कुमाँऊ का संक्षिप्त इतिहास
कुमाँऊ शब्द की उत्पत्ति कुर्मांचल से हुई है जिसका मतलब है कुर्मावतार (भगवान विष्णु का कछुआ रूपी अवतार) की धरती। कुमाँऊ मध्य हिमालय में स्थित है, इसके उत्तर में हिमालय, पूर्व में काली नदी, पश्चिम में गढवाल और दक्षिण में मैदानी भाग। इस क्षेत्र में मुख्यतया ‘कत्यूरी’ और ‘चंद’ राजवंश के वंशजों द्धारा राज्य किया गया। उन्होंने इस क्षेत्र में कई मंदिरों का भी निर्माण किया जो आजकल सैलानियों (टूरिस्ट) के आकर्षण का केन्द्र भी हैं। कुमाँऊ का पूर्व मध्ययुगीन इतिहास ‘कत्यूरी’ राजवंश का इतिहास ही है, जिन्होंने 7 वीं से 11 वीं शताब्दी तक राज्य किया। इनका राज्य कुमाँऊ, गढवाल और पश्चिम नेपाल तक फैला हुआ था। अल्मोडा शहर के नजदीक स्थित खुबसूरत जगह बैजनाथ इनकी राजधानी और कला का मुख्य केन्द्र था। इनके द्धारा भारी पत्थरों से निर्माण करवाये गये मंदिर वास्तुशिल्पीय कारीगरी की बेजोड मिसाल थे। इन मंदिरों में से प्रमुख है ‘कटारमल का सूर्य मंदिर’ (अल्मोडा शहर के ठीक सामने, पूर्व के ओर की पहाडी पर स्थित)। 900 साल पूराना ये मंदिर अस्त होते ‘कत्यूरी’ साम्राज्य के वक्त बनवाया गया था।
कुमाँऊ में ‘कत्यूरी’ साम्राज्य के बाद पिथौरागढ के ‘चंद’ राजवंश का प्रभाव रहा। जागेश्वर का प्रसिद्ध शिव मंदिर इन्ही के द्धारा बनवाया गया था, 
इसकी परिधि में छोटे बडे कुल मिलाकर 164 मंदिर हैं।
ऐसा माना गया है कि ‘कोल’ शायद कुमाँऊ के मूल निवासी थे, द्रविडों से हारे जाने पर उनका कोई एक समुदाय बहुत पहले कुमाँऊ आकर बस गया। आज भी कुमाँऊ के शिल्पकार उन्हीं ‘कोल’ समुदाय के वंशज माने जाते हैं। बाद में ‘खस’ समुदाय के काफी लोग मध्य एशिया से आकर यहाँ के बहुत हिस्सों में बस गये। कुमाँऊ की ज्यादातर जनसंख्या इन्हीं ‘खस’ समुदाय की वंशज मानी जाती है। ऐसी कहावत है कि बाद में ‘कोल’ समुदाय के लोगों ने ‘खस’ समुदाय के सामने आत्मसमर्फण कर इनकी संस्कृति और रिवाज अपनाना शुरू कर दिया होगा। ‘खस’ समुदाय के बाद कुमाँऊ में ‘वैदिक आर्य’ समुदाय का आगमन हुआ। स्थानीय राजवंशों के इतिहास की शुरूआत के साथ ही यहाँ के ज्यादातर निवासी भारत के तमाम अलग अलग हिस्सों से आये ‘सवर्ण या ऊंची जात’ से प्रभावित होने लगे। आज के कुमाँऊ में ब्राह्मण, राजपूत, शिल्पकार, शाह (कभी अलग वर्ण माना जाता था) सभी जाति या वर्ण के लोग इसका हिस्सा हैं। संक्षेप में, कुमाँऊ को जानने के लिये हमेशा निम्न जातियों या समुदाय का उल्लेख किया जायेगा – शोक्य या शोक, बंराजिस, थारू, बोक्स, शिल्पकार, सवर्ण, गोरखा, मुस्लिम, यूरोपियन (औपनिवेशिक युग के समय), बंगाली, पंजाबी (विभाजन के बाद आये) और तिब्बती (सन् 1960 के बाद)।
| 6वीं शताब्दी (ए.डी) से पहले | - | क्यूनीनदास या कूनीनदास |
| 6वीं शताब्दी (ए.डी) के दौरान | - | खस, नंद और मौर्य। |
| 6वी से 12वी शताब्दी (ए.डी) | - | इस दौरान कत्यूरी वंश ने सारे कुमाँऊ में शासन किया। 1191 और 1223 के दौरान दोती (पश्चिम नेपाल) के मल्ल राजवंश के अशोका मल्ल और क्रचल्ला देव ने कुमाँऊ में आक्रमण किया। कत्यूरी वंश छोटी छोटी रियासतों में सीमित होकर रह गया। |
| 12वी शताब्दी (ए.डी) से | - | चंद वंश के शासन की शुरूआत। चंद राजवंश ने पाली, अस्कोट, बारामंडल, सुई, दोती, कत्यूर द्धवाराहाट, गंगोलीहाट, लाखनपुर रियासतों में अधिकार कर अपने राज्य में मिला ली। |
| 1261 – 1275 | - | थोहर चंद |
| 1344 – 1374 या 1360 – 1378 | - | अभय चंद। कुछ ताम्रपत्र मिले जो चंद वंश के अलग अलग शासकों से संबन्धित थे लेकिन शासकों के नाम का पता नही चल पाया। |
| 1374 – 1419 (ए.डी) | - | गरूड़ ज्ञानचंद |
| 1437 – 1450 (ए.डी) | - | भारती चंद |
| 1565 – 1597 (ए.डी) | - | रूद्र चंद |
| 1597 – 1621 (ए.डी) | - | लक्ष्मी चंद। चंद शासकों के दौरान नये शहरों की स्थापना और इनका विकास भी हुआ जैसे रूद्रपुर, बाजपुर, काशीपुर। |
| 1779 – 1786 (ए.डी) | - | कुमाँऊ के परमार राजकुमार, प्रद्धयुमन शाह ने प्रद्धयुमन चंद के नाम से राज्य किया और अंततः गोरखाओं के साथ खुरबुरा (देहरादून) के युद्ध में वीरगति को प्राप्त हुआ। |
| 1788 – 1790 (ए.डी) | - | महेन्द्र सिंह चंद, ऐसा माना जाता है कि यह चंद वंश का अंतिम शासक था। जिसने राजबुंगा (चंपावत) से शासन किया लेकिन बाद में अल्मोडा से किया। |
| 1790 – 1815 (ए.डी) | - | कुमाँउ में गोरखाओं का राज्य रहा। गोरखाओं के निर्दयता और जुल्म से भरपूर शासन में चंद वंश के शासकों का पूरा ही नाश हो गया। |
| 1814 – 1815 (ए.डी) | - | नेपाल युद्ध। ईस्ट इंडिया कम्पनी ने गोरखाओं को पराजित कर कुमाऊँ में राज्य करना शुरू किया। |
यदपि ब्रिटिश राज्य गोरखाओं (जिसको गोरख्योल कहा जाता था) से कम निर्दयता पूर्ण और बेहतर था लेकिन फिर भी ये विदेशी राज्य था। लेकिन फिर भी ब्रिटिश राज्य के दौरान ही कुमाँऊ में प्रगति की शुरूआत भी हुई। इसके बाद, कुमाँऊ में भी लोग विदेशी राज्य के खिलाफ उठ खडे हुए।

आशीष जी एक दम सही कह रहे है।
September 5th, 2006 at 5:57 am
पर भई अशोक का जीवनकाल सन् 304-232 ईसापूर्व में था।
शायद आप “1191 और 1223″ कहना चाह रहे हैं!!
वैसे overall बढ़िया लेख है। इतनी जानकारी देने का धन्यवाद। कभी अल्मोड़ा आदि भी होकर आएँगे और फ़िर वहाँ का 900 वर्ष पुराना “कटारमल का सूर्य मंदिर” देखेंगे।
September 5th, 2006 at 8:45 am
@आशीष और @रत्ना, समय मिलते ही ये किया जायेगा।
@अमित, इतिहास में अपना हाथ जरा तंग है इसलिये अशोक वाली कहानी कहीं से वेरिफाई करनी पडेगी। दूसरी गलती के लिये धन्यवाद पहले ११९१ ही लिखा था लेकिन अंग्रेजी नंबर लिखने में गडबड हो गई। शुक्रिया दोनो बातें ध्यान दिलाने का, बडी मुद्दत बाद तुम्हारा कमेंट देख कर अच्छा लगा।
लेख सराहने के लिये आप तीनो का शुक्रिया
September 5th, 2006 at 12:09 pm
अरे अशोक के जीवनकाल के बारे में तो मैं सही हूँ जी। यह तो हर इतिहास की किताब में मिल जाएगा। यकीन नहीं तो यहाँ विकिपीडिया पर देख लो।
अब ऐसा है कि आप तो जानते ही हो कि आजकल समय के मामले में अपना हाथ जरा तंग है। वैसे यह चाणक्य ने कहा था कि “समय का एक पल सौ करोड़ स्वर्ण मुद्राएँ देने पर भी नहीं खरीदा जा सकता”। तो जितना समय ब्लॉग आदि पढ़ने का मिलता है उसमें कुछ चुनिंदा लेख ही पढ़ पाता हूँ। अब यह लेख ऐसा था कि इसे तो पढ़ना ही था!!

Kumoun ka itihas padhkar bahut achha laga. Mere man mai kai varson se ek sawal jagata hai jiska jawab pana muskil hai. Main Bhikiyasain ke pas Basot gaon ka rahane wala hun aur Almora mai padha hun. Main “Oli” jati ka hun. Maine dekha hai ki Dwarahat aur Pithoragarh main “Oli” Rajput aur Brahaman hain lekin hamare gaon main yehi log shilpkar hain. Iska kya karan ho sakata hai. Koi itihaskar iska pata laga sakata hai. Aisa kaise ho gaya.

It is a good effort to spread knowledge of Kumaoni history.
Mr. Padam R Arya has raised an interesting question. I have also visited many places of Kumaon region and found that people have created distance among themselves based on their caste, colour and customs. Surprisingly, as it is said in this website only, “history section”; कुमाँऊ को जानने के लिये हमेशा निम्न जातियों या समुदाय का उल्लेख किया जायेगा, but these lower castes are most poor in condition, with useless land or no land and no water sources, even separated in many places. Therefore the true history of kumaon can never be revealed. It seems that the poor families or groups were identified as lower castes and mindful were identified as upper castes in the past, resulting all the resources were possessed by selected groups hence whatever we know today, cannot be verified.

The constructions made by the katyuris like the katarmal, baijnath temple and in hills by katyuris has really made it DEVBHOOMI in this modern virtual world.
Hats off to the person responsible for imparting this information

Nice details, but you have not mentioned before 600 AD and also for BC.
As per coins we can find out the Pandavas development during their AGWATwas (like Bhimtal, Pandukholi, Taragtal etc.). They have also built many temple and some lake.
We can also find out from coils rule of Gupt Vans and Samundragupt was the superior king in Indian hisotry, alos attack in China, Nepal. At the time of his region nobody can defeat him in his carrier.
Kunindas was also there who dominated the area from 500 BC to 600 AD

Interesting to read & informative. Had the author given some proof (references),it would have been authentic. Like Kols being the break away group of Dravids and shilpkars being the descendants of kols. Kols surrendering before Khas and embracing their culture &customs.Whatever happened to the culture & customs of Kols?. Words like “mana gaya hai/shayad” do not hold much water. I shall be thankful if any one could clear my doubts.

@Jaman lalji, ye ek english lekh se anuvaad kiya gaya hai, aur jehan tak “mana gaya hai” type ke words ki baat hai to woh kai baar history style artciles me bhi parne ko mil jaata hai.
Aise artciles information milne ke saath saath correct bhi kiye ja sakte hai. Agar aapne note kiya hoga to kuch words kaate bhi gaye hain, jiske ek dusre reader ne thik karwaya tha.
Agar aap ke paas sahi ya aur jyada information hai to aap bhi sabke saath share kar sakte hain.

Talking about the history, Kumaon was part of Nepal politically and is part of nepal Legally. The then government of Nepal and The East India Company made a treaty called Sugauli Sandhi to cease the war. Nepal had to lose one third part of it’s land including Kumaon-Gadhwal.
Later when East India Company left India, that part should go to Nepal legally but that didn’t happen. Another strong legal advantage to nepal is that India and nepal did another treaty which states to void all the treaties between East India Company and Nepal. That means, all the part like Kumaon -Gadhal upto Kangada.
I’m Nepali and i know nepal can not take it’s land back easily from the political giant country like India.
However that’s the truth. I ‘m waiting for the reply from other local people.

Hi, I belong to Shilpkar community also called “Arya”. My village name is Chupad also called “Chopra”, near “Garam Pani” thats why I use “Chupad” surname. I have been running a coaching centre in Delhi for last 10 years for College students of Commerce stream. I have taught several students who belonged to Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishya castes of Kumaon.
Most of the surnames used in Kumaon are the names of places where people belong to. I read lots of articles about History of Kumaon and came to know that only The Aryas or Shilpkars or Kols are original inhabitants of Kumaon and all others are migrated to Kumaon. You can say that Kols were the oldest tribes of Kumaon who did all kinds of job what human does to live. The oldest men were enough knowledgeable and wise to lead the groups in their time. Later when other groups migrated to this region, conflicts must have risen for various vested interests of individuals or groups. Over the period of time different groups merged together as well as separated to create new groups, hence new castes, gotra, customs, beliefs and work were adopted and all these categories like; Brahmins, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudras were formed based on the knowledge and interest of work. Later people followed particular work skills in their families that created their identity. It is very difficult for anybody to prove his originality because people merged with each others group, changed their work and migrated to one place to other for so many reasons. Even today, so many young boys and girls from different region, religion, caste, gotra and beliefs are getting married just on the basis of their common interest. Everybody is free to become educated and choose any career to serve the society. Everybody is free to visit any temple in the country.
So at the end, I would like to say that we must think about our present and future but not our past. It does not matter if I belonged to a King dynasty because nobody is going to salute me for that but the important things would be my behaviour, my knowledge and my work skills that will make me a useful person for the society.

Hi, I am also an uttarakhandi belong to Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. It was nice to read article “History of Kumaon”. I would like to know about Goril Devta (known as GOLU in Kumaon region) I heard that this Devta was also a King of Kaituri Densty then how he became a Devta and being worshipped by us in Kumaon as well as Garhwal. Some part of Garhwal this is being worshipped as Kandolia. If any body has some knowledge about this, please share your knowledge with us. Please also post history of Garhwal also. Thanks
