The Tomars/ Tanwars Rajput

The Tomars/ Tanwars established a state in present day [Delhi]], Haryana, and Eastern Punjab,
rebuilding and founding in 736 AD later on Tomar Rajput establish their rule in Central India
Under Man Singh tomar. the city of Dhiliki, ancient Inderprastha and modern day Delhi.
Tomars/ Tanwars, being of Chandravanshi (Bharatvanshi) lineage, descended from Mahabharat's
great hero, Arjun, through his son, Abhimanyu, and grandson, Prikshit.

According to 'Jagas' of Tomars/ Tanwars, King Anangpal-II handed over the kingdom to
Prithviraj when he went on a religious pilgrimage. However, Prithviraj refused to hand over the
kingdom when King Anangpal-II returned from pilgrimage. Younger Branches of Tomar
Kingdom were established after Gazni's invasion between 998AD and 1050 AD at Dhameri now
called Nurpur and Patan in Rajasthan. Raja Jaypal Tomar was ruler of Dilli at the time of Gazni
Invasion.Later Tomar Rajputs Establish their Rule in Madhya Pardesh

The Tomaras (Hindi - तँवर , तोमर) (also called Tanwar and Toor) are believed to be an ancient clan of the
Chandravanshi lineage

Dilli

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. 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 Tomar made
Prithviraj Chauhan only as caretaker when he went on a religious pilgrimage, as his own sons
were very small at that time. When King Anangpal Tomar returned back, Prithviraj refused to
hand over the kingdom to his maternal grandfather. (Jagas are hereditary tribal record keepers of
Rajputs.)

Tomar Migration after Fall of Rajput confederacy

Following their loss of control at Delhi after the defeat at Tarain of the Indian Confederacy
against Shahbuddin Ghori, the three scion's of Delhi Tomar ruler moved from Delhi and later
established themselves at

1. Achalgarh and later at Patan-Tanwarawati - Rao Salivahaanji Tomar

2. Tuargarh, Narwar - Modern day Morena District - Rao Tonpalji Tomar.
1. Later - Rao 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.
3. Runija near Jaisalmer, now famous for Tomar Saint Baba Ramdevji - Raja Ajmalji Tomar

Some Tomar Rajputs converted to Islam during the Muslim-Mughal rule. Some, especially in the
West U.P. migrated to other parts of the country in order to save their religion, and became
traders adopting the Vaishya caste.

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

 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.

हरियाणए दे से असंखगाम, गामियण जणि अणवरथ काम|

परचक्क विहट्टणु सिरिसंघट्टणु, जो सुरव इणा परिगणियं|
रिउ रुहिरावट्टणु बिउलु पवट्टणु, ढिल्ली नामेण जि भणियं|

Translation: 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.

जहिं असिवर तोडिय रिउ कवालु, णरणाहु पसिद्धउ अणंगवालु ||

वलभर कम्पाविउ णायरायु, माणिणियण मणसंजनीय ||

Translation: The ruler Anangapal is famous, he can slay his enemies with his sword. The weight
(of the Iron pillar) caused the Nagaraj to shake.
Old Fort and lake outside it, Delhi

A VS 1383 inscription in Delhi Museum confirms the founding of Delhi by the Tomars:

दे शोऽस्ति हरियानाख्यो पॄथिव्यां स्वर्गसन्निभः |

ढिल्लिकाख्या पुरी तत्र तोमरै रस्ति निर्मिता ||

Prithviraj Raso also confirms the founding by the Tomars and the legend of the loose nail (i.e.,
the Iron pillar):

हुं गड्डि गयौ किल्ली सज्जीव हल्लाय करी ढिल्ली सईव |

फिरि व्यास कहै सुनि अनंगराइ भवितव्य बात मेटी न जाइ ||

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. These Gurjar Tanwars proved
to be the toughest repellents to the Britishers in 1857 during the first war of independence. They
captured the Matcalfe house for 12 days cutting all supplies to British Armies and declaring
independence for Delhi (though for a small period of time only).

Rathore Rajputs belong from SuryavansThe Rathores gradually spread across Marwar, forming a
brotherhood of landowners and village chieftains, loosely bound to each other by ties of clan and
caste. An epoch in the history both of Marwar and of the Rathores was marked by Rao Jodha, a
warrior who founded a kingdom that grew to encompass all of Marwar. He also founded the city
of Jodhpur in 1459, and moved his capital thither from Mandore. One of his sons, Rao Bika, with
the help of his uncle Rawat Kandhal, established the town of Bikaner in 1488, in the Jangladesh
region lying to the north of Marwar; that town was to become the seat of a second major Rathore
kingdom. Some of these migrations from Marwar into Gujarat caused changes in language and
the spelling of Rathore to Rathod, which is seen in clans present in Gujarat. Rathods of Gujarat
trace their history to the city Jodhpur.

Rathore Rajput rule many Kingdoms:

Marwar (1226-1949),Bikaner (1488-1949),Kishangarh (1611-1949),Idar (1728–1949),Ratlam
(1651–1949),Sitamau (1701–1949),Sailana (1730–1949),Alirajpur(1701–
1949),Manda,Poonch(1596–1798)

Independent India

On India's independence in 1947, there are 600 Princely States out of which Rajputs were ruling
over more than 400 princely state so they were given three choices, join one of the two states
Indian or Pakistan, or remain independent. Rajput rulers acceded to newly independent India;
Rajputana was renamed Rajasthan and became an Indian state in 1950. The Maharajas were
given special recognitions and an annual amount termed privy-purse was endowed them.

Many of the Rajput Maharajas entered politics and served India as elected representatives. In
1971, Indira Gandhi "de-recognized" the Maharajas and abolished the privy-purses. As a result,
the Maharajas had to transform some of their palaces into hotels and tourist destinations. Today,
the Maharajas still fulfill some of the ceremonial duties as recognized elders and private citizens
in India.
