Brief History About the book (Twarikh Rajgan-E-Pathania-E-Nurpur, Zila Kangra (History of Pathania Rajas of Nurpur) by Mian Rughnath Singh Pathania The English version of the book was first published in 2004 by the Department of Language and Culture, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla 171 009 Himachal Pradesh, India. Written in 1904 A.D., the book documents seven hundred year''s history of the Pathania Royal house of Nurpur from the year 1138 A.D. to 1885 A.D. The author Mian Rughnath Singh Pathania of Rey, a small village in the vicinity of Indora in District Kangra of Himachal Pradesh, traces the origin of the Pathania Rajputs to the last of the HinduEmperors of Hindustan, King Anangpal II of the Tomara (Tanwar, Tuar) dynasty of Delhi. Late Pandit Jwala Prasad had been maintaining the family trees of the Pathania Clan. He lived in Haridwar. Currently his grandson, pandit Ganesh Sharma takes care of such requirements. Kangra Temple, which contains records for the last 10 generations is under a legal dispute and lies in sealed condition. Until 1164 a Tomara, Tuar Dynasty reigned in Delhi, the most powerful of all the Rajput principalities. Anangpal II, is now generally admitted, by many historians, to have been a lineal descendant of the great Pandavas, who founded Indraprastha, the ancient Delhi, in B.C. 1030. He therefore, presents the extraordinary phenomenon of a King occupying a throne established by another ancestor, the Heroic Yudhishthira, one of the five Pandavas, 2250 years before. King Anangpal, having no male issue, abdicated in favour of Prithviraj Chauhan, the son of Someshwar Chauhan, the King of Ajmer, to whom, in return for service rendered, he had given one of his daughters in marriage.
He was Prithviraj Chauhan''s maternal Grandfather. Rana Jethpal (1183-1208 A.D.), the younger brother of King Anangpal II of Delhi, came to Jallandhar Daob to carve out a territory for himself. Since he defeated Kuzbak Khan, the Afghan governor of Pathankot and became master of the fort and the town, he came to be known as a Pathania Rajput instead of a Tanwar Rajput. The author has traced the origin of the Pathania dynasty of Nurpur to Lord Arjuna, the Hero of Mahabharata with the help of a calendar from King Yudhishthira to King Anang Pal II of Delhi. The book was originally written in mixed persianized Urdu and devnagari, and the English version was prepared by Mr. AN Walia. The Kingdom lasted for about eight centuries with its capital at Nurpur, now in Kangra district, all through their glorious history the Pathania clan rebelled against the foreign invaders, both Muslims and the British. Although sometimes the Pathania Kings held the high office''s of Generals known as Mansabdar ( Army Commander, reserved for Hindu and Muslim Princes of note) in the Mughal military and captured many a kingdom for the Mughal Emperor, yet time and again they rebelled against far more outnumbering forces of the Mughal''s and other foreign invaders.
