History
Naruka Rajputs are offshoots of Maharao Naru Singh of Mojad (now called Mozamabad), a Rajput warrior from 15th century Dhundhad region. He was great-grandson of Raja Udaykaran of Amer who reigned 1366-1388 AD.[4][5][6]
At the time of Indian Independence, Rajasthan included 19 princely states (including Alwar), 3 chiefships (Lawa, Neemrana and Kushalgarh) and 1 centrally-adminstered territory of Ajmer-Merwara. Among these total 23 territories, 3 were ruled by Kachhwaha dynasty - Jaipur, Alwar and Lawa.[7][8]
Naru Singh had several issues which included - Dasa, Lala, Teja, Jeta and Chitar.[4]
The territories of which Naruka Rajputs kept hold were collectively called Narukhand.[2][9] In initial history of the clan it is mentioned as territories centered around Mojad (Mozamabad)[2] but later history defines it as a region which was part of the former princely state of Alwar.[4]
