The Rahar (or Raher, Rad, Rahad, Rar, Radh) is a gotra of Jats found in Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh states of India.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

Origin of name[]

It is very likely that King (रड़्���़) may have given name to Rad (राड़) clan (Radda→) as we get Jat (जाट) from Jatta (जट्ट) in Sanskrit.^{[citation needed]}

Some historians^[who?] believe that Rad people were always ready for war and one of the best Warriors of Jat Community hence the name as Rad (राड़) in Rajasthani Language means war.^[6] They have brotherhood with Brar as name of both gotra are so similar. As some historians says these both gotra are same but due to Language pronunciation looks different.

Rahars in Punjab[]
