Prince Deoraj, a famous prince of the Bhatti family, is considered the founder of the Jaisalmer dynasty. He was the first to hold the title of Rawal. In 1156 AD, Rawal Jaisal, the sixth in succession from Deoraj, founded the fort and city of Jaisalmer, and moved his capital there from Lodhruva, situated about 15 km to the south-east of Jaisalmer. In 1293, the Bhattis enraged the emperor Ala-ud-din Khilji. His army captured and sacked the fort and city of Jaisalmer, after which it was deserted. Some Bhattis migrated to Talwandi, now known as Nankana Sahib. Nankana Sahib and others settled in Larkana (in Sindh, Pakistan) under the name of Bhutto. Nothing is known of them from this time until that of Rawal Sahal Singh, who capitulated to and acknowledged the supremacy of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1592–1666). The Jaisalmer princes reached the height of their power, but from this time until the accession of Rawal Mulraj in 1762, the fortunes of the state rapidly declined, and most of its outlying provinces were lost. In 1818 Mulraj entered into political relations with the British. Maharawal Salivahan, born in 1887, succeeded to the chieftain-ship in 1891. The Maharajas of Jaisalmer trace their lineage back to Krishna through Jaitsimha, a ruler of the Bhatti Gurjar clan. Their major opponents were the powerful Rathore clans of Jodhpur and Bikaner. They fought battles for the possession of forts, water holes, and cattle. Jaisalmer was positioned strategically and was a halting point along a traditional trade route traversed by the camel caravans of Indian and Asian merchants. The route linked India to Central Asia, Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Africa, and the West. Geographical distribution[edit] India[edit] In India, Bhattis reside mainly in the states of Rajasthan and Punjab (India). In Rajasthan, they are found in the Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Barmer, and some tehsils of Gurdaspur, Shergarh, Udaipur (Mohi) and Nagau (Ladnun). In Gujarat, Bhattis have a few jagirs in Sabarkantha district, such as Ranasan, Munai, Torda, Bhutiya, Vejapur and chandarni of Himmatnagar. Bhati Gurjar in Gujarat migrated from Osiya in Rajasthan in the 12th century. The Patiala and East Punjab States Union has a large concentration of Bhattis. Bajar live in the villages of Sahlon, Ghurial, Phuglana, Salah, Daroli, Machhli Kalan, Lalru, Jhawansa, Tardak, Joli, Samgoli Nagla, Jhhanjeri, Cholta, Badali, Rangian, Magra, and Khellan-mallan. They migrated from Jaisalmer in the 12th century. In Uttar Pradesh, Bhattis reside in Kakrala in Budaun district, Yahiyapur in Pratapgarh district, Bhargain in Etah District, and Thiriya in Bareilly district. There are about 56 villages of Bhatti in the district of Bulandshahar, Ghaziabad and Meerut, and villages in Noida and Faridabad have predominantly Bhatti Gurjars. In Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, people of the Bhatraju caste are considered to have come from the Kshatriya blood line of Pandavas. Chandravansh Kshatriyas Vikramaditya and Bhatti denote some of the known ancestral origins of this community, and that is where the Bhat part of the name comes from. The Bhatias residing in the village of Killianwali, tehsil Malout, Muktsar district, have adopted the Sikh religion.

In Kashmir they are found in Dhal Qazian, Surhol, Koterha Mast Khan, Rangla, and Dheerkot in Bagh District. They also found in Poonch, Mirpur, and other places. Bajar and Bhatti clans in Sindh[edit] The Muslim population of the Sindhi Bhattis is found predominantly in Sindh province. In Sindh the major the clans of Bhattis are the Dadani, Mahar, Mangrio, Bhutto, Kamario, Rajpar, Bhamban and Indhar. All Bhattis are related to Samma clans, as they are Yadubansi too. This includes the Abro, whose sub-clans Mungrani, Kehar, Odho, Sarki, Bhootani, Pechoho, Unar, Khuhro, Bhayo, Junejo, and Phulpoto. Bajjar/Bhatti clans in NWFP[edit] The Muslim population of the Patan Bajar is found predominantly in North-West Frontier Province. In Frontier, the major the clans of Bajar are the Bijairae, Air/Aile, Gangar, Chohankhil, Katan Khil, Rajpar, Bhamban and Indhar. Sub-clans in Punjab[edit] There are about forty sub-branches of the Bajar. Many Gujjar tribes trace their origin to the Bhatis. Some of these tribes include Mair Rajputs of Punjab, Rajput Jenjer/Janjar, Rajput Mers of Kathiawar, Rajputs of the Bajju clan, Jats of the Sidhu dynasty (currently ruling Patiala), Khaira, Brar, Ghuman, Sahasi, Sansis, and Mane clans. Manj Rajputs are also Bhattis. Alpial, Indhar, Kalyar, Kanjun, Uttera, Noon, Dhandla, Wattu, Bhabha, Diyal, Mittru, and Hattar are related clans. In West Punjab, the Narma/Narwa Rajputs are related. Bajar[edit] The Bajars of Northwestern India and Pakistan are descendants of Bajjar/Bhati Rajputs. The present-day Thattai, Shikarpuri, and Gujarati Bhatias are said to be descendants of the Gurjar Raja Jaswal and Rani Padminis reign. They are presently classified with Khatris and form a subclass within them in Punjab. Bhatias of Punjab are essentially tradesmen, although their origin is from Bhati Rajputs.
