Bajya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bajya (Hindi:बाज्या) or Bajia or Bajyar is a gotra of Jats found in Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana in India. In Mahabharata on the Chapter "Sabha Parva" We find a mention of the Bajia gotra. They were staunch enemies of Nanda dynasty. Chander Shekhar has given a reference while giving an account of the Mauryan dynasty. The king of Bajarnia fought against Alexander the Great.

The capital of the Bajernias was Bijerania Kot near Ludhiana.

The Bajernias consider themselves the descendants of the son of Satak Raj Rishi B(V)ishvamitra. At times the alphabets "B" and "V" are interchangeable.

Bajernia Raje, Bajyar and Raje Bije Ranya, Hindus and Sikhs are found in the Punjab.
