History
According to ancient history, Savji were once the rulers of the north central India. They belong to the lunar dynasty of the Arya race. In puranic times, the king SahasrÄrjuna (also known as Kartavirya Arjuna or Sahastrabahu) of the Haihaya dynasty ruled his ancient kingdom and had his capital in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh. Written accounts of SahasrÄrjuna can be found in the Mahabharata, Ramayana and the Puranas. He is also mentioned as one of the Chakravartin kings in puran and Mahabharata.
Later, medieval history (8th century to 13th century) is attributed to the Savji kings and dynasties who were the direct descendants of Sahastrarjun, who ruled in north central India, notable among them being the Kalchuri dynasties. They withstood the constant threats from the Muslim invasions. However with the fall of the Kalchuri rulers and the threat of rising conversions by the Islamic rulers, whose kingdoms were expanding from the north, the community started migrating slowly from their original homeland to other parts of India during the 12th and 13th century AD.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
