Dalal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalal (दलाल) is clan or gotra of Jats found in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Dalal Jats established Kuchesar princely state in Uttar Pradesh in India. Kuchesar town is situated in present Bulandshahar district located at a distance of 80 km from Delhi. The Jat rulers of Kuchesar, who hail from Mandoti in Haryana, built their mud-fort somewhere in the mid 18th century. The Mud Fort of Kuchesar tells of the chequered history of the Jats who vied with the Sikhs, Marathas, Rohillas & Rajputs as well as French adventurers and the British East India Company, to fill the vacuum of the declining Mughal power. Around 1630 Dalal gotra Jats inhabited this area. Bhual, Jagram, Jatmal and Gurva were four brothers in Dalal gotra Jat family who founded the Kuchesar state.

Mr. Crook in his book “The Tribes and Castes of the north western provinces and Avadh” has written about the origin of Dalal gotra. Mr. Crook has mentioned that Deswal, Dalle and Maan were three sons from Dhannaray Jat and Badgujar Rajput woman of village Sillauti of Rohtak in Haryana. The descendants of the three sons were known as Deswal, Dalal and Maan Jats respectively.

In present time Dalal, Deshwal, Mann as well as Suhag consider themselves as brothers being descendants of same person. So there can't be any marriage between those boy and girl having these gotras.

[edit] Translation

There is no literal translation of the word dalal from Arabic, but the meaning is very close to "indulgence", "lavishness" and "extravagance". Dalal is an abstract noun and a very common Arabic female name.
