In the Indian Society there are many groups living in the country whose proven historical evidence is not available regarding their origin and their social and economic life. Cheetah, Barad, Mehrat, Kathat, are one of the important community group living in the particular area of Ajmer Merwara division. In Veer Vinod the Cheetah Barad dynasty is said to have been originated from Prithviraj Chauhan II. According to colonel Todd this community group leader Duda Mer was converted into Muslim in 15^th century and named him Dawood Khan. According to “Veer Vinod” the origin of this caste is from Prithviraj Chauhan who abducted Aswari Meena caste girl named Sahde while worshiping on Teej mistaking as Rajput princess during attack on Bundi. The historical information that we got from various sources about the existence of Cheetah, Mehrat And Kathat group is certainly interesting. It is said that Prithviraj Chauhan handed the Meena girl to his son Jodha Lakhan. From Jodha Lakhan she had two sons ‘Anhal’ and ‘Anoop’. When Jodha Lakhan came to know about the matter he left the lady out of his house than the lady came to Chang which was Gurjur community dominated area. Here both the brother learn the method of warfare. They became the father of this group. Anhal gave birth to Cheetah group and younger brother Anoop was the father of Barad Group.
