History

""Ram Sarup Joon"" writes that Thaka, Janjoha and " Batth " gotras are branches of Yaudheya/ gotra. According to the Mahabharata Yodhya Kings gave presents on the coronation ceremony of Yudhisthira. Arrian, the historian of Alexander the Great, also refers to Yodha ruling dynasty.
Bath is an ancient clan still existing in village Rajewal/Kulewal near Samrala, Ludhiana district. Their coins also have been found with the legend Vata Svaka. The first name is of the clan Vata or Bata which is now written as Bath and the second name of course may be of the individual ruler. The find spot of the coins also points to the Punjab source.
H.A. Rose writes that Bat, " Batth ਬਾਠ " Jat "clan" is found in Amritsar. Crowther gives the following list of the Bat septs :
" Bat ",

which may all inter-marry, so that a Bat sometimes may marry a Bat. All these septs are said to be descendants of San-or Sainpal, who came from the Malwa 800 years ago. They first settled at Odhyara in " " Lahore ". Khair's descendants have two jatheras, Rajpal and his grandson Shahzada, who fell in a fight with the Kang Jats at Khadur Sahib in Amritsar. The Bath are also found as a Sikh and " Muhammadan Jat " clan in Montgomery.
