), his family members migrated from Mashhad
(Iran
) to Sabzwar and then to India via Gardēz (Afghanistan
) during the reign of Sultan Shams-ud-din Iltutmish
(1211–1235). In India
, this family was acclaimed later on as Gardēzī Sadaat
and received many honorific titles from Mughal emperors.
According to Akhbarul Akhyar by Shaikh Abdul-Haqq Dehlavi
, the two brothers Mir Syed Shahabuddin and Mir Syed Shamsuddin Daod who belonged to Gardezi Sadaat
came to Delhi
during Iltutmish
times. The family of Mir Syed Shahabuddin was settled in Manikpur
while the family of Mir Syed Shamsuddin Daod stayed at the region of Mewat
. From the family of Manikpur, Raji Hamid Shah (caliph Shaikh Hisamuddin Manikpuri) was a famous scholar. The Lineal descendant
of both these brothers in Mewat and Manikpur are remembered as Gardezi Sadaat
. According to Tarikhul Aimma fi Zikr Khulafai Ummah by Mir Mahboob Ali, "some family members of Syed Shamsuddin Daod were settled in Sabzwar, and hence also known as Syed Sabzwari".
In relation to Gardez, Sultan Iltumish knew the family of Mir Syed Shamsuddin very well especially his father 'Mir Zainuddin' from Gardez. Sultan allowed to marry his sister with Mir Syed Shamsuddin. After the demise of his sister, his daughter got married with Mir Syed Shamsuddin. In this way, Mir Syed Shamsuddin enjoyed the royal courtship and remained with Sultan Iltumish. He had two sons Mir Imaduddin and Mir Azduddin. Mir Syed Shamsuddin died either during the reign of Nasir ud din Mahmud

and then Alauddin Khilji
. When Alauddin Khilji killed his uncle Jalaluddin Khilji in 1295 AD/ 695 AH, many prisoners ran away from the jails and many were killed. In this mayhem and confusion, Mir Imaduddin with his nephew Burhanuddin ran away and fled Delhi
to Ranthambore with Muhammad Shah, a rebel general of Sultan Alauddin Khilji in 1299 AD. At that time, Hammir Dev Chauhan
was the king of Ranthambore Fort
. During the attack of Alauddin Khilji
in 701AH/1301AD, both Mir Imaduddin and Burhanuddin were martyred and buried near the gate of Ranthambore Fort
After Mir Imaduddin’s martyr, his family members including his son Syed Shamsuddin Sani (alias Syed Chajju Jagat Jaut) remained in Ranthambore for few more decades. According to Tarikh-i-Firuz_Shahi by Ziauddin Barani
, the families that belonged in the period of Sultan Iltutmish
and remained in the period of Ghiyas ud din Balban
were also from ancestors of Syed Chajju.
The name of Syed Chajju Gardezi is found in many books and journals. It is said that the Islamic mystic saints played a very important part towards the evolution of a common language, known as Khariboli
