Brar
The Brars: valiant, brave warriors, the Brar's descended from the Sidhu's who had earlier descended from the Bhatti Rajputs.
Rao Brar, 10th in descent from Rao Sidhu, was a famous and powerful chief. He was a known marauder and warrior. Brar had six sons, namely Dull, Paur, Sawal, Peeplu, Dodhru, and Sairu. Dull was the ancestor of the Brar Clan and for his descendants the patronymic changed from Sidhu to Brar. Paur’s descendants kept the name Sidhu.
He regained Bathinda after defeating the Bhattis. He also rebelled against the Delhi government. He made Bidowali in Sri Muktsar Sahib district as his stronghold. He died around 1415 BCE in Bidowali. Brars family was then known as a strong warlike family that were overwhelmingly loyal, brave, fearless and courageous. During Timur's raid on Northern India in 1398, the Brars robbed Timur in the area of Tohana in today's Haryana. After marauding, the Brars used to take shelter in the jungles of the area. The enraged Timur started deforestation on a large scale. Timur killed a large number of Brars and avenged his losses. Also, the Brars were once involved in a feud with the Manns, Bhullars, Hayers, Bhattis family, who did not like the Brars on their territory. A major battle was fought between the Brar's and Manns, Bhullars, Hayers and Bhattis at Mehraj, with Dull leading the Brars to victory. The feud ended that day.
Paur had one son named Bersi (Barath). Nabha State, Patiala State, Phoolke, Mehrajke and Ghurajke are from the lineage of Paur.
The Harike Sidhu's also claim to be Brars although they are not.
Dull succeeded Brar as Chief. Dull had four sons, namely, Binaipal, Shainpal, Lakhanpal and Rattanpal. The eldest Binaipal succeeded as tribal Chief. He represents the main line of the Brar clan.
