Mihir bhoj caste

King Mihir Bhoj or Bhoja I'(836 to 885 CE) was a Rajput ruler[1] of the Pratihara clan[2][3] belonging to the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty.[4][5] Mihir Bhoja was also known by the name of ‘Adivarah' as he was a devotee of the Hindu God Vishnu.[6][7]

King Mihir Bhoja or Bhoja I of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty of Rajputs.[8][9]

The word 'Gurjara' does not refers to any caste but the region between Gujrat and Rajasthan.[10][11] Moreover, the 11th century invader Muhammad Ghori has also been called with the titles, 'Gurjar-naresh' and 'Gurjaradheesh' in the book Prithviraja-raso of Chand Bardai (Court poet of King Prithviraj Chauhan) only because of the fact that he won some parts of the Gurjara region i.e., the region between present day Gujrat and Rajasthan states of the Indian subcontinent.[12][13] Even at present there is an organisation known as the 'Gurjar-Gaur Brahmin Sangathan' of the Gaur Brahmin community of India.[14][15] Here too the term 'Gurjar' only signifies their place of origin and not some caste or tribe. Thus, the term 'Gurjara' in the Gujara-Pratihara dynasty is same as the term 'Maratha' that was used for the rulers from the parts of Maharashtra state[16] of Indian subcontinent irrespective of their castes.[17]

The Historians of the famous Banaras Hindu University(BHU) said that King Mihir Bhoja was a Rajput ruler belonging to the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty of the 9th century in an interview.[18][19] (information also available on the official page of danik bhaskar newspaper of India) The Pratihara dynasty has also been described as a great Rajput dynasty in the inscriptions of: Kadwaha, Rajor, Deoli, Radhanpur, Karhar, Sajjan, Nilgund and Baroda.[20][21][22] The Arab traveller Sulaiman has described Mihir Bhoja, a Rajput king as the greatest enemy of the Islam religion.[23]

The descendants of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty are still alive and further divided into 4 princely states:[24]

• Nagod state of Madhya Pradesh

(Prince-Kunwar Arunoday Singh Parihar) [Chief state of the Pratihara dynasty][25]

• Khaneti state of Himachal Pradesh

(Prince-Kunwar Gauravchand Singh Parihar)[26]

• Kotkhai state of Himachal Pradesh

(Prince-Thakur Tribhuwan Singh Parihar)[27]

• Jigni state of Madhya Pradesh

(Prince-Kunwar Anumit Pratap Singh Parihar)[28]
