Muslim Rajputs (Punjabi: مسلمان راجپوت, Musalman Rajputs) are the Rajputs that converted to Islam. Muslim Rajputs avidly took part in government work as politicians, Prime Ministers, Chief Ministers, Governors of Provincial states, Official Government Ministers, such as Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Quaid-e-Azam) the father of Pakistan and his sister Fatima Jinnah the Mother of Pakistan their ancestors belongs to Bhatia clan of Rajputs from Paneli village in Kathiawar, Gujarat. many Pakistani politicians belongs to Rajput clans who served as Prime Minister of Pakistan. First elected Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was Bhutta/Bhutto Rajput from Larkana, Sindh and her daughter Benazir Bhutto who served as Prime Minister of Pakistan two times. Feroz Khan Noon the 7th Prime Minister of Pakistan belongs to Noon clan of Rajput from Sargodha, Punjab. Muhammad Khan Junejo the 11th Prime Minister of Pakistan was Junejo Rajput from Tharparkar, Sindh. In Azad Kashmir's political scene, the Rajputs have been major players. Arguably the leading politician in Azad Kashmir is Sardar Sikandar Hayat Khan Former Prime Minister and President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Muslim Rajputs, being recognised in history as the warrior aristocracy, prior to this they were designated by the British Empire as a Martial Race and recruited into the Imperial Army. Muslim Rajputs naturally engaged in the Pakistani military in strong numbers, reaching ranks of Generals and the highest grade of Chief of Staff such as 7th Chief of Army Staff General Tikka Khan, Narma, Rajput and the 10th Chief of Army Satff General Asif Nawaz Khan Janjua.

History

The term Rajput is traditionally applied to the original Suryavanshi, Chandravanshi and Agnivanshi clans, the ancient ruling dynasties of India

Muslim conquest of South Asia

The history of the Muslim Rajput coincides with the Muslim Conquest of India. At the time of arrival of Islam, the north and western regions of India were ruled by Rajput clans. The Rajputs and Muslim armies fought many battles for the control of South Asia. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni conquered the regal power of Rajput Maharaja Jayapala Shahi of the North Western Indian region by 1026, through successive battles.

Towards the end of the 13th century Sultan Muiz-uldin Muhammad of Ghor conquered Delhi after defeating last defence of the Rajputs, co-ordinated by Maharaja Prithvi Raj Chauhan and established the Muslim empire by 1206. Qutb-ud-din Aybak declared himself the first Sultan of Delhi.

In 1527, the Muslim Janjua Rajput clan aided the Mughal conquest of India by taking part in the Imperial Mughal armies as Generals. It must also be mentioned here that Hindu Rajputs also took part in these conquests as allies and even took part in marriages with the Mughals such as the Kachwaha Rajput Clan (who gave Rani Jodhabai's hand to Mughal Emperor Akbar), Raja Man Singh aided Emperor Akbar in 1568 against the Sesodias.

The Mughal princes and Emperors had maternal Rajput blood. Emperor Muazzam Shah Alam Bahadar Shah 's mother was a Muslim Rajput Nawab Bai Begum Sahiba (second wife of Emperor Aurangzeb) being the daughter of Raja Taj-ud-Din Jarral (Raja Chatar Shena Jarral) the late Raja of Rajauri, in Kashmir. Crown Prince Salim's mother was a Kachwaha Rajput princess, the sister of Jaipur's Maharaja Man Singh Kachwaha.

Conversion to Islam

Many Rajput clans had converted to Islam during the early 12th century and since conversion have remained loyal to their faith. Rajputs were converted to Islam by the Muslim Sufis missionaries of the famed Chistiya, Qadriya orders and many others. Some conversions also took place for political reasons. The Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal dynasty encouraged the martial Rajput clans to convert to Islam. Conversions to Islam continued into the 19th century period of the British Raj.

The fact of subsequent conversion to other faiths, did not deprive them of this heritage; just as the Greeks, after their conversion to Christianity, did not lose pride in the mighty achievements of their ancestors, of the Italians in the great days of the Roman Republic and early empire...Christians, Jews, Parsees, Moslems. Indian converts to these religions never ceased to be Indian on account of a change of their faith....

— From The Discovery of India by Jawaharlal Nehru

Nehru also mentioned his own personal experience with Muslim Rajputs as he grew up, "I grew to know; the Rajput peasant and petty landholder, still proud of his race and ancestry, even though he might have changed his faith and adopted Islam." More importantly he bears testament to the fact that despite his change of faith, a Rajput is still a Rajput.

The general conversion of the Muhammadan Rajputs from Hinduism is supposed to have taken place towards the end of the 13th or early 14th century AD. The Muhammadan conquests undoubtedly accelerated this change of religion, but the preaching of several renowned Muhammadan saints, especially Bawa Farid of Pakpattan, whose eloquence drew large numbers to hear him, helped considerably to this end...

— From Punjabi Musalmans by J.M.Wikeley

Jawaharlal Nehru made mention of Islam's mass appeal, "...The impact of the invaders of the north-west and Islam on India had been considerable. It pointed out and shown up the abuses that had crept up into Hindu society-the petrifaction of caste, untouchability, exclusiveness carried to fantastic lengths. The idea of brotherhood of Islam and of the theoretical equality of its adherents made a powerful appeal, especially those of the Hindu fold who were denied any semblance of equal treatment..."

He further stated the conversions of Hindu upper castes to Islam, "Some individuals belonging to the higher castes also adopted the new faith, either because of a real change of belief, or, more often, for political economic reasons....though all their social structure was based on the group (caste/social class), in matters of religion they were highly individualistic...It is worth noting as a rule, conversions to Islam were group conversions...Among the upper castes individuals may change their religion...almost an entire village would convert...group life as well as well as their functions continued as before with only minor variations with regards worship etc."

Sir Denzil Ibbetson recorded the prominent positions of the Musalmán (Muslim) Rajputs many times, from their courage and valiant martial tradition, to some clans lack of difference from their Hindu counterparts in some regions.

Recent conversions and ethos

Regarding their rule as Muslim Rajput chiefs of multi faith subjects, it is recorded in the Jhelum District Gazetteer "thoroughly convinced of the truth of their own Islamic creed, though they are by no means intolerant or fanatical."

The Rajput conversions attracted criticism from their Hindu counterparts. In fact a testimony of the steadfast practice of Islam by the Muslim Rajputs;

By and large, the only converts who keep the prescriptions of the (Islamic) Faith intact are the Muslim Rajputs

— From Looking back on India by Hubert Evans

There is an interesting case of this happening up until the recent British Raj era of India's history which established a precedent in their government. In the state of Rajgarh, the ruling Rajput Chief began to show a tendency towards Islam and got into difficulties with his Hindu caste peers over this. This occurred during the period of Sir John Lawrence's Viceroy period. His open following of Islamic traditions had infuriated his peers and feelings were so strong against him that he chose to abdicate the royal throne and retire to his new found faith. The subsequent inquiry against him however showed that he was a good ruler and no misgovernment was charged against him and his subjects were satisfied with his rule. A year later this Rajput chief openly declared the Kalima (Muslim affirmation of embracing Islam) and renounced the Hindu faith. His sons also joined him. This case established for the British Raj the precedent that no leader or ruler can be replaced simply because of his change of creed. Regardless of the feelings of his peers, it was the quality of his rule that mattered.

There is also recorded instances of recent conversions of Rajputs to Islam in Western Uttar Pradesh, Khurja tahsil of Bulanshahr.

But despite the difference in faith, where the question has arisen of Common Rajput honour, there have been instances where both Muslim and Hindu Rajputs have united together against threats from external ethnic groups.

Muslim Gautama Thakurs

An interesting example is also of the Gautamana Thakurs of Uttar Pradesh, India. The tribe consisting of both HIndus and Muslims, co exist as a single tribe, supported each other staunchly through the Pre Partition Communal riots and have continued their respect towards one another despite the two distinct faiths of Islam and Hinduism.<ref<India Today</ref>

Beliefs and customs of Muslim Rajputs

Change of name

A custom during these conversions was to adopt a new name to reflect their change of faith. Many Rajput kings changed their names, but also retained their ancestral/lineal titles such as tribal Clan names. This sense of identity has never been lost and Islam did in fact support and recognize tribal identity.

Marriages

Hindu Rajput code dictates that Rajputs can only marry amongst other Rajputs. However, tradition of marriages into only one group or clan because of caste reasons is not permitted in Islam. This led to a great change in the traditional rajput marital policy. Muslim Rajputs therefore started to marry from other dominant Aristocratic Muslim clans. This was to continue the tradition of royal/strategic marriages without prejudice to Rajput affiliation. This was further realized when some major Rajput clans of Punjab intermarried into other clans of foreign descent. However, some Muslim Rajputs still follow the custom of only marrying into other Rajput clans only.

Being recent converts to Islam from a culturally rich Rajput background, there was very little difference between Rajasthani and U.P. Hindu and Muslim Rajputs (outside of religious practices). Hence up until recently, marriages between Muslim and Hindu Rajputs also took place.

Genealogical family trees

This is a strong tradition that exists amongst Rajputs of all faiths, the recording of family names and continuance of the family tree. Muslim Rajputs of prominence hold and continue to record their genealogical trees since their Hindu past even after their conversion to Islam, to the present day.

Inheritance

A reference to certain customs of inheritance and marriage of Muslim Rajputs is mentioned on this link in relation to Hindu Rajputs and other tribes.

Demographics

The 1931 census of British India was the last to record caste affiliation in a manner that provides reliable information on Rajput demographics. Any present-day estimates are therefore speculative; they also vary widely.

The 1931 census reported a total of 10.7 million people self-describing as Rajput. Of this population, about 8.6 million people also self-described as being Hindu, about 2.1 million as being Muslim Rajput and about 50,000 as being Sikh Rajput by religion.

Titles

Majority of Muslim Rajputs use their ancient Royal titles such as Raja, Rana, Rao and Rai. All these titles are originated from the ancient Sanskrit word Rajanya.

Many Muslim Rajputs were also conferred titles by the Delhi Sultans and the Mughal Emperors such as Malik (Royal, King), Nawab ( Provincial Governor), Sirdar (Chief), Khan, Chaudhry, Mian and Mirza (Royal prince).A majority of hindu Rjputs also used the title of Sheikh after embracing Islam.

It was not uncommon for such titles to continue down the line of descent. Although the majority of Muslim Rajputs use Raja as their ancestral title, some also adopted the Persian title of Mirza instead of Rajput to distinguish their Muslim identity from their previous Hindu one as it is a Persian word meaning prince of the blood, the equivalent of Raj-putra. Although the Rajputs of the Jarral dynasty were ordained as Mirza's after their intermarriage with the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir. That lineage today resides in Saman Burj, Wazirabad and some continue to use Mirza as prefix but the majority descendents of Jarral Rajputs continue to use Raja as recognised by the Queen.

The Janjua Rajputs of Jhelum were bestowed the title of Sultan, currently still used and recognised in Kusuk, Watli and the Sultan of Makhiala. It was bestowed upon the Houses of Watli and Makhiala by Emperor Babur is only used by the one head man of each Dynasty respectively. The current Sultan of Watli Fort and riyasat of Watli being Raja Sultan Azmat Hayat Janjua.

The Bais Rajputs of Awadh were describe as the 'Best dressed and housed people of southern Oudh.' Nearly half of Bais Rajputs to day are Muslim.

British Raj references of Muslim Rajputs

A glossary of the tribes and castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province based on the census report for the Punjab, 1883 written by Sir Denzil Ibbetson has reference to the Mangral Rajput. Under Western Rajputs, he writes that "The third Group is the Rajpoots of the western hills including the Salt Range Tract, comprising both dominant tribes of proud position such as Janjua and Mongrel Rajpoots from the Jammu hills"

During the British era, the English quickly recognised the martial spirit of the Muslim Rajput and conferred great respect on their prominent clans and also documented their presence in the British army, praising their Martial traditions and abilities.

In 1922 there is a mention of Muslim Rajputs having their own regiments as well as taking part in other famous regiments;

• 18th Musalman Rajput regiment
• Punjabi Musalmans
• 35th Scinde Horse
• 36th Jacob's Horse
• 17th Musalman Rajput regiment of Wana, Bengal Army
• Mauritius 18th Muslim Rajput regiment

The Jhelum District Gazetteer states clearly the esteem of the Muslim Rajput tribes of Janjua and Tiwana;

"the recruiting ground par excellence for Punjábi Musalmáns...The Janjúas of the Salt Range are considered second to none in martial spirit and tradition, and with the Tiwánás form the élite of the Punjábi Musalmáns

Sir Lepel H. Griffin states;

The Janjuahs furnish excellent Cavalry recruits.....The Janjua clan are famous Muslim Rajputs of the Punjab region

Many Muslim Bais Rajputs were also recognised in the British Raj from Oudh, Lucknow, Punjab and Kashmir. The soldiers of the Bais Rajput were also given the title 'Bhale Sultan' due to there bravery on the battle field and were also well known for there tank building. More can be seen in the article Bais Rajput.

Sardar Bahadur Lieutenant Colonel Raja Atta Ullah Khan Jarral of Rajaur'and later Wazirabad' - He served in the Hodson's Horse and 9th and 10th Bengal Lancers. Wounded many a time and was a highly decorated soldier of his time. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and from the year 1885–1891, was designated as the British Envoy (Ambassador) to Afghanistan. He was also conferred the title of Sardar Bahadur by the British Raj. Punjab Chiefs (Lahore 1909, p100) notes, " (he) received Orders of Merit and of British India. In special acknowledgement of his services, a grant of 600 acres (2.4 km²) in Rukhanwala, Tahsil Kasur, Lahore, was made to him and his heirs in perpetuity." He was highly respected by the British who further granted him the personal title of Raja also.

Sardar Bahadur Malik Jahan Khan Tiwana - of Jahanabad, established a reputation as valiant, gallant and faithful in his time, being conferred also the titles of, "...Sardar Bahadur for conspicuous bravery and merit..."

Sardar Bahadur Captain Hussain Baksh Khan Janjua - was a decorated and highly respected Chief during the British Raj. He was conferred the title of Sardar Bahadur for his bravery and courage.

All above, indicating a strong and continued martial tradition even into the present day with high ranking military officers listed in the below sections.

Rajput of the Punjab Hill States and Kashmir

History of the Panjab Tribes by J. Hutchinson and J.P.Vogel lists a total of 22 states (16 Hindu and 6 Muhammaddan) that formed the State of Jammu following the conquest of Kashmir by Raja Ranjit Singh in 1820. Of these 6 Muhammaddan States, two (Kotli and Punch) were ruled by Mangrals, two (Bhimber and Khari-Khariyala) were ruled by Chibs one (Rajouri) was ruled by the Jarrals and one (Khashtwar) was ruled by the Khashtwaria. Of these 22 states, 21 formed a pact with Ranjit Singh and formed the State of Jammu. Only Poonch ruled by the Mangrals retained a state of semi-autonomy. Following the War of 1947 Poonch was divided and is now split between Pakistan Administered Kashmir Poonch District (AJK) and Indian Administered Kashmir Poonch.

As stated in History of the Panjab Hill States by J.Hutchinson and J.P. Vogel: "Kotli was founded about the fifteenth century by a branch of the royal family of Kashmir. Kotli and Punch remained independent until subdued by Ranjit Singh in 1815 and 1819 respectively."

The royal family of Kashmir which Hutchinson and Vogel are referring to is the family of Raja Mangar Pal the son of Raja Hani Dev and the ancestor of the Mangral rajput.

Kotli was historically known as Kotli Mangrallan.

There is a famous saying in Kashmir: "Kotli Mangrallan da, Rajouri Jarallan da, Bhimber Chiban da, Mirpur Gakharan da, Khari Sohlana da"

Translation:

• Kotli is ruled by the Mangral
• Rajouri is ruled by the Jarral
• Bhimber is ruled by the Chib
• Mirpur is ruled by the Gakhar
• Khari Sharif is ruled by the Sohlan

The main historical muslim rajput clans from Kashmir are therefore the Mangral, Jarrall, Chib and Gakhar. These clans remain dominant in Pakistan administered Azad Jammu & Kashmir.

According to the legend, Raja Mair (whose name before conversion was Raja Bhagir Dev) was son of the Raja of Jammu and had come to the Dhanni area (present day Chakwal) for hunting. He fell in love with a local Muslim Gujjar woman, converted to Islam and married her.
