Barahi (बराही) Barai (बराई) Burai (बरई) is gotra of Jats. Brahoe/Brahwi/Barohi clan is found in Afghanistan.[1]
Origin
This gotra started from their ancestral Raja Dharanivaraha (धरणीवराह). [2]
History
Faridkot city in Punjab was founded by Bhallan of the Burai Jats in 16th century during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar.[3]
H. W. Bellew [4] writes that The Parikanoi (Persian plural form of the Indian Paru-ka = "mountaineer") mentioned by Herodotus along with the Asiatic Ethiopians, are now represented by the Brahoe, Brahwi, or Barohi an indigenous word of the same signification, " mountaineer". The term Asiatic Ethiopians of Herodotus, here mentioned, refers to that branch of the ancient Cushites which at a very early period settled in the Tigris valley, and thence extended along the sea-coast to the Indus. From these parts they spread eastward to the heart of Rajputana or Rajwara as the Kachwaha and to the north as far as Hindu Kush, where we have seen Kachwaha tribes among the people of the Kafiristan and Kunar or Kashkar. The tradition current among the Baloch, of their ancestors having come from Aleppo in Syria evidently refers to the Cushite origin of the ancient inhabitants of the country.
