History
Thakur Deshraj[2]There is mention of Kuntibhoja and Kaunteya people in Mahabharata. Kuntibhoja people are those to whom Kunti was adopted. Kaunteya are the descendants of Pandu and Kunti. The Kaunteya people later became Kuntal and Khuntail over a period of time. Mathura memoirs mention that Kunthal Jats defeated the Kirars ruling over many districts of Mathura.
ठाकुर देशराज[3] लिखते हैं कि महाभारत में कुन्ति-भोज और कौन्तेय लोगों का वर्णन आता है। कुन्ति-भोज तो वे लोग थे जिनके कुन्ति गोद थी। कौन्तेय वे लोग थे, जो पांडु के यहां महारानी कुन्ती के पैदा हुए थे। महाराज पांडु के दो रानी थीं - कुन्ती और माद्री। कुन्ती के पुत्र कौन्तेय और माद्री के माद्रेय नाम से कभी-कभी पुकारे जाते थे।
