Hi all brothers, We all should use our surnames like chaichi, chauhan, chaudhry, kasana, khatana and many more because these surnames are the sign of our pride and ego. These surnames shows our great history. First of all I would like to say mr. sandeep singh chauhan and Ap singh ( ) ji pls use ur great surnames. Dear Tahir Bhai, Since my surname is not entered in my high school certificate I dont use my surname in all my official records. I am proud of my Gujjar heritage and following is the information about the celebrated Gotras I inherited my genes from:- 1. Nagar Gotra I inherited from my father since among Gujjars Paternal surname is used. I have written about Nagara Gujjars, who were rulers of Nangarhar region during Gujjar Kushan Empire. Later some of them made Nagda ( Near Udaipur) a their capital and ruled over Bagar region comprising of part of present day Gujerat, MP and Rajsthan states of India. Nagar Gotra is mentioned in the Vailbhattaswamin temple inscription of Gujjar Samrat Mihirbhoja Mahan. Vailabhatta was himself was of Nagara Gotra of Gujjars.
2. My inherited Dahalia genes from my respected mother who played an important role in tranforming the careers of me and my brothers specially after my grandfather lost everything he owned in the revolt of 1857. The Parikshatgarh Fort of Gujjar Nagars was converted to a police station after the first war of India was suppressed. The Great Dahalia Gujjars, a Gujjar clan to whom my my mother and maternal uncles belonged were rulers of Dahal Mandal ( Mandal is hindi or sanskrit equivalent of Region) comprising of areas covered in present day UP and MP state of India.
3. My grandmother was from the celebrated Gujjar gotra of Bhattis who were rulers of Tibet and Bhota ( present day Bhutan) region during the Gujjar Kushan Empire. During Gujjar Pratihar rule they rulers of Syalkot ( Near multan) and Bhotia or Bhatia was their capital.
4. My maternal grandmother was from the celebrated Khari gotra of Gujjars. Khari Gujjars were rulers of Salt Range located in present day Pakistan during the Gujjar Kushan Empire.
5. I am direct descendent of Roop Singh Nagar, the real brother of Jait Singh Nagar or popularly known among Gujjars as Jaita Rao Nagari who was founder of Parikshat Garh state in present day UP in district Meerut. Bhai Dhan Singh, a Panch ( literally mean judge), also called Panch Pyare in Sikh religion belong to this family of Gujjar Nagaris who later founded a state at Pakrikshat Garh after the fall of Mughals.
Nagari Gujjars were migrated to these region when last Gujjar Nagari ruler of Uadaipur Rawal Udai Singh Nagari sacrificed his life in the battle of Khanawa with Babar. Rawal Udai Singh Nagari adavanced to Khanwa along with 12000 thousand of his chosen cavaliers. Babar suffered heavy defeats in the initial part of the battle but after later gained success when warriors like Gujjar Nagari Udai Singh and Ratan Singh salumbar sacrificed their life.
Udaipur is named after Udai Singh Nagari since this name existed even beforte Uadisingh Seesodia, the Rajpur ruler of Chittor found asylum there after loosing Chitor to sheshah Suri.
I am an IT professional and in fact can make lot of money by developing IT Systems rather than writing of History about Gujjars but I am doing a community service here since we have been cheated of our History, by the historians of the slavery period of beloved Country ( Undivided India). Regards. AP Singh |

Dear Tahir, www.ams.org/samplings/feature-column/fcarc-india-zero1. Please click the above link to see the Chturbhujajee Temple and Vaillabhattaswamin temple built by Nagara Gujjars. 2. Chaturbhujaji temple is also there at Nagada, the capital of Nagara Gujjars during Gujjar Pratihar rule. 3. Lord Ram is belived to be the ancestors of Gujjars. In Bombay Gazetter, the Kasana Gujjars are said to be descendents of Kusha, the younger son of lord Rama. 4. All the temples of our ancestors are not worshipped by the Brahmins but by the direct descendents of them. That is the reason all the priests at Nagda templeare Gujjars themselves. 5. You will also see the numbers used in the temple built by Vaillabhatta swamin temple. You will also see in other thread ( of Gujjar inscription) that zero was invented during Gujjar rule by Varahmihir also having a Sanskrit name in the Lata region. Gujjar Pratihars, Gujjar Varajjara ( Bajjad) and Gujjar Nagara came from Lata region as per this inscription and Lata was the border Nagda valley in present day India. The Arabs and their local ally rashtrakutas were defeated by the Nagabhatta-I at Nagda valley. The myth about the Agnikund theory is nothing but a confederacy of Gujjars were formed at Arbuda mountains ( Mount Abu) mainly having four prominent Gujjar Gotra of Parihars, Solanki,Parmars and Chuahans. The Brahmin scholars have made poetry out of it and named it as Yagya. Mount Abu is very near to Nagda ( Udaipur). 6. Nagarhar ( present day Jalalabad in Afghanistan, Udaipur ( Nagda), Gwalior and Nagarkot ( present day Kangra was stronghold of Nagara Gujjars in the past. Muslims and Sikhs religion does not follow caste system but among Hindus, the Gujjars still go to Jaat dene " i,e,. to be blessed by our Great ancestors at their shrine at Bagar and Kangra. I 7. I will also request Deepak to visit the above site and place the pictures of these great monuments built by our Great Ancestors at this website and also Gujjar Chhora to place the same at Wiki. |

Well last name Singh itself is a honorable Title in Gurjar community just like as Verma , Rana,and in modern world Chowdhary etc. If I am right than in ancient time its a title given to the Kshatriya Kings and generals in the army , for there performance in the battle which is where it got famed and now days I think everybody start using it . I don't know the real history of origin of this Title , if some than please write it here.. and yes this is my last name and from hundreds of years my family is using this title as a last name I don't think it is right to change it just because everybody started using it after all it is our heritage. well my family line is Babre which interestingly means Tiger in Iranian as Singh means Lion in Sanskrit so almost similar  |

All for Nought By accident, it records the oldest "0" in India for which one can assign a definite date... Bill Casselman University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada cass at math.ubc.ca Mail to a friend Print this article The history of zero is a bit complicated. So is the history of "0". The scholarly literature on the subject is only tentative because much of the historical record is very sparse, whereas the popular literature is unfortunately and frequently both confident and in error. The first problem to come along is deciding exactly what one means by "zero" or, for that matter, "0". Is it a number in the mathematical sense - that is to say, the cardinality of the empty set? The length of a point? The result of subtracting 1 from 1? I am not going to engage in such deep matters, but rather in a much more pedestrian business. The digit "0" was a basic part of decimal place value notation. There is no doubt that it was invented in India, but exactly how and for what purpose is unclear, and probably always will be. This is not at first sight very complicated mathematics, but in truth it took far longer for humans to develop a convenient notation for calculating than it did for them to develop rigourous mathematical reasoning. The apparent simplicity of our current system is indeed a sign of its elegance. It often happens that the best mathematics, once seen, is seen to be obvious. I'm going to cover a very small part of the story. Mathematical tourism The city of Gwalior in India is located on the main rail line south from Delhi, just a bit below Agra, the site of the Taj Mahal. It is in the far north of Madyha Pradesh, and lies very near where the three northern states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh meet. It is in a region that has few hills and - for most of the year, like much of India - little water. Gwalior does not seem to be well known outside India, although it is certainly mentioned favourably in guide books. The reason for this favourable mention is that it happens to be the site of one of the most impressive of all medieval forts in a country full of impressive forts. The fort is famous inside the country not only for its size and beauty, but also for being the site of the last and futile stand of the Princess (Rani) of Jhansi during the rising of 1857-1858 against the British.

The city is now both sprawling and crowded, with a population of perhaps 2,000,000, but until recently it was relatively small, and designed to be small. The fort occupies a plateau in what is now the center of the city, but was once on its western boundary. The plateau is about 300 feet high built of basalt, rising steeply from the plain below. It is a bit less than two miles in length from north to south, maybe an average of a half mile from west to east. The site is of mathematical interest because of what is written on a tablet recording the establishment of a small 9th century Hindu temple on the eastern side of the plateau (marked by the on the nineteenth century map at the left). By accident, it records the oldest "0" in India for which one can assign a definite date. Attachments:

The temple The temple is dated to 876 A. D. and is much older than the current fort, whose construction was begun in the late 15th century, although it was built quite a while after the original one constructed on the plateau. It is, like many temples in India, monolithic - that is to say, originally carved out of one single chunk of stone. It was dedicated to Vishnu, but is no longer an active site of worship.

The temple is named Chatur-bhuja, that of the four-armed god. Who was reponsible for the (literal) defacement of the statue is not known to me. Attachments:

The tablet Just inside the inner chamber, on Vishnu's right hand side, is the dedication tablet. The tablet records the date (in the local era, which started in 57 B. C.), the dimension of a land grant to a neighbouring temple, and the size of a daily gift of flowers to be paid for from an endowment made to this temple. Attachments:
