KARAULI JADAUN RAJPUT GENEALOGICAL FRAUD

A THREAD🧵

The only source that connects Karauli Jadons with early medieval Yaduvansha claimant Kings of Mathura and Bayana is a very sketchy recent text Charan text called "Vritta Vilas".

The Genealogy linking 2 hazari Gopaldas Jadon with kings mentioned in Bayana and Mathura inscriptions was first daiwn and aligned with the Yaduvansha rulers of Bayana and Mathura by Cunningham. He even re-christened Vijayadhiraja of Mathura inscription as Vijaypal 😂

Karauli was held by Malwa Sultans & the Mughal Empire Fauzdars until Akbar granted it as watan to Gopaldas, the actual historical founder of Karauli Jadon Family.19th century Charan texts like Vritta Vilas create narrative that it was originally held by Yadus from Mathura.

The #RealYadava Jadhavraos of Devgiri are included in this Jadon legitimisation narrative wherein it is said that Bhawanpal, an imaginary brother of Yaduvansha(not Jadaun) ruler Vijaydhiraja(Vijaypal in Vritta Vilas) of Bayana inscription, built the Devgiri fort in southern India

But we know the fort was constructed by Yadava Jadhavrao ruler Bhillamadeva V. The historically attested Jadhavrao rulers not only predate petty mansabdar chiefs of Karauli by almost a millenium but also Vijaydhiraja(not Jadaun)(12th century) of Bayana inscription by 3 centuries.

Even the Rajasthani Charan Bhats of Kishangarh traced descent of Karauli chiefs from #RealYadava Achlojiraje Jadhavrao in a geneology dated 1910. This was probably when the Karauli also claimed descent from a Bangali named Jujad as evident from Karauli Gazetter dated 1908.

Akbar's 2 hazari Mansabdar and 1st Karauli Vartandar Gopaldas was the best chief of the family. Gopaldas's sons and grandsons like Mukund Jadaun and Jagman Jadaun worked as meagerly 500 zat 400 sowar mansabdars of Mughal Empire.

All British writers prior to the very recent "Vritta Varta"(probably made up after Cunningham deciphered Mathura-Bayana inscriptions) say that the history of Jadons prior to 2k Mansabdar Gopaldas is obscure or not written & rests upon fake legends and genealogies.
