Mention by Pliny

Pliny[7] mentions Ethiopia.... Between the mountains and the river Nile are the Simbarri, tile Palugges, and, on the mountains themselves, the Asachæ, who are divided into numerous peoples; they are said to be distant five days' journey from the sea, and to procure their subsistence by the chase of the elephant. An island in the Nile, which belongs to the Semberritæ, is governed by a queen; beyond it are the Æthiopian Nubei25, at a distance of eight days' journey: their town is Tenupsis, situate on the Nile.

25 On the eastern side of the Nile, and hearing no reference, as Hardouin remarks, to the people of modern Nubia.

History

Dr Pema Ram writes that after the invasion of Alexander in 326 BC, the Jats of Sindh and Punjab migrated to Rajasthan. They built tanks, wells and Bawadis near their habitations. The tribes migrated were: Shivis, Yaudheyas, Malavas, Madras etc. The Shivi tribe which came from Ravi and Beas Rivers founded towns like Sheo, Sojat, Siwana, Shergarh, Shivganj etc. This area was adjoining to Sindh and mainly inhabited by Jats. The descendants of Shivi in Rajasthan are: Seu, Shivran, Shivral, Sihot, Sinwar, Chhaba etc. [11]

Siwar (सीवर) gotra originated from Raja Sivar (सिवर), the descendants of Rishi Dadhicha (दधीच). [12]

Bhim Singh Dahiya[13] writes that in ancient Indian literature Sinwar are mentioned as associated with Sauvira-of the expression Sindhu-Sauvira. In Kurma Purana and Vishnu Purana, they are mentioned with the Hunas : “Sauvirah Saindhava Hunan” (सौबीरा सैंधवाहूणाः) as residents of Sakala, Sialkot

Tejoo Peer

Tejoo Peer (तेजू पीर) was a warrior of Sinwar Jat clan from village Pichakarae Tal in Sardarshahar tehsil of Churu district in Rajasthan. He was killed in fighting with Langad Khan in 12-13th century. He was a strong follower of Sufi Sant Baba Shekh Fareed. Hence known as Tejoo Peer. Khojer, Pirer, Ratusar, Kalwasia, Shekhsar, Pichakarae Tal and Siddhasar were under Sinwar Jat republic. His history has been researched by Daulat Ram Saran of village Dalman and is reproduced below in Hindi:

तेजू पीर का जीवन परिचय

तेजू पीर का जीवन परिचय - तेजू पीर के रूप में 1200 ई. सन के लगभग सींवर जाट गोत्र में लोकदेवता का अवतरण हुआ. वे अपनी शूरवीरता, शहादत तथा रूहानियत की बदोलत लोकदेवता तेजू पीर के रूप में प्रसिद्ध हुए. राजस्थान के चूरू जिले की सरदारशहर तहसील के पिचकराई गाँव के पातवाणा में इनके बलिदान स्थल पर वीर तेजूपीर का धाम है. यहाँ प्रतिवर्ष वैशाख सुदी 4 को मेले का आयोजन होता है. तेजू जी सूफी संत फरिदुदीन शक्करगंज (1173 -1265) के शिष्य होने के कारण तेजू पीर कहलाये.

बाबा शेख़ फ़रीद से प्रभावित - अजोधन (पाकपतन) के बाबा शेख़ फ़रीद ने राजस्थान के जाट बाहुल्य क्षेत्र में अपने रूहानी उपदेशों से जाटों को प्रभावित किया. बाबा शेख़ फ़रीद का जन्म वर्ष 1173 में मुल्तान जिला के खोतवाल गांव में हुआ था। अनेक वर्षों तक हरियाणा के हांसी (हिसार) में रहकर वह खुदा की इबादत में लगे रहे. हरियाणा में हांसी में वे लम्बे समय तक रहे. बाबा शेख़ फ़रीद अजोधन से दिल्ली आते-जाते रहे तथा दक्षिणी पंजाब तथा उत्तरी राजस्थान के इलाके में रहे. लोग इनकी योग शक्ति व भक्ति से इतने प्रभावित हुए की सींवर जनों ने अपने क्षेत्र में आबादी का नाम शेखसर रख लिया, जो कि एक रेख के रूप में आज जानी जाती है. शेख़ फ़रीद ने अपनी योग माया से गोदारा जनपद के गाँव सुखचैनपुरा का पानी पिने योग्य कर दिया. इसलिए सुखचैनपुरा का नाम शेखसर कर दिया तथा गोदारा जनपद में गोपल्याणा में शेख़ फ़रीद का मंदिर भी है. इसी तरह पंजाब के शहर फरीदकोट का नाम पहले मोकल नगर था, और यह नगर मोकल ने आबाद किया था. लेकिन, मोकल शेख़ फ़रीद से इतना प्रभावित हुआ कि इसका नाम मोकल नगर से फरीदकोट कर दिया.

तेजूपीर का जन्म - वीर तेजूपीर का जन्म सींवर गोत्री जाट परिवार में हुआ. इनके पिताजी का नाम बिसू जी था. बेसू जी का विवाह नाथूराम जी धीरावत की पुत्री राजकुमारी रामादेवी के साथ हुआ. रामादेवी से उत्पन्न तेजू जी, रातू जी, उदा जी, बुधा जी, अमरा जी, उदीरण जी व सिद्धा जी सात पुत्र व पुत्री अंचला का जन्म हुआ. तेजू जी का विवाह वीरू जी सिहाग की पुत्री राजकुमारी जीवा के साथ हुआ. तेजू जी के बड़े पुत्र का नाम सांगाजी था. तेजू जी सूर्य की भांति तेजस्वी, परोपकारी व दानवीर गणतंत्रीय शासक थे. तेजू जी खोजेर में आबाद हुए. खोजेर वर्तमान चूरू जिले की सरदारशहर तहसील के गाँव पिचकराई गाँव के उत्तर में जैतसीसर के पास है. मेघाना (नोहर) में तेजू जी का संपर्क बाबा फरीद से हुआ. तेजू जी ने उन्हें अपना गुरु बनाया तथा खोजेर गाँव में ले आये. बाबा फरीद ने बणीधाम (पिचकराई ताल) में रहकर तपस्या की, वहां आज भी बाबा का स्मारक है. फिर वह वापस मेघाना चले गए.

लंगड़खां से घमासान युद्ध - तेजू जी की बहन अंचला अत्यंत रूपवती तथा बलशाली थी. लंगड़खां अंचला से शादी करना चाहता था. सींवरजनों ने बाई जी अंचला की शादी मान गोत्रीय जाट सूआराम जी से करदी. इस पर लंगड़खां ने सेना सहित खोजेर पर हमला कर दिया. तेजू जी ने सींवरजनों सहित सेना लेकर आन-बान की रक्षा हेतु डटकर घमासान युद्ध किया. सींवर सेना के पराक्रम से लंगड़खां की सेना भाग गयी. लंगड़खां के सिपाहियों ने पीछे से छुपकर तेजूजी व रातूजी का शीश तलवार से काट दिया. इसके उपरांत भी दोनों भाइयों की धड़ें लगातार लड़ती रहीं और लंगड़खां की सेना का संहार करने लगी. तेजू जी व रातू जी का शीश जोहड़ घुरण में गिरा. इनके धड़ लड़ते-लड़ते पांच कोस आ गए. इस घटना से लंगड़खां घबरा गया. उसने दोनों धड़ों को नील का छींटा दिया, तब वें शिथिल होकर गिरे. दोनों की धड़ें जोहड़ पातवाणा में गिरी. सींवरजनों ने लंगड़खां की सेना का पूरी तरह सफाया कर दिया. पातवाणा जोहड़ में राजा तेजू जी व रातू जी का अंतिम संस्कार उनके वंशजों ने किया. इस जगह धाम बना हुआ है. यहाँ प्रतिवर्ष वैशाख सुदी 4 को मेला भरता है. इनके अनुयायी इन्हें तेजू पीर व दादो जी महाराज के नाम से पूजते हैं.

In Afghanistan

Shinwar (Pashto: شينوار ولسوالۍ‎) is a district in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan.

H. W. Bellew[14] writes that Pushkalavati the ancient capital of Gandhara, and situated on the East bank of the Swat or Landi river near its junction with the Kabul stream), towards the river Indus, the prince of which was called Astes (chieftain probably of the Astakenoi of Strabo, and governor of their capital city, now represented by the modern Charsada, commonly called Hashtnagar, indicating a former name of the sort, most likely Hastinagar, " City of the Hasti"; for Hashtnagar is a compound Persian and Hindi word meaning " eight cities," and has hence been vulgarly applied to as many villages along this river, and to the district in which they are situated).

Astes was slain by Alexander in the defence of a city (not named) into which he had fled ; Hephaistion took this city after a siege of thirty days, and then gave the government of it to Sangaius (perhaps of the Sangu clan of the Shinwari tribe, now inhabiting the Nazian valley of Nangrihar district west of the Khybar Pass). [15]

H. W. Bellew[16] writes that Of the Shinwari tribe, amongst whom the Tirahi now have their chief settlement, very little is known in regard to their origin and antecedents.

The Shinwari are by some supposed to be of modern Albanian descent, and to have been settled in their present occupancy in the Nazyan valley by Nadir Shah so late as the middle of last century only, as a guard over the western entrance to the Khybar Pass, since which time their original name of Shirwani has become corrupted to Shinwari. The people themselves have no suspicion even of such an origin, nor do they exhibit a single trace referring them to such a source. Their language is the Pukhto, and their manners and occupations in conformity with those of the Pathan. The colony of twelve thousand Kizilbash Turkman, planted by Nadir Shah at Kabul, as he advanced into India, retain their identity in its integrity ; they speak Turki among themselves, but use the Persian language in current business, and adhere strictly to the Persian sect of Muhammadans — the Shia' — though in the midst of a hostile and bigoted population of the Sunni sect. The Shinwari are probably the Sanobari, or Sinawari Indians of Rajput descent. They occupy the northern slopes and base of Sufed Koh from the Khybar Pass westward to the Mazinan valley, where they meet the Khugiani tribe (Hygenmi of Herodotus) before mentioned ; they have also a considerable colony in the Kaoshan valley of Hindu Kush, and another of,

[Page-96]: Smaller strength in the Shaegal, or Saigal, valley of Kafiristan, draining to the Kunar river. The Shinwari are reckoned at fifteen thousand families, and are largely engaged as muleteers, breeding large numbers of mules for their carrying trade. The Shinwari are in four divisions, called Sangu, Mandu, Sipah, and Alisher. The Sangu-khel and Mandu-khel are ancient occupants, clans perhaps of the Thyraioi...
