Abstract

James Tod's monumental work, Annals and Antiquities of

Rajasthan, deals with those Rajput Tribes of Rajasthan who once

ruled over different parts of the region and rest of the Rajput tribes

were beyound the scope of his study. Tod works on history of

Bahawalpur or Cholistan provides no informations about Bohar

Rajput tribe of Cholistan. Likewise Sir Denzil Ibbetson, A Glossary of

the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and N.W.F.P and M.A Sherring,

Hindu Tribes and Castes, both have no mention of Bohar Tribe. Out

of 35 branches Panwar Rajput tribe, Bohar is one of them. They are

forerunner of the present Cholistani tribes who embraced Islam in

1252. Because of lack of written material interview, questionnaire,

group discussion and observation were the main tools to collect the

data. The folklorists of Bohar tribe provide pedigree and valuable

information. Thus the present article heavily depends upon oral

history. This article is an attempt to highlight the history and culture

of Bohar tribe of Cholistan.
