Jasrotia

Jasrotia is a rajput clan, sub-clan of Sangotre or Jamwals of Jammu province of Jammu & Kashmir in India.

The term Jasrotia is evolved from Jasrota, which was a rajput state founded in 1019 A.D. by King Jasdev of Jammu. During Aurangzeb's reign, they migrated from Rajasthan to northern India. Jasrotias claimed to be of solar origin, and belonged to the Mian class which was considered superior to other five rajput classes of the region. The kingdom became extinct in 1834 and now a larger part of it has been converted into a wild-life sanctuary. The members of Jasrotia clan meet annually at their ancestor place to pay homage to their ancestors.
