KATIYAR

is a Brij or Awadhi language word used as a surname. It originates from the word Katara (sword). Belong to kurmi-kshatriya category . The Indian nobility often wore ornamental katara as a symbol of their royal social status.

The Kurmi (कुर्मी) are the direct descendants of the famous Suryavanshi Kshatriya dynasties of Lord Rama and one of the sects of Hindus in India. Katiyars are Suryavanshi Kshatriya. The word Kurmi has origin from Kurmanchal or Kumaon. Kurmi Kings ruled Kurmanchal (kumaon) and built many temples there. Kurmis are the descendants of the Gaharwar rulers of Kannauj Jai Chandra or Jai Chand was the last ruler of Kannauj. After invasion of Kannauj in 12th century by muslim Muslim invaders descendants of Jai Chand moved to Kurmanchal (Kumaon) and established their kingdom. Since then these Suryavanshi Kshatriya are known as Kurmi. They prefer to call themselves kurmi, may be to hide the loss of Kingdom of Kannauj.

Katiyars are dominant in Districts of Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Pilibhit, lucknow and Kanpur. Kshatriyas turned to farming or agriculture are known as Kurmis (or Kunbis or Kanbis.) As per ancient Hindu texts, agriculture is permissible to Kshatriyas under special circumstances. In the absence of opportunities in the military and feudal apparatus of a righteous Aryan King. Indeed, the service in the army of an unrighteous king was a great anathema for a concentious and observant Vedic Kshatriya in Ancient India. A Vedic Kshatriya was not a mercenary soldier, but rather a defender of the faith and righteous order (dharma). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrawan katiyar (talk • contribs) 19:26, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
