What is the true history of the Raigars of Rajasthan? The Raigar community in Rajasthan, India, has a rich history that is closely linked with the Rajputs, who are a major community in the region known for their valor and chivalry. The Raigars are considered to be a sub-caste of the Rajputs. They are believed to be descendants of the Rajput clans and have a history of military service and land ownership.
The Raigars have traditionally been involved in agriculture, landowning, and military service. They have a reputation for bravery and loyalty, traits that are highly valued in Rajasthani society. Many Raigar families have a history of serving in the armed forces of various princely states in Rajasthan.
It is important to note that the history of the Raigars, like many other communities in India, is complex and multifaceted. Different regions and subgroups within the community may have their own unique histories, traditions, and customs. As with any community, the history of the Raigars is shaped by a variety of factors including social, cultural, and political influences over time.
If you are interested in a specific aspect of the history of the Raigars or have a particular question in mind, please feel free to provide more details so I can offer more targeted information.

After a lots of research and studying theories, I have found all the facts related to True History of Raigars :-
Raigars are the descendants of ancient Malava Tribe, who had their own republic states in the South of Punjab and North of Rajputana during Mahabharata.
Malava Tribe was originated from Maharaja Rishi Ashwapati of Madra Kingdom, who was a descendant of Lord Rama and hence a Suryavanshi Kshatriya ruler of Madra Kingdom. He had a only daughter named Savitri who was married to Prince Satyavan of Shalva Kingdom. According to Tale of Satyavan Savitri, Savitri granted a boon from Yamaraja (God of Death) she and her father will be blessed with 100 sons. And regarding this, those hundred sons of King Ashwapati named as Malav after their mother's name Malavi. According to genealogy of Madra King, during Mahabharata King Shalya was ruler of Madra Kingdom who was also maternal uncle of Pandavas.
Afterwards, all those warrior princes Malavas settled themselves between the region of doab in Punjab and lived there as a union. They hadn't have any King but a chieftain who was granted a title of Raja/Naresh.
During Mahabharata war, this tribe fought from both the sides of Kauravas and Pandavas. Elephant Ashwatthama, who was killed by Bheemsen, was of Malava chieftain IndraVerma. Many of Malavas were martyred in this war.
Malavas had 100 clans which was originated from 100 Malav Princes, and after the Battle of Hydspes, Malavas along with Kshudrakas (descendants of Kosala king Kshudrak) formed an alliance to face Alexander the great, and with the help of Kathi Kshatriyas, they bravely faced Alexander by which he got injured but they were defeated so they left Punjab region and occupied the region of Eastern Rajputana, at Karkotaka (near Tonk) and then they occupied the region of Ujjain where that place was today also known as Malwa Plateau.
Emperor Vikramaditya, son of Malav King Gandharwasen and grandson of Nabovahana, established monarchial rule who was a member of Parmar/ Panwar clan of Malavas. And the only ruling dynasty from the Malavas was the Parmar dynasty who ruled till 1947.
Malavas along with Kshudrakas who formed a union , resulted in the uprising of 350+ clans of Malavas because union resulted Kshudrakas emerged in the Malava tribe.
Other clans else of Parmar dynasty, who were also Raghuvanshi Kshatriyas from the dynastical roots from Ayodhya and also were descendants of Shri Ram, were named as Raghu tribe which in time to time corrupted to Raghur -> Raigur -> Raigar, they all were known as Raigars today.
But what they had their ancestral occupation of warfare and crop production, they served as as peasants and warrior soldiers in different states of ancient Rajputana who also fought many wars and battles against Turks and Mughals.
During the 1st Shaka and Jauhar of Chittorgarh, when Rawal Ratan Singh was ruler of Mewar, Shri ShivShankar Mandawariya ji, who commanded army of Raigars martyred in that battle and his wife Jajorini (daughter of Udaji Jajoria) committed Sati.
During the battle between Muhammad Ghori and Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan, Shri Gunjal Sunwasiya served and fought from Rajputs side and martyred. His samadhi was placed near the Old Fort till after some times of Independence.
During the battle of Alaniawas, fought between Rajputs under Thakur Kushal Singh of Auwa and Britishers, Sugnoji and Hadmanoji were fought bravely and martyred.
Raigars who besides in the region of Bharatpur, Karauli, Dholpur joined the Jatava movement started by Swami Achhutanand Maharaj, took the title Jatava (also Chamaras) and hence they called as Jatavas or Chamaras.
Else of these Raigars, other Raigars moved with the Parmar chiefs (in Punjab under Baba Bachhittar Singh Panwar, Ranas of Umarkot in Sindh, & Rulers of Muli in Gujarat) to different parts of India.
Many of the Raigars were also granted and awarded with the titles of Raje in Punjab, Lamberdar/Nambardar in Delhi Haryana, Chaudhary in Rajasthan, which was also the titles of Rajputs. So why Raigars were known as Dalits?🤦♂️
But only because of Raigars of Eastern Rajputana (Bharatpur Karauli Dholpur region) whole of the Raigar tribe named under the scheduled caste list along with chamaras, bhambi, mochi and others too. Which is so much shameful for this ancient warrior tribe's respect as 6 states of northern India listed Raigars in their SC list.
Edit 1: Raigars are not leather tanners or dalits, they are Kshatriya warriors of Raghuvanshi dynasty.
Edit 2: Raigars need to re-establish their identity of Kshatriyas to glorify their history by lefting their SC reservation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.172.73.175 ( talk) 20:47, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
