The Handa family Handa (Punjabi: ਹਾਂਡਾ, ; Hindi: हाँडा) is a prominent Khatri, Kshatriya clan originating from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. They originated in Batala of Punjab in India. Handas are all Punjabi's and are Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims. Many Handa trace their origin to the Pakistani districts of Punjab: Lahore, Gujranwala and Gujrat. Lakhanwal Khas and Jalalpur Jattan are two towns within the Gujrat district that spawned many Handa's. After Pakistani independence many Handa left their native homes in Pakistan and relocated to various parts of Northern India. Many Handa can be found in regions like Punjab, Delhi, Uttarpradesh, Haryana, Kashmir and Rajasthan. Some Handa families may also be found in mid- and southern parts of India; especially those families that are a part of the Indian armed forces. ==History== The majority of Handa are Hindus and Sikhs. They are descendants of the Suryavansha or Solar Dynasty (Sūrya-vaṃśa). This dynasty is one of the oldest and largest Kshatriya dynasties of India. The Solar Dynasty is also known as Ādityavanśa (आदित्यवंश), Mitravanśa (मित्रवंश) and Arkavanśa (अर्कवंश). Some linked the Handa clan with the Kambojas and identified them as one of its direct descendants. The Kambojas were an ancient and prominent Kshatriya tribe of northwest India, attested in the Samaveda, Atharvaveda, Yajurveda, Mahabharata, Valmiki Ramayana, numerous Puranas, Manusmriti and a host other ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts. Ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts such as Ashtadhyayi of Pāṇini,〔Ashtadhyayi IV.1.168-175.〕 Manusmriti,〔Manusmriti, X.43-44〕 Mahabharata,〔Mahabharata 02.5.18-19; Mahabharata 13.33.20-21. Cf also: Mahabharata 13.35.17-18.〕 Kautiliya's Arthashastra,〔Arthashastra 11.1.1-4.〕 Harivamsa,〔Harivamsa, 14.17...〕 Vayu Purana,〔Vayu Purana: v 88.127-43.〕 Brahmanda Purana〔Brahmanda Purana, 3.41.36; Ancient Kamboja, People and the Country, 1981, p 19, Dr J. L. Kamboj; Kambojas Through the Ages, 2005, p 15, S. Kirpal Singh. 〕 and several other authorities that the ancestors of the modern Kambojas, in ancient times, were prominent Kshatriyas〔Indological studies, 1962, p 15, History; Some Kṣatriya tribes of ancient India, 1924, p 241, Dr B. C. Law - Kshatriyas. 〕 and were established in the Kshatriya-Dharama as a warriors and a rulers.〔Foreign Elements in Ancient Indian Society, 2nd Century BC to 7th Century AD, 1978, p 125, Uma Prasad Thapliyal - India Civilization. 〕〔See also: Sabha Parava, Udyoga Parva, Bhishma Parva, Drona Parva, Karna Parva, Shalya Parva sections of the Mahabharata.〕 They have been stylized as Rajaniyas as well as Kshatriyas in these ancient texts. The Handas, alongside other Kshatriya warrior clans, played a crucial part in shaping India's Aryan history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Handa family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
