A Glimpse Surajkund Mela Gathering

Kaku Rana Mewati

Description: Kaku Rana, also known as Kaku Rana Balot Meo, was a notable leader of the Meo community in the Mewat region during the 13th century. He is recognized for organizing the Meos into a structured system consisting of three main lineages (vansh), thirteen subdivisions (pals), and fifty-two clans (gotras), a framework that remains significant in the community’s social structure.
During the reign of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Balban (1266–1287), Mewat witnessed multiple military campaigns aimed at subduing the Meo population. Kaku Rana played a key role in leading the resistance against these invasions. Establishing his stronghold at Garhdhamna, near Mehrauli, he led the Meos in their efforts to defend their land. However, despite their resistance, the Meos suffered significant defeats, prompting Balban to set up police posts and forts to tighten his control over the region.
