Jat Gotras Namesake

• Golia (Jat clan) = Golha (गोल्ह), a Kalachuri ruler in Raipur Chhatisgarh, mentioned in 'Raipur Stone Inscription Of Brahmadeva - (Vikrama) Year 1458 (=1402 AD)'. ... The pedigree of Hâjirâja (L.19,20) son Brahmadeva commences in verse 13 (L.18). Hâjirâja seems to have had two sons, Padmanabha (पद्मनाभ) (L.21) and Pahideva (पाहिदेव) (L.22). The former's son was Kanhada (कान्हड़) (L.21) and the latter's, Sivasharman (शिवशर्मन) . Two brothers of Hâjirâja are also named in verses 20 and 21. The elder of them was named Supau(सुपौ) (L.23) and the younger Geyâti (गेयाति) (L.24). The former of these had two sons, Golha (गोल्ह) (L.23) and Vishnudâsa. The inscription finally mentions the artisan Nâmadêva (नामदेव).

History

H.A. Rose writes that Golia (गोलिया) or Gawalia (गवालिया), a very curious tribe of Jats, only found in Rohtak and Karnal. According to their bard's version they were originally Brahmans, who lost caste by inadvertently drinking liquor placed outside a distiller's house in large vessels (gol). The local Brahmans apparently admit the truth of this story. They now intermarry with Jats, but not with the Dagar or Sulanki ; for while they were Brahmans the latter were their clients, while when they first lost caste the former alone of all Jat tribes would give them their daughters to wife, and so have been adopted as quasi-brethren. They came from Indore to Rohtak some 30 generations ago.
