History
Indo-Saka or Indo-Scythians are commonly thought to have been a branch of Sakas (Scythians), who migrated from southern Siberia into Bactria, Sogdiana, Arachosia, Gandhara, Kashmir, Punjab, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, from the middle of the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE.
Sogarwars are descendants of the Yaduvansh or Chandravansh.
These Sogdians were called Sogdia and later Sogaria after the village of Sogar. A famous Sogarwar warrior named Sugriv founded the present Sogar town. He constructed a fort there known as Sugrivgarh. Later these people expanded to nearby areas, including Jaghina, Tuhiya, Tontpur and Tyonga.
Khemkaran sogariya was one king of this clan. Legend claims that he was killed fighting three tigers with two katars in his hand. The event is depicted by a statue at Jaghina Mod.
Faujdar was a title awarded by the then Muslim rulers to people who had the responsibility to protecting part of the territory. Jat gotra also used this title.
