Beniwal is one of the most populated gotra under Jat clan. [2] [3] They earned the title of "warriors" due to their prolonged conflict with the Rathores in Rajasthan during the 16th century. [4]

Origin

Beniwal Gotra is derived from Bani (Jungle). These people are Nagavanshi Jats. They are supposed to be descendants of Vena, the progenitor of Prithu (incarnation of God Vishnu), known as the first ruler of the world who was consecrated. [5]

History

Originally from Central Asia, they moved to the northern salt range Punjab region of India. When Alexander the Great invaded Punjab in 326 B.C., they fought alongside him. Later, Beniwal moved to the Jangladesh region of north Rajasthan, which is known as Rajasthan, together with Sihag, Punia, Godara, Saran, and Johiya, and ruled there until the 15th century. Raisal Beniwal established Raslana as the Beniwal's capital in Jangladesh. [6] [7]

Although India is a parliamentary democracy, the country's politics has become dynastic or with high level of nepotism, possibly due to the absence of party organizations, independent civil-society associations which mobilize support for a party, or centralized financing of elections. The dynastic phenomenon is present at the national, state, regional, and district level. The Nehru–Gandhi family has produced three Indian prime ministers, and family members have largely led the Congress party since 1978. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also has several dynastic leaders. In addition to the major national parties, other national and regional parties such as Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), Shiromani Akali Dal, Shiv Sena, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal Secular, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Kerala Congress, Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, Indian Union Muslim League, AIMIM, and the Nationalist Congress Party are all dominated by families, mostly those of the party founders.
