Saharan (gotra)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saharan or Saran is a gotra of jats in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in India. They were rulers in jangladesh. Jangladesh coincided with the princely state of Bikaner in Rajasthan. Megasthenes described them as Syrieni race in his book Indica.

Rathores under the leadership of Bika and Kandal were spreading their rule in Jangladesh. At that time Saran Jat were ruling in about 100 villages in Jangledesh. Prooloji was their king and their capital was at Bhadang town. Kaijar, Fokh, Boochawas, Sabai, Badina and Sarsel were other famous towns in their state.

Prooloji had war with Rathores but the Godara Jats had aligned with Rathores due to which sarans faced a defeat. The chieftain of Godaras, Pandu was the patriarchal head of the Godaras; his residence was at Shekhsiri, who abducted the wife of Adhiswar of Sarans that made Godaras the enemy of all other Jat rulers. Godaras were the most powerful among the Jat rulers of Jangladesh. The lack of harmony and coordination among other Jat rulers led to the defeat of Jat states in Jangladesh and established the Rathore Kingdom.
