The Kingdom of Delhi was founded by Anangpal Tomar,
“The Kingdom of Delhi was founded by Anangpal Tomar, whose dynasty, by virtue of descent from the Pandavas, claimed to be Lords Paramount of India”
—From A Pageant of India by Adolf Simon Wale
The Tomar Rajput dynasty of Delhi lasted until Maharaja Anangpal Tomar-II, who to quote Lt. Col. Tod, in his Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan was “justly entitled to be termed the paramount sovereign of Hindustan”.
Tomar Rajput ruler Anangpal Tomar II appointed his grandson (daughter’s son, and son of King of Ajmer), Prithviraj Chauhan, as the heir apparent. Some historians believe that Prithvaraj was merely a caretaker king as long as his grandfather was alive. Prithviraj was never crowned in Delhi, hence adding weight to the view that the Chauhan ruler usurped the thrown from his maternal grandfather.[citation needed]
According to records kept by Jagas of Tomar/ Tanwar Rajputs, King Anangpal made Prithviraj only as caretaker when he went on a religious pilgrimage, as his own sons were very small at that time. When King Anangpal returned back, Prithviraj refused to hand over the kingdom. (Jagas are hereditary tribal record keepers of Rajputs.)[citation needed]
Following their loss of control at Delhi after the defeat at Tarain of the Indian Confederacy against Shahbuddin Ghori, a branch of the Tomar clan established itself in the area of modern Gwalior in northern Madhya Pradesh. Later – Man Singh Tomar built the fortress citadel which still stands there.
The Mughal emperor Akbar captured Gwalior in 1559. Some Tomar Rajputs converted to Islam during the Muslim-Mughal rule; Tomar Muslim Rajputs are found in western Rajasthan, Pakistan and Sind.
Tomars moved from Delhi to Haryana (Bhiwani, Mahendergarh and Karnal Districts), Madya Pradesh (Gwalior, and Morena and Bhind Districts), Punjab, and Rajasthan (Patan State and surrounding areas). They are spread from Punjab, to Western Uttar Pradesh (Meerut, Badaun, Bareilly, Baraut, Muzaffarnagar Ghaziabad, Aligarh, Bulandshahr), Bewar (Mainpuri) significant parts of Himachal Pradesh, to western Rajastan to Northern Madhya Pradesh and even some in Pakistan.

Good info on this site however being a Tomar myself I am always curious to how Tomars migrated all over India from Delhi.I want to trace my roots the best I know at present is that our ancestors migrated to Bihar from somewhere in Gwalior region about 300 odd years back
All I know from what Ive been told is that my ancestors were send here to defeat a local king who had created a reign of terror which they did and settled the area in Balia called Sitabdiara(also famous as the birthplace of JP)and hence our sub clan name “beruar” or the executioners of beru.
Dear editor we need someone to do some research on the migration of rajputs from Rajasthan/Delhi so that we rajputs can reconnect with each other and regain our lost glory

i am not agree with all buddy.. . . agar tomar raja muslims se dar kar bhagte nahi to delhi par raj Rajputon ka aaj bhi hota .. gwalior me gwalior fort bhi Suraj sen kachwaha ne Man singh tomar ko gift dia wo bhi tomar par nahi sambhala gaya gwalior region ke tomro ko muslim bana diya tab bhi kuch nahi ukhad paye tomar , kuch to accha kar lete.
agar ye padkar samajh kuch aaya ho to ye jaatiwad chhodkar kuch desk ke liye karne ki socho . mayawati jaise raj kar rahe hain or hum sab haath par haath rakhe baithe hai .. so do something for our india then u feel proud to be an INDIAN … jai hind
