Revision as of 10:42, 26 April 2019

Bargujar also called Badgujar are one of the Suryavanshi Rajput clans of the Indian subcontinent. During Mughal Empire, many members of Bargujar Rajputs converted to Islam, of whom notable are Lalkhani and Sabitkhani tribe of Muslim Bargujar Rajputs. Therefore, Bargujar clan is found both in Hindu and Muslims.

The Bargujars form one of the many branches of Rajput clans of Indian subcontinent. They were vassals to Gurjara-Pratiharas. The Bargujars are said to have fought on the side of Prithvi Raj Chauhan against the Chandelas of Mahoba and earlier, they are said to have assisted Prithivi's grandfather in driving Tomars out of Delhi. During Muslim conquests in northern India, they were persecuted and to avoid genocide some changed their name to Sikarwar.

Barauli was a jagir during British India.

The title of Rao was first used by Raja Pratap Singh, the founder king of Barauli state. Bargujar Rajput's Bajgarhi state at the time of Raja Pirthi Raj and was prefixed to the name of the eldest son Rao Raja Raghuraj Singh. In 1931 title of Rao of Barauli was made hereditary by British.

  • Rao Karan Singh had adopted his grandson (Raj Kunwar), who was his daughter's and Rao Raghuraj Singh's son, the ruler of Bajgarhi estate, Aligarh.
  • Rao Raj Kunwar Singh, M.L.A., the last ruler of Barauli Estate

Rajas of Machari

The Bargujars find mention in inscriptions at Machari (Sanchari), inscriptions at Paranagar, inscriptions at Rajgarh (all near Alwar), mentioning that 'the rulers who took title of Raja of Machari belong to the Bargujar Rajput clan'. The capital of their Principality was Deoti. The Raja Bagh Singh of Bargujar clan is still worshiped as a clan-hero and his temple located at Rajgarh and whenever a son is born in family, they come here to offer their prayers. Among the notable chiefs of Bargujar are Raja Pratap Singh, close associate of Prithiviraj Chauhan, who founded his kingdom with capital at Barauli near Bulandshahar after defeating the Meos from Pahasu, Dibai and Anupshahr. He belonged to the Bargujar rulers of Macheri (Alwar) and was invited by Prithviraj Chauhan to this area.


Anupshahr

According to the Imperial Gazetteer of India the founder of Anupshahr was Bargujar clan of Rajput Raja named Anup Rai, and thus the date of foundation of present-day Anupshahr was between 1605 and 1628 (during the reign of the Moghul emperor Jahangir). Raja Anup Rai saved Jahangir during a lion hunt, by intercepting and then helping to kill a lion that attacked the emperor. Jahangir presented this area to Raja Anup Rai, and the city is named after him. Anup Rai built a fort nearby.

During the period of King Tarasingh (the 8th generation from Raja Anup Singh) this area progressed very much. At that time the area was known for Ayurvedic medicine and for business by boats in northern India.

Ghasera Fort

Main article: Ghasera Fort

The ruined Ghasera Fort lies at Ghasera village 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from Nuh city on Nun-Sohna road that was ruled by Bahadur Singh Bargujar, a Rajput chief of 11 villages, he was killed in 1753 by Muslim kings with the famous Jat king Surajmal of Bharatpur State after Jats besieged and ran over the Ghasera fort, after which Jats turned to Delhi by defeating Mughal king Ahmad Shah Bahadur and occupied the Red Fort there in 1754 CE.

Ruined walls and a grand entrance show that Ghasera was a historical village. This came into prominence in the 18th century when Bahadur Singh (a Rajput) had a fight with Jat Ruler of Bharatpur in 1753. In the battle, Bahadur Singh lost and his wives committed suicide.

Khandar Fort

Khandar Fort

Located on top of a strategic vertical hill, the Khandar Fort in Sawai Madhopur could never come under an easy attack and thus was truly regarded as invincible and was a favorite of many dynasties in India. It is also said that king of this fort never lost in war. This fort also tells some historical stories by the damaged walls and gates.

The fort was long ruled by the Sisodia kings of Mewar after which it was taken over by the Mughals for a short while before coming under the direct control of the Maharajas of Jaipur in the 18th century.

This fort also belonged to Bargujar Kings and was attacked by Allaudin Khilji. It is very near to the rivers as Chambal and Banas.

Distribution

They are mainly distributed parts of present day Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
