History
Their two ancestors were named Bariyaar Singh and Chahu Singh, both sons of Raja Chattarsen Chattrapati, the 7th descendant of king Trilokchandra. [1] On the name of Bariyaar Shah (locally known as baruwar, some say they are bariyaar Bais too), the whole clan is known. In reality, they are Bais Kshatriya who migrated from daudiyakheda; local Kshatriya, due to their pronunciation, started calling them Baruwar[3] In 1570, Bariyaar Singh and Chahu Singh were both imprisoned by Akbar while fighting for other Rajput principalities. Later, after release, they conquered Pargana Amsin[4] of Awadh and established a separate Taluka Pali which was spread over 14 Kos.[3] By 1227 fasali i.e. 1820, there were 159 villages under the control of baruwars[3] which were later abolished until Indian Rebellion of 1857. Currently, there are 42 villages of Baruwars in Maya bazar Vikaas khand of district Ayodhya.
