Kasana (Gojri:कसाणा) or Kushane (Gojri: कुषाणे ), often cited to be derived from Kushan(कुषाण), is a Gujjar clan.〔http://www.gurjarindia.com/Culture/Origin.html〕 Kasanas are mainly found in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.In India Kasana are found in the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat and Maharashtra. The Kasana clan is a very numerous and powerful force in Gujarat. A Kasana is said to be known as Gusur (man or woman born in a very high family). The clan is a very highly populated clan and there are many well known people from this clan that are well known all around Pakistan, North West of India and Afghanistan. --> |} == Origin == Chinese sources describe the ''Guishuang'' (貴霜), ''i.e.'' the Kushans, as one of the five aristocratic tribes of the Yuezhi〔Yueh-chi or Yüeh-chih in other transcriptions, For romanized spelling Yueh-chi see: Keay, p. 110.〕 (月氏), with some people claiming they were a loose confederation of Indo-European peoples,〔(Kushan Empire (ca. 2nd century BC–3rd century AD) | Thematic Essay | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art )〕 though many scholars are still unconvinced that they originally spoke an Indo-European language. "For well over a century, however, there have been many arguments about the ethnic and linguistic origins of the Da Yuezhi (大月氏), Kushans (貴霜), and the Tochari, and still there is little consensus.〔Hill (2009), p. 311.〕 John Keay contextualizes the movements of the Kushan within a larger setting of mass migrations taking place in the region: General Cunningham identified the Kushans as Gurjars or ''Gujjar''. The word ''Gusur'' is referenced in the Rabatak inscription of Kushan king Kanishka. According to some scholars the Word ''Gusur'', which means ''Kulputra'' or a "man or woman born in high family", in this inscription stands for ''Gurjara''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kasana clan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
