Encyclopedia : T : TO : TOM : Tomara

The Tomar, Tanwar,were a clan who populated northern India. The clan Tomar is found among the Jats and Rajputs. 95 % of all of them are Jats. A small percentage in Rajastan identify themsleves as Rajputs. They are found spread from Punjab, to Haryana, to Western Uttar Pradesh, to Eastern Rajastan to Northern Madhya Pradesh.

In the 8th century, the Jat Tomars established a state in present day Haryana, founding the city of Dhiliki (later Delhi) in 736.

Some Tomars left the Delhi area and settled in Panipat region in modern Haryana and also in modern Uttar Pradesh.

The Tomars were replaced by Chauhans in 1162 as the rulers of Delhi. The Chauhans were defeated by the Muhammad Ghori and the Sultans of Delhi at the end of the 12th century. There is some discrepancy here as a Tomar is described to be in power in Delhi in 1192 CE.

Following their defeat at Delhi, a branch of the Tomar clan established themselves in the area of modern Gwalior in northern Madhya Pradesh. A leader Man Singh built the fortress citadel which still stands there. Some of this branch took on a rajput identity.

The Mughal emperor Akbar captured Gwalior in 1559.

Some of the descendants of the Tomars moved to Rajasthan and established the Patan state near Jaipur.Some Tomars, known as Tonwar Thakurs, live in Morena District northwest of Gwalior; The district was formerly known as Tonwarghar.

Tomars are considered to be the descendants of the great Pandava warrior Arjuna mentioned the Mahabharata. The Pandavas ruled what is now Delhi and the Old fort in New Delhi.

Anangpal Tomar II is said to have been overthrown by his grandson Prithviraj Chauhan, Some records say that the kingdom was handed over to Prithviraj Chauhan, as Anangpal had left no heir. Some records suggest that the Tomars were defeated by Vigrahraj Chauhan.
