Origin
- Kaikheda gets name from its founder Kai mentioned in (96) Jatashankara Inscription of Vijayasimha[1]
Jat Gotras Namesake
Kāī (काई) (Jat people) → Kāī (काई). (96) Jatashankara Inscription of Vijayasimha[2] tells us that Vijayapala conquered a great hero named Kāī. Who was Kai? It is not clear. We find one Kai in genealogy of Barar Jat clan in Punjab. {Rao Barar → Rao Paur (+ Rao Dhul) → Rao Bairath → Kai → Bao → Rao Sanghar → Bariam (d.1560)} Further research is needed in this matter.
Lepel H. Griffin[3] writes that founder of Barar clan Rao Barar had two sons, Rao Paur and Rao Dhul, the younger of whom is the ancestor of the Raja of Faridkot, and of the Barar tribe, which holds almost the whole of the districts of Mari, Mudki and Muktsar, Buchan, Mehraj, Sultan Khan and Bhadour in the Firozpur district, the whole of Faridkot, and many villages in Pattiala, Nabha, Jhumba and Malod. The two brothers quarreled, and the elder, Rao Paur, being worsted, fell into great poverty, in which his family remained for several generations, till Rao Sanghar restored their fortunes. {Rao Barar → Rao Paur (+ Rao Dhul) → Rao Bairath → Kai → Bao → Rao Sanghar → Bariam (d.1560)}
If we assume 25 years as a period of one generation Kai must have been present around 1485 AD.
