Tewatia or Teotia is an Indian Jat gotra mainly found in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan.[1][2] Tewatias originated in the Gurgaon district of present-day Haryana where they were revenue collectors during the Mughal period. However, they had to shift to Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh after Nahar Singh of Bhallabhgarh opposed the British rule during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.[3]
