the community "Karadia Rajput" originated at the time of mughal
empire..(when the king was Akbar).
Akbar had many rajput friends and
were invited to marry their children within the two
communities.one
group agreed and the other rejected this proposal.
The group that
rejected emerged out as Karadia Rajput.
Again the name "Karadia"
actually emerges out of two hindi words "kar+diya" since this community
rejected the proposal, Mughal emperors had some red eye and imposed some
rules like pay certain tax if u dont agree with the proposal.
Hence the
community paid the tax ( which we call "kar"..and the combined name
"kar+diya" ie Karadia emerged out).
karadia rajput is kar diya as one of my friends said .in 1630 we had
to leave rajasthan and we migrated towards south passing through gujarat and king allowed us to stay in gujarat after seeing our bravery so we
will mainly finds karadia in costal area of gujarat .
we were come from rajasthan that time we know rajput but after that when mugal badsa take the seat
of delhi mean delhi king he waqnts to control on other rajput kingdom
they put rules as under
1) give them tax (kar or lagan).
2) married rajput girls with mugal boys.
as above rule who follow the frist(1) rule and give heavy taxes to mugal
empiors so that rajput kingdom become in very poor condition so they
loose war and not in condition to protect their kingdom . They Told
karadia rajput because they give taxes ( kar or lagan ) .
According
to the Rajput bards the Chauhan is one of the four Agnikula or 'fire
sprung' tribes who were created by the gods in the anali kund or
'fountain of fire' on Mount Abu to fight against the Asuras or demons.
Chauhan is also one of the 36 (royal) ruling races of the Rajputs.
Hada
The
city of Jhalawar is situated in the south-eastern region of Rajasthan, a
region widely known as Hadoti (Hadavati), the land of Hadas.
The Hadas
are a major branch of the great Chauhan clan of Agnikula Rajputs.
In the 12th century A.D., Hada Rao Deva conquered this territory and
founded Bundi state and Hadauti.
Later in the early 17th century A. D.
during the reign of Mughal emperor Jahangir, the Ruler of Bundi, Rao
Ratan Singh gave the smaller principality of Kota to his son, Madho
Singh, but when Sahajahan became the emperor, he issued a Farmaan in the
name of Madho Singh, recognizing as him the King of Kota.
The domain of
the Hadas of Bundi and Kota extended from the hills of Bundi in the
west to the Malwa plateau in the east, with a similar expense from north
to south.
The State of Jhalawar was founded on 8 April, 1838, out of the Kota
territory.
Jhalawar state got rise as a result of a treaty between
English rulers, Kota state, and Malwa state.

Sisodia
Mewar
is the oldest kingdom of the world. Mewar or Udaipur state was founded
by Guhil 568 AD, and his descendants have ruled over the area ever
since.
Separated from the rest
of India by mountains and dense forests, Mewar developed the spirit of
iron discipline and stoic resolve, which was to become its most salient
feature and to arm its determined
Sisodia,
the major clan of Mewar since Maharana HAMIR SINGH I (1326-1364). Prior
to that, since Guhil (569-586) founded the dynasty, the original
Guhilot family ruled Mewar.
However, in the 12th century, Chittor came
under attack and the Mewar capital was relocated at AHAR. It was during
this period that there was a FAMILY SPLIT.
For reasons unknown, the
breakaway occurred possibly towards the end of the reign of Rawal KARAN
(RAN) SINGH I (1158-1168). Two of his sons, Mahap and Rahap, quit Ahar,
possibly in anger that another son, KSHEM SINGH had been declared
Karan's heir.
Mahap established a small, independent kingdom at
Dungarpur.
Rahap defeated Mokal, the Paramara (Parihara) Prince of
Mandor at SISODA. He established a junior branch of the Guhilot family
at Sisoda, naming his clan Sisodias after the town, and taking the title
of 'Rana'.
Sisoda,
a town about 15 km. northwest of NATHDWARA, which became the
headquarters of the breakaway branch of the ruling Guhilot family of
Mewar, naming themselves SISODIA after the town. See following entry,
and MEWAR FAMILY SPLIT.
Genealogy: The line of succession of the Sisodia Ranas was Rahap,
Narpat, Dinkaran, Jaskaran Nagpal, Puran Pal, Prithi Pal, Bhuvan Singh,
Bhim Singh, Jai Singh and Laksha (or Lakshman) Singh.
Laksha was killed at the first sack of Chittor (1303), as was the ruler
of Mewar, Rawal RATAN SINGH I. Laksha's grandson, Hamir succeeded him,
and also the king. Thus the Sisodias became the ruling family of Mewar
with HAMIR SINGH I (1326-1364), who replaced the age-old, traditional
title of 'Rawal' with that of the Sisodias, 'Rana', extending it to
'Maharana'.
In his Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, James TOD recounts an
amusing story of the origin of the name Sisodia. He claims an old holy
man near Bhainsrorgarh told it to him.
In these wilds, an ancient Rana of Chittor (actually Ahar, as his
patronymic in this tale is Ahariya) sat down to a got (feast) consisting
of the game slain in the chase: and being very hungry, he hastily
swallowed a piece of meat to which a gadfly adhered.
The fly grievously
tormented the Rana's stomach, and he sent for a physician.
The wise man
(bedi) secretly ordered an attendant to cut off the tip of a cow's ear,
as the only means of saving the monarch's life.
On obtaining this
forbidden morsel (the cow being sacred to a Hindu, the consumption of
beef is therefore anathema), the bedi folded it in a piece of thin
cloth, and attaching a string to it, made the royal patient swallow it.
The gadfly fastened on to the bait, and was dragged to light. The
physician was rewarded; but the curious Rana insisted on knowing by what
means the cure was effected.
When he heard that a piece of sacred kine
had passed his lips, he determined to expiate the enormity in a manner
that its heinousness required, and to swallow boiling lead (sisa)! A
vessel was put on the fire, and half a ser soon melted, when, praying
that his involuntary offence might be forgiven, he boldly drank it off;
but lo! It passed through him like water. From that day, the name of the
tribe was changed from Aharya to Sisodia (possibly after the miraculous
dose of molten lead, 'sisa').
Told called it "an absurd tale"; as stated above, the name Sisodia was
derived from the village of Sesoda in western Mewar. Author,
Chandradioji Sisodia, writing in the time of Maharana Fateh Singh, paid
the clan this eulogistic (and, of course, biased) tribute:
The noblest of the noble race of Rajputs, represent the elder branch of
the Suryanvanshi (Children of the Sun) Raghuvansi, another patronymic
derived from the predecessor of Rama from whom (as genealogists state),
all the solar lines descended. The titles of many of these families are
disputed. But the entire Aryan or Hindu race yield unanimous franchise
to the Chief of the Sisodias, as the legitimate heir to the throne of
Many, Ishwaku, Delipa, Raghu, Darasratha, and Rama, and style him
'Hindua Suraj' (sun of the Hindu race) and
'Yavadaryakulakamladhivarkara' (sun of the entire Aryan race).
He is
universally allowed to be the first of the 36 royal clans, therefore, as
the crowning ornament of the Aryan aristocracy is quite bey
