Hi user named Sikh-history
"Scholars such as H. A. Rose [1] , believe that they are descended from the Sakas, the Kushans and the Huns."
Where is the specific reference page in your citation ??
There is no separate listing of Matharu in any of the three volumes of A H Rose.
If there is a page that says as you quote ….please mention it .
I hope you will provide the specific reference page for the citation you have provided .Otherwise your repeated misquotes on various articles is getting really odd .

Pliny mentions Arabia.........the Ilisanitæ, the Bachilitæ, the Samnæi, the Amitei, with the towns of Nessa55 and Cennesseris, the Zamareni, with the towns of Sagiatta and Canthace, the Bacascami, the town of Riphearma, the name by which they call barley, the Autei, the Ethravi, the Cyrei and the Mathatræi, the Helmodenes, with the town of Ebode, the Agacturi, dwelling in the mountains, with a town twenty miles distant, in which is a fountain called Ænuscabales56, which signifies "the town of the camels."
55 Agatharchides speaks of a town on the sea coast, which was so called from the multitude of ducks found there. The one here spoken of was in the interior, and cannot be the same.
56 Hardouin observes, that neither this word, nor the name Riphearma, above mentioned, has either a Hebrew or an Arabian origin.
Matharus are known to be of the same stock as the Jat and Kamboj castes as they are a purely Indo-Scythian tribe. A very proud and fiercely independent people, they are amongst the wealthiest and most educated clans of India.Scholars believe that have originated originally from Mathura & were original Jats from that region who emigrated to Punjab and took up carpentry along with Landowning & Farming.
Scholars such as H.A. Rose believe that they are descended from the Sakas, the Kushans and the Huns. According to the Manu Smriti, they (the Sakas) are originally of Kshatriyadescent. In Sanskrit, they are known as Ayogavas, which is more akin to Vaishyas, but are considered degraded Kshatriyas.
Historically, Matharu's occupations have included landowning, farming, politics and military. In Punjab they originate from the regions of Amritsar, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Lahore and Ludhiana. MATHARU name features on one of the marble slabs on Harmandir Sahib's premises (AMRITSAR, India). It is told by family elders that Matharus also built battleships in olden times for attack and defense, and that a canon in the Ranthambore(RAJASTHAN, India) Fort also bears the name MATHARU. Matharus fought in the armies of Prithviraj Chauhan, a wise, brave and famous Warrior King of Ajmer, Rajasthan, who has the credit of unifying the embattled, beleaguered small and large kingdoms and fiefdoms of Rajasthan into one powerful force to reckon with.
Matharu were fierce Warriors. (Fought number of wars in History with Prithvi Raj & Jassa Singh Ramgharia).A spirited clan,they love to work hard and live well. Known for being a highly ambitious and progressive tribe, Matharus are now diversified into many other professions like Engineering, Science, medicine, research, Politics, law & entrepreneurship. 142.160.95.179 ( talk) 06:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Matharus were fierce warriors especially during, the time when the Matharu tribe, had converted to Sikhism; they fought numbers of wars for Guru Gobind Singh, Banda Singh Bahadur and Jassa Singh Ramgarhia.
'Matharu or Matharoo (ਮਠਾੜੂ in Gurmukhī script) is a prominent Sikh clan belonging to the Jatt tribe.
Sir Denzil Ibbetson counted the Matharus as one of the major Jatt tribes of the Punjab and the Northwest Frontier Province, centred in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Lahore and Ludhiana.
The origin of Matharu was a Jatt clan.Later they were thought of Ramgharia / Tarkhan /Jatt etc. Matharu Jatts are dominant in some villages of Punjab including Jattana, Chounkimaan, Nakodar and areas around Moga. Matharus are widely known as successful landowning farmers through Punjab today. Matharus claiming Jadaun Rajput ancestry are found in Sialkot, Narowal, Gujranwala, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Patiala and Ludhiana districts.
Variant forms of the name include Matharoo, Matharu, Matharo, Mathru and Matroo. Matharu’s live in Canada, India, U.K., USA etc.
They originate from the regions of Amritsar, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Lahore and Ludhiana in Punjab. The name Matharu appears on one of the marble slabs on the premises of the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar. Matharus built battleships in olden times, and a cannon in the Ranthambore Fort at Rajasthan also bears the name Matharu. Matharus also built weapons for and fought in the armies of Guru Gobind Singh, Prithviraj Chauhan and Akbar.
In 1984, the Sikh extremist leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale started a Sikh militancy against the Indian Government for creating an independent Sikh state in Punjab to Khalistan. A great number of Matharus and its village of Chaunkiman in Jagroan, Punjab were among the sikhs who supported him.
The Punjab Gazetteer says of the Matharus, in a description of the Amritsar District,They possess all the good qualities and martial spirit. Thus in the military atmosphere they have the honour to share up to this day, with their allies, the topmost position among the Brotherhood of Lions. 142.160.95.179 ( talk) 06:40, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
for people with this surname. Cut the facts, fables or whatever about any clan. Of course the article would then have to be retitled. 126.157.199.91 ( talk) 04:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
