	~~Revision as of 19:34, 22 October 2023~~
	Hun[1][2][3] or Huna[4][5] is a major ancient Kshatriya[1] clan of the Gurjar community of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. Historically, they were also known by the name of Huna.[4] Hun Gujjars are primarily Hindu, while some are Muslim in Muslim-majority areas especially in Kashmir and Pakistan. In mountainous areas, they speak the Gujari language, as well as other indigenous dialects. They are also mentioned in the Sanskrit epic of Mahabharat as the Hara Huna people.[6] In past these Hun Gurjars ruled in various dynasties.[7] Huns are also featured in the 36 Indian royal Kshatriya clan lists.[8][6]

	~~Origin~~
	According to A.H Bingley Yuchi (Yuechi), a Scythian tribe whose modern representatives are the Gujars, had settled in Kabul, Kashmir, and Northern Punjab, where their settlements may be seen in the names of localities and districts such as Gujranwala and Gujrat. Before the end of the third century, a segment of the Yuchi people began to migrate southern.[9]

	While the Jatii and Getz were moving into India from the Kandahar valley, another Scythian tribe called the Yuchi, whose modern representa- tribes are the Gujars, had established themselves in Kabul, Kashmir, and the Northern Punjab, where their settlements may be traced in the names of places and districts such an Gujranwala and Gujarat. Before the end of the 3rd cen- tury a portion of the Yuchi had begun to move southward and were shortly afterwards separated from their northern brethren by the advance of the Geta or Jats from the Bolan. The Gujars moving down the Indus Valley eventually settled in Saurashtra, now called Gujrat, subduing its original inhabitants the Ahirs with whom they probably intermarried.[9]

	Some Huns and Kushans were ethnically connected, and Kushans were known as the Great Yuechi, while Huns were known as the Little Yuechi. The Yuechi or Kushans arrived in India around 130 B.C., the Huns (Kedaras) or little Yuechi arrived around 380_390 A.D.,[10] and the Khazars or Gujars arrived between 450 and 500 A.D. via the Swat and Sistan valleys.[11]

	According to Kulbhushan warikoo Some Huns claim to be descended from the Yuechi or Kushans. The Kushan and Hun were unquestionably Kshatriyas Gujjars. Both of these clans are only found among the Gurjars of Central and South Asia. Cunningham and other historians have also referred to them as Gurjars as well.[12]

	~~History~~
	~~Pre-history~~
	Huns are mentioned in a number of ancient Indian religious or historic Sanskrit or Vedic texts as Hara Huna (Hada Huna), Huna, or Huns, including the Puranas and Mahabharata, and even in historic records of the Guptas of Patna and Palas of Bengal.[6]

	During the regime of the Gurjar pratihar dynasty and its emperor, the Mihir Bhoj Gurjar Huns Gujjars were ruling in the Mianwali district of the Punjab province, which is located in present-day Pakistani Punjab. [6]

	They fought the Patliputra Guptas and the Qanauj Wardhans. They ascended to power in the sixth century A.D. from Upper Panjab, led by Torman and his son Mihir Kul, and conquered Kashmir. Emperor Mihir Kul died in 540 A.D.[13]

	After his death came Matri Gita (540 to 583 A.D.), Hirani (583 to 606), Torman 11 (606 to 643), Suresh Sen (643 to 667), Ksheti Nand (667 to 687 A.D.), Vasu Deva (687 to 711 A.D.), Yudhistra (711 to 729 A.D.), Raja Iksa (729 to 750 A.D.), Gopi Ditta (750 to 767 A.D.), Gai Karan (767 to 809 A.D.), Narendra Ditta (809 to 845 A.D.), Torman II (845 to 847 A.D.), and Lakhan (847 to 860 A.D.). The last five were local chiefs who were subjected to Thakyas (Taanks) of Taank kingdom. The Huns mentioned above were Yadava Kshatriyas Gurjars. The Sialkot city of present-day Pakistani Punjab was their capital. And their marriage relationships with the other Gurjjars families demonstrate that they belonged to the Gurjar Kshatriya group. They are known as Gurjars, and Hun is their gotra (clan) even now.[13]

	Syed Raju Qatal issued a fatwa, saying you have become a Muslim because you recognised Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the final prophet. You are a "murderer of Islam's punishment, which is death" if you live now as Hindu.[14]

	Nawa Rai Hun fled to Feroze Shah Tughlaq, King of Delhi, to save his life. Syed pursued him. As soon as Nawa Rai Hun entered the Darbar (King's Court), the Syed hit him with a sword from behind and killed him. The settlement of Nawal was built by Nawa Rai Hun's son after his father's name. Today, the village of Nawal (Nawalka) exists near Meerut, where descendants of Nawa Rai Hun dwell as a sub-caste of the Gurjars.[14][3]

	~~Descendants of Hun-Gurjars~~
	~~Chalukyas~~
	According to Brown C.J., Pulakesin I formed the first notable Chalukya dynasty of southern India in the middle of the sixth century. These Chalukyas were descended from a foreign tribe, most likely of Huna-Gurjara origin.[4] Badami, in the Bijapur district, was their capital.[15][16]

	Other historians, however, dispute on the origins of the Badami Chalukyas. And they think the Chalukyas of Badami or Chalukyas began in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, went south, and formed the Chalukyas dynasty in south India.

	~~Distribution~~
	They live in Pakistani regions including Kashmir, and Punjab[6] and Gilgit-Baltistan they have their population mostly in these areas. Some Hun Gujjars have villages in Afghanistan in the region of Pamir and Nuristan.

	While in India they primarily inhabit in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and, Jammu and Kashmir. There are many village of Hun Gujjars in Uttar Pradesh، Rajasthan and Haryana. Alone in Uttar Pradesh their prominent villages are in the Meerut, Gaziabad,[4] Bulandhshahr, and Greater Noida districts. And most famous village due to their influence is known as 'Nawalka.[3]

	~~Etomology~~
	Hun is a Sanskrit word that refers to "someone who does not listen to the opinions or advice of others and instead acts on his own desires".[7] The phrase Hun Mat, which means "the wisdom of an unruly person," is still in use.[7]

	~~Other names~~
	~~In various regions they also known by different names, including Huna, Hunas,[4] Hara Huna, Hada Huna, Hun or Hoon.[3]~~

Hun[1][2][3] or Huna[4][5] is a major ancient Kshatriya[1] clan of the Gurjar community of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. Historically, they were also known by the name of Huna.[4] Hun Gujjars are primarily Hindu, while some are Muslim in Muslim-majority areas especially in Kashmir and Pakistan. In mountainous areas, they speak the Gujari language, as well as other indigenous dialects. They are also mentioned in the Sanskrit epic of Mahabharat as the Hara Huna people.[6] In past these Hun Gurjars ruled in various dynasties.[7] Huns are also featured in the 36 Indian royal Kshatriya clan lists.[8][6]

Origin
According to A.H Bingley Yuchi (Yuechi), a Scythian tribe whose modern representatives are the Gujars, had settled in Kabul, Kashmir, and Northern Punjab, where their settlements may be seen in the names of localities and districts such as Gujranwala and Gujrat. Before the end of the third century, a segment of the Yuchi people began to migrate southern.[9]

While the Jatii and Getz were moving into India from the Kandahar valley, another Scythian tribe called the Yuchi, whose modern representa- tribes are the Gujars, had established themselves in Kabul, Kashmir, and the Northern Punjab, where their settlements may be traced in the names of places and districts such an Gujranwala and Gujarat. Before the end of the 3rd cen- tury a portion of the Yuchi had begun to move southward and were shortly afterwards separated from their northern brethren by the advance of the Geta or Jats from the Bolan. The Gujars moving down the Indus Valley eventually settled in Saurashtra, now called Gujrat, subduing its original inhabitants the Ahirs with whom they probably intermarried.[9]

Some Huns and Kushans were ethnically connected, and Kushans were known as the Great Yuechi, while Huns were known as the Little Yuechi. The Yuechi or Kushans arrived in India around 130 B.C., the Huns (Kedaras) or little Yuechi arrived around 380_390 A.D.,[10] and the Khazars or Gujars arrived between 450 and 500 A.D. via the Swat and Sistan valleys.[11]

According to Kulbhushan warikoo Some Huns claim to be descended from the Yuechi or Kushans. The Kushan and Hun were unquestionably Kshatriyas Gujjars. Both of these clans are only found among the Gurjars of Central and South Asia. Cunningham and other historians have also referred to them as Gurjars as well.[12]

History
Pre-history
Huns are mentioned in a number of ancient Indian religious or historic Sanskrit or Vedic texts as Hara Huna (Hada Huna), Huna, or Huns, including the Puranas and Mahabharata, and even in historic records of the Guptas of Patna and Palas of Bengal.[6]

During the regime of the Gurjar pratihar dynasty and its emperor, the Mihir Bhoj Gurjar Huns Gujjars were ruling in the Mianwali district of the Punjab province, which is located in present-day Pakistani Punjab. [6]

They fought the Patliputra Guptas and the Qanauj Wardhans. They ascended to power in the sixth century A.D. from Upper Panjab, led by Torman and his son Mihir Kul, and conquered Kashmir. Emperor Mihir Kul died in 540 A.D.[13]

After his death came Matri Gita (540 to 583 A.D.), Hirani (583 to 606), Torman 11 (606 to 643), Suresh Sen (643 to 667), Ksheti Nand (667 to 687 A.D.), Vasu Deva (687 to 711 A.D.), Yudhistra (711 to 729 A.D.), Raja Iksa (729 to 750 A.D.), Gopi Ditta (750 to 767 A.D.), Gai Karan (767 to 809 A.D.), Narendra Ditta (809 to 845 A.D.), Torman II (845 to 847 A.D.), and Lakhan (847 to 860 A.D.). The last five were local chiefs who were subjected to Thakyas (Taanks) of Taank kingdom. The Huns mentioned above were Yadava Kshatriyas Gurjars. The Sialkot city of present-day Pakistani Punjab was their capital. And their marriage relationships with the other Gurjjars families demonstrate that they belonged to the Gurjar Kshatriya group. They are known as Gurjars, and Hun is their gotra (clan) even now.[13]

Syed Raju Qatal issued a fatwa, saying you have become a Muslim because you recognised Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the final prophet. You are a "murderer of Islam's punishment, which is death" if you live now as Hindu.[14]

Nawa Rai Hun fled to Feroze Shah Tughlaq, King of Delhi, to save his life. Syed pursued him. As soon as Nawa Rai Hun entered the Darbar (King's Court), the Syed hit him with a sword from behind and killed him. The settlement of Nawal was built by Nawa Rai Hun's son after his father's name. Today, the village of Nawal (Nawalka) exists near Meerut, where descendants of Nawa Rai Hun dwell as a sub-caste of the Gurjars.[14][3]

Descendants of Hun-Gurjars
Chalukyas
According to Brown C.J., Pulakesin I formed the first notable Chalukya dynasty of southern India in the middle of the sixth century. These Chalukyas were descended from a foreign tribe, most likely of Huna-Gurjara origin.[4] Badami, in the Bijapur district, was their capital.[15][16]

Other historians, however, dispute on the origins of the Badami Chalukyas. And they think the Chalukyas of Badami or Chalukyas began in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, went south, and formed the Chalukyas dynasty in south India.

Distribution
They live in Pakistani regions including Kashmir, and Punjab[6] and Gilgit-Baltistan they have their population mostly in these areas. Some Hun Gujjars have villages in Afghanistan in the region of Pamir and Nuristan.

While in India they primarily inhabit in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and, Jammu and Kashmir. There are many village of Hun Gujjars in Uttar Pradesh، Rajasthan and Haryana. Alone in Uttar Pradesh their prominent villages are in the Meerut, Gaziabad,[4] Bulandhshahr, and Greater Noida districts. And most famous village due to their influence is known as 'Nawalka.[3]

Etomology
Hun is a Sanskrit word that refers to "someone who does not listen to the opinions or advice of others and instead acts on his own desires".[7] The phrase Hun Mat, which means "the wisdom of an unruly person," is still in use.[7]

Other names
In various regions they also known by different names, including Huna, Hunas,[4] Hara Huna, Hada Huna, Hun or Hoon.[3]
