Naudipur in Virk History

Ram Swarup Joon writes about Virk - Minhas: In the Western Punjab Virks are supposed to belong to Mahe dynasty, and Minhas are considered to be brethren of the Virks. They are mentioned in the history of Gujars. The name of the ancestor of the Virk gotra was Virk Vardhan.

According to historians the present Sheikhupura was the site of Virkgarh.

According to Th. Yugendrapal Virks are Vahikas who are mentioned in the Mahabharat and who took one sixth of the income of King Shalya. In the 4th century AD they had a powerful kingdom. They were contemporaries of Gupta rulers. According to Brij Indra Bhaskar, in 428 AD the Virk rulers performed a big Yagya near Bayana and constructed a Pillar, on which they mentioned as Virks. Rock inscriptions of Yashodharman have been found in Mandsor. Their reign in Malwa came to an end in 462.

King Singhavarma belonging to this dynasty ruled from 535 AD to 585 AD. He had two sons Narvarma and Chandravarma. Chandravarma's son was Yashovarman. According to a rock inscription found in Gandhar, he was an independent ruler. He had two sons, Bhimvarma and Bandhuvarma. Bondhuvarma was defeated by the Gupta rulers and Bhimvarma was appointed the Savant of a principality near Kausambhi but once more he became independent and allying himself with Anu Gupta fought the Huns. This has been referred to in the "Chandra Viyakaran".

Bhandhuvarman's son was Yashodharman and his son Shiladitya.

The Virk Jat Kapur Singh founded Kapurthala and made it his capital. Before Punjab's partition Sir Shahabuddin, member of the Punjab assembly and Secretary of Jat Sabha belonged to Tar in Sialkot. Jandiala in Amritsar belonged to the Virks.

Nodhgarh

Ram Sarup Joon writes ....Phulkian Dynasty royal dynasty is of Sidhu Gotra. Sidhu Brar belonged to the Bhati gotra. According to their history, their ancestors, having been ousted from Ghazni, had come to India in Yudhishthiri Samvat 3008. The leader was either Bhattrak, the founder of Bhati gotra, or his father. Bhatinda and Bhatner (Bhatnair) were named after him. Among the successors of Sidhu, Phool was a lucky man and his decendants founded various states like Nabha, Patiala, Jind, Bhadaur, Bhalaur, Nodhgarh, Faridkot, Malodh etc.

Migration of Jats

By the end of fifth and the beginning of the sixth century, Saran's and Jat's southward migration, second in line, took place and they reached Kota in Rajasthan, probably via Bikaner regions. From Kota they migrated further east and established their rule at Malwa under the rule of Salichandra, son of Vira Chandra. Salichandra erected a minster (mindra) on banks of the river Taveli in Malwa. Probably after their defeat by Sultan Mahmud in 1027 AD, and later hard pressed by the Ghaznavi Turkish Commander, the Jats of Sind again migrated to Rajasthan and settled themselves in Bundi regions. The second inscription found at Bundi probably dates from circa samvat 1191 (1135 AD) possibly refers to the Jats as opponents of the Parmara rulers of Rajasthan.

History of Nandal Gotra

According Jat Historian Ram Swarup Joon - One person of the family of last Raja Anand Pal Tomar left Delhi after its conquest by the Mohammadans and settled at village Bohar (near Rohtak). His name was NandanTomar and his descendents were called Nandal Vanshi and later on their Gotra became Nandal.

दलीपसिंह अहलावत लिखते हैं - जाट्स दी ऐनशन्ट रूलर्ज पृ० 256 पर, बी० एस० दहिया ने लिखा है कि “यह कहना उचित है कि मौर्य शासन से पहले जो नन्द जाट थे वे आज नांदल/नांदेर जाट कहलाते हैं।” आगे वही लेखक पृ० 305 पर लिखते हैं कि “नांदल जाटों ने भारतवर्ष में जो साम्राज्य स्थापित किया वह नन्द मगध साम्राज्य कहलाया।”

नांदल गोत्र के जाटों का निवास आज भी भारतवर्ष में है। इस गोत्र के जाटों के गांव निम्नलिखित हैं -

1. जिला रोहतक में गांव बोहर तथा इसी के निकट गढ़ी है जिसे बोहर गढ़ी कहते हैं। इस गोत्र के अन्य सभी गांवों का निकास इसी बोहर गांव से है।

2. जिला रोहतक में नन्दल गांव आधा 3. रिठाल गांव का एक ठौला 4. महराना गांव आधा, 5. जटवाड़ा में 50 घर 6. चीमनी में 50 घर हैं।

7. जिला सोनीपत में ज्यासीपुर गांव आधा, डाहर जिला करनाल में भी कुछ गांव हैं जैसे - 8. जाटिल 9. मंढाणा कलां 10. मंढाणा खुर्द आदि। जिला बुलन्दशहर तहसील खुर्जा (उ० प्र०) में इस गोत्र के 12 गांव पास-पास मिलकर बसे हुए हैं। जिनके नाम - भुन्ना, गोहनी, रकराना, शाहपुर, धमपुर, छिरोली, रामगढ़ी, नौरगा, हबीपुर, फिरोजपुर, भूतगढी, जलोखरी। यू० पी० में बोहर गांव से जाकर बसने के कारण वहां ये नांदल जाट, बोहरिये कहलाते हैं।

बोहर गांव का अति प्रसिद्ध नांदल जाट -

द्वितीय महायुद्ध के समय मैंने दिल्ली के लाल किले में एक बड़ा पत्थर रखा हुआ देखा था। उस पर यह लेख खुदा हुआ था कि “बोहर गांव में एक कुआं खोदते समय यह भारी पत्थर उस कुएँ से अकेले एक बोहर गांव के जाट ने बाहिर निकाला था।” उस पर उस जाट का नाम भी था परन्तु मुझे खेद है कि मैं उस पहलवान व्यक्ति का नाम भूल गया हूं।

अनुमान है कि उस पत्थर का वजन लगभग 10 मन था। स्वतन्त्रता प्राप्ति के बाद वह पत्थर वहां से हटा दिया गया। मैंन हाल में ही लाल किले में जाकर उस पत्थर को खोजने का प्रयत्न किया किन्तु नहीं मिला। (लेखक)
