Pratap Rao Gujar
Prataprao Gujar (actual name Kudtoji Gujar) was the third royal Sarnaubat (Commander-in-chief) of Shivaji's army, which was probably the most successful guerilla force in 17th century India. He was given the pseudonym of Prataprao (The brave) by Shivaji in acknowledgement of his bravery in the war against Mirza raje Jaisingh.
He was a highly gifted aristocratic general, who enjoyed the trust of his king and the loyalty of his troops. He defeated mughals in a famous battle of Salher.This was a major battle between mughals and marathas. His major drawback was his impulsive emotional nature.
A few months before Shivaji's coronation in 1674, Prataprao Gujar was sent to deal with the invading force lead by the Adilshahi general, Bahalol Khan. The Maratha army surrounded the camp of Bahalo Khan at the place of Naesari. Prataprao's forces defeated and captured the opposing general in the battle. In spite of specfic warnings against doing so by Shivaji, Prataprao released Bahalol Khan along troops and the seized war material, when Bahalol Khan promised not to invade Shivaji's territories again. Days after his release Bahalol Khan started preparing for a fresh invasion.
When Shivaji heard of about Prataprao decision, he was incensed and wrote an angry letter to his Sarnaubat. In a fit of anger and over reacting to the letter, Prataprao and six of his men attacked the camp of Bahalol Khan and were slaughtered. This event has been retold in the form of a Marathi poem "Saat" (Seven). The poem is written by famous poet Kusumagraj. This poem has also been sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
Shivaji's army avenged the death of their general, by defeating Baholol Khan and looting his jagir (fiefdom) under the leadership of Anaji and Hambirao Mohite.
Shivaji's second son, Rajaram, was later, married to the beautiful princess daughter of Prataprao Gujar.
This shows how brave we gujars were and are.
Regard,

Rajpoot are spreading more misinformation by stealing our history and presenting it as theirs. Even in international media like Discovery chanel And History chanel
,Rajpoot are shown as " Indian Warriors Called Kshatriya" ,such a blesphemy .Wikipedia has been now sabotaged for this propaganda and they are presenting themselves as only vedic dynasty and they have locked the wiki articles on gurjars after posting their delibrate conspired theoreical crap such as Gurjar came from cental asia and are foreigners ;that is, they are smacking their history on us. Its confirmed that they are of scythian stock from central asia who came here after being disposed by arabs and mongols .Now they are also claiming that Harsh Vardhan (Harshan=Harsana) was their king by posting some idiotic mismatch of criss-crossed confusion and fabrication .They also deleted names of great gurjar personalities from list in gurjar articles and instead added them in their list as rajput .Its they who have been waging their tails like pet dogs for mughals for 400 years and then for british until independence .All they did up to this time was to laze off in alcohal and women and now they show more proof of their dirty mentality by stealing our history by bribing britisher(big shitter) historians and Indian historians .They say they are "real king who have saved india from days ancient" ,what were they doing when Nadir shah looted delhi and massacred 200000+ innocent civillians .And when the british came, instead of fighting them ,they welcomed them and entertained them .British have been saying that rajpoots were their puppets all the while and they helped 20000 british occupy a land of 20 times more population by assisting them in battles against Indian kings.Now after british have gone they are againg decieving the Indian nation by bribing the historians to put them in good light and show them as patriots while most of them are traitors like Jai Chand .
Gurjar Vansh is the confedration of all the various real and true vedic kshatriya clans of solar and lunar lineages and their branches from the end of mahabharat times, this only explains their having more than 1200 clans and population spread accross all the northern sub continent progenated from 5000+ years ;not like rajpoots who barely have 36 clans so far devepod only in 700 years more or less;
and they say in their fabricated versions of puranas that they arose to annihilate buddhism and save brahmins ( they seem to have forgot that Harsh was buddhist) . Which kshatriya will annihilate one Indian religion for another Indian religion ? here they seem more like arabs than kshatriya. All they did was to betray their kings to foreign invaders in course of thousand years and grab their kingdoms and afterwards FORGE fictious vanshavali/lineage histories to legtimize their claims . Its they who betrayed us to mughals and to british ;nobody else.They say they're Rama descendents ; where were they when the historians were denouncing Kusha(Shri Rama Chandra'son) descendents i.e. Kushans as some non aryan tribes from central asia.
For experienced persons ,the shortcomming of internet are well known and Wikipedia is already notorious as lying propaganda tool for America and Britain because they controll it and China because they constantly monitor and filter it.But for a novice and everyone in general around the world wikipedia like internet databases are primary sources for getting information and knowledge about us.So its of utter and imediate importance that
... all those who are in professions dealing with computer and softwares ,all major gurjar research institutions, as well as all those spend much time on internet and all who can
......must contantly monitor carefully all informational content on internet espescially Wikipedia ,filter it and keep it under alert and strict vigil , and in correct state and manner so that nobody whether petty rajpoot ,pahari,kashmiri ,meena ,ahir or any d**n body are able steal our proud history and heritage from us anymore and that nobody desrespects or derogates us or our reputation in front of the world ever again .Lets take bake what is rightfully ours starting from this.
All proud gurjars ,...take action against plagiarism of Gurjar history by rajpoots, earnestly and immediatly without further ado and not let this insult happen anymore what so ever at all

Please see Supreme court judgment in case of Tej Singh Rao Vs State of Maharashtra dated 19.08.1992 to know HOW THE GREAT SHIVAJI MAHARAJ WAS CONNECTED TO GUJARS.....! (one may also like to see Nagpur Gajetteer-Chapters-the people-rural & urban population - marathas
There can not be any requirement / scope for further arguments how caste system is evolved in India.......It endorses the view that the comparative new concept of Maratha and Rajput as a caste is nothing but amalgum of superior clans of one of the most encient / old communities like Gujars.

Lol above discussion is joke. Each and every Gujjar or gurjar is an illegitimate Descendant of Rajput. According to Vyas Smriti kshatriya(Rajput) unsatisfied from first wife may have Unlawful Relationship from 2nd wife a gujjar women. According to Muzzafarnagar Gazzettear and Bhilwara Gazzettear, Uttarpradesh Gazzettear each and every Gujar is an illegitimate Descendant of a Rajput Father. The Current Descendants of PratapRao claim Ancestory from Badgurjar Rajput. The gujar branch of Maratha Kshatriya is a sub branch of Badgurjar Rajput . It's never the Rajput who claim Deccan kings , the Deccan kings themselves claim Rajput ancestry such as current heir of PratapRao gujar claim Rajput Ancestory.
