Bargujar
Clan of Rajputs in India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History and Origin
Similar to several other Rajput clans, the Badgujars also claim descent from the ancient Suryavanshi king Rama.[6][7]
The Bargujars ruled over Rajorgarh, Dausa, Deoti and Ghasira, Macheri.[8][9][10][11][12] They were expelled from Dausa, Rajorgarh and Deoti by Kachhwaha Rajputs when they migrated to Dhundhar. In 11th century Dulha Rai, won the areas of Dausa and Deoti from the Badgujar Rajputs, who were thus reduced to status of a feudatory or jagirdars.[13][14][15] In 18th century Surajmal with the help of Mughal wazir took the Bargujar stronghold of Ghasera from its ruler Bahadur Singh Badgurjar which was again recovered by Bahadur Singh's son with the help of Imad ul MulK.[16]
