Pawar[1][2][3][4] is a clan (sub-caste) found among the Hindu-Muslim ethnic People of southern Asia. They are based in Rajasthan and other north Indian states.[5][6]
Pawar Gujjars trace their ancestry back to the Chandravanshi, kshatriya lineage (Lunar Dynasty descendants).[1] They also claimed to be direct descendants of Raja Vikramaditya,[1] who ruled in Ujjain (modern-day Madhya Pradesh) until 57 BCE.[2]
They are mainly found in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,[1] Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kashmir[2] and Dehli.
Likewise the Pawar clan among the Gujars believe that they are Chandravanshi (or descendants of the lunar dynasty), and in more recent times they can trace their ancestry up to Vikramaditya of Ujjain.
Pawar , is a branch of Gujjar community whose ancestory is traded to Raja Bikramajit of Ujjain , and to whom the Bikrami calender which persists even today is assigned .
