Gurjars in ‘The Great Ashoka’s Era
We also find Gurjaras in the times of Great Asoka

King Asoka was from the great Morya clan. In Punjab and nearby areas, the local Gujjars use the word mor or Morya as a prefix. The khatanas of that area always called themselves as ‘Mor-Khatana”. As written by Late Rana Ali Hassan Chouhan (29th descendent of Prithviraj Chuahan) in “Short History of Gujjars”.
It is not that everyone who ruled in that era has to be a Gujjar but Asokas rock edicts and mori clan’s direct relation to parmar Gujjars (of Malva and Rajasthan) has definitely something in common.
