Udyoga Parva/Mahabharata Book V Chapter 72 mentions the Kings of races known for the destruction of their kinsmen. Dharan finds mention with Chedis, Matsyas, Vrishaddhaja, Praviras, Chandra-Vatsyas, and Vigahanas in shloka 5.72.16.

Clan History

Ram Swarup Joon writes In the Sabha Parva, Mahabharata/Book II Chapter 48, while describing various Kings who attended a ceremony in the Durbar (court) of Maharaja Yudhisthira, seventeen names are mentioned which are today found as Jat gotras. These are Malhia, Mylaw, Sindhar, Gandhar, Mahity, Mahe, Savi, Bath, Dharan, Virk, Dard, Shaly, Matash, Kukar (Khokar) Kak, Takshak, Sand, Bahik (Bathi) Bije (Bijenia), Andhra, Sorashtra (Rathi) Mann, Ar, Sohat, Kukat, Othiwal (Othval).

Ram Swarup Joon writes that about Dharan or Dhariwal : One branch of the Mudgals was called Dharan. At present there are Dharan Jats as well as Brahmins. Later on, These people become known as Dhariwals. The daughter of Chandra Gupta II who was married to King Rudra Sen has given her gotra as Dharan.

Sardar Jai Singh Dhariwal was included in twelve misls of the Sikhs.

H.A. Rose has mentioned about Dhariwal (धारीवाल) clan. He writes that The Dhāriwāl, Dhaniwāl or Dhāliwāl, (or, in Karnal, Phor) Jats, for the name is spelt in all three ways, are said to be Bhattis, and to take their name from their place of origin Dharanagar. Once Akbar wanted to marry Dharm Kaur, the daughter of their Chief Mihr Mitha of Firozepur district in Punjab. She was very beautiful and very strong girl. Mihr Mitha consulted 35 Jat clan Khap people and the proposal was rejected by the Khaps. They are found chiefly on the Upper Sutlej and in the fertile district to the west, their head-quarters being the north-western corner of the Malwa, or Ludhiana, Ferozepur, and the adjoining parts of Patiala. Mr. Brandreth describes them as splendid cultivators, and the most peaceful and con- tented portion of the population of the tract. Akbar conferred the title of Mian on Mihr Mitha and gave him 120 villages round Dhaula Kangar in jāgir. The Dhariwal have undoubtedly been settled in that part from an early period, and the south-east angle of the Moga tahsil is still called the Dhaliwal tappa. Mitha's descendants are still called Mian, but they are said not to have been converted to Islam though for several generations their leaders bore distinctly Muhammadan names. However this may be Mihr Mitha is now their sidh with a shrine at Lallawala in Patiala, and on the 2nd sudi of each month sweetened- bread and milk are offered to it. In Sialkot, however, their sidh is called Bhoi and his seat is said to be at Janer Fatta. The Dhariwals are divided into two groups, Udhi or Odi and Moni or Muni (who alone are said to be followers of Mihr Mitha in Gujranwala) .

Poona Plates of 13th year of Prabhavatigupta

Prabhavatigupta (प्रभावतीगुप्त) was the chief queen of Vakataka King Rudrasena II (356-378 CE). She was daughter of Gupta King Mahārājādhirāja Chandragupta II born of the union with aNaga princess Mahādevī Kuberanaga. Prabhavatigupta has recorded herself born in a Naga family of Dharana Gotra in two plates found at Poona and Riddhapur.

1. Poona Plates of 13th year of Prabhavatigupta

2. Riddhapur plates of 19th year of Prabhavatigupta

On the death of Rudrasena II, his queen Prabhavatigupta, the daughter of Chandragupta II (376-413 AD),ruled her husband's kingdom for at least about 13 years, even though she is known to have three sons. Prabhavatigupta issued the Poona copper plate inscription in the 13th year of her rule as the mother of the Yuvaraja Divakarasena. In her Riddhapur copper plate inscription issued in the 19th regnal year of her son Pravarasena II, Prabhavati is represented as the mother of Maharaja Damodarasena and Pravarasena II.

The daughter of Chandragupta II who was married to King Rudrasena II has given her gotra as Dharan. Dharan Gotra is found in Jats of Rajasthan, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. One branch of the Mudgals was also called Dharan. At present there are Dharan Jats as well as Brahmins. Later on, These people were known as Dhariwals.

Ranakpur is site of Shvetambara Jain Temple devoted to Adishvara in Desuri tahsil of Pali district in Rajasthan. The temple was built in V.S. 1496 in the reign of Rana Kumbha. This tirtha was visited by poet Megha in V.S. 1499, who has referred to seven Jina temples at this place. The temple of Adishvara was named after its builder, namely minister Dharana (धरण) and it came to be known as Dharanavihara.

Villages founded by Dhariwal clan

• Dharanwas (धरणवास) - village in Dausa tahsil of Dausa district, Rajasthan.
• Dhariwal ki Dhani (धारीवाल की ढ़ाणी) - village in Churu district of Rajasthan

Guptas were Jats of Dharan gotra

The Guptas of Gupta Empire have been proved by historians to be Dharan Jats. The Arya Manjushri Mul kalpa, is a history of India covering the period 700 BCE to 770 AD. The history was a Buddhist Mahayana work, by a Tibetan scholar, and was composed sometime in the 8th century CE.

K P Jayaswal brought this material out from above book in his eminently scholarly book :An Imperial history of India C 700 BC – C 770 AD. K P Jayaswal has spotted and brought out the fact that the second Guptas, (Chandra Gupta II, Samudra Gupta etc circa 200 BCE to 600 BCE) were Jats, who came originally form the Mathura area. They were of the Dharan Gotra, as shown by the Plate inscription of the Prabhavatigupta , where she gives her father’s (and her) Gotra as Dharan. The Dharan Jats still can be found in the U.P. Mathura region and they proudly point to their ancient glory, of how their forefathers ruled Hindustan.

According to him Gupta is said to have been a Mathura-Jata (Sanskrit- Jata-vamsa). Jata-vamsa, that is, Jata Dynasty stands for Jarta, that is, Jat. That the Guptas were Jat; we already have good reasons to hold (JBORS, XIX. p. 1U). His Vaisali mother is the Lichchhavi lady.

Here is produced point wise account from a famous historian K.P. Jayaswal's book, History of India, PP 115-16 :

• That nowhere Guptas disclose their origin or Caste status. That their caste sub-division was Dharan. Since Prabhavati Gupta daughter of Chandra Gupta II and queen of Rudrasen II Vakataka in her copper plate grant of Pune has shown sub-caste of her family (Gupta) as Dharan (EI XV-41 P-42).
• The Salvas were a branch of the Madras and were ruling at Sialkot. These Madras had a branch named Kuninda, who were related to Koliya Naga.
• Karaskars were thus a Punjabi people a sub-division of the Madras. We know that the Madras were Vahikas and Jartas. This community, thus, consisted of several sub-divisions.
• Since according to grammatical illustration of Chandragomin the Jarta defeated the Huns, which means Skanda Gupta defeated the Huns. Hence Guptas were Jartas or Jat.

Riddhapur plates of 19th year of Prabhavatigupta

Bhim Singh Dahiya has proved by applying “Grimm’s Law of Variation” that in Indo-European languages the alphabet “J” changes to “G”. Due to this law the Chinese call Jats as “Getae” and Germans call them “Got”, “Gaut” or “Goth”. The Proto-Germanic name Gaut changes to Gupt as under:

Gapt is considered to be a corruption of Gaut (Gaut→ Gavt→ Gaft→ Gapt, cf. eftir and eptir, "after" in Old Norse). Gapt changed to Gupt in India.

When Chandragupta II, Vikramaditya married his daughter with a Vakataka prince he called tribe as "Dharan" which is a gotra of Jats even today. Skandagupta has written in an inscription of Junagarh that Gupta is a title, which means soldier or a chief.

The first notice of this word 'Gupta' was taken by Panini in fifth century BC when two words are mentioned, viz., 'Goptri' and 'Gupti'. V S Agarwal in "India as known to Panini" defines 'Gupti' as 'defence' and 'Goptri' as the art of science of Military arrangements. On this basis the person who was incharge of defence was called 'Gupta' or 'Gopta'. Skandagupta wrote in his inscription that he had "appointed military governors in all provinces" (सर्वेषु देशेषु विधाय गोप्त्रीन)

Thus we find that this word 'Gupta' means a military governor and used in this sense right from the fifth century BC to the 18th century AD and the so called 'Guptas' themselves used this word in the same sense. The mere fact that the word Gupta is a part and parcel of the names of the emperors, should not, and can not, give any other meaning to this word. If we give 'Gupta' the meaning of surname of the Vaishya caste, then even Chanakya will become a Vaishya because his name was Vishnugupta. Even the Mahabharata used this word 'Gupta' in the sense of military defence.

While illustrating the use of a tense, grammarian Chandragomin mentions in sanskrit language अजय जर्टो हुणान - Ajay Jarto Hunan meaning "the invincible Jats defeated the Hunas". He was a contemporary of the event and we know from history that 'Guptas' were the only people who defeated Hunas. This has been rightly taken as proof that so called 'Guptas' were Jats.

Majumdar and Atlekar mention the fact that at the time of marriage of Prabhavati Gupta, daughter of Chandragupta II, the name of their gotra was given as Dharan. The Poona and Riddhapur plates of Prabhavati Gupta herself give her gotra as Dharan. This has been identified with the still existing Dharan clan of Jats of Bikaner and the adjoining districts of the Punjab. ,

On above basis Bhim Singh Dahiya concludes that Guptas were Jats.

NECERT Text books and Jats

So far we have been complaining about how History in being taught in India. And how the Jats have been totally ignored. This is now changing, and it is gratifying to note that the Jats are no longer in isolation, and mainstream Indian Historians are giving the Jats their due.

The second Gupta age is described as the Golden Age of India. Long have the Jats been complaining that the these were Jats of the Dharan clan, however Indian Historians chose to ignore our History and teach that the 2nd Gupts were Vaisyas, (traders) anything but Jats.

National Council for Educational Research and Training ( NCERT) textbook in Hindi, for Class 11, Bharat ka Ithihaas - Prachin evam Madhyakalin (भारत का इतिहास-प्राचीन एवं मध्यकालीन) , by Dr. Kuldeep Raj Deepak, Published by Saravasti House Pvt Ltd, Educational Publishers, 3649 Chawri Bazaar Delhi 110 006., 2002 edition, tells us a more balanced story.

The single important point is that Indian Academia has now accepted the probability that the Guptas were Jats, and this is being taught in the school History text books, as part of the official curriculum. The book is the prescribed textbook for the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, the premier all India Board of Education and also in the Provincial Boards including the Haryana School Education Board, Bhiwani and Himachal Pradesh School Education Boards. The book is in Hindi, and relevant page-151 of its Chapter 12 is given here.

Hindi text of Chap 12 of NCERT Book

It tells us:

Chapter 12, The rise and spread of the Gupta Empire

"After the Maurya Empire, in the north West The Kushanas and in the South The Satavahanas brought political stability. However in the third century these two empires ended. Thereafter for a century there were many small kingdoms. There is not much knowledge of the history of this period. This period is known as the dark period of Indian History. In the fourth Century CE the powerful Gupta dynasty established an empire from Magadha (modern Patna in Bihar) and brought the history of India back into light from darkness.

Who were the Guptas?

Different scholars have different opinions on this subject.

According to Kashi Prakash Jaiswal, they were Jats, and had been residents of the Punjab.

Dr Altekar called them Vaisyas on the basis of the Vishnu Purana.

Dr Ramshankar Tripathi and other scholars also called them Vaishyas on the basis of the word ‘Gupt’.

However there is no historical basis for this premise.

In History there have been many famous person, to whose name the word Gupt has been joined and they are not Vaishyas.

The prime mister of Chandragupta Maurya, was Vishnugupta, and the famous astrologer and mathematician of the Gupta age- Bhramgupta were Brahmins.

Dr Hemchandra RayChaudhary called the Guptas to be of the Brahmin caste, but Pundit Har Prasad Shastri calls them Kshatriyas. However, until now there has been no certainty about them.”
