Johiya

Johiya (also known as Joia, Joiya, Joyia, Joya, Joyo, Joyea, Joeia and Joeya, Joriya claims to be a Chandravanshi Rajputs

Origin

The Johiya may be modern-day descendants of the ancient Yaudheya warrior tribe that ruled in some areas of northern India until the period of the Gupta empire. This theory - which was proposed by Alexander Cunningham - is not certain and it has also been mooted that they may be connected to another ancient tribe, being the Audumbaras.[1][2]

During 18th and 19th century, the Johiya Ranghar Rajput chieftains - who were vassals of Bikaner State, had ongoing tussle for the control of northeast Rajasthan (Hanumangarh) and northwest Haryana (Sirsa, Fatehabad, Rania and Hisar) with Bhatti Ranghar Rajputs and Jat Sikh rulers of Patiala and Jind States.[3]

gollark: Just use some random OSes on the forums then.
gollark: <@490656381662396418> There are already decent ones around. You do not have the experience/skills to make another good one and it would be a bit pointless anyway. Instead, you will add another trashy "OS" to the pile of 400 or so existing ones.
gollark: You have to download it, convert to DFPWM, and write that to a tape.
gollark: Tape drives can, but not directly from it.
gollark: <@490656381662396418> do not make an OS.
