सींदड़ गोत्र का इतिहास

पंडित अमीचन्द्र शर्माने लिखा है - तहसील हांसी जिला हिसार में सींदड़ गोत्र के जाटों का खांडा एक प्रसिद्ध ग्राम है। ये चौहान संघ में थे और इनके बड़े का नाम सींदड़ था जिसके नाम से यह गोत्र प्रचलित हुआ। सींदड़ ने कराव किया और चौहान संघ से अलग हुआ। खांडा में सर्वप्रथम आर्य धर्म का प्रचार हुआ। हिसार प्रांत का पौराणिक पंडितों ने आर्य धर्म को रोकने के लिए खांडा पर बड़े बड़े आक्रमण किए। खांडा के आर्य पुरुषों ने बड़ी शांति के साथ पौराणिक लोगों का मुक़ाबला किया।

पंडित अमीचन्द्र शर्माने लिखा है - ढ़ुल गोत्र के बड़े का नाम ढ़ुल था। ढ़ुल और सींदड़ सहोदर भाई थे। इसलिए आज भी परस्पर विवाह संबंध नहीं होते। ढ़ुल गोत्र चौहान संघ से अलग होकर बना है। ढ़ुल ने कराव किया और चौहान संघ से निकलकर जाट संघ में आ गया। चौहान संघ मुख्यत: जाट गोत्रों से ही बना था। रामराय और इकस इनके बड़े और प्रसिद्ध गाँव हैं।
