Pathania is the name of a branch of the Tamara Rajputs.It is one of the ruling Rajput Clans of India. Their Empire was at Nurpur, established in the 11th Century, situated in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. Rana Jethpal (11th Century AD.), the younger brother of Anang Pal II of Delhi, came to Jallandhar Doab also called Bist Doab to carve out a territory for himself. After crossing the Beas river he captured a fort called Bhet, and for this reason it is said, he acquired the name Rana Bhet. After that, he became the master of the Fort and the city of Paithan, now known as Pathankot, and from then onward, he came to be known as a Pathania Rajput instead of a Tanwar Rajput. Pathania Rajputs are Dogra Rajputs descended from Lord Arjuna, the hero of Mahabharata.They mostly live in and around Himachal Pradesh, in North India. The Pathania clan governed the Empire of Nurpur, until 1849 AD.,they were renowned for their opposition against foreign rule, which they proved by giving battle to invaders until 1849 AD., after which the Empire was annexed by the British, the Raja being a minor. This clan has to its credit three Maha Vir Chakra winners in the Indian Army. This clan has also won many other gallantry awards while serving in the British army of India.
