Phatak

The Phatak are a clan of Ahir herdsmen, one of the agricultural castes bearing considerable resemblance to Rajputs, claim to be descended from a Sisodia prince of Chittore and the daughter of an Ahir King Digpal of Mahaban, to whom he was married.

Origin

Locally in Braj region, Which includes Mathura, Jalesar, Agra, Hathras, Aligarh, Etah, Mainpuri and Farrukhabad districts of Uttar Pradesh, Phataks are regarded as more Rajput than the average Yadav(Ahir). The Phatak clan claim to be descended from a Sisodia Raja of Chittore who was married to the daughter of Digpal, Raja of Mahaban, an Ahir.

The legend goes as : "once the Raja of Chittor was invaded by the emperor of Delhi. One out of the 12 gates (Phataks) of the city resisted. To commemorate the signal of bravery of the guard of the 12 gate, the king issued a decree that they and their descendants should forever be known after the name of Phatak."

In History

Uttar Pradesh district gazetteers, Volume 24 gives an account of Phatak Ahirs as-"The Phatak Ahirs who lived along the borders of the Yamuna in Mainpuri district gave Sher Shah Suri much trouble and finally later had to send a huge force consisting of 12000 horses to crush them."

Princess In Disguise

by: Fatty Koo

(Verse 1:)
Like a perfect ten in a magazine were the girls that caught my eyes
Sophisticated queen with the sex appeal
Beauty no less than a dime
But the girl that really caught my heart wasn't anything like that at first glance you wouldn't see it...
But she was really bad
-papasito, venconmigo
-dejame demostrar a ti
-que tu no puedes ver
-la mujer (marya-dentro) de mi
(Chorus:)
She's just an average girl
Ain't got no mink and pearls still she's like royalty
She's a princess in disguise
She's got a heart of gold
Within a tale untold, that's where her beauty lies
She's a princess in disguise
Her smile is like a twinkle in the sky
A diamond in the ruff with the heart of a child
Her true beauty is more then skin deep
Because the essence of a women is hidden underneath
(Chorus)
(Verse 2:)
-tomame al castillo que estan en los nubes
Hasme princesa de tu corazon, mi serviente de amor
Desde alli, viajar a otros lugares
Para vivir momentos inolvidables
You stole my heart and sealed it with a kiss
No matter where i look, it can't get no better than this
My princess, my goddess, you came from up above
I'll treat you like royalty, with all my love
Your heart is pure, together we explore
We build on honesty, one solid core
You caught my eye, i can't deny
You're in my heart, you are my pride
