रोज गोत्र का इतिहास

डॉ पेमाराम लिखते हैं कि रोज गोत्र के जाटों का प्रवाह बीकानेर की ओर से मारवाड़ की तरफ है. रोजास (बीकानेर) से लेकर छाजोली (नागौर) तक रोज गोत्र के जाटों का राज था.

• 855 ई. में रोहितास नाम के सरदार ने रोजास नामक गाँव को आबाद किया था.
• रोहितास के ही वंशज छाजूजी ने छाजोली गाँव बसाया था जो नागौर परगने में है.

• छाजूजी के पोत्र चावड जी ने कठोती गाँव आबाद किया था. इनके वंशज छाजोली, कचरास, सांडिला, खाटू, खूनखुना आदि में आबाद हैं. जब राठोड इस इलाके में आये तो इनकी प्रभुता समाप्त हो गयी. (डॉ पेमाराम, राजस्थान के जाटों का इतिहास,2010, पृ.22)
