Sodha Rajput
Sodha Rajput are a sub clan of the Paramara dynasty and have originated from Tharparkar Sindh. There are only four villages of Sodha Rajput in Gujarat, namely Moti Bhalsan,Shekhpat,Dhandha and Laliya. Moti Bhalsan is largest of all spreading over an area of roughly 4000 acres of land.
Rana Parbatji Sodha was the founder and head of Moti Bhalsan roughly in 1500 CE. Moti Bhalsan has witnessed the birth of a great warrior Togaji Sodha who played a pivotal role in winning the Battle of Bhuchar Mori[1] near Jamnagar in 1591 CE.
Togaji Sodha also played a vital role in winning the battle of 'Mithoi' near Jamnagar in 1606 CE. It was only because of Togaji Sodha & other great warriors the battle could be won. Togaji Sodha along with three other men dismantled 140 guns of Sultan of Ahmedabad. In this battle Togaji Sodha suffered 84 major wounds. He was considered to be the greatest warrior of that century.
As Sodha Rajput originated from Sindh, you would see the footprints all across the border areas of Western India near Kutch and Rajasthan. Post partition many migrated to the present part of India.
Sodha Rajput worship Sachiya Mata[2] as their Kardevi. The main temple is in Osian near Jodhpur - Rajasthan.
Amarkot in Sindh has the story of giving refuge to the Mughal Emperor Humayun, when he fled from military defeat at the hands of Sher Shah Suri. Amarkot became the birth place of Akbar, the future Mughal emperor of Delhi.
