Sinsinwar
Sinsinwar is an Indian clan of Jats mainly found in the state of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana. The name Sinsinwar is derived from the village Sinsini in Bharatpur, Rajasthan. Rulers of the Bharatpur state belong to this clan such as Maharaja Suraj Mal.[1][2][3][4][5]
Etymology
The word Sinsinwar was originated from the name of village Sinsini, to which ancestral lineage of Bharatpur rulers belong.[6]
Origin
There are multiple theories claiming the origin of Sinsinwar rulers.
One theory states that Sinsinwars are originated from Yadava’s[7] while the other theory claims their descent from Jadaun Rajputs.[8] Historian Ram Pande notes several issues when examining the veracity of the Jadaun Rajput legend: Sinsini had never been part of Karauli State, the caste of a child is not based on the mother's caste, and they would have become Darogas when rejected as Rajputs instead of Jats.[9]
Vishvendra Singh, titular Maharaja of Bharatpur, also stated that they are descendants of Yaduvanshi Jats.[10]
According to modern research, the Sinsinwar lineage is believed to have derived its surname from the village of Sinsini, where their descendants have originated.[11]
