From Jodhpur to Haryana . . . History Retold
We are Champawat Balludasot Rathore, descendants of the great warrior Rao Champa, younger brother of Rao Jodha, Founder of Jodhpur. Of many (36) lineages that sprawled and were, therefore, named after their founders, Balludasot Champawats are the ones from Th. Balludas, founder of the village Harsolav in Jodhpur. Our last seven generations have settled at village Bajekan and Dhingsara in Fathehabad and Sirsa district, respectively.
The crisis at the Jodhpur Darbar in the early nineteenth century gave rise to many opponents who fought for the throne. Th. Nahar Singh Ji as Chief of Army Staff of Jodhpur State
with Pokhran Thakur Sahab and other thakurs of Jodhpur state fought battle with the temporary crowned prince of
Jodhpur
for 14 years for justice to the actual
heir of the throne.
Th. Nahar Singh ji lost all his four sons in that ongoing battle. Eventually when he felt that there is no end to the battle, he left Jodhpur with Maharaja Dhaukal Singh Ji (the actual heir of the throne). On their way towards north, when they were approaching towards Bharatpur, Britishers were fighting with the Bharatpur rulers and were not able to break through the Bharatpur fort for which they demanded help from Th. Nahar Singh Ji who was traveling with a large number of Rajput warriors with him. A treaty was signed between Britishers and Th. Nahar Singh Ji, that if they help them in breaking the Bharatpur Fort, they will recognize Dhaukal Singh Ji as His Highness and give property in reward. After conquering the Bharatpur Fort and getting the Britishers to win the battle Maharaja Dhaukal Singh Ji was given the title of HH and was awarded the property of Jahajgarh of 28 villages.
Th. Nahar Singh Ji stayed for some time at Mahansar in Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan.
Then he left the place after sometime due to draught conditions and proceeded towards Hissar district in
Haryana and constructed a mini fort at a place
Bhana near Hissar. After some time he got friendly with the Nawab of Fatehabad and got influenced by the
Sant Fakir Baba Mansagar Ji Maharaj at village Dhingsara near Fatehabad and shifted there. With the blessings of
Mansagar Baba he got married at an old age because he lost all his four sons in Jodhpur battle. He got married to
Tanwar Rajputs in Bikaner district and was blessed with three sons.
In 1883 he was appointed as the S.P of Sirsa district, the only Indian gazetted officer in British rule. Hissar district which was from Loharu to Fazilkan was broken into two districts, Hissar and Sirsa. Th. Nahar Singh Ji was the S.P of Sirsa and remained in service for 3 years only but due to his old age he resigned from the post and the district was again clubbed with into Hissar district. Here he was rewarded with 14 villages. Th. Nahar Singh Ji laid out the plan of Sirsa city with architectural help of Hissar D.C.
Our last seven generations are now settled in Bajekan and Dhingsara in Sirsa and Fatehabad district, respectively.
