Jaisalmer Fort of Bhati Rajputs

Bhati or Bhatti is a clan of Rajputs,[1] Balmiki Mirasi,[2] Chuhras[3][need quotation to verify] Jats,[4] and Gurjars[5] found in India and Pakistan.[6]

The Bhati Rajputs (also known as Bargala) claim Chandravanshi origin.[7] Jaisalmer State was founded by the Bhati Rajputs and ruled it till Indian independence in 1947.

In Jaisalmer, the Bhati clan sometimes refer to themselves as the Yadavpati, reflecting their claimed mythological descent from Krishna and Yadu.[8]

Some Bhattis were nomadic cattle-keepers. In the years preceding the Indian rebellion of 1857, these groups lost land by decisions made by the British East India Company, which assigned to Jat peasants grazing lands formerly frequented by the Bhatis in the Delhi and Haryana regions. The British were not enamoured of nomadic tribes, whom they thought exacted protection in the areas that they visited, and the policies of land reform were designed in part to limit this mobility.[9]

One princess, a daughter of the Hindu Bhati ruling family in Dipalpur, was married to Salar Rajab, a Turkic Muslim ruler, and gave birth to Firuz Shah Tughlaq. This was one of several examples of inter-religious royal marriage alliances during the period of Turkic Muslim rule in the Indian subcontinent.[10] Rajput Bhati princesses were also married into the royal family of Jodhpur.[11]
