इतिहास
संपादित करेंसौदा वंश के संस्थापक कच्छ (गुजरात) के खोड़ गांव के निवासी बारूजी चारण थे। बारूजी एक धनी व्यापारी थे। वे घोड़ों का व्यापार करते थे। जब 13वीं शताब्दी के अंत में चित्तौड़ पर दिल्ली सल्तनत के आक्रमण के बाद गुहिलोत वंश मेवाड़ से विस्थापित हो गया,[3] तो बारूजी ने राणा हम्मीर को सैन्य सहायता प्रदान की और युद्ध में उनके 500 घोड़ों को उधार दिया। चित्तौड़ पर आक्रमण में बारूजी और उनके लोग राणा हम्मीर के साथ लड़े।[4][5]
चित्तौड़ पर सफलतापूर्वक विजय करने के बाद, राणा हम्मीर ने बारुजी को मेवाड़ साम्राज्य के प्रोलपात पाटवी (बारहठ) का पद प्रदान किया, जो उनके भावी पीढ़ी के वंशजों को उत्तराधिकार में मिला। [6] [7]
बारुजी के वंशजों को 'सौदा' चारण कहा जाता है, जो कि राणा हम्मीर द्वारा दी गई एक उपाधि है क्योंकि वे घोड़ों के बड़े व्यापारी (सौदागर) थे। मेवाड़ में बारुजी के वंशजों की जागीरें:- आंतरी, पानौद, बड़वारा, सोनियाणा ( कांकरोली के पास), तललाई, बीकाखेड़ा और राबछा है। [8]

Baru was a rich dealer in horses and had a large number of them in his stables. He purchased some more and making up the number came to Kailwara. Hammir was waiting for the caravan and at once took the horses and treated Baru with respect, and gave him the confidential post of " Keeper of the gate." He made him his Barhat and bestowed on him the village of Antri with several other villages, which are still enjoyed by his descendants.

Influx of the Kathiawari into Mewar was historically older, and apart from Charan traders regularly trading horses (a sub-class of Charans are known as ‘sauda’ barhats, such as those from Soniyana village in Mewar), a big example of the coming of Kathiawari horses into Mewar and beyond is the episode of the help provided by the Charan devi Aai Varvadi to Rana Hammir singh of the Sisodiya clan when he reclaimed Chittor from Maldev of Jalore (under whom it was placed by Alauddin Khilji after sack of Chittor), by sending an army of 500 Kathiawari cavalry under her son Baruji to assist Hammir Singh in retaking Chittor. This was in early 14th century.
