Missing Raigar Clan

Historically it is proven that Regars are originally Kshatriyas and belonged to Rajputana.

According to Census of India 1891, the Regar caste was classified as Regar (now known as Regar/Raigar) in Group 11 (Salt and Lime Workers, page 197) under Class V Artisans (page 196), while Chamar caste is mentioned separately under Class VII (page 199). Reference https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/28412

According to Census of India 1901, here also Raigar/Regar/Regar caste and Chamar/Jatav are mentioned separately in Census of India 1901. For Raigar/Regar/Regar caste see page 343-344 and for Chamar caste see page 320. Reference https://archive.org/details/in.gov.ignca.30982

Similarly, according to Census of India 1911 (page 158) and Census of India 1921 (page 158), Raigar/Regar belongs to Rajputana. Here also Raigar/Regar/Regar caste and Chamar/Jatav are mentioned separately. Reference https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/32444

The Census of India, 1931 presented a combined caste list of selected castes. In 1936, the official Scheduled Caste list was presented by the Government of India in which there is no mention of Regar/Regar caste. Hence the Regar caste was not a Scheduled Caste. Reference https://socialjustice.gov.in/public/ckeditor/upload/82951673327147.PDF

The certificate submitted by the “Rajasthan Provincial Hindu Mahasabha, Ajmer, Rajasthan” dated 28 July 1941 states “It is certified that following the scriptures, ancient history and previous texts proves that the Regar caste is a Suryavanshi branch originating from the regional, hence all Hindu Aryan men and women are requested to treat them like regional Rajputs.”

After the independence of India, in the census of 1951, Regar/Regar caste was suddenly mentioned in the Scheduled Caste.

An ancient step well of the Regar community is present in village Hurda, district Bhilwara (Rajasthan) and an inscription is also present there. There are about 150 families of Regars there. Elderly people of 70-80 years say about the step well of Kana Udeniya that when our forefathers were alive, they used to say about this step well that this step well is a thousand years old. This step well is adjacent to the Regars' locality and is in ruins. There is about 40 bigha land attached to this step well which is today in the possession of the Regars of Hurda. At one time, this land was irrigated from this step well. There is a small pillar-like stone in front of this step well on which letters are engraved. It is in simple language and is quite clear. We read the inscription which is as follows-' Shri Ramji Mati Samvat 1062 V. Tithi Vaishakh Budh 2... Regar Kana in Karanaji's estate... The step well is of our caste Udiya Rupesh Pannaji artisan... The inscription is not written by Brahmin Gangaram Sah Harjiram Tated Na Deva's son Kana Nai got it constructed. It is clear from this inscription that this step well was constructed by Kana Regar, gotra Udiyania in Samvat 1062. In this regard, there is a famous couplet 'Kan Khudai Bavdi, Garhpat Hurda village'. It is clear from this inscription that this inscription is 1003 years old. This inscription also proves that this caste was called by the name Regar even 1003 years ago. Hurda is the tehsil headquarters. This subdivision Gulabpura is situated in Bhilwara district. Some years ago it was Hurda subdivision which later got transferred to Gulabpura. This is an old village. There is an ancient temple of Lord Shiva in the middle of Hurda village. There is a stone inscription in front of it. This stone inscription proves that this temple is two thousand years old. This also automatically proves that Hurda village has been inhabited for more than two thousand years. It is said that during the reign of Marathas, Hurda was the district headquarters. Marathas had horses of good breed which were fed with barley taken from this village. This village produced excellent quality barley. The barley here was yellow and large like Harada. Therefore, the name of this village was earlier Harada and later it got corrupted to Hurda. From all these facts, it can be concluded that Hurda village was inhabited more than two thousand years ago. Looking at the present population of Regars in Hurda, Kana Udeniya's step well and the stone inscription, it can be said that Regars have been living in this village since its inception. It is natural that Kana Udeniya's ancestors must have been living there even before he built the step well. Considering all the aspects, it becomes clear that people of the Regar caste lived in Hurda village at least two thousand years ago. The Hurda stone inscription is a very important and solid basis for establishing the antiquity of the Regar caste. Such solid evidence was not available anywhere before this stone inscription. This stone inscription throws light on the aspects like origin, antiquity, system and economic condition of the Regar caste. This is an important inscription regarding the Regar caste.

Like Haridwar, Pushkar is also a very big pilgrimage place for Hindus. Being the biggest pilgrimage place amongst all the pilgrimage places, it is called Tirtharaj Pushkar. There are a total of 52 ghats in Pushkar lake. The biggest among them is Gau Ghat. This Gau Ghat was built in Samvat 989 by Badri Bakolia(Raigar), a resident of Gundi. It is clearly mentioned in the books of Bahi Bhaats of Fagi. Gundi is a small village which is located near Fagi in Jaipur district (Rajasthan).

Despite the above facts, Regar caste is written along with Chamar caste, whereas Regar is not a caste but a clan of Rajput caste which is Suryavanshi Kshatriya branch, just like Rathore Rajput, Chauhan Rajput etc. Regar Rajput. As the years passed, Regar caste was classified in Chamar/Jatav category as their caste group. No one checked the history where the caste was originally classified.

Gohtar Rajputs original rulers of sambnagri(now samba)

the region was originally ruled by the Gohtar (or Ghotar) clan of Chandravanshi Rajputs. The Gohtar seat was at Sambnagri under Raja Kahal Singh. The transition of power occurred when his daughter, Princess Gyan Devi, married Malh Dev. Following an alliance with the Delhi Sultanate, Malh Dev was titled Malh Khan, and his descendants, the Sambyals, became the dominant house. The Gohtar lineage continues to venerate Raja Ratan Singh Ji, who was renamed Sidh Baba Bhairon Nath Ji by Guru Gorakhnath, as their ancestral Sidh.
