History
Dr Girish Chandra Dwivedi [1] has mentioned in his book The Jats – Their Role in the Mughal Empire about historical records maintained by Khaps. A Sarva Khap Panchayat was held here in samvat 1560. Due to its proximity to Delhi, it was repeatedly attacked by Mughal armies. Since Desh-khap was the biggest jat clan in western UP therefore they were clearly in the eyes of Mughals. Besides themselves, they also protected minor jat gotras. After the defeat of Dhakas by the Muslim rulers of Afghanistan they came to Baghpat. It was then the ruler of Desh Khap who let the hide in their territory and Dhakas till today reside in Baghpat in the Dhikauli village. If there were no tomars then there wold be no dhakas now. History tells us that many jat gotras including Sherawat and Panwar, Tanwar, Toor, Shira, and Bhind originated from Tomars. Descendants of Poras went to Baghpat there they married the daughter of the king of Desh Khap which led to the origin of Panwars. Tomars helped Panwar settle in Gaziabad.

Currently there are 3-4 villages of panwars in Gaziabad. They also settled in other little jats such as Vishela, Darayan, and Dagar in Hapur and Gaziabad. When the British came to Delhi they recognised the power of the Tomars. To counter them they sent Muslims to the jat villages, leading to fights and riots.
