Incredible History Of Ladshakhiy Wani Samaj.Rajasthan to Maharashtra Relocation Journy

Overview

The video is a presentation of the historical origin and migration story of the Ladshakhiya (Ladwani/Ladvani) Vani Samaj, presented as a “grand convention” in Pune. The speaker(s) say the purpose is to preserve community history for today’s youth and future generations, drawing from elder scholars and written sources.

Main historical narrative and claims

1) 13th century / royal association

The story connects the community’s early background to Chandabhat (Chandbardai), described as a warrior, writer, and royal poet in the court of King Prithviraj Chauhan. His work Prithviraj Raso is cited.

2) Chittor / ancestral role

Ancestors are portrayed as influential moneylenders (Mahajan Maheshree) in Chittorgarh.

3) Parashuram Mahajan’s dispute and departure

The account describes Sir Parashuram Mahajan managing large landholdings and auctioning resources such as:

• wood
• grass
• sand
• limestone

When local authorities demand a larger share, Parashuram is said to refuse. He then convenes leaders from seven gotras, emphasizing the community as Vaishyas involved in trade (with “bone traders” mentioned in the subtitles), and decides to leave if necessary.

4) Migration to Marwar

The video claims a decisive migration: abandoning immovable property and moving with:

• 500 bullock carts
• 200 camels
• 1000 cows
• twelve bulls to Marwar.

5) Trade route and business livelihood

Their livelihood is described as continuing trade—selling spices and herbs (including cumin, turmeric, coriander, and other goods) in regions around Gujarat (Kathiawad) and then Mumbai. They return with salt from places such as Mulund and Bhayander back to Marwar.

6) Settlement at Gopwadi and the rise of Lado Ramji

Some families later migrate to Gopwadi (described as a border area of Gujarat and Maharashtra). A “divine child” is said to be born to Parashuram—later known as Lado Ramji—depicted as free from:

• anger
• hatred
• greed
• jealousy

His followers are said to perform ceremonies such as:

• death anniversary observances
• Bhandara

Charitable people are also described as gifting 50 bighas of land and digging a stepwell called Veer Khodi.

7) Community naming

Because followers were linked to the saint Lado Ramji, the people become known as Ladshakiya / Ladvani, associated with the Lado Ramji branch.

8) Communication across Maharashtra (around 1621)

Subtitles claim that from Gopwadi, communication and movement in Maharashtra expanded around 1621, passing through Pilovod and Amalgaon, then settling in places including:

• Nagardevala
• Shirud
• Dondai

Later areas mentioned include Songir, Kalvan, Jaykheda, and Mulher, spreading throughout the Khanate (as stated in subtitles).
