History

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Rewari kingdom was established by an Ahir military chief, Rao Nandaram who received a jagir of 360 villages around Rewari, and the Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar (1713-19) conferred to him the title of Chaudhri, the ‘Status’ at that time strictly connected with military power.[8]

Affariya started migrating from Tijara in Alwar Rajasthan and later on came to Rewari in Haryana. Rao Tula Ram and his successors belonged to the Afaria gotra.[9] Henry M. Elliot accounts show that Ahirs of all the provinces trace their origin from Mathura or places little west to it. The Apharias are the distinct sub-division of Ahir caste.[10][11] In Mughal period, Apharia, Kaushaliya and Kosa were major aristocratic Ahir clans, who had direct contacts with the Mughal State Representatives.[12] Rao Nandram belonged to the Apharia a powerful Yaduvanshi clan of Ahirs of Rewari, who on the basis of their military power and cultivable land holdings proved to be dominant.[13]
