Some references of texts from British records :


484. The G-ujars, who now, under British in- fluences, have become good agriculturists, muster 1,747,896. The largest number of this caste is found in the Punjab, where there are 627,502: Eajputana contains 402,709; Central India, 337,466; the North-West Provinces, 269,838; the Central Provinces, 44,289; Ajmere, 32,690; Bombay, 31,817. A few of the caste are given against Berar, 967; Hyderabad, 562; Bengal, 41; and Madras, 15.

469. The Jats number 2,643,109, and are found scattered about in 10 of the 18 Indian Provinces. Their numbers are largest in the north of India; in the Punjab they are 1,498,694; the North-West Provinces contain 674,547, and Rajputana 425,598. The other Provinces in which they are found are Ajmere, with 31,788; the Central Provinces, 6,872; Bengal, 3,884; Bombay, 1,336; Hyderabad, 278; Berar, 89; and Baroda, 23. Some of the smaller States in Ttajputana, such as Burtpore and Dholepore, are almost entirely peopled by Jats; and in the tracts bordering on the Jumna, to the north-east of Delhi, they are by far the best cultivators of the North-West Provinces.

462. Next in numbers are the Ahirs, the herdsmen of North India, with nearly five millions, 4,649,387. Of these again, the largest numbers are found in the North-West, 3,584,572. The Central Provinces Contain more than half a million, 500,395; Central India nearly a quarter of a million, 246,376; Bajputana 130,653; and tha Punjab 173,640. The Ahirs, like the Chamars, are found in 10 provinces.

[AP Singh]

In the aboce census there are mainly two reasons for reporting a less population of Gujjars.

1. As is clear from the abocv post in the census of 1881 of British Empire the population of and Kasmir were not included where Gujjars represent the 30% of the total population of the state.

2. The Nomad Gujjars of UP and Himchal were not counted in the above census.

3. Third which is very very significant reason for reporting less population of Gujjars that Gujjar played a very active role, as a community, in the First War of Independence in 1857. As a result the Gujjars were executed everywhere and deprived of their properties.

Also as is commonly known certain other communities supported Britishers in suppressing the First War of Independence and found special favours from them.

As result of the failure and consequences of 1857 revolt, in 1881 Census many Gujjars must have thought that this list is being prepred to target them and must have kept away from the census or may have reported in the name of some other communities.
On the contrary many other communities must have listed themselves in the name of communities who found special extra ordinary favours by the Britishers in excahge of the support by these people against their own people and their own motherland.

Hence in lieu of above the 1881 census did not report the right information specially about Gujjars who fought them as a community in 1857. In actual the Gujjar population must have been much much higher than what was reported 1881 census.

[Ashok Harsana]

We can expect exact ppulation of Gujjars in the latest Census (Starting from tommorrow, i.e 1st April), though it has been made clear by the govt. that it will not be a caste based census but still the records which are to be maintained by the govt. during this census will definitley make it possible to get the exact number of every caste in India.

Anyways, IMO the total Gujjar population (Hindu+Muslim) in India should be around 2.2 Crores at least.

J & K 30 Lacs
Himachal 10 Lacs
Uttranchal 10 Lacs
UP 35 Lacs
Punjab 10 Lacs
Haryana 10 Lacs
Delhi 5 Lacs
Rajasthan 40 Lacs
MP 25 Lacs
Maharasthra 10 Lacs
Gujarat 10 Lacs
Other states 25 Lacs

any other Guess???

[singh]

In J & K, where being ST the caste based data are available, Gujars are about 10.5 lakhs. The maximum population of Gujars is in Rajasthan which is approx 35-40 lakhs. Uttarpradesh about 15-20 lakhs, Delhi + Hariyana + Punjab + H .P they again make a rough total of 15 lakhs. In MP, there may be 5-10 lakhs Gujars. In this way Gujars are not more than 1 crore in India.

[Ashok Harsana]

Dear Brother,

As I mentioned above, these figures are the minimum of the possible population of Gujjars in various states. Though these figures are approximate but there is no possibility that the population of Gujjars can be any lesser, than these above mentioned figures.

www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/oxford/DB145709

www.sbi.co.in/ApplyNowHindustan

These two links claim that Gujjar population might be somewhere around 6 to 11 cr in India.

Anyways, here I will try to prove the estimates with the help of various sources ad links. Please read thoroughly:

Jammu annd Kashmir:

www.dailyindia.com/show/364529.php

Accoding to this:
Gujjar and Bakkarwal constitute 85% of the total tribal population of Jammu and Kashmir, thats approximately 1 crore.

So the exact Gujjar bakkarwal population comes out to be 85% of 42% of 1 Cr...that is roughly around 36 Lacs.

www.hindu.com/2010/03/29/stories/2010032955531400.htm

breakingnews.gaeatimes.com/2010/03/14/jammu-and-kashmir-gujjars-plea-un-for-food-security-under-wfp-15577/

These sources say: Gujjars constitute around 30% of the total population of J & K.

Delhi

www.livemint.com/2008/06/02230557/Gujjar-wrath-could-hurt-BJP-in.html

It says Gujjars are roughly 10% of total population in Delhi (thats more than 15 lacs).

www.thehindu.com/2009/03/13/stories/2009031361550300.htm

This link has a complete (100% Accurate) caste wise breakup of Voters in Delhi. The available information implies that there are around 4 lac Gujjar voters in 4 MP seats (No data is given about the population in rest 2 MP seats). So it clearly means that Gujjar voters are well over 4 lacs and the Gujjar population hence comes out to be 5 lacs at least (Voting population is 80% of toal population generally).




Rajasthan

www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl2411/stories/20070615003612600.htm
It says Gujjars constitute 8-10% of state's population (Means 45-50 Lacs)

www.thesouthasian.org/archives/2008/the_gujjar_protest_and_reserva.html

www.achrweb.org/Review/2008/217-08.html
These links say that Gujjars are 11% of total population of Rajasthan (means 60 Lacs)


Haryana

www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg12379.html

The Districts of Gurgaon and Faridabad have the Gujjar population of over 15% each, that comes out to be around 4.5 lacs.

Jagadhri (Yamuna Nagar), Kalka (Panchkula), Naraingarh (Ambala)Samalkha (Panipat), etc. have Sizeable Gujjar population of around 5 lacs in total.

Uttar Pradesh

wikimapia.org/11508503/VEER-GURJAR-HOUSE-JAIPHARI-GAURAV-SINGH-KASANA-S-O-SULTAN-SINGH-GURJAR

Bundelkhand 16%
Muzzafarnagar 9%
Amethi 12%
Raibareli 10%
Pilibheet 15%
Moradabad 6%

These Figures suggests the population of Gujjars to be around 22 Lacs in these 15 distrcits. And we know the fact that he population of Gujjars is scattered in other distrcits as well.
There are total 70 Disricts in UP. Cant we assume a total population of 13 lacs in the rest 55 Districts. (Please note that the Muslim Gujjar population is not added to this population, which can amount to a total of 15-20 lacs at least.)

Madhya Pradesh



There are 6 lac Gujjars in bhind and Morena Districts in total.
3 Lac Gujjars are there in Mandsor, Gwalior, Ujjain in total.

nearly equal to those registered by the total STs at the national level (2.1 per cent & 2.8
per cent respectively). Among the larger tribes, Bot, Brokpa, Balti and Purigpa have
registered the proportions of married girls and boys below the legal age for each lower
than those of the State average.

Gurjar population is concentrated in the following areas:







1. Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, Dholpur, Bharatpur - Daang area - hilly/ plateau types as well as ravine area. In these ravines there is no agricultural activity and it is most unsafe – Home of dacoits. There this is a negative area for life and livelihood. Aravali ranges divide the state into Eastern (Mal) and Western region (Maru).


Aravali ranges in North East regions – Alwar ranges. In the western region hilly and mountains terrain – which in the past were thick jungles. These forest areas were always negative for human life and continue to be so. In addition to these South West region has the Hadoti Plateau. (Jhalawar, Kota, Bara, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, Dholpur districts) except for some plain land, most of this area is negative area.
