बंगाल में बसे मोहयाल का भ्रम दूर करें

Raibatak:
namaste Ashok ji,

one question has been whirling in my mind for past one year. and I thought you would be the right person to ask about it as you are writing mohyal history.

we are called vaid brahmins of bengal, descendants of sen kings, our gotra is dhanvantari.
our kulgrantha said that we came from somewhere in punjab.
then i was surprised to see that is dhanvantari gotra among mohyals and moreover their surname is vaid. i was wondering whether there is any connection, because like mohyals, we also are traditional kings and landlords and abhor priestly duties.
i would be grateful if you give your opinion

आपने ठीक लिखा है। आप मोहयाल हैं । वैद मोहयालों के गोत्र ऋषि ' धन्वन्तरी ' हैं। इसी ब्लॉग में ऋषि धन्वन्तरी के चित्र और आरती हैं । अनेक मोहयाल देश के विभिन्न अंचलों में जाकर बस गए थे। आज भी उनके रीति -रिवाज और परम्पराएँ वही हैं। मेरे संबंधी वर्षों से बिहार में बस गए थे। उन पर वहां के स्थानीय प्रभाव पड़ने स्वाभाविक थे। मेरे एक और परिचित ने बताया था कि उनके पूर्वज चार-पाँच पीढ़ी पहले केरल में बस गए थे। वे पंजाब से गए थे। बातचीत करते हुए पता चला कि वे मोहयाल ही थे। हाँ, वे पूरी तरह से केरलमय हो चुके थे।
आप आपने साथ अपनी जाति 'वैद' ही लिखें । आप तो शत-प्रतिशत मोहयाल हैं।

उत्तर आया
Raibatak:
Thank you sir. I am flattered that you have replied to my answer.

my confusion has been terminated with your satisfactory explanation. this means our clan is an offshoot of the mohyals. nobel laureate Amartya sen, Miss universe Sushmita sen ,are famous bengali vaid brahmins. I will be grateful if you write about this mohyal clan which has been living in bengal for over 800 years and reigned over a large kingdom comprising of bengal, bihar,and eastern UP for 300 years before the muslims conqured it.
i have visited the blogs and also become a fan of your poems.

thanking you once again. pranam.
