hope you are doing well, can you provide the reference to that sindh institude study of DNA, I will highly appreciate that

I read all of your comments and seems like you have a done a deep research on mewatis, is there any chance you can tell me how can I learn more about us and our ancestors? I will highly appreciate that

Yes without even any DNA study Mevs seems most aryan kshatriya archetype based on their history or pure resistance to foreign invaders, their fearless attitude, bold way of behaving and thinking, having heart filled with love nad humanity for everyone, no violence unless needed.

There is a genetic studies done by Sindh institute in Pakistan, they took sample of 3 tribes from Punjab, 1) Meo 2) Rajput 3) Gujjar for Y dna , i can provide you the link for that study if anyone want. The studies show the highest Aryan blood R1A1 found in Meo %92 followed by Rajput %60 and Gujjar %56. These studies shows Meo are pure Aryan kyshtria Rajput while other Rajput have mixed with other Dravidian tribes of India. The highest R1A1 ever detected in sub continent population is ever detected was in Meo which is 92% followed by Bengal berhman %72 and Sindhi Mohana %72

I really appreciate your knowledge

Yes, tell me how many proofs do you need for the same. Email me

Can you pls provide sources for verification and learning on this topic.

Dear [Author],

I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across this article discussing the Meo community, and I wanted to clarify some important historical facts that seem to have been misrepresented, likely due to the reliance on British-era records such as the Alwar Gazetteer, which is known for its biases.

After the Revolt of 1857, the British harbored immense animosity towards the Meos, especially due to the heavy casualties inflicted by the Meos during the rebellion. The Meo community’s staunch resistance against the British led to a targeted campaign to discredit and derogate them. This is evident in the manipulation of Meo history by colonial administrators, particularly in how the British tried to equate the Meos with the Meenas—two entirely distinct groups.

1. Rajput Origin of the Meos:
The Meo community is not a single caste but a group comprising multiple **Rajput clans** such as the **Tomar, Yadu, Chauhan, Kachwaha, Badgujar, Rathor, Bhati**, and others. These clans have a shared heritage with Rajputs, and the Meos proudly trace their origins to these warrior lineages. The claim in British documents that Meos are related to Meenas due to the superficial similarity in names is baseless and reflects a colonial attempt to distort the truth.

2. Meo and Meena are Distinct:
Contrary to the British Gazetteer’s claims, the **Meos and Meenas have no relation** in terms of origin or social structure. While the Meenas may have their own distinct history, it is entirely separate from that of the Meos, who have always identified themselves with Rajput traditions and warrior ethics. The confusion in historical records has unfortunately caused widespread misinformation, but it is important to differentiate between these two communities.

3. Meo and Mewati – Not Different Castes:
The idea that “Meo” and “Mewati” are two separate castes is completely laughable. “Meo” is simply a term that evolved as a **regional identity** for the people of Mewat. It is not a separate caste but a **regional designation** for Rajput clans from Mewat who later converted to Islam but retained their warrior lineage, traditions, and customs. Historically, the terms “Meo” and “Mewati” have been used interchangeably to refer to the same community.

4. Khanzada and Meo – Same Roots:
There is also confusion about the distinction between **Khanzada and Meo**. The Khanzadas were originally **Rajput rulers of Mewat** who converted to Islam, but like the Meos, they maintained their Rajput identity. The British attempts to create artificial distinctions between Khanzadas and Meos were part of a larger colonial divide-and-rule strategy. Both Khanzada and Meo are fundamentally part of the same Rajput clans that ruled and defended Mewat for centuries.

5. False Historical Narratives:
Unfortunately, the **British colonial perspective has tainted historical records**, and many modern historians have unknowingly propagated these falsehoods by relying on biased sources. The contributions of the Meos, particularly during the 1857 revolt, where over 10,000 Mewatis were martyred in their resistance against British oppression, are often overlooked or minimized. This manipulation of history must be corrected to accurately reflect the true legacy of the Meos as warriors and protectors of their land.

I urge you to reconsider the historical sources used in your article and rectify the misunderstandings regarding the Meo community. The Meos’ proud Rajput heritage and their distinct identity deserve to be recognized correctly, free from the distortions introduced by colonial biases.

Best regards,
[Mewati Historian]
