Dabas

Dabas (Hindi: डबास) is a Jat Gotra, contributing the "Dabas" family name to its members. They have 16 villages in Delhi, in the neighborhood of Dahiya Jats and are closely related to the latter. They are not descendants of Dahiya Jats, but came along with them from Rajputana.

According to puranic legend Dabas are the descendants of Maharishi Dadhichi the great king of Sindh in Vedic period. He had four sons: Dahiya, Davyas (Dabas), Kundu and Hooda. Dadhichi, an emperor turned Maharishi, died at the age of 100 while fighting non-Aryan tribes. In the battle his four sons fought with utmost bravery and annihilated the non-Aryans.

The epic makers go on to prove that the families of Dahiya, Dabas, Kundu and Hooda lived together up to the time of Mahabharat in groups like Soor, Saini, Birshani and Bhoj. They lived in Ujjain, Avantika, Sambal, Indraprastha, Rajasthan and other Northern India parts up to 7th Century A.D.
