They also say that they are called Raja, because their tribe have always given Kings to the country. These two statements at once recall the account given by Al-Masudi of the Kings of Gandhara in the middle of the 10th century. " The King of El-Kandahar," says he, " who is one of the Kings of Es-Sind ruling over this country, is called Jahaj; this name is common to all sovereigns of that country." The same name Chach is seen here: "Jamd'ah-yi brahman. I have memorized all four kutub-i Hind: Rg, Jaj, Assam, Atharin" see Chachnama 1939, 18; 22. Translators have made a mess of the name, which also occurs in my mother's clan name (JAji or YAji, one who performs Yagna) and their ancient abodes near Kannauj (JAjmau). "The Bráhman Dynasty. Though we have no reason to complain of any want of detail respecting the political transactions of this dynasty, yet we are left in considerable doubt respecting the chronological adjustment of the few reigns which it comprises, and even the very name of Chach is a subject of some uncertainty. Gladwin has "Juj;" * Briggs has "Huj;" * the two Manuscripts in the Bibliothèque Royale have "Hoj;" * Reinaud spells the name "Tchotch;" * Renouard leans to "Jaj," as he considers it a corruption of Yajnya; * S. de Sacy gives reasons for considering it to be "Hijaj;" * Pottinger writes "Chach;" * and he is followed by all English authors. This is certainly in conformity with native usage, and we have several existing instances of the same combination—as Chachpúr, Cháchar, Cháchagám, Chachí, Chachar, and similar names of places in the valley of Indus." There has to be a Yusufzai connection to these Chachi folk. I would not be surprised if the Alkozai and Durrani have some connection too since "most recent common ancestor of the Yusufzai Khans lived at some time between 700 to 500 years ago & they share a common ancestor with R1a1a-M17 Durrani Khans at some time between 1100 to 1300 years ago." Chach of Alor Sindh in 700 AD, under the Brahmin dynasty Chach of Alor (610–682)() was a Brahmin chamberlain and secretary to Rai Sahasi II of the Rai Dynasty, and succeeded him to the throne of Sindh.() The history of Chach is related in the Chach Nama, a book about the history of Sindh. In the 35th year of the reign of the Raja Sahasi Rai II (636 AD), the Chach Nama reports the repulsion of an Arab raid on Debal and Thana. The raid was meant for the purpose of looting the coastal cities, and not actually permitted by the Caliph Umar (634–644), who later dismissed the governor of Bahrain for raiding without permission. In 644, after Muslim conquest of the Sassanid Empire, the Rashidun army entered Makran and defeated the army of Sahasi Rai II in the Battle of Rasil, and annexed Makran and eastern Balochistan. Caliph Umar disapproved of any incursion beyond the Indus River and ordered his commanders to consolidate their position west of the Indus.()(in citation given ) During the reign of Caliph Uthman ibn Affan (644–656), Muslims captured Qanzabil, a main military garrison of the Rai dynasty in northern Sindh. In 662, during the Umayyad Caliphate, it was retaken by the Rai kingdom, and it served as easternmost garrison town of the Rashidun army. Chach is reported to have developed a relationship with the then Queen Suhanadi, and upon the death of Sahasi Rai II he conspired with the queen and became ruler. The Rana Maharath, the King of Chittor, who was the brother Sahasi Rai, claimed the throne and attacked Chach. The Rana was killed by strategem, in the war in 640.()() Chach then enlisted his brother Chandra to help him administer the realm, and set off with an army to bring the rest of the realm under his control. He is reported to have fought battles at Babiah on the south bank of the River Beas, at Iskandah, and at Sikkah, where "Chach Rai took possession of the fort (of Sikkah), and killed 5,000 warlike men who were in it, and made the other residents of the town prisoners, and secured a large booty and a great number of slaves."() He appointed a Thakur at Multan and rode unopposed to settle the boundary with Kashmir. Later he expanded his rule, subduing neighbouring Buddhist regions across the Indus River, culminating in a battle at Brahmanabad. He stayed there for a year, cementing his control by various means such as marrying the widow of the king Agham; marrying his niece to Agham's son Sarhand; taking hostages; and prohibiting the Jat and Lohana tribes from carrying weapons. He placed upon the Jat and Lohana restrictions such as forbidding them riding horses with saddles, forbidding them from wearing silk or velvet, forbidding them from wearing headgear or footwear, and forcing them to wear black or red scarves. He then marched into Sassanid territory to the town of Armanbelah, and through Turan to Kandahar, from where he exacted tribute before returning. Several places along the Sindhu river are named after this king. For example, there are Chachpur, Chachar, Chachro, Chachgaon, and Chachi.() () Chandar Chach was succeeded by his brother, Chandra (671–679).() Chandar was a Buddhist ascetic.() He defended his realm from the Rana Sahiras of Kannauj. After a protracted siege of the capital at Aror, the Rana was captured during a conflict at a parley. Peace was concluded by means of hostages. Chandra ruled for 8 years. () Raja Dahir Main article: Raja Dahir Chach's eldest son Dahir then succeeded his uncle Chandar. His father is reported as being named Selaij. There are conflicting reports on when Chach married the Queen Suhanandi, who had no children from the Rai, and whether it was before or after the battle with the Rana Maharath. Chach had two sons (Dahir and Daharsiah) with the Queen Suhanandi and one daughter (Bai) from the widow of Argham. 390 Saunan—an ancient Jat tribe found in Gurgaon.It is said that --"The Saunon and Tevita Jats are two groups which were formed of the issue of Jadun Rajputs and women of lower castes".The Tevita appear to be the Tewatiya.
