Gujjar Nagar have ruled Mathura as one of the kingdom fo Gujjar Kushans. Ahir also settled around this area durting that period only and must have come from Herat. Historically Rashtrakuts claimed that they were descendents of Lord Krishna. There culture also matches with that of Mahabharata where ;- 1. one can marry his own sister, i,e,. the daughter of his maternal uncle.
2. The other salient features of that culture were sharing wives among brothers for example Pandavas.
3. Sacrificing wife for the sake of kingdom was the culture in Mahabharata but not of Ramayana.
Historically the Gujjars are descendents of Lord Rama.
1. Kushaites, the Kushans are called the descendents of lord Kush. Thus ther Khari Gujjars who are siad to be the son of Kusha, are Kushaites, the great Kushans.
2. The Leva Gujjars are called the son of Loh, another son of lord Rama.
3. Gujjar Pratihr are said to be the descendents of Laxmana, though the interpretation in the inscriptions seems to be the work of some Brahmin, to impress the Gujjar Pratihar Emperors about his knowledge. Pratihar is Gotra of among Gujjars of Kusahan Era.
4. Patliputra, Ujjain, Saket, Kashi, Mathura were part of Gujjar Kushan empire as per Rabatak inscription of the Great Kanishka.
Lord Ram and lord Krishna belonged to two different culture and communities like Gujjars, Jats and Gujar Brahmins who avoid gotras of mother and father in arranged marriages certanly belong to the Aryans of the stock of lord Rama.
I have protested to the owner of Indian netzone and sent the right information about Gujjars who were till that time showing Gujjars as Shudras. Even now the heading of your article remained the same but information have been changed. |

In addition to my above the following points also add to the confirmation of my views that Gujjars are descendents of lord Rama.
1. If we go in to further depth of information, it can be found that the worship of lord Rama as a God was started in 2nd. century only and that was the period of Gujjar Kushans. That confirms that lord Ram was the ancestor of Gujjars.
2. The Gujjars, Jats and Gujar Brahmins treat all their ancestors as God and that is the reason we find the statue of the father, grandfather, maternal gransfather ( Nana) alongwith the Gods in the coins of Gujjar Kushans.
3. We Gujjars, Jats and Gujar Brahmis greet to each other by saying Ram-Ram in place of namaste. In some part of Gujarat and Karnataka they greet with each other with Jai Sri krishna. You will not find anywhere among Gujjars ( Ta-Yuechis), and Jats and white Huns (Shau-yuechis) greeting among each other by pharse Jai Sri Krishan in place of Ram-Ram.
4. Gujjars also believe in Tarpan ( to get Moksha ) of the souls of their ancestors. That was also the reason said why Bhagirat, an ancestor of lord Rama, brought Ganga to the fields of Aryavrat.

TEMPLE OF MAHAVIRA OSIAJI The Mahavira temple in Osiya, ancient Ukesa, is one of the longest worshipped Jaina shrines in western India. Its antiquity dates back to the late eighth century and its importance as a foundation of the Gurjara Pratihara period . Osia is a small village sixty-five kilometers north-east of Jodhpur. It is an important Jaina pilgrimage center for Oswal Jaina community. The Mahavira Temple built here in A. D. 783 is an important tirtha for Jaina built by Gurjar Pratihara King Vatsaraja. The Jaina Harivamsa Purana refers to Vatsaraja's rule in Saka year 705 (A. D. 783). "The temple that deserves notice is the celebrated Jaina Temple referred to in the Hindu and Jaina accounts. It is dedicated to Mahavira, the last Tirthankara, and is situated on the Western outskirts of the village. It faces the north and stands within a walled enclosure. The Temple thus existed during the reign of Vatasaraja, who belonged to the Gurjar Pratihara dyansty and flourished about A. D. 780-800 www.architexturez.net/+/subject-listing/000018.shtmlAttachments:

Firstly, i wud like to give thanks to mr. Ashok Harshana ji for Sharing Pushkar Gatha with us.
Dosto ,
Pushkar attachment with Gujjar community reflects that GOD i.e. Generator ,Operator & Destroyer (Brahma,Vishnu & Mahesh) Himself Never let thmself away from this prestige & daring community & had been associated with this diversified Gurjar community in every Yug.
So feel Proud to be a Gujjar
Note: Expand Pushkar - Gujjar attachment Gatha to ur friends Specialy those who hides their cast, feel hatred to be associated with it. And offcourse those other cast ppl who consider Gujjars to be Useless Creature. & who dont know our Glory & Golden Past History. & taken it into account that Gujjar only indulge in fight but whnever a Gujjar indulge in any fight he fought for right whether it is Mutiny 1857 or fight with Britishers .
And Late Sh. Harivansh Rai Bachchan Himself had described the beauty of Gujjars in his Poem “Male Mein Meli Gujjariya” which was sung By Mr Amitabh Bachchan. And this shows Gurjar community 's Uniqueness among others .

www.nikkistravel.com/rajasthan/osian-barmer-jodhpur.htmlOsian is a small temple town or rather a large village. Though in the medieval ages this was a large and bustling town. Caravans from Arabia, Persia, Afghanistan and central Asia arrived here to trade. Osian was also an important pilgrimage center between the 8th and 9th centuries, apparent from the surviving Hindu temples of the Vaishnava, Surya (Sun) and Shakti (mother goddess) sects. Despite the fact that the ruling dynasty (Gurjara Pratihara) later converted to Jainism, Osian continued to attract Hindu devotees to its temple of the goddess Sachiyamata. This temple is still in use today. There are 15 brahminical temples and shrines, and a cluster of Jain temples, all built during the Gurjara Pratihara dynasty between the 8th and the 12th. One group of 11 temples belonging to the early phase (8th-9th centuries) lies within and on the outskirts of the present-day village. The other group belonging to the 11th and 12th centuries is located on a hill overlooking the village. Though small, these temples are beautifully built and richly sculpted. A striking feature is the variety in their design. Each temple has its original design, planning and layout. The stone from which these temples were built was extracted from local quarries, and has managed for the most part to withstand the ravages of time. Attachments:

www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/AlwarAlwar was also a strong hold region of Gurjar Pratiharas History Of Alwar "Alwar" was formerly known as "Ulwar". This placed it in last position in alphabetically ordered lists, so a king renamed it to "Alwar" to bring it to the top. Till the 11 A.D. this area was ruled by a powerful Gurjar Chief. According to Imperial Gazeteer of India v.23, p.419 During the Muslim period one of the Emperors demanded a daughter in marriage from Ishwar Das the Gurjar Raja of Alwar. On his refusal to comply the Gurjar were slaughtered where ever found, but some escaped, among them Raja Dalku Rao a chief of clan, fled and founded the Sikarwar branch of Rajputs. Attachments:
