The history of the SKPs dates back to 12th century AD since a general Ambud, a Somavanshi
Kshatriya Pathare from Anhilvaad, Gujarat, tried to attack a Shilahaar king. The Somavanshi
sena from Dahanu then helped Yadavs to conquer North Konkan and defeat the Shilahaaras.
The Yadav kings accommodated the Somavanshi Kshatriyas in Dahanu in return for their help
to defeat the Shilahars. Later the king Bimbadev Rana got support from the old Gujarati
Somavanshi Kshatriya who had settled in Sopara about a century ago. Bimbadev donated 66
villages to his 66 Sardars(Somvanshi Kshatriya) of the "Sasti" island. These Somavanshi were
known as "Sashtikars". Bimbadev honoured and released orders in 1204 A.D. that the
Somavanshi Kshatriyas are eligible to use "Chattra Sinhasana and 5 Kalashas". Thus since
1204 A.D. these Somavanshi Kshatriya clans (both from Orissa Somavanshi clan who had
settled in Shurparak in 280 A.D. and Gujarati Somavanshi clan) came to be known as
"Panchkalshis".
SKPs share an important status in the history of this city as land owners
and as a community which gave the city of Mumbai many architects, engineers, building
contractors and visual artists. Their last names reflect the locations of the land they owned in
the different parts of the city - Chemburkar, Dadarkars, Mahimkar, Goregaonkars, Paralkars,
Chaulkar,Urankar, Jukar(Juhukar) etc. The Chogles were credited to be the navy builders of the
Maratha Navy. They were rewarded by the ruling Marathas with land near Mumbai, which now
constitutes Borivali and the surrounding suburbs. The SKPs are also based in the nearby places
of Mumbai like Alibag, Uran, Chaul, Revdanda, Murud, Maap gaon, Kihim and others.
