The Bhati genealogy fraud: A case study. A revival.
Today we will deconstruct the Bhati genealogy and demolish their ridiculous claims of descent from the Yaduvansh once and for all. We will also see how they claim the Mughals and Ghurids to be Rajputs. 1/n

Our Raju friends complain that in my threads, I use sources authored by Brahmins to defame Rajus.
Worry not, this time I shall use your own sources commissioned by your own royals. First is the Tawarikh Jaisalmer, a 19th-century historical account of Jaisalmer...2/n

...authored by Diwan Nathmal Mehta under the orders of the then Maharwal of Jaisalmer. The second source we have here is titled "Pugal ka Itihas," a historical account of the Pugal Thikana of Bhati Rajus authored by Hari Singh Bhati. It also contains the genealogy of Bhatis. 3/n
Most of the information in "Pughal ka Itihas" is drawn from the Tawarikh Jaisalmer with slight changes, in an easier-to-read Hindi. The Bhati genealogy begins with the standard Puranic genealogical account of Lord Krishna. Noting special to see here. 4/n
The real fraud commences from the mythical Bhati ancestor named Gajsen, or Gajpat as in the Jadeja genealogy, who is said to be the 87th descendant of Lord Krishna. He allegedly founded the city of Ghazni in Afghanistan in his name in the first century CE.5/n
other tall claims Bhatis have made, as we will see further, we have more than enough reasons to doubt the veracity of this legend. Moreover, other than Bhati records fabricated by their Bhats, there are no records attesting to these claims. The Bhatis have similarly included..6/n
The most ridiculous of all frauds in the Bhati genealogy is the claim that even the Mughals were Yaduvanshi Bhati Rajus. The progenitor of Mughals, Chaghtai Khan referred to as Chigta in Tawarikh Jaisalmer, is said to be the son of Bhupat and the grandson of Bhati. 7/n
This Bhati was the patriarch of the Bhati clan. Moreover, in the Bhati genealogy, Chighta Bhati, ie Chaghtai Khan flourished in the 4th century CE. However, Khan actually lived in the 13th century CE, almost a millennium later than what the Bhatis claimed in their genealogy! 8/n
To add to the comedy, the Bhati genealogy asserts that Muhammad Ghori was a descendant of Chighta Bhati, aka Chagatai Khan, when in fact, Ghori flourished in the 12th century CE, thus predating Chaghtai. Moreover, the two belonged to entirely different ethnicities. Chaghtai...9/n
Chaghtai was a Mongol whereas Ghori was a Persian-speaking Tajik. Perhaps, Bhatis invented this legend of Yaduvanshi Rajput provenance of Mughals and Ghurids to save themselves from the embarrassment of having had unilateral female-mediated marital alliances with both. 10/
The Bhatti queen of Uchch had an extra-marital affair with Muhammad Ghori. She betrayed her husband and got him caught in an exchange for the promise of marriage to Muhammad Ghori. We shall discuss this episode in detail some other day. 11/n
The Bhati genealogical comedy isn't over yet. Jadeja, an allied group to the Bhatis, has entirely different things to say about some important details of their shared genealogy. Jadejas claim their patriarch Narpat to be a biological brother of the Bhati patriarch Bhupat. 12/n
Even Gajsen or Gajpat, the founder of Ghazni who was mentioned as a distant ancestor of the Bhatis in the Bhati genealogy is said to be a biological brother of the Jadeja patriarch. This genealogical hodge-podge gets murkier with the addition of Aspat who is said to be the...13/n
...progenitor of Mughals. This Aspat is entirely absent from the Bhati genealogy, where Mughals are a daughter group of Bhatis, unlike the Jadeja genealogy in which Mughals are a sister group. Moreover, the patriarchs of Bhatis, Jadejas, Chudasamas and Mughals, who are....14/n
biological brothers are said to be the son of a Devendra who, just like Aspat of the Jadeja genealogy, doesn't feature at all in the Bhati genealogy. This is a great point of contention between Jadejas and Bhatis with either party calling the genealogy of the other fake. 15/n
The jadejas have a saying asserting their ancestral connection with the Mughals. "असपता दिल्ली रजिया, नरपत नगरभेर, गजपत जा गिरनार में, भूपत जैसलमेर" Translation: Aspat rules Delhi (through his descendants the Mughals), Narpat rules Nagerbher(Sindh, through Chudasamas)...16/n
...Gajpat rules Gir(Jadejas) and Bhupat rules Jaisalmer (Bhatis).
A wise man said, "When aukaat is too little but the ego is too big, ridiculous claims have to be invented, then shreds of evidence have to be discovered to support ridiculous arguments." This statement...17/n

..accurately describes the predicament of our Registani upstart Raju friends who, out of a desperate need of an honourable history which they lacked, fabricated fanciful accounts of descent from Gods, and to make it funnier, even appropriated dynasties of foreign origins. 18/n
Also According to the Jadeja genealogy, their ancestor Vajranabha, the great-grandson of Sri Krishna, migrated to Egypt and established his kingdom there. His descendants ruled Egypt for 57 generations for a from the beginning of the...19/n

In other words, all the Egyptian Pharaohs were Yaduvanshi Rajus as per the Jadeja genealogy. Thus, the great Pyramids of Giza constructed in the 26th century BCE are fine examples of great Raju architecture. 20/n
