then who were Shilaharas and Chalukyas
by their birth and progeny.
Why Chalukyas had wedding relation with Shilaharas?
Why Shilahara and Chalukyas had promoted stone works, stone carvings and why they were masters of stone work to themselves?
King Sri Harsha, the great king of North and his huge army was pushed to dust from the banks of Narmada by land mines and cracking missiles of gun powder used for breaking of huge stones. Odders have the knowledge of preparation and usage of gun powder in mining time immemorial . The sub community of this job is called as Maddugaloru, the prepares of maddu, the powder used in Guns and crackers to make huge noise.

Odh
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
For other uses, see OD (disambiguation).
Odh (also
written 'Od' or 'Oad') (pronounced [oᶑ]: Sindhi: اوڏ, Urdu: اوڈ) are a Muslim Rajput community and a tribe with origins inSindh and Punjab in Pakistan and Rajasthan in India.
The tribe has a distinct and unique history dating back thousands of years.
They are considered to be of Muslim Rajput origin. However, not much is
documented about this tribe. One of the earliest reference to Odhs is found in
the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif
Bhitai, who has praised Ods for their hard work and simplicity.[1]
Contents
|
[edit]History
There are a number of
traditions of the origin of this tribe. One of tradition relates to an ancestor
by the name of Bhagirat.[2] Bhagirat
vowed never to drink twice from the same well, and so he dug a fresh well
everyday until one day he dug down and never came up. In honour of this
ancestor, the Oad took working as navies.
According to another
tradition, the ancestor of the Oad was Odang, a king of Orisa.
They then migrated from Orissa to Rajasthan, and from their migrated to Sindh and Punjab. They claim their original name was
Sagarbansi.[3]
[edit]Distribution
The Ods are a large
community spread over a large region with concentrations in Uttarakhand, Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana in India and in Sindh and Punjab in Pakistan. The Oads have been nomads for
centuries sinceMughals ruled South Asia, and were known in the South Asia as
indigenous civil engineers, constructors of ponds, walls, structures, canals
and embankments.
In Punjab, they are most
numerous in Lahore, and along the lower Indus and Chenab, especially around the city of Multan.[4]
[edit]Language
Those in Sindh, Haryana,
Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi and Rajasthan speak their own language called Oadki,
which resemblesMarathi and Gujarati with
borrowings from Marwari and Punjabi. The Od of Punjab, Pakistan speak Punjabi, while those of Haryana speak
Haryanvi.
[edit]Religion
The Hindu Oads are Shivites, and worship Shiva,
as oppose to other Punjab tribes that are
Vaishnavi. While those of Rajasthan,Haryana and Gujarat follow
a number of local deities, as well as being Shivite.[2] Oads
mainly worship their ancestors and lighten "Diya" on every Thursday.
During the reign of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir, many Oad converted to Islam.
The Muslim Oads
in Pakistan follow
the strict Sunni Ahle Hadith school.
[edit]Odh clans
The Odh community consist
of a number of exogamous clans which are known as gotras,
and marriages are forbidden with in the clan. The following is a list of their
main clans or gotras:

[edit]Current situation
The independence of Pakistan and India has effectively divided the Odh in two
distinct communities. In Pakistan ,
the Oads are Muslim, with the exception some Hindu Odhs in Sindh.
[edit]In Pakistan
The Odh community in Pakistan
remain associated with the building trade. A recent study made the following
discovery: Narain Das Oad has played an important role in the history of the
Odh of Sindh. He was born in the small town of Phulpoto in
the upper Sindh near the town of Ratodero in Larkana District. He became the first graduate
of Oad tribe in Sindh, and went on to become a lawyer and eventually a Judicial
Magistrate.[citation needed]
[edit]In India
[edit]In Delhi
In Delhi,
the community claim to be Suryavanshi Rajputs, who emigrated from Marwar. They are found mainly in Mehrauli, Sanjay Colony and Bhatti Mines
neighbourhoods. Their main clans in Delhi
are the Dewat, Panwar, Bhatti, Sisodia, Majoka, Shrawan, (Rathod)Rathore,
Chauhan, Kudawala(Bhatti) and Galgat. The community maintain its traditional
occupation of digging canals or working in mines. They are an extremely
marginal community, and child labour is fairly prevalent.[5]
[edit]In Rajasthan
In Rajasthan, the Oad claim descent from a Rajput king,
by the name Sagar. They are found mainly in Alwar and Sri Ganganagardistricts and divided into
number of exogamous clans, namely the Kudawla, Gundali, Beeka, Soora,
Kalhiya(Tanwar), Udesi, Galgat, Mudai, Gadai, Shrawan, Majoka, Yodha, Mangal, Nahar,
Gagwani, Lola and Japlot. They are largely engaged in digging earth,
construction of roads,Farming and masonry work. The Oad rajput speak Oadki
among themselves and Hindi with outsiders, and areVishnavi Hindus.[6]
[edit]In Haryana
In Haryana, the Oad mainly found in Panchkula, Hisar, Balawas village, Tohana,
Ratia, Fathehabad, Sirsa, Panipat, Sonipat, Hansi, Karnal, Kaithal, Faridabad,
Gurgaon and other parts of Haryana. In the History of Haryana Politic only
Sh.Gyan Chand Galgat, who has been elected MLA twice from "Ratia"
Constituency from [2004 to 2009] and again in [2009]. In District Hisar village
namely "HAZAMPUR" 80% Oad Community resides in Tohana and also in
many villages. In Haryana, the Education Level and living standard has
increased too much but still more improvement needs. .[3]
[edit]In Punjab
In Punjab, according to the traditions of the Odh
community, they are Rajputs of Udaipur, and were originally known as Ude,
which became corrupted to Odh. Most of the East Punjab Odh
have immigrated from territory that became Pakistan in
1947. They are found mainly in the districts of Ferozepur, Sangrur and Bhatinda. There traditional occupation was
earthwork, digging wells and construction of roads. The community is
endogamous, and maintain clan exogamy. There main clans are the Hadola Dao,
Hansi, Chitada, Mahdwara, Tehil and Mikrani.[7] A number of Oad families of the
Shrawan, Chauhan, Yodha clans have established themselves in Union Territory of Chandigarh'.

Patharkat
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
The Patharkat are a Hindu caste found in North India.
They are also known as Sangtarash.[1]
Contents
·
1 Origin
|
[edit]Origin
The Patharkat are a
sub-group of the larger Kanjar caste. Their name Patharkat in Hindi literally means stone cutters. Having
taken up the profession of stone cutting, this particular group of Kanjars broke all links with the parent
community, and the two communities do not now intermarry. They are found mainly
in Awadh, and their
concentrations are in the districts of Sitapur, Unnao, Raebareli, Hardoiand Lucknow.
In Lucknow ,
they are found mainly in the localities of Qaisar Bagh,
Saafatgang, Daligang, Bangla Bazar, Nishatgang, Lal Kuan and Chinhat. They
speak Awadhi among themselves and Hindi with
outsiders.[2]
In Bihar, the Patharkat are
found in the districts of Champaran, Arrah and Gaya.
They are divided into seven exogamous clans, the Sankat, Sanda, Bhains,
Marriya, Uthwar, Lahia and Baid. The Patharkat claim to have comme from Rajasthan some three hundred years ago. [3]
[edit]Present circumstances
The Patharkat are endogamous,
but avoid marrying among close, but they have no system of exogamous clans.
They are largely a landless and urban community, and their traditional
occupation remains the manufacturing of the Hindu idols. The Patharkat now buys stones
from quarries in western Uttar Pradesh,
and then engrave and cut the stones. A few Patharkat have abandoned their
traditional occupation and taken to wage labour. The Indian government has
given them scheduled caste status, which allowed some to access
affirmative action programmes. They are Hindu, and their customs
are similar to other Awadh Hindus.[4]
The Bihar Patharkat are a nomadic community, and
many are employed in quaries. They move from place to place, and live in
ecampments at the edges of towns. The Patharkat are strictly endogamous, and
practice clan exogamy.
They are almost totally illiterate, and are one of the most deprived community
in Bihar.[5]

Brief History of Vahelal - Posted by Kantilal D Patel (originally from Kanisa, Khambhat Taluko, Anand Jillo - Gujarat) presently of New Zealand on 10 September 2008
The following is based on description by Bhailalbhai Ashabhai Patel of Vahelal in his Booklet -" Vahelal - Aitiyasik Rooprekha" written in Gujarati during 1977 CE and witch is included by Kantilal in his book - “History of Leuva Patidar of Kanisa" currently being compiled by him.
Origin of Vahelal
Based on record of Vahivancha Barot and a booklet in Gujarati - "Vahelal - Aitiyasik Rooprekha" (a “Brief History of Vahelal”) by Bhailalbhai Ashabhai Patel of the village Vahelal published during 1977 CE, a Rabari (shepherd) named Vela established Vahelal during 519 CE and was so named after him.
As a legend goes, before the establishment of Vahelal, that location was a wooded pastureland and cowherds from adjacent places came to graze their animals. Further more, around then one of the cows of a cowherd regularly dribbled milk at a particular spot. Puzzled by this, the cowherds cleared the site when they uncovered ruins of a Shivalay including a Ling. They then built huts and established a settlement around that spot. Eventually on the spot of their find they built a new Shivalay and named it, “Varneshwar Mahadev". Renovated at different times in the past, the Shivalay still stands to day in the midst of the village.
During 1146 CE, when three Leuva Kanbi (Patidar) families first arrived here from Dabhoda (Vadodara) to settle, Narshipura Vania dominated Vahelal.
Three generations (around 1210 CE) after the arrival of the first group of Patidar another Leuva Patidar group (presently known as "Trija Bhagna" because it is made up of descendants of three sons of their ancestor Amin Pragdas) arrived and settled in Vahelal. This "Trija Bhagna" group is sub grouped in three groups namely-
1 "Chotha Bhagna" - those descending from Hathibhai the eldest son of Pragdas
2 "Vitthalbhaino Alias Jino Bhag" - those descending from Pragdas' second son Vitthalbhai
3 "Vallabhdasno Bhag" - those descending from Pragdas' third son Vallabhdas
Over and above this, a family of Savdas, the son of the daughter of Hathibhai’s great grandson, descending from Lalaji linage from Oad, came and settled here. His descendants are therefore known as "Oadia".
Around 1825 CE, another group from the neighbouring
A third family related to one of the Nani Khadki family also moved in. However, two or three descending families from it, to day identify themselves with the Nani Khadki group. In the interim there were also two Kadva Patidar families in settled in Vahelal who had no male issues and are therefore extinct.Thus, today all the Patidar of Vahelal are Leuva Patidars only.
Over several centuries, Patidars have been in majority and have held an upper hand in Vahelal. At the beginning of twentieth century there were round 150 Patidar Houses(with ???? families living jointly) increasing today to around 200 houses (????? families living jointly).
Over and above this today, there are several monocular families residing at Amdavad, Naroda and various other cities of
As Vahelal lies on the way to Marva via Kapadvanj from Amdavad, in olden days Jain Sadhus, (ministers) had established a Derasar (monastery) here. As always, Patidars of Vahelal jointly with Jains of the village have continued to welcome visiting Jain Ministers for their religious discourses.
By later half of the nineteenth century, a population of around 2000 of Vahelal could not support a proportionally large population of Vania. As a result, in time most of the Narshipura Vania as well as Dasha Shrimali and Mevada Vania who came and settled at a later stage in Vahelal gradually moved out and settled in Amdavad and Chhani near Vadodara. Most of the Narshipura Vania went and settled at Chhani.
In the interim period, brave, principled and enterprising Rajputs of several castes including Bihola, Solanki, Parmar, Chavada, Makawana, and Dodia also lived in Vahelal. They held land in partnership and maintained a social relation of give and take with Patidar. In the early to mid twentieth century, a Rajput Madhusingh and his sons Magansingh and Pratapsingh have held very high posts in Police Department, Pratapsingh being a Crime Branch Deputy D S P. However, over the period due to their financial decline, most of the Rajput families have moved out of Vahelal.
