From Wikipedia, I read âThe 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.â http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomara
However, a Tomar (and a large number of followers) is recorded in Madagascar history as âimmigratingâ around 1300 CE. The native language in Madagascar is an Austro-Polynesian language closely related to Javanese language (Java) and Manjaan (Kalimantan), suggesting that Tomar and his large followers may have come from Indonesia also.
Does anyone know of a large movement of Tomar around 1200-1300 CE towards Indonesia or Madagascar?
