Jats and Gujars are the two prominent warrior races of India. They have brought great glory to the country by virtue of their indomitable will and valor. This book is an honest and a sincere attempt to trace their origin which remains a great mystery due to the host of contradicting theories. Jats and Gujars have connections with some very important races of the world and some equally important dynasties like the Sakas (Scythians), the Sarmatians, the Yeuh-chis or Kushanas, the Huns , the Pratiharas, the Gypsies of Europe, the Pathans, the Messagetaes, the Khazars, the Yazygs and the likes making this a fascinating study to an ordinary reader as well as the students of history. The possible connection of these two communities with Lord krishna and his cult 'Yadu' has also been examined. The study also talks about the origin of both these communities from near Anatolia (Turkey) and their intrusion into India. The book also studies in great detail , the famous empires, dynasties, kings, races and prominent personalities pertaining to the Jat and Gujar communities. It is hoped that this book shall go a long way in enriching the knowledge of the readers from different points of view so that they are enabled to draw their own conclusions on conflicting issues.

He belongs to a noble and a renowned Gujar family, where spirit of sacrifice for the society and the country is inherent. As a young boy, Rahul used t listen to the stories pertaining to his ancestors from his learned grand father who inspired him to do something for his community in particular. This encouraged him to cull all the information he could about his community and the Jat Community from all possible sources. All that information has found its rightful place in this book. While doing his Diploma in Civil Engineering , he was elected the Joint Secretary of the Student Union in 1999 and devoted all his heart and soul to develop cordial relations between the two communities of Jats and Gujars Having completed his Diploma in 2012, he did his graduation from Delhi University.
