It won't be far-fetched to say that they've bank-rolled everyone from the British East India Company to Middle Eastern Sheikhs, the Sultans of African nations and modern-day start-ups. But for all their deft skills as money-lenders, traders and entrepreneurs, the Bhatia community was once a fierce, sword-wielding, warrior clan.
"The Bhatias were originally kshatriyas," informs Haridas Raigaga, honorary secretary of the Global Bhatia Foundation. "They had conquered lands that today constitute Afghanistan, Pakistan, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat and parts of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh."
Mystery shrouds the origins of the Bhatia community and as a result several theories abound: that their dynasty ruled Magadha between BC 578-447 (Lassen), that they descended from a common Yadav (Yadu or Jadon) ancestor, who was led by Lord Krishna, that they are the followers of Bhaira Raja, the king of Bhatiah in Multan, etc.
