History

Bhim Singh Dahiya has mentioned it in Chart showing the alleged Rajput descent of the Jat clans. He clarifies that A clan gains political ascendancy, and other clans who support the ascendant clan, become part of a political confederacy. It was in this sense that the confederacies of Mor, Sakan, Kasuan, Gujar, Parmar, Chauhan, Rathors, etc. were formed. This does not mean that the members of the particular confederacy headed by a particular clan, were descendants or branches of the later ascendant clan. We are giving this chart with a view to draw attention to certain clan names, e.g. the Sakan (Sakan Sacae?) Khot (Got?) Hela (Hala? Hellenes) Rapadia (Arpad of Assyrian history, the present Tell R' fad ?). These apparent similarities with the ancient names of Asia Minor, have to be viewed in the context of many other identities given earlier regarding names of people and cities of that area and the Indian names, (see the chapter on Antiquity).

रापड़ गोत्र का इतिहास

पंडित अमीचन्द्र शर्माने लिखा है - तहसील हांसी जिला हिसार में नारनौन्द एक नामी बड़ा गाँव है। इसमें रापड़ गोत्र का एक घर है। रियासत पटियाला में बालू और जिला हिसार में टिटानी रापड़ गोत्र के ग्राम हैं। रापड़ गोत्र के बड़े का नाम रापड़ था। रापड़ तूर संघ से अलग होकर जाट संघ में मिल गया। तूर संघ मुख्यत: जाट गोत्रों से ही बना था। रापड़ के नाम पर रापड़ जाट गोत्र चला। रापड़ गोत्र के जाट दिल्ली से चलकर आए और ग्राम दीनोद जिला हिसार में आकर बसे। अब तक भी रापड़ गोत्र के जाटों की सती दीनोद में ही है। ये लोग सती की पूजा करने के लिए यहाँ आते हैं। यह विवरण नारनौन्द के रापड़ गोत्र के जाट चौधरी शिवनाथ ने उपलब्ध कराया।
