According to their traditions, Magadh came from Ayodhya and settled in Jind, driving out the Chandel and Varya Rajputs, and overpowering the Jats. Magadh ruled a large regions. This region is known as Madadh 360 as there were 360 villages of Madadh Rajputs. They are one of the most ancient and brave clan of Suryavanshi Rajputs. Magadh then spread to Patiala, and were the effective rulers of the region between Jind and Patiala. The Suryavanshi Maghad(Magadh or Mugadh) then came to the attention of Firuz Shah Tughlaq, the Sultan of Delhi. Magadh fought very bravely but due to very less in numbers they lost war. In this war magadh lost their many villages. Today there are only about 60 villages of Magadh Rajputs out of 360 villages. They are an important element of the RANA community of Haryana. The Maghad(Magadh) claim to be Suryavanshi Rajputs, and claim descent from Lav, son of the Ram, and claim a common origin with the Raghav or Bargujar and Gahlot Rajput. Magadh were settled mainly in the valley of Yamuna, mainly in and around Yamuna Nagar and Kaithal.[2]
