Talk:Jhala (clan)

Latest comment: 2 months ago by R2dra in topic Sourcing

This article should be more detailed regarding history, heritage and culture of Jhala clan. and it should mention that Jhala is one of the 36 clans of Rajputs. and that their spelling differ based on region between Jhala, Zala and Jauvla. all being belonging to same family. I would request administrator to provide me with access to enrich the page with elaborate details regarding the clan with correct and valid sourcing ofcourse. .

Article title edit

The article was recently moved from "Jhala (clan)" to "Jhala clan". However, the clan is not named "Jhala clan" in the article, but Jhala, and disambiguations use brackets, so I moved the article back. Hekerui (talk) 13:35, 27 January 2012 (UTC)Reply


JHALA (clan) is VADNAGRA NAGARS as well from JUNAGADH - GUJARAT. Co incidentally spelling of JHALAS in English is same for both JHALA - NAGAR and JHALA - RAJPUT therefore several people get confused.

About : JHALA (clan) - VADNAGRA NAGARS (Brahmins) from Junagadh city of Gujarat. They are devotees of Lord Shiva and Lord Sri Krishna. When Lord Shiva got married to Shri.Parvati at that time Lord Shiva gifted a piece of land named as "HATKESHWARA" now called as "VADNAGAR" in Gujarat to NAGARS (Bharamins). Subsequently over past several years people from JHALA - VADNAGARA NAGAR community migrated to Junagadh - City of Gujarat and made that as base city. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.91.136.234 (talk) 10:26, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sourcing edit

This does not say they are called Makwana, merely that they claim descent from someone bearing that name. - Sitush (talk) 09:02, 28 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Harpal dev was the last makwana rajput whose descendants were called Jhala. R2dra (talk) 11:11, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Makwanas were originally from Kutch, driven eastward into Saurashtra and the rest of Gujarat by the warring Sumras of lower Sindh. They were a highly superstitious people whom, after some silly event transpired, decided to call themselves "Jhalas", which in Gujarati means 'snatched away'. This is the truth. Jhalas and Makwanas really are the same. I've got no reason to lie here and nearly every single source that mentions Jhalas, states they are the same as Makwanas. ShamusHarper (talk) 09:19, 28 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

See WP:OR and provide some reliable sources for review, then. We are not taking your word for it, nor using Raj sources, nor deploying synthesis. There certainly are snippet views on Google Books which suggests that Makwana and Jhala are the same thing, but there are also snippet views that distinguish them and other that say the Jhala are just one branch. - Sitush (talk) 09:45, 28 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

We can't take your word for it either. Provide reliable sources which state that 'Jhala are just one branch' and not Makwana like you claim. Also, I left several non-Raj sources: Source 1 Source 2 Source 3

^So it isn't an opinion, nor is it original research like you're slandering.

Furthermore, I do not agree with your opinion on Raj sources. You cannot just deem all of the 200+ years of 'Raj' sources as racist because of personal reasons. Honestly, that sort of thinking stems from misguided nationalism. Ideally, Raj sources should be taken on a case by case basis.ShamusHarper (talk) 00:33, 29 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately for your opinion, WP:CONSENSUS is that those Raj sources are unreliable, that Singhji is ditto, and the the census reports etc of the 1960s (and also the People of India studies of the 1990s) are plagiarised from Raj sources. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion but you cannot override consensus. - Sitush (talk) 23:13, 29 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
User:Sitush/CasteSources is a work in progress but it may assist you. - Sitush (talk) 23:47, 29 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Explain to me why Singhji is unreliable. And according to the Consensus page you linked to, it can change- "Consensus can change Policy:

Editors may propose a change to current consensus, especially to raise previously unconsidered arguments or circumstances. On the other hand, proposing to change a recent consensus can be disruptive.

Editors may propose a consensus change by discussion or editing. That said, in most cases, an editor who knows a proposed change will modify a matter resolved by past discussion should propose that change by discussion. Editors who revert a change proposed by an edit should generally avoid terse explanations (such as "against consensus") which provide little guidance to the proposing editor (or, if you do use such terse explanations, it is helpful to also include a link to the discussion where the consensus was formed)"

^Can you link me to this discussion where this concensus to not use Raj sources, was formed? ShamusHarper (talk) 01:20, 30 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

The Raj thing has come out of hundreds of discussions at hundreds of articles - I think I have already said this but there have also been discussions at venues such as WP:RSN and WP:HISTRS will also assist you. The Singhji thing has evolved from rather less discussions, beginning with one at WT:INB. Can you find me an academic source that cites him? That is a good test. There is no need to directly quote policy at me, thanks: I know what I am doing and if you think consensus is likely to change on the issue then I'm afraid your optimism is wildly misplaced. - Sitush (talk) 06:20, 30 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

There is a lot of details taht are lacking in this article. It simply talks about the Jhalas after their arrival in Gujarat. However jhala's history could be traced back to all the way till 5th century ehen they had established their rule in current day Sindh and Multan. The articles also slumps on a lot of princely states and estates of the dynasty. I'd like administrator to provide me with editing privilages so I could add a lot more information from correct sources ofcourse. Ajeet Sinh (talk) 13:21, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Expansion edit

Sitush and Utcursch, I have placed a fantastic open access book in Further Reading section. I am inviting you people to expand and work on this article if you find it interesting. I invited because such good quality sources on single subject are not easily available. Regards,--Nizil (talk) 13:09, 12 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

It does look rather good, thanks. I'm dealing with other stuff at the moment but doubtless it will be picked up. I realise it is open access but how weird that I turned in my Wikipedia Library De Gruyter subscription only last week because I'd found it to be of far less use for caste etc articles than I had expected. - Sitush (talk) 13:13, 12 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

During the 12th century, there was a war between Maharaja of Kirtigarh, Shri Kesar dev Makwana and emporer of sindh, Hamir Sumra. Only prince Kesardevji and Harpal devji survived that war. Eventually makawanas lost the war. Prince Harpal dev decided to hid him self in the woods. During his stay in jungle, he learned different arts and black magic from the rishi munies who were living there. He decided to get his kingdom back. He moved to ‘Anhilpur patan’ (Gujarat). He decided to stay at the place of hi relative Karnadev solanki. Due to his mastery in archery and sword fitting, he got the place in Raj Darbar of Anhilpur Patan. King of the state was concerned about the rebellious leader name ‘Babaro Bhut’. To test his bravery, Karna Dev(the king) sent Harpal dev to defeat Babaro.

Harpal dev won the battle against Babaro and with his great intellectuals skill, he got successful to make friendship with Babro. Babaro and his men, then rebuilt the fort of Patan. As a reward of Harpaldev's work, Karna dev gave him some villages near Patadi. Harpal dev got married to Shakti, the daughter of Karnadev solanki who helped him at initial stage. Shakti is the mother goddess of Jhalas today.
