History
According to legend and the puranas, Tomara's are the descendants of the Pandava Prince Arjun, through his great grandson Emperor Janamejaya, son of Emperor Parikshit. Tomara clans include kshatriyas -Rajput, Jatt and Gurjar's. Historian Dr. Augustus Hoernle believes that Tomara's were one of the ruling clan of the Gurjaras (or Gujjars) in the Gujara-Pratihara era of North India- 4th - 8th century A.D.


Lord Krishna displays his Vishvarupa (Universal Form) to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.


Pandavs
Prince Dhritrashtra, blind by birth and the elder son of Kuru Scion Vichitraveer abdicated the throne in favor of his younger brother Pandu whose sons were the Pandav's. King Pandu later abdicated the throne back to his elder brother due to his ill health. Their son's were involved in a great battle and finally Yudhishtra became the king after defeating Duyodhana.
King Yudhishtra founded the city of Indraprastha in the Kuru kingdom and later abdicated in favour of Parikshit, the grandson of his brother Arjuna. Capital city after Mahabharata war remained Hastinapur which was later flooded and the capital of the Pandava kingdom was moved eastwards. Indraprastha remained one of the major cities of Kuru-Panchala Empire for many centuries.


Dilli (DELHI)
The modern city of Delhi is believed to be on the site of Indraprastha. Delhi was established in 736CE by the Tomar/Tuar king Anangpal Tomar-I who re-established the Pandava ancestral capital.
“The Kingdom of Delhi was founded by Anangpal Tomar, whose dynasty, by virtue of descent from the Pandavas, claimed to be Lords Paramount of India”
—From A Pageant of India by Adolf Simon Waley


Anangpal Tomar
The Tomar Rajput dynasty of Delhi lasted until Anangpal Tomar-III, who to quote Lt. Col. Tod, in his Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan was "justly entitled to be termed the paramount sovereign of Hindustan". Anangpal Tomar III appointed his grandson (daughter's son, and son of King of Ajmer), Prithviraj Chauhan, as the heir apparent. Some historians believe that Prithvaraj was merely a caretaker king as long as his grandfather was alive. Prithviraj was never crowned in Delhi, hence adding weight to the view that the Chauhan ruler usurped the throne from his maternal grandfather.[citation needed]. Anangpal Tomar III had 23 brothers and they each had territory of their own.
According to records kept by Jagas of Tomar/ Tanwar Rajputs, King Anangpal made Prithviraj only as caretaker when he went on a religious pilgrimage, as his own sons were very small at that time. When King Anangpal returned back, Prithviraj refused to hand over the kingdom. (Jagas are hereditary tribal record keepers of Rajputs.)


Following their loss of control at Delhi after the defeat at Tarain of the Indian Confederacy against Shahbuddin Ghori, a branch of the Tomar clan established itself in the area of modern Gwalior in northern Madhya Pradesh. Later - Virsingh Deo and his descendant Man Singh Tomar built a strong fortress citadel which still stands there.The Mughal emperor Akbar captured Gwalior in 1559. Some Tomar Rajputs converted to Islam during the Muslim-Mughal rule; Tomar Muslim Rajputs are found in western Rajasthan, Pakistan and Sindh.
Tomars in north India


Tomars moved from Delhi to Haryana (Bhiwani, Mahendergarh and Karnal Districts), Madya Pradesh (Gwalior, and Morena and Bhind Districts), Punjab, and Rajasthan (Patan State and surrounding areas). They are spread from Punjab, to Western Uttar Pradesh (Meerut, Badaun, Bareilly, Baraut, Muzaffarnagar Ghaziabad, Aligarh, Bulandshahr), Bewar (Mainpuri) significant parts of Himachal Pradesh, to western Rajastan to Northern Madhya Pradesh,bhavnagar(gujrat) and even some in Pakistan.


Vikramaditya
Samrat Vikramaditya, king of Ujjain, won his paramount place in Indian story by driving out Scythian invaders. An era, the Vikram Samvat, beginning in B.C. 57, was founded in honor of his achievements. He reigned at Ujjain in Malwa. He was a liberal ruler, a patron of learning, encouraged art. He was a follower of the Brahmanical religion, a worshiper of Siva and Vishnu[11]. This great Vikramaditya of the year 56 BC is claimed to be a prince of the Tuár dynasty[12], and is supposed to have reigned at Ujjain (Ujjáyini).[13]
According to the Hindu traditions in India and Nepal, the widely used ancient calendar is Vikrama Samvat or Vikrama's era. This is said to have been started by the legendary king following his victory over the Sakas or Synthians, in 56 BC.


Shakhas or sub-clans


Jatu Rajputs
These are descendents of Thakur Jatu singh and now inhabit surrounding villages of Bhiwani (Haryana).It is believed that there were 1440 villages of Tanwar Rajputs from Bhiwani to Agroha. However, now there are not that many villages left but there still are a significant number of villages of Tanwar Rajputs. A few famous ones are Bawani Khera, Bapora, Luhari Jatu and Tigrana, Ratera (Ratangarh in past) Chhapar, Devsar, Haluwas, Paluwas, are a few bigger villages in District Bhiwani.


The three brothers Jatu,Raghu and Sutraola divided amongst themselves the Parganah of Hansi', each share was called a Tappa and the names Tappa Jatu, Tappa Raghu and Tappa Sutraola were for years used in the Government Records which divisions are well known to this day. The descendants of the three brothers went on as opportunity afforded adding to their possessions. Those of Jatu's were the most extensive. Umr Singh of the family took Tosham hence that Ilaqua (Area) was known as Umrain tappa. Similarly Bhiwani was called Bachoan tappa after Bacho who had taken possession of it. Jatu's descendants at Sewani were called Raes, those at Tulwundi were called Ranas hence the village is still called and recorded as Tulwundi Rana, while those at Kulheri called Chowdris and Pica still retain these titles.


Janghára Rajputs
Known as a large and turbulent branch of the Tomar/Tuar Rajput clan,[16] the Janghara Rajputs were readily recruited by the British Indian Army.
The turbulent nature of the tribe is further enhanced by the origin of the name Janghara being derived from the words, Jang (war) and Ahára (hunger) meaning "the men who hunger for war".
After the fall of Delhi to the Chauhans, the Janghara sept parted from the main Tomar branch in disgust. They entered Rohilkhund under the leadership of the prince Dhápu Dhám whose warlike nature was proverbial. A couplet sung by women of the clan states
"Neeche Darti upar Ram, beech mein lade Dhapu Dham"
meaning "Below is Earth, above is Lord Ram. Between the two, fights Dhápu Dhám"


The Janghara Rajputs of Bareilly claim to have ejected the Gwálas in 1388CE. in 1405CE they expelled the Ahirs from their Kingdoms. The Katehriya Rajputs were also defeated and exiled from Rohilkhund by the Janghara Rai's .
“The Jangháras have always been turbulent and warlike; they should furnish the (British Indian) army with some excellent recruits”
—Handbook on Rajputs.


Jarral Rajputs
Originally a branch of Tomar/Tuar Rajputs, they gained prominence after their conversion to Islam in the 12th century. They are descendants of Pandavas and ruled a certain territory of Northern India from a place later came to be known as Kalanaur. They fought against Muhammad Ghor in both the battles of 1191 and 1192 joining Prithviraja Chauhan of Ajmer. They were ferocious and battle hardy Rajputs. Even after conversion they were fond of battles and seized Rajauri from the Pal rulers in 1193 AD.


Jarrals enjoyed fighting the Afghans, the Sikhs, the Dogras and the British and never rested but expanded their state in great length and width of the Punjab Hills. They were ousted from Rajauri State by the combined forces of Sikhs, Dogras and British in 1846. Later, knowing their feats of bravery and courage, the British befriended with them that helped them great in the latter years. It is one of the highest castes of Tomar but due to conversion to Islam were excommunicated by the clan and were not mentioned by the Sagas who note, maintain and narrate rajput family trees. They reside in India, Jammu, Kashmir, Punjab and other parts now in Pakistan. The descendents of Jarral Rulers reside in Musaman Burj, Wazirabad in Pakistan.


Pathania Rajputs
Descendants of Raja Jhet pal, younger brother of Jaipal tuar of Delhi. Established his kingdom at Paithan, now called pathankot. Their kingdom was called Dhameri which was later renamed Nurpur. Famous for their resistance against foreign rule, which they proved by giving battle to invaders till 1849 A.D., after which the Kingdom was annexed by the British, the Raja being a minor. This clan has to its credit three Maha Vir Chakra winners in the Indian Army. This clan has also won many other gallantry awards while serving in the British army of India.


Janjua Rajputs
The Janjua Rajput clan claim descendancy from the Pandava dynasty through the Pandav Prince Arjun. Prince Arjun, known as the Achilles of India, was famous for his valour. He was eulogised in the Mahabharata epic as the perfect Kshatriya warrior. He conquered many powerful kingdoms in the Mahabharata epic and was the main lead in the battle field of Kurukshetra. Arjun's great grandson, Maharaja Janamejaya, is an apical ancestor of the Janjuas. Janamejaya was later the ruling Emperor of the Kingdom of Hastinapur, the capital of which was Indraprasta (modern day Delhi). Regarding the Janjuas descent from the Pandavas dynasty, the Bali and Bhimwal generals of Raja Dhrupet Dev of Mathura, recorded that the Janjua Raja Dhrupet Dev was the descendant of Emperor Janamejaya of the Pandava dynasty of Prince Arjun. Sir Lepel H Griffin K.C.S.I. had also recorded in the early 1900s that the Janjua were Pandavas in origin.


Beruari
Beruari/Beruar/Birwar is one of the most dominating rajput sub caste of eastern UP. According to local sources, area of present days Balia and Mirzapur district was once governed by Sudras of Berua caste. A tomar prince defeated them and established the rule of dharma. He and his decedents later called as Berua+ari (Beruari), i.e., enemy of Beruas. There are many villages of this clan in Mithilanchal (Bihar) also. Hati is one of the prominent village of this clan. They are being treated as Amnekh (Superior) rajput clan in Bihar. Others

Founding of Delhi by Tomars
Pasanaha Chariu of Vibudh Shridhar (VS 1189-1230) an Apabhramsha writer, provides the first reference to the legend of the origin of the name Dhilli for Delhi.


There are countless villages in Haryana country. The villagers there work hard. They don't accept domination of others, and are experts in making the blood of their enemies flow. Indra himself praises this country. The capital of this country is Dhilli.

Iron pillar of Chandragupta with a inscription by Anangpal I
Today Gurjars have around 20 villages of Tomar or Tanwar Gujjars in and around Delhi which makes the perception strong that this was originally a Gurjar clan.
