History

In the Sixth century A.D. they were fighting the Holy Roman Empire, along with the Bals and the Utars.

H.A. Rose writes that Kular (कुलार) is a small Jat clan in Jind which has a Sidh whose samadh is in Kular Khas. He was killed by a carpenter, so they never give or sell ghi or beestings to a man of that caste. [10]

According to Bhim Singh Dahiya[11] the Gondal clan represents the “Go-nanda” dynasty of Kashmir, the Lohar jats are the descendants of the Lohar kings of Kashmir, just as the Lalli, the Sahi, the Balhara, the Bring, the Takhar, the Dhonchak, the Samil, the Kular, and so on represent the people mentioned in the Rajatarangini of Kalhana.

James Tod on Kullar
