Hence the Pawars living here are known as Bhoyar-Pawar. "Bhoyar" is not a Corruption of "Parmar" but rather it is the name of a region. Therefore Pawars living in Bhoyar-Patti are known as Bhoyar-Pawar.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Parmar , also known as Panwar , Pawar , Powar or Bhoyar-Pawar is a Rajput clan[1] found in Northern and Central India, especially in Rajasthan , Gujarat , Madhya Pradesh , Haryana , Punjab , Uttarakhand , Himachal Pradesh , Uttar Pradesh , Bihar , Chattisgarh , Kutch , Sindh and North Maharashtra. The clan name is also used by Kolis.[2][3][4][5]

Branches of Parmars

The Kshatriya Parmar (Panwar) clan is divided into several classes according to time and circumstances . Rajput Parmar / Panwar majorly in the states of Rajasthan , Gujarat , Madhya Pradesh , Haryana , Punjab , Uttarakhand , Himachal Pradesh , Uttar Pradesh , Bihar , Chattisgarh , Kutch , Sindh etc. is the Rajput branch of this Parmar (Panwar) Kshatriya dynasty . Similarly , Vainganga Powar and Kshatriya Bhoyar Pawar are branches of Parmar (Panwar) Kshatriya dynasty in Madhya Bharat and Vidarbha i.e. {Betul , Chhindwara , Seoni , Balaghat} Districts of South Madhya Pradesh and {Wardha , Nagpur , Bhandara , Gondia} Districts of North Maharashtra . In Himachal Pradesh , the branches of this dynasty are Garwal/Himachali Parmar/Panwar . A large number of Parmar (Panwar) Rajput caste are also living in Malwa . Dewas and Dhar dynasty is related to Maratha Pawar clan. Maratha Pawar is a superior clan of Marathas in western Maharashtra . Some Parmar (Panwar) descendants are living till Karnataka . There are some branches of Parmar (Panwar) dynasty in Pakistan also where some of them have become Muslims.

Thus it is clear that today the Parmar (Panwar) dynasty has the following main branches :

1:- Parmar/Panwar Rajput

2:- Malwa Parmar/Panwar

3:- Himachali Parmar

4:- Ujjaini Parmar/Panwar

5:- Kshatriya Vainganga Powar

6:- Kshatriya Bhoyar Pawar

7:- Maratha Pawar clan

Thus it is clear that Abugarh born Parmars/Panwars of Agni [[1]] dynasty Kshatriyas are known by the name Rajput Parmar / Kshatriya Panwar / Ujjaini Parmar / Malwa Parmar / Vainganga Powar / Bhoyar Pawar / Powar/ Pawar / Panwar / Maratha Pawar in many regions of the country .

Apart from this, some Panwar gotras are also found among Sikhs, Jats, Muslims, Gujjars and they also consider themselves a part of the Parmar/Panwar Kshatriya dynasty, but there is no consensus on this and their claim is disputed.

The period between the seventh and the twelfth century witnessed gradual rise of a number of new royal-lineages in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, which came to constitute a social-political category known as 'Rajput'. Some of the major lineages were the Pratiharas of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and adjacent areas, the Guhilas and Chahamanas of Rajasthan, the Caulukyas or Solankis of Gujarat and Rajasthan and the Paramaras of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

By contrast in Rajasthan a single warrior group evolved called Rajput (from Rajaputra-sons of kings): they rarely engaged in farming, even to supervise farm labour as farming was literally beneath them, farming was for their peasant subjects.
