READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW 
OUR ADIWASI SALUTATION "JOHAR" !
1) WHAT IS "JOHAR"?(JOWHAR/JOUHAR)
'Johar means sacrifice. this is the word which link Fighter communities 
with each other. only fighter castes are associated with this...people who 
are ready to die for their esteem ;even though they lost battle ..they 
remind their bravery to enemy by saying 'johar'(I m ready to fight n 
sacrifice )'
2)"JOHAR" IN WARALKHAND :-FROM BOMBAY GAZETTEERS DEPARTMENT
(BY 'MASUDI' THE FOREIGN VISITER IN 915 A.D.)
'Masudi has a curious passage about the self-sacrifice which he says was 
then common among the people of the Konkan. When a man wished to burn 
himself he had first to get the king's leave. When leave was granted, while 
the pyre was being prepared, the victim passed through the streets with the 
sound of timbrels and cymbals, clad in silk, and attended by friends. His 
head was crowned with tuhi or sweet basil and shaved, and on it were placed 
burnt pieces of sulphur and gum sandarach. As he went he chewed betel-nut 
and betle-leaves. When he had made the circuit of the town he came back to 
the fire and threw himself into it. In one case of which Masudi was an 
eye-witness a young man, after making the round of the town, on coming to 
the fire stood before it without a sign of fear or uneasiness. He then 
seized a knife and ripped open his belly, put his left hand into the wound, 
grasped his liver, drew it out, cut it with the knife, handed it to one of 
his brothers, and leaped into the fire. It was usual, when a king died or 
was killed, for a number of persons who were known as 'Friends of the King' 
to burn themselves alive. It made one shudder to hear the stories that were 
told of the tortures and punishments which the Indians had imagined. They 
underwent these tortures because for every pain here they looked for a 
pleasure hereafter. Masudi Prairies d'Or, II, 85, 87. In connection with 
this passage of Masudi it is worthy of note that in some battle scenes, 
probably of about the same date, or a little later, near Shahapur in Thana 
men are shown leaping into a blazing fire.]. The language of the people was 
said to be Lari that is Gujarati [Gujarati may have then been the language 
of trade in Cheul as it now is in Bombay. References to Lar or Lat are 
given in Bombay Gazetteer, XII 57, note 1. The name survives in the Lad 
division of Vanis, Vanjaris and other castes, and perhaps in the local 
Maratha phrases Var-lat for inland Konkan, and Khallat for coast Konkan.]'.
3) "JOHAR" IN WIKIPEDIA :-
Practice[edit]

Jauhar is often described in terms of the women and children alone, but 
should correctly be understood as including the death of the men on the 
battlefield. Jauhar and saka involved:
A defending Hindu army being besieged inside a fortification by an invading 
Iranian or Muslim enemy army
The realization by the defenders that defeat was both imminent and 
inescapable
The realization by the defenders that the enemy army would capture women 
and children
The immolation, en masse, of women and young children to avoid dishonour of 
being captured by the invading army
The men of the besieged army riding out to a certain death on the 
battlefield
It was considered proper for the men to fight to the last breath when 
defeat became certain in a war but jauhar was committed to avoid capture 
and dishonour of royal women. When defeat at the hands of a more powerful 
enemy was imminent, the women, dressed in wedding finery, immolated 
themselves, then the men, bearing Kesariya Bana (saffron coloured dress), 
attacked the enemy. For men who had been raised their whole life as 
warriors, nothing was considered more honourable for the Rajput male than 
to fight and die on the battlefield. Though they might occur at different 
times jauhar and saka were always performed together.[citation needed]
Despite occasional confusion, this practice is not related to sati. While 
both practices have been most common historically in the territory of 
modern Rajasthan, sati was a custom performed by widowed women only, while 
jauhar and saka were committed while both the partners were living and only 
at a time of war. The practice of jauhar by the royal women may have led to 
rise of social practices like sati in the ensuing centuries where woman 
were forced to die on their husband's funeral pyre.
